《Drunk Dungeon》Update
Advertisement
Okay, so first I want to get some things off my chest.
I used to read a bunch of different stories over my life, plenty of fantasy novels, some sci-fi, maybe a few historical fiction and history books. The point is I loved to read a lot.
And as I grew older I started to write stories of my own. My first several were either fanfics taking blatant shitty turns or were books that should be burned and forgotten about. Yeah, my writing wasn't great. But as the years went on I started to get better, I outlined plots in my mind. Got better at organizing story elements, and got a clearer and clearer idea of what I wanted to write.
So I made one story and bonked that one hard. The story was fine, but I mixed up elements from one genre to another and didn't specify how they were related. I also lore dumped way too much on my readers every chapter, trying to squeeze very small details into the story when less large or intricate things could've done it just fine.
The point is, that my early writing attempts were sorta flawed in one way or another.
But then I made a story I liked and I felt other people liked it as well. I sorta got the hang of a story that second posted time. And I then started getting a bit burned out, so I wrote this one to help me recharge from that fiction.
But this didn't recharge me. First I made chapters way too long, around four thousand words to be exact. And that was seriously bothersome to write about and had the potential to be unhealthy for me. It was only last chap did I really see how tiring it was.
Then there's the fact that this story isn't going where I want it. I wanted it to be military dungeon core. But the story didn't achieve really anything on both those fronts. The descriptions of fights were too quick, the details of somethings not pandering out how I imagined, it was really just a mess.

So here's my plan moving forward, I want to continue this fic in one form or another and I need your help to decide on how to do that.
I could A( Continue writing this fic like how I've been doing previously (this one is super unhealthy so I will probably skip it and choose the second-highest option) B( Rewrite this story and post the story separately in a different fic C( Delete all the chapters on the current story and replace it with the one's I either feel are good enough to stay in and don't mess with the new plot or finally D( Put this story on hold for now and focus on my other one till I finish it.
I really want your opinion on these options and which one you'd like me to pick. Hopefully, you have a nice day. Till next time, chow.

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Top-tier poetry about catgirls. I don't really know what else to say. Not for people below a certain legal number?

Hey guys Perdere666 here! m(-_-)m Anyway, this is a new story from me. This idea came about when I was reading IRAS, Omni-Genius, hacker, Urban Legend and other similar genre. And I thought, wow, I like to write something like that and so here it is... However, since this is not the main story, I won't be able to update it as fast as Fantasial Apocalypse. In any case, this was just one of my wish-fulfillment kind of story so please don't be so strict about it~ (^-^)V - This is just for fun! I'm not good at writing synopsis but let's see: Daniel Flores died and was almost virtually revived by his lover/fiancee who turned out to be an evil mad scientist from a huge terrorist group. During his revival her lover/fiancee added some kind of experiment to his brain in order for his revival to be succesful. However, this was suddenly interrupted by a peace keeping force. And so, his revival failed. He died. However, suddenly he was transmigrated to another him from a parallel world. And that's where the story begins~ I hope you will like it! V(>.
