《The Age After》Introduction
Advertisement
The Age After is the third point of view novel about the heroine, Alice, and the world after the mysterious system activation. Post-Apocalypsis and yet not close enough. Slowly coming Apocalypsis?
For Alice, the novel starts with a dungeon crawler act. During it, I am going to slowly introduce the world changes through interludes. The Age After has 'action' as its main genre. I shall state it clearly: not shoujo, a slice of life, relationships, or a palace intrigue here, although it possibly contains such moments together with lots of world and character building.
It's all about monsters invading, monster-doing-monster-things and monster hunting with cool girl heroine instead of cool guy hero. That is it. I am naturally striving for a good plot behind, the judges would be you. No sudden OP elements. I also feature competent, useful side characters for both story and battles.
The Age After is rather slow-paced. It's not a comedy novel, I am trying to make it as realistic as I can... minding the tags and the fact that I want to focus on action scenes without the MC dying. Realistic =/= dark all the time though. The Age After is dark when it needs to be, it's just not the goal itself.
Anyway. The novel uses popular RPG elements - attributes, exp, skills, etc. I have been thinking about mechanic details for quite some time. What is different (or not, I just hope and want to highlight):
– Numbers do matter when I use them. That is why no HP or MP system here, they are way more arbitrary in text than I want them to be.
– Clear level up system, since numbers do matter.
– Clear exp/reward system.
– Traces of cultivation tag are indeed included in the box!
What else? Basically, my novel is R-18 without explicit sex scenes (at least until I learn how to write them).

Gore: well, it is Apocalypsys with monsters... I won't shrink away from showing unhealthy scenes.
Profanity: on a moderate level normally. Variations of the F-word, insults, swearing.
Traumatizing content (the most important): I plan some sexism, racism, speciesism... Suffering from various -isms characters won't be punished just for their existence. Some of them are even 'good' guys. I've warned you.
Release schedule: As fast as I am ready.
Chapter's length: 1,200-1,500 words for the main story hopefully growing larger. Various for interludes and side-stories.

Dreamers of Eternity - A Xuanhuan Webnovel
Tristan Ulrich is a peerless prodigy. All those that stand before him can do nothing but bask in his brilliance. However, he is of no interest to the Gods. Who, among the Gods, was not a peerless prodigy? But their eyes are peeled for one: Adrian, the Dreamer of Eternity. None dared to even dream of Perpetuity, let alone aspire for it. But he, alone, does. [Participating in the Writeathon] Average Length: 1.5 - 2.5k Words Disclaimer: MC will not cultivate at an absurd speed. It'll end up being Wuxia-esque for at least a hundred chapters before it turns into Xianxia / Xuanhuan. The end goal is immortality but it doesn't mean he has to get there quickly. The MC won't have any real plot armor or cheats that let him win effortlessly. Expect him to get thrown around or just barely win frequently. Yes, this is not a Wish Fulfillment / Power Fantasy so if you're looking for a story like that, this might not be your cup of tea.

8 201Player Glitch *paused*
Quod Venetus or QV for short, the greatest virtual reality game ever created and funnily enough also the name of the company. With a realism of 99% you can really start a new life in a land of swords and magic, and with its unique point shop system that can buy you anything if you have gathered enough points it's won many game mechanic awards.Just imagine if one player had advantage over this system. What a disaster that would be!??(Will write chapters of varying lengths)
