Bringing Chaos to Life – My First Step Into #BookTok

Jul 12, 2025
1 min read

It’s finally happened—Echoes of the neXt has officially made its first appearance on #BookTok! This week, I’ve released a brand-new promo video featuring one of the book’s most enigmatic characters: Chaos. With his wild white hair, glitch-ridden trench coat, and a mind that crackles with fractured brilliance, Chaos has always lived vividly in my imagination—but seeing him rendered through AI video for the first time? That was something else entirely.

This is one of the things I absolutely love about working with AI tools in storytelling. They don’t replace the words—they amplify them. For writers like me, who’ve lived with these characters in our heads for years, it’s something truly powerful to finally see them, to put pictures to the prose. It gives readers a whole new window into the world, and honestly, it gives me chills every time a scene or character I dreamed up takes digital form.

If you're on TikTok, check out the video and let me know what you think—this is just the first spark. I’ll be sharing more visual content, character moments, and behind-the-scenes glimpses as Echoes of the neXt continues to spread. And if you’ve ever wanted to meet the mad prophet behind the signal storm... now’s your chance.


Let’s see where this journey through the neXt takes us.#BookTok, here we come.
