《WTF I'm a Dungeon!? (Dropped)》*Update* I'm definitely NOT NOT NOT going on Hiatus.

Sorry for no chapters this week, got hit by the combined attacks of the Maths, Physics, Biology and Law tests. (Pretty sure I failed at least 2) Not in the mood to write anything for at least another 2 or 3 days, my brain still hurts from the last minute cramming.
Few things to say, I'm deleting DP 1.1 and rewriting it (yes again) and I'm going to actually finish the prologue/opening act (At this point it's not too long to be a prologue) because a commenter pointed out that this 'prologue' is actually a pretty good way for me to hook in readers since I get to demonstrate my ability as a writer (That one good fight scene), do some decent world building, and use an interesting way for which reincarnators ended in this world other than:
A wild truck kun appears! Boom bitch you're dead! Also here's god.
God: Hey bitch your dead.
Generic MC: I am completely fine with this because the author did not have the creativity to create a believable human reaction to realizing your own death!
God: Except your not really dead! I'm reincarnating you because I feel guilty about this one specific dude for dying despite the fact that thousands of you guys die every day and I do not feel guilt over them or try to save them. Not counting the fact that I, God am a higher existence than humans and should by all rights see humans as mere ants beneath my feet. No, I'm just the Deus Ex Machina for making the power fantasy work, why would I need proper character development or believable motives?
Generic MC: Oh wow. I am so shocked by this development. I should make a joke about light novels at this point because even though the author acknowledges that this trope is overused, he doesn't care enough since he has neither the skill to create a great reincarnation story, or the creativity to add in some unique features. No, I just need to make some joke about this seeming like a novel to make this novel seem smarter than it really is!

God: Yes indeed, a 4th wall breaking joke about the novel trope is definitely completely original and not overused. I mean our author is doing it right now!
Generic MC: What?
God: Also, it's dangerous to go alone! So take this cheat! Despite the fact that the gift of a second life should be plenty for you poor plebs, I feel like I should give you some random superpower just to skip all the boring bits about gaining strength through life or death battles, where even the slightest mistake can cause death or chaotic political maneuvering of human factions as you try to establish your own power. Nope, those are way too boring for our target demographic, who can't possibly possess the critical thinking or IQ to comprehend any of what I just said! Let's just hand you a random power and let you go!
God: Or if I'm lucky, your some kind of super genius middle class working man who is somehow completely overworked, despite being an undoubtedly valuable asset to the company, since you possess deep knowledge of literally everything and you are Einsteins reincarnate. If that's the case, then I don't need to do anything at all! Your well explained and well defined high intellect will cause you to science the way out of things and that will be enough to make the audience think that the author is smart and creative, despite literally shoving the same old shit down their mouths with the OP power being replaced with SCIENCE!
Generic MC: Well that's unfortunate! I'm not some kind of super genius with unexplained intelligence or mismatching social status, I better just take the cheat option.
God: Well here you go! Now see ya!
Something like that. To be honest I just rushed the first chapter and got rid of the prologue since people kept unfollowing and I saw it as a sign that I was doing something wrong.

Also, I'm moving away from spontaneous releases (releasing a chapter the moment I finish them) and will instead do scheduled releases. I plan on stockpiling chapters so that I have more time to review and re-edit them, hopefully making it so that I don't need to use the rewrite hammer in the future. And by stockpiling chapters I don't feel like I have to force myself to write chapters especially in busy weeks like this one was. Currently, I'm about 80% done with Prologue Part 3, and there's a very good chance the prologue will turn into a 4 parter. I should stop calling it a prologue, 0.1 Opening Act Part 1 sounds better and makes more sense given that it's now expected to be 10 thousand words and 4 chapters long.
Since my holidays are starting I'm gonna try to finish at least 2 or 3 chapters next week to start the stockpile, and hopefully maintain it. I will try to release Prologue Part 4 with Part 3 and get the damn prologue over with, but no promises.
Also, vote on when you prefer your updates but if its something early like Monday or Tuesday then don't expect me to be on time next week. My brain is still too fried for me to write anything more than an overused joke.
And that was the update from your author, Leader of the Cliffhanger Sect, High Wizard of the FFF Inquisition, Dabbing Penguin and Devout Believer of the Church of Ayer, Sir Nil!

Black Sky
Space... An endless expanse of darkness populated by countless specks of light. Around many of those specks of light planets orbit, just cosmic motes of dust, but on some motes, there is life. And life, not content to stay on those motes of dust, found a way to challenge the endless expanse, to leap through the void to find other specks of light. This is the story of Leonora Horn, aspiring Starfighter Pilot of the Solari Federation and her travels through the Black Sky. [This story is set in the same Universe as my story Scarlet but both can easily be read individually] [This story contains a female, bisexual protagonist.]

Beth Coldwell is dying. With her weak heart, she may not live to the end of the week. She has an operation scheduled and it's completely reasonable that she could die on the table. For her guardian, Christian Henderson, this is unacceptable... but what can he do? How can he stand between her and death? Inexplicably, he provides an operation that saves her life, but he can't tell how he saved her. It is a secret so dangerous that it must be kept from everyone. And Beth cannot rest until she finds out why she's still alive and who Christian Henderson really is.
8 705Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.
