《Single Player》Not a chapter- Announcement

In the meantime, here's my recommendations for some good things to read (both webnovels and books, links will be in the note at the end):
Jade City by Fonda Lee- Love mafia/gangster stories? Here's one set in an Asian-inspired city. Jade City follows a family that leads a clan of drug-enhanced fighters (Jade is a drug that gives you access to cool magic stuff), and the characters, world building, and plot are top notch. This series is probably my favorite read this year or close to it.
Super Powereds by Drew Hayes- College for superheroes. Do I even need to explain? The cast is super lovable, and the growth here is incredibly fun.
Desolada- This one is a webnovel right here on our lovely Royal Road. Many of you have probably read it (Cratom3, I've seen you in the comments), but the setting here is so unique. In a world of eldritch horrors, our MC has time powers that see him in the midst of a strange war between god-like beings. The mystery here is very compelling.
Spellmonger series- I've been reading this one for years (currently on the latest book), and it's definitely one of my favorites. Minalan is a magi, a wizard, and not a particularly strong one. Until a horde of goblins strong enough to threaten his whole country barrels down on him with special rocks that amplify magic power. This one is great for kingdom building and well thought out magic. Plus Minalan is a super compelling main character.
Virtuous Sons- Another webnovel. I love all things Ancient Greece and Rome, and I love all things cultivation. When you combine them, well... It's pretty good.
Some more popular recs that I didn't want to write about because you've probably heard about them:
The First Law series, Red Rising, Infinite Realm, Blood Song, The Rage of Dragons, Beware of Chicken, Cradle, Night Angel trilogy, and A Thousand Li.

Rotten Purity: A MHA Fanfic
(Villain Deku; My Hero Academia Fanfic) Think to yourself, just this one little question-"What if the Sludge Villain never got away?" (When a bottle doesn't drop to the floor, a world is changed forevermore) Izuku Midoriya was an ordinary kid in an extraordinary world; one of heroes, quirks, and promises of glory to all that dared to reach out for it. If you had a good quirk, that is. And destiny had that all wrapped up in a nice little package for him until something shifted. It was a minor cog that deviated in the clockwork of destiny, nothing significant in the scheme of things. But, as it turned out, even the most minor of cogs could cause a glitch in the machine. A fracture in fate. And what do you get with fractured fate? Why, who knows? The road he would walk upon in the future, whether it be one of thorns or sunshine, would be decided by him and him alone. "Life is composed of decisions and perspective. The scenario is irrelevant; one can dance in the rain or cry in it. Thus, the person we are and can become is a product of it as well. That is the very essence of life." Would he be a savior? A villain?Or something else entirely?That is the true question. Warnings: Gore, Murder, Suicide, Bullying, Depression, Self-harm.

Monstrous Path
This story is both dark and lighthearted, it will have a lot of deaths and gore scenes but not just for the sake of being edgy or something like that. Every being comes from someone’s life — a womb, an egg, the world, a God, and from itself. Then what about me? I came from a container, so what does that make me? Am I still a being? “I do not know — I want to understand — why?” This was my driving force to live when I opened my eyes, I had no need for food, I only needed to satiate my curiosity. But as I learned early on, life was not as simple as it seemed. Note: The Characters in this world would always have a reason for living, and the world moves not just because of the MC. This would also have a lot of tearjerking scenes (or so I would hope) Culture, Race, Government, and Language can and will be different and though some Races like Elves and Dwarves are present, please do not think that they are the same as every other.
