I am that Weakest Hero
I’m not naturally good at so many things. I just found my own way in.
Let’s embrace the flaw
Why this blog exists
I learned sports, finance and technology from scratch as an adult, late and badly. So I know exactly where beginners get stuck — and I write about the friction, and the way around it.

A note on language
I grew up in the south of Taiwan and have lived outside Taiwan for more than twenty years. I write here in English, but my books are in Chinese and English versions will take a while — I’d rather do them properly than quickly. Machine translation will get you the plot, but several characters are named with homophone wordplay, so their names come out strange. That part really is lost in translation.
