Interview With Author Sun The Pun
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a passionate writer focused on creating imaginative fantasy worlds that blend action, emotion, and original world-building. Each fiction reflects my ongoing journey to develop unique realms that spark curiosity and connect with readers.
As of 2025, I have published six books on Amazon. This includes three books in the Celestic Warriors series, one standalone novel, and two volumes from a newer series titled Elemental Wars. My work often draws inspiration from anime and tokusatsu storytelling while remaining rooted in original concepts and characters.
In addition to fiction, I also write articles and blogs in medium where I share insights into my creative process, story inspirations, and personal perspectives as a writer.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest series is Elemental Wars. While the initial spark came from my long-time love for Pokémon, the series quickly evolved into something entirely its own.
Instead of creatures being collected or controlled, Elemental Wars explores a world built around elemental tribes—each with its own identity, philosophy, strengths, and conflicts. I wanted to reimagine the idea of elemental power on a larger, more immersive scale, where the elements shape societies rather than serve as tools.
The inspiration was less about copying an existing franchise and more about expanding on a concept I always felt had deeper potential. Elemental Wars is my attempt to take that familiar foundation and build an original fantasy epic around it.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I tend to imagine my stories visually and mentally long before I ever start crafting them. Many of my worlds begin as daydreams while watching tokusatsu and anime, where I picture entire episodes, character pairings, and conflicts playing out in my head.
I don’t follow rigid outlines at first. Instead, I let ideas grow organically—sometimes starting from a single symbol, such as light and darkness, and gradually expanding those ideas into full worlds with their own rules and themes. My process is spontaneous, allowing the story to develop naturally rather than forcing it into a strict plan from start to finish. And thus, it makes the process fun rather than routine.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Rather than being influenced by a single author, my biggest inspirations came from anime and tokusatsu storytelling, particularly series like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. These works shaped how I think about long-form storytelling, character growth, symbolism, and the balance between action and emotion.
On the anime side, series such as Attack on Titan and other darker, character-driven stories influenced my approach to stakes and thematic depth. Together, these influences pushed me to create original worlds that combine the heroism of tokusatsu with the emotional and narrative complexity often found in anime.
What are you working on now?
Right now, I’m focused on sharing my thoughts, creative philosophy, and experiences through Medium articles rather than actively working on a new fiction project. Writing these pieces helps me reflect on my journey as a creator and better understand the worlds and ideas I’ve already built.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I rely primarily on organic discovery rather than aggressive marketing. I use platforms like Medium and Substack to share my thoughts, creative philosophy, and behind-the-scenes insights. I believe that when readers connect with the passion behind the work, discovery happens naturally over time.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Create because you love creating, not because a trend tells you to. Trends come and go, but passion is what sustains you through years of writing when recognition is slow. Finish your work, stay true to your vision, and don’t measure your worth by algorithms or instant attention.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Create from passion first, everything else is secondary. Even if success takes time, the fulfillment of building something on your own terms is worth it.
What’s next for you as a writer?
What’s next for me as a writer is continuing to explore and refine my creative identity. For now, I’m focusing on expressing my thoughts and ideas through Medium articles, reflecting on storytelling, creativity, and the worlds I’ve already created.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I would bring a few Goosebumps books by R. L. Stine. They were my favorites during childhood, and reading them would feel like reconnecting with the imagination and excitement that first made me fall in love with stories.
