    So on Webnovel app it told showed me "Commanding Wind and Cloud" under "More books by this author" when I was reading "The Favored Son of Heaven" but their author names are different. One is called 'Skyscraper' and one is called 'Highrise Building'. Is this a translation issue? Because honestly it seems like it could maybe be the case?
    The also have a similar cheat for the protagonist having a different world/dimension in which old grandpas teach you more knowledge when you sleep(CWC does it better but it's there in both).
    HELP!!!

    Yeah, probably translation inconsistency. Skyscraper is a high-rise building that has passed a certain height or floors.

    Are you assuming this as well or have you been able to check the original Chinese name of the author?

    Sorry for the late reply. I'm assuming you might already know the answer cause it takes hardly two minutes to search this.
    But anyway, let me type it down for you:

    As confirmed by @akhdanp1234, author of both novels is the same: '高楼大厦'.
    It's just a pen name used by the author which translates to tall building/skyscraper/ high-rise building. Different translators made different translations hence the confusion.
    His real name is 曹毅 (Cao Yi).
