《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.

Some cooking and some daydreaming within. (I see you slice of life) --------- WIP art by Katie Z.
