My First Cease and Desist Letter!
I got a C&D message from Tao Wong's Editor company, they asked me to change the title, because they copyrighted "The System Apocalypse" as it's the name of their series. Mine didn't have the "THE" part, but that was not the hill I'll die on. So you now have Sara's Fabulous System Armageddon instead of the former title.

Update schedule!
This novel shall update every Sunday, at the same time, if RR servers work as intended. Each chapter will be around 3k ~ 5k words. I already have a few scheduled ones and a lot of drafted content which is currently undergoing several passes of editing and review. It's a radical shift from how I worked in the previous years (draft and publish, as fast as possible) but I am hoping it will lead to an increase in quality.
In Loki's Honor will continue to be updated. I set the schedule to "weekly" exactly to leave me time to work on that.
Maybe "Sara" will become my K.U. debut. That's not scheduled for 2022, if ever. But I will set a Patreon sometime next month. Both Sara and ILH will have advance chapters available there.

What is this novel about?
I often find that people fill the blanks of the story using the content of the first few chapters. When the story takes a turn that seems obvious to the author, people get shocked because it mismatches the expectations they created when they filled those blanks with their own imagination. This section intends to avoid that without detailed spoilers (but spoilers nonetheless because the author is telling you what is going to happen in the future).
We'll follow Sara as she navigates post-apocalyptic Earth. For now it's just the area east of downtown Atlanta, but it will eventually spill over to other places. It is Lit-RPG and there's a System (it's in the title, dammit) but this is not Solo Leveling (the Korean one). If things don't go past Patagonia (that's America's (the continent, doh) southernmost point), everyone will get the System.

Differently from other similar novels (it's a genre by now) that get the System in chapter one, people will have to squirm a bit before they reach that point where they can level up and grow stronger by fiat.
Also differently from many "Post-Apocalyptic Earth System" stories, there will be no asshole alien overlords whatsoever. I'll leave those to Tao Wong, Matt Dinniman, Ryan DeBruyn, Mirrored, L. M. Kerr, and TheFirstDefier. I told you it's a genre by now. Also, I recommend all those authors.
Regarding the four warnings RR asks the authors to mark, I checked all but "Sexual Content" (That's Traumatizing Content, Profanity, and Gore - We'll get tons of those). I don't feel the need to explore the characters' sexuality in this work, and I don't do gratuitous smut. Every sex chapter i wrote in my other novels had a purpose other than badly titillating the reader.
We'll have undead, supernatural entities, monsters, and survivor conflict. Technological decay and societal regression. This is a weak-to-strong novel, but not in the absurd levels often seen in similar Lit-RPG works. I want to keep it down-to-earth for now.
Please keep an open mind. The scope will grow after a while, then grow again. Don't mistake the trees for the forest.

Evo-Gaming
Evolution based StarCraft story with game-like elements. Everyone gets a good cheat-like system with well design UI and player-friendly system. I get this broken piece of shit Alpha version. Not to mention, that starting at the very bottom is not that fun. Oh well, let's hope things get better later. Warning - If you read this now, you will be essentially beta tester. The story will include biology, chemistry, but will not focus on it too hard. I aim to please both groups but inevitably will probably alienate both the people who dislike the subject and the ones who like it.

Reverie
Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier. It turns out, life isn’t that simple. For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked for centuries to ensure the land stays at peace. As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps. Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace. Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing. When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them. And there’s more at play in their ‘peaceful’ world than they’d thought. Cover art by Rin! Check out her work!

The Gambit
The kingdoms have rarely experienced peace, with kings and rulers warring against each other on any percieved slight. With explorers riding the waves to find new lands and merchants eager to set up trade routes while profiting as much as possible. Would the status quo still hold up? The veil is already weakining as more magic and horrors seep through the gap. How would the world deal with the sudden increase in the limited resource of magic? With the times changing, barren lands become trade hubs and the power shifts. The system holding it all together, is in a fragile balance, would a single death break the balance and cause the most devastating war the people have experienced. The direction of the story : The story will not contain any main protagonist, rather multiple protagonists and antagonists with the protagonists having bad some character traits and the antagonists some good ones. I plan to make a story of flawed humans, so if you are looking for OP MCs you would not enjoy it. But I still hope you give it a try. This is my first time writing and I am doing it to get better, so any suggestion or criticism is welcome. I am a university student, so do not expect a robust upload schedule, I'll try to put out 2 chapters a week, but there might be some delays. I apologize for it in advance. P.s. English is not my native language, so there might be some errors, though I tried to mitigate them as much as possible.
