《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.

The Good Necromancer
Hundreds of years ago, shortly after the Great Cataclysm which destroyed the Ancient World, was the Age of Heroes. One of these great heroes started off in the most hated profession of the time, Necromancer. Join him and his comrades as they accomplish the first of the Good Necromancers legendary tasks. ***** So, quick update for those who pay attention to this section. I'm finally coming out of finals for this semester, and I plan on getting the whole already posted section revised. It's taken me a while to change the necessary things, as I had to start all the way over, but I've at least got the rough drafts for all the revised chapters. These should be going up within the next week or so, still have to go to work, but I am here, I haven't forgotten or dropped the story. Just trying to make this the best work that I can produce. P.S. I will be releasing additional stories. They are all going to be in the Good Necromancer world, however the others will give you an idea on how humans in other locations survived and have thrived. Or not. =)

8 189Cards of the Royal Guard
Within the laws of the world, only 16 people are allowed to obtain a given "name". The Gods deemed these 16 people as the rightful rulers of the world and demanded that any being who obtains a name would be punished. They designated one person to become the "Queen" of the 15 people. Once the "Queen" was chosen, "Queen" was then allowed to name 15 other people as the chosen ones to her Royal Guard. A chance encounter with Queen gave birth to King's name and with that he became the first to be named as one of her Royal Guard. Hidden beneath her smiling gestures of kindness towards King, Queen bears a daring spirit against the rules of God. Her agenda? To obtain the right for humans to give names to themselves so that everyone may be of equal value. But to do that, she must first find a way to break the ruling of the Gods and the various problems surrounding "names".
