Nikolai Novikov was born in the snows of Siberia at the very turn of the 21st century. After he’d had enough of snowbank diving and grappling with bears, Nikolai discovered the world of books, films and video games, devouring everything he could lay his hands on.

Then one day it dawned on him just as he was perusing yet another book, “WTF? I could do this better!” Spoiler alert: he couldn’t. Reality struck back hard as Nikolai realized that talent alone wasn’t going to get him very far. He needed to get the right skills.

So he went back to reading – this time analyzing other authors’ works and studying the craft of storytelling. Within several months, Nikolai had worked his way through a whole wealth of data with the sole purpose of improving his own skill.

As a result, his second book found its reader. He’d done it.

At 17 years old, Nikolai started writing.
At 18, he became a top author at one of the web novel sites.
He’s now 24, and his every new book turns out better than the one before it.
At 27, he intends to go worldwide.
At 30, he plans to conquer the world.

Is there anything at all capable of stopping this individual? Probably not...
