《Just a Rock》Author's Note 1
Advertisement
The chapters are so small that putting author’s notes in them would be distracting, so here’s one separate from the chapters on a few topics. Also, this is to commemorate reaching chapter 10.
Small chapter size:
The size of the chapters range from 200-500 words and are fairly short. This is because I’m trying to focus on being able to release chapters every day to help with an issue I have with dropping and procrastinating on fictions. The concept is to make the chapters so short that I won’t have an excuse not to write at least one per day. It’s also to test how popular a story of a rock can get with an active release speed.
Donation:
The donation policy on RRL requires at least 50000 words and 10 chapters. 10 chapters are easy, but for this fiction it might not hit 50k words until chapter 100. So a donation button is unlikely to happen for the time being.
Edit: This is no longer site policy. Story had a patreon for a bit, then got removed during one of the hiatuses.
Reviews:
I find the hyperbolizing and puns in the reviews to be amusing, but make sure you don’t break the rules. I’ve already deleted a 5 star review for vulgarity, I’m impartial towards reviews.
Edit: This account is no longer staff and due to lack of internet, I don’t log in to my staff account much, but please follow the rules as I’m still obligated to report/enforce them.
Ratings:
Feel free to rate this story if you want to, and rate it any score you want. Don’t feel pressured to rate it 5 stars like most of the reviews do right now. If you feel that it deserves a 4 then give it a 4. If lower, still go ahead, be honest.

Suggestions:
I’m planning on writing this story for awhile, so if you want anything to happen in the story, put it in the comments and I’ll see if I can pull it off somehow.
Puns:
If you make a pun in the comments or reviews, I might steal it if it suits the context well enough. Like the granite pun in the comments of chapter nine was just too perfect for what I was writing in ten.

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
