《Cultivation Anomaly Type 7A Variation 3Z》Planning things out (not a chapter)
Advertisement
So if you've been reading the comments, you know that I'm planning to reboot the story after planning things out better. If you haven't, well, that's what I'm planning to do. But I'm a bit overambitious when it comes to worldbuilding. I come up with so many ideas that I think are pretty cool, and I want them all! But unfortunately, some of them directly conflict. So I've come to you guys to help me decide which one to go with.
1. The World System
So this is about the general scale and sort of world we're dealing with. Do you guys want a massive scale, with Alistair going from planet to planet, or do you want the whole story to take place on a single world? And if you want multiple worlds, would you prefer a Yggdrasil sort of thing or planets floating in space?
2. Do you want him to keep his memories or not?
I was thinking of making his memories somewhat hazy. So instead of him having crystal clear memories of his past life, he'd have instincts, flashes of knowledge, dreams, and sometimes remember information. It'd be like when you have a dream that you remember, but is also hard to fully remember because it's a dream.
I figured that way I could play around with his character a bit more, making him more arrogant and stuff. But I could also do that regardless of his memories. I don't know. It was just an idea I had that I couldn't make a decision on.
3. Do you think he should have different perks/detriments?
I've been thinking about those a lot. Trying to come up with perks he can't exploit but are still genuinely useful is actually kinda hard. Detriments are easier, but I'd still like to hear your thoughts on them.

4. I want thinking of renaming this to One of a Kind. Do you like it? Do you think I should keep the current name? Or do you think I should change the name, but to something else?
5. Do you want him to have a different spiritual root? And what physique do you think he should have?
So I'm planning to cut out special meridians altogether. That's just too many fancy names to try and come up with.
Spiritual roots will still work the same, as will physiques.
Bloodlinesw essentially be pieces of a physique that can get passed from parent to child. They're special because they can grow naturally and because you're born with them and didn't have to do any work to have them.
I'm already planning to give him a bloodline. Just a small one, but it's what distinguishes a clan from a normal family. So he has to have one.
So do you guys think he should have a different spiritual root? And what physique do you guys want him to eventually acquire?
(I already have pretty solid plans for these, but since I'm asking a bunch of questions already, I figured I may as well ask this as well.)
EDIT
6. One person in the comments said to just make him OP. Do more of you want that? I'll try if you do, but it's pretty hard to write an interesting, engaging story with an OP protagonist. A lot of you would have to want that for me to try it.
So. Yeah. Love you all. Give any and all input you want.

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

Oblivion Online (complete)
Thanks for permission to use the cover by WanderingInPixels over on Deviant Art. As of 12-15-18, the story is finished. I am planning to edit and will release the books as I finish in one big go, but there isn't a timeline on any of that. Marty had a fairly easy life as a cook for Arctic Storm Entertainment headquarters when he gets an offer from the company to try out a new playstyle for their biggest VRMMORPG, Oblivion Online. Follow him as he makes his way through the game as one of the monster races trying to survive against the forces of light. Author's note: I will update every Monday and Friday for sure, with the possibilities of bonus chapters through the week if I get extra writing done. I also did a disservice to several of my characters early on. I'm slowly working through a re-write, but it will be a while as I want to make sure I get it right this time around.
