Novoland

Novoland (九州, Jiuzhou in Chinese, meaning Nine Provinces/Lands) is a fictional world created by a group of Chinese writers back in 2001. The main contributors to this universe are the so-called “Seven Deities”: Shuipao, Pan Haitian, Jin Hezai, Zhan’an, Yaokong, Duoshi, and Jiang Nan. They have published, through different publishing houses or their own magazines, plenty of novels and short stories, independent from one another, linked together by the same setting. Over the years, many other writers joined in, expanding this universe through new stories and characters, and the world of Novoland has become the inspiration for numerous computer games, movies and TV series.
