I made my MC the living embodiment of a popular "noble barbarian" folk hero archetype, grown from the DNA and "soul-splinters" of hundreds of individuals, all of whose perceptions of the aforementoned archetype combined with the sample material to form my MC. I made her a literal ubermensch that imposes her will on the world and uses "above-average" raw ability with sheer power of will and instinct to punch orders of magnitude above her own weight class.

I made my antagonists completely obvious political caricatures of cultural values and philosophies I dislike cranked to the max.

I made it a part of my lore that certain techniques, be it a sword slash or a fireball, can be embedded into the soul and recalled either with an incantation whose complexity depends on the complexity of the technique, or mental focus which scales the same way. In so doing, I made calling out special moves and/or concealing said incantations an integral part of martial arts.

There's an entire novella-length side arc about two side characters infiltrating an occupied city, fomenting violent revolt, showing people how to pick out glowniggers, and then having said glowniggers hanged from street lamps on that same day, all to distract from the recovery of a genius engineer whose work is vital in producing compact mechs and bleeding-edge repeating firearms.

My final big bad is a xianxia protagonist at the end of his own story, i.e a sociopathic chinaman.

I will write what I want to, I will have fun, and so will my readers.
