《RESPAWNED: New Game Plus》A quick poll
Advertisement
I went to the library to borrow a certain book for reference. Unfortunately, they didn't have it. I have to wait about a week before it gets in. Until I get that book, I probably won't post anything.
So in the mean time, I am putting up a poll
Since The end of the arc is near, I will be doing the rewrite of the first 10ish chapters because I REALLY don't like how I wrote it back then.
Do you guys want me to do all the rewrites first before continuing on with the story, or should I do one chapter at a time?
EDIT:
As of now, I am starting to write the next arc since the referenced book won't affect my writing until later on.
Edit 2:
While I was procrastinating, I was actually doing something that helps me with writing. I was reading a lot of badly written WN.
I was analyzing them as I read them, making sure I list the reasons why I didn't like them. That way, I won't repeat the same mistake when I am writing mine.
Reason 1- Damage numbers
It looked cool at first, but when I re-read the chapters, it felt lame. I feel that if I keep using it, I will fall into the "Over 9000" trap, where I just make the fight scenes look cool by enlarging the numbers.
Reason 2- Skills
After writing a bit more for this story, I started to feel that I should have made written this story to be less reliant on the acquisitions of skills, to push the story forwards. I feel a lot more comfortable by pushing the story towards a "low magic/skill" settings, sort of like Game of Thrones.
Reason 3 - Writing rules
A bit into the writing the story, I made a decision that it will follow theses rules:
1- NPC will always be written in third person perspective
2-PC will always be written in first person perspective
3- Everything will be written in past tense if possible
I found that a lot of the previous chapters were breaking these rules

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)
