It has been nearly 3 years since I started writing the Tetris guidebooks.

I was only expecting to write just one main Tetris guidebook (mainly Book 2). However, I never expected to have created an entire series of around 7 books as of today.

Currently, I have Books C, D, and minus 1 planned. C and D will be short books on extra Tetris methods and content that I left out in the main series, Books 1 to 4. Book minus 1 will be part 2 of Tao of Tetris (Book 0), which is on the spirituality of Tetris.

However, I will be taking a sabbatical before continuing the aforementioned books. After all, there is only so much motivation and endurance one has. Having written nearly 2,100 pages of comprehensive Tetris content, I wish to temporarily step back to continue what I was doing before this project: writing novels.

Some of you might know that I have published 8 full-length spiritual and philosophical dark fantasy novels. My other website, https://www.theeternalreflection.com/ (which I will discontinue soon because Wix.com is too expensive; hence, this link may no longer work after May 2026), contains descriptions of my novels. My Eternal Reflection novels do not use AI-generated text in the slightest. However, I will incorporate and transfer that website’s data into a specialized subsection on howtotetris.com to promote my novels.

And why am I doing this?

It is because I have realized that all my Tetris guidebooks, Tetris guide websites (howtotetris.com and https://galactoidtetris.wordpress.com/), spiritual novels, and Tetris philosophy content converge on the next main project I will be focusing on: a Tetris spiritual and philosophical novel.

I have already written nearly 400 pages of it and hope to complete this estimated 500-page novel this year. I see it as the synthesis of my life’s philosophy and Tetris experience.

This Tetris novel references my Tetris guidebooks, Tetris websites, and my spiritual novels. That is why I will create a subsection on howtotetris.com for my novels. I am linking everything into an ecosystem.

What is interesting is that it will be a literary (rather than commercial) novel that follows the presentation of philosophically profound authors, such as Herman Hesse, David Foster Wallace, Thomas Pynchon, and Dostoevsky.

As a Tetris expert with 9 years of experience writing fiction and 5 years of experience writing Tetris guides, I am in a unique position to write this novel. In fact, I am the only person in the world who can write this novel, because I will write it based on my authentic experiences rather than commercial calculations (many Tetris fiction authors do not play Tetris at a high level).

Regarding the specific details, I will only announce them once the current manuscript is much closer to finalization. However, I feel that this Tetris novel will cover many Western and Eastern spiritual themes, geopolitical and sociological dimensions, and various philosophical concepts. If you were to look at my Tao of Tetris (Book 0), you would find that this new Tetris novel will discuss applied spiritual concepts far deeper than that book could ever cover. And these concepts can have important implications and applications for readers in their own lives.

Until this Tetris novel is complete (I am about 50% through), I will temporarily postpone writing Books C, D, minus 1, and creating more Tetris tutorial videos. The reason for this is also that writing the current 7 Tetris guidebooks and making the 54 Tetris tutorial videos is a purely intellectual endeavor. Over many years, this can numb even the most acute or scholarly mind. Hence, for my own mental and spiritual well-being, writing a Tetris novel would stimulate me not just intellectually, but also creatively, artistically, emotionally, and spiritually – vastly assisting in my healing and rejuvenation.

Therefore, I will most likely continue writing more Tetris guidebooks in the future. However, I am taking a break from purely intellectual work by writing this creative endeavor – this Tetris philosophical novel that would be of equal, if not greater, importance than my usual Tetris guides.

When the Tetris novel is nearly finished, I will announce it on this website.
