《Dungeon Runner》A question about book 2 in this series
Advertisement
Bottom Rung is reaching its end. Chapter 64 is the conclusion, and it was written yesterday, becoming available on my Patreon tomorrow.
I have book 2, Stepping Up, ready to start on, but I need to know something from you, the readers of book 1.
Do you want Book 2 posted here as I write it, or do you want me to wait until I start on draft 2?
As a frame of reference, the majority of Bottom Rung was a draft 2 posting. Chapters 47 and a dozen or see after that are the only ones that are brand new and therefore qualify as draft 1, so you can compare
What are the advantages of draft 1 posting? You get the chapters right now(ish) (I might jump a few days before posting the book 2 chapters.)
Disadvantage? The story will be clunkier. I do a lot of discovering when I write the draft 1, if I realize an event should have happened in an earlier chapter, I will have the character remember the even happening. Dialogue will have a lot of ‘bobbing heads’ since I am more focused on getting the discussion down than establishing the body language. Grammar should be to the same level, since run drafts 1 through the same editing tools as I do drafts 2.
Advantaged of waiting until draft 2? A cleaner story with characters who have more consistent personalities.
Disadvantage? An unknown timeframe. I don’t know how long book 2 will be. I also don’t know what my writing schedule will be like, since I’m returning to work on the 10th unless something happens with my checkup on the 6th. While I’m working, I will only be able to write 1 chapter of book 2 a week.
Regardless of the decision, book 2 will start on my patreon https://www.patreon.com/kindar within a few days, so anyone will be able to catch it there if the decision is to not have me post it here.

Alpha Physics - Post Apocalyptic LitRPG
A LitRPG Post Apocalyptic Novel. I would just like to thank everyone who has left comments and suggestions. I am confident that your feedback has made this a better series. Book 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are now on Amazon unlimited!!!!! Book 6 is currently being published and will be pulled down in the first week of August. I have also left the first two chapters of book 1 up as sample chapters for those who have not read the series yet. Word of warning the first third of the book is apparently very slow and then gets a lot better. Synopsis In the apocalypse, the first weapon he’ll have to upgrade is himself. The end of the world as we know it couldn’t come at a worse time for Adrian. One minute, he’s an operations manager who’s overseeing a construction job in the wilderness. The next, an unknown energy force changes the very nature of life itself, from the smallest organism to the top of the food chain. The earth’s surviving inhabitants, its environment, and the very laws of physics have all undergone fundamental transformations. Many of those changes aren’t pretty. Plenty of them are deadly. Luckily for Earth, this has happened to other species before, and everyone receives an interface that survivors of similar events have used to navigate through an alien landscape. Adrian’s going to need every advantage he can get. He’s stranded in the middle of nowhere, there are days, maybe weeks of travel between him and his family, and in a world full of monsters and mayhem, survival means beating the learning curve…
