《Dark Lord For Dummies?》A tl;dr shitty tear-jerking notice
Advertisement
Ooookay, where should I start... I know! Let's start with this one sentence of truth: This web serial is shit, absolute garbage, an abysmal poor excuse of a novel that sucks everything on a hardcore level.
Okay that's an exaggeration. In RRL standards, it's average if not above. While that's well and all, and believe me I loved the support, enthusiasm, and well-done criticism everyone gave me and this story, it just feels like something is missing.
I started this shit with no clear plan in mind, a ‘the wind will take me somewhere’ kind of start. It had been fun, at the very least, just scribbling with reckless abandon then throwing it out the middle of the road (which is shit attitude in real life, by the way).
But I feel like this, this story, is something good. No, scratch that, ‘great’, in my opinion, but I lack the skills to tell the story well. And that amounts to nothing at all. I feel like it would be a waste to tell this story in this level of execution (which is, 1 to 10, I would rate myself 3) and that you, my readers, deserve more than these abysmal first draft chapters.
All that soppy drama said, I'm closing the curtains.
No, no, I'm far from dropping it. I won't drop it, on the contrary, I will work harder for it, but you just won't see them for a while. A complete rewrite, yes, because I'm not satisfied on my work. The story deserves more quality, and you good sons of bitches do, too.
I'll be working on fixing things like the magic system which had been so overwhelmingly complicated that everyone's heads are already spinning. And also a myriad of other issues.

So exactly how it sounds like, I won't be updating for a while. I don't know how long it will take (somewhere around 3 months to a whole year, all depends on my speed and skill). That said, I'm open to beta readers, who I can contact in private, and feed crappy vomit cereals along the way.
Now why would anyone want that? I guess I'll give those who participate a little something... Like a character named to them, yes. Anyone who wants to be a beta reader can, you know, shout in the comments (I'll be reading them with great vigor) or give me a private message. I will add you as a buddy and send chapter drafts as pm's.
A character named Azuriq or Dragrath should be nice (Yes, I'm looking at you guys). Please join the dark side. I won't stop checking comments and replying, and am always open to suggestions, criticism, words of encouragement, roasting and what-have-you.
With that all said, this tl;dr crappy notice shall now end. I'll see you guys next millennium.

Biography: Parents disappeared at a young age, lived with his brother. After the age of ten, his brother also disappeared. Since then, he has lived in exile at the beginning of the street. Because to continue living, I used to do many jobs, from begging to stealing, I have been in and out of prison many times. Although he is a sinner, Noah is a man of principles, not the type of person who likes to do wrong things. Due to living in a bad environment, Noah's personality is very closed, being a careful person, thinking before and after. He has no passion for gambling or prostitution, he prefers quiet places.

Because it's the apocalypse genre, what's bad in real life is in the story. This is a survival story, not a self-made story, so there is no coloring, bragging, flirting, or going for a walk. As for human values, please read and feel.

8 51Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia
Book one now available on Kindle. The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.
