  1. I think it makes some sense that you were able to go from the Wonder Woman to the Jade Emperor in just a few steps through the Wikipedia trail. This one actually caught my eye because I wrote a story that involved Wonder Woman. She was important to the Amazonian people. Then I could see how you somehow get a demigod from the Amazonian people since it is not really too specific. Then you are able to link a demigod to an actual god. Good job.
