About JY Yang

The Singaporean writer JY Yang has been writing for quite some time now, having put out a lot of work at a regular and ever consistent pace, some novels even being released simultaneously. This has lead to one of the most impressive backlogs of work, as Yang has managed to create both series and colorful novels set firmly within the East Asian traditions of their culture. Largely focusing on the subgenre of ‘silkpunk’ novels, they’ve managed to establish a niche that is very much their own, allowing it to stand-out from the rest of the novels within its field. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, JY Yang has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
