Cookie: Toads…
Krill: Pendragon, one of the largest groups on RRL, went through a large restructuring process to help them better deal with the large member base they have accrued. Their chat now includes ‘classrooms’ to help authors improve their writing!
Cookie: I don’t like classes…
Krill: A new and much requested feature has made its way to RoyalroadL at last, as authors can finally schedule releases of their chapters! There are still a few bugs that are currently being worked on, but the development team is on it!
Cookie: Good job guys!
Krill: The front page of RRl (for logged in users) now includes trending fictions near the top, a move greatly supported by the author community, as well as the return of a better, more well regulated ‘top reviews’ section! Top weekly has also been brought to the front page, as has a feed of news and updates meant to convey important information directly to the community.
Cookie: But our news section is better! ❤
Krill: Writers To The End and Pendragon are currently working on the specifics of a new ‘house war’ after WriTE’s amazing performance in the previous one (Pendragon’s predecessor – Scribble – was utterly destroyed.)
Cookie: Ha!
Krill: Asphaltus – a member of Writers To The End – along with the rest of WriTE, held a ‘scene writing’ contest whose winner will be revealed soon!
Cookie: Awesome!
Krill: Finally, a famous author – FrustratedEgo – has finished the first book of his ‘The Fiasco’ series so go check it out!

Mortalis Mortal
Death. The end, supposedly. And yet, for Andy Jameson, it was part of his new job. After years of depression and stagnation, Andy gets a new career to restart his life… but, thing is, the job description wasn’t very accurate. Instead of working in the tech industry, he was killed, reborn into a new world, and now has to serve as a mischievous god’s prophet with the duty of throwing reality into utter chaos. To say it was a bumpy ride would be an understatement. Join Andy as he transforms into Chaon, the creator and destroyer of worlds. Victories, failures, and struggles within a magical realm rich with monsters, kingdoms, demons, angels, wars, gods, and secrets better left unseen. Allies did he make. Enemies too. Friends, companions, lovers, rivals. Will he bring chaos? Peace? Bloodshed? Will his ascension lead him to be worshiped as a hero? Or feared as a monster? Or the most important question yet… will he even survive that long? Story Information Spoiler: 3rd Person Past-Tense StyleGenres: Fantasy, Adventure, Action, Romance, Mystery, DramaTags: Magic, Harem, War, Discovery, Intrigue Maturity: - Light Cursing, but not much (D-word mostly) - Will contain occasional sex scene - Will deal with dark topics at times (slavery, rape, tragedy) I’ll warn you of potential shaky topics in the pre-chapter notes so you aren’t blindsided, or so you can skip the spots. Release Schedule Spoiler: Currently, about one to two chapters per week is my goal.

Bloody Hell
Alan Maxwell has one exceptional talent. He can read peoples body language and micro expressions so well that, in many cases it's not hard for him to fake being psychic. When a foreign agency decides that said talent would make him an exceptional spy, events quickly begin to spiral out of control. With enemies on all sides, and friends that will as soon kill each other as his enemies, Alan will have to put his skills to the test in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. ===I came up with this story in response to a question. I once asked someone why there weren't really any Yandere harems. I realize that the answer to that is 'everyone dies' but thats boring so... here we are. A story I came up with explicitly as an excuse to create a harem entirely out of obsessive psychopathic axe murderers. Or in other words - "What happens to Bond girls when they disappear?"As a warning, there are sex scenes. Its tagged. I'll leave an authors note at the top of any chapter that has them if you'd prefer to skip it.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
