"What book should I read next?"

@Random Bystander

"Hm... You might like the Reckoners series... Or..." She went on to list all of the unread Brandon Sanderson books out at the time.

Nope!

On another note, Fadran, is it okay if we write Jinn out...? It was kinda the source of our writing woes in the first place...

Nope. It came out in 2017, this is 2015.

"Uh... it appears as if our genie has disappeared." That wasn't good... Now they couldn't solve any problem with a sentence. It had only been a day but she had gotten used to a friend with infinite power, and if they bailed now...

What have you done.

The Nia2n Sho4u  never died. The Chinese are safe, they kept their ancient traditions, but everyone else...

"What? Jinn is gone? What about the monsters outside our door?" Daisy asked, nervously.

Nian Shou, the chinese Year Beast, the reason behind Chinese New Year. It was chased away, but never died. It comes out on Chinese New Year and eats everything it can get at. It destroys whole villages. It fears loud sounds and the color red.

Ah. I looked it up, but a combination of the random numbers in the word, the lack of "shou" in most sources (most were generalized to just all Nian), and my dumb monkey brain made me want to clarify.

Numbers were tones. And yeah, for some reason us westerners just call it "year"(translation of nian) instead of it's actual name.

He had to go because there were no stakes with him around. We could just wish away all of our problems, and that doesn't really lead to a good story.

Is this sarcasm or actual? I can't tell.

No, really, I did not know numbers used to indicate tone when translating Chinese to English.
