《New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]》[Bonus Episode] - Author's Note - Volume 2 announcement
Advertisement
Heya 😊
Thank you all for sticking around during this in-between volumes break. Starting this upcoming Monday, I’ll be seeing you almost every day with new chapters of the second volume of New Paris. There will be a few changes coming to this story, and a few points that I wish to discuss.
First, I will be opening a Patreon where you’ll be able to read advance chapters. Check it out at the link below. Currently I’m only able to offer 3 and 5 advance chapters, but those numbers might (and probably will) go up as I build more of a backlog. Since Patreon does not allow for tables, the formatting of the chapters will be a bit different there, with a mixture of [ ] and screenshots of larger tables.
Second, I am looking for alpha readers for the first volume. I have tried turning towards reddit and other forums for help, and have ultimately decided to follow the advice that a fellow writer gave me, and ask my readers for help. I need feedback on any developmental stuff, like pacing, plot, character motivation, etc. In exchange, I can offer you a special mention in my next volume, a physical copy of the book when/if it comes out, and a self-insert/cameo character. Send me a DM if you’re interested.
As far as typos and the like go, I will no longer be editing volume 1, as I intend to rewrite parts of it. Volume 2 should have less of those since I am systematically putting it through Grammarly before uploading, in addition to regular proof-reading. But, as you know, those kinds of software’s are not 100% reliable, and I do still have dyslexia (unfortunaly), so I apologise in advance for any typos in the second volume. I will be doing my best to get rid of those ASAP.

Speaking of this upcoming volume, there will be a few changes compared to the previous one. First, unless something big happens irl, I do intend to stick to a regular upload schedule. Chapters will be released four times a week, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I’m doing this for two reasons: first, I have found that this kind of break/daily system increases visibility, and second, I want to avoid a burn-out. However, if everything goes smoothly, I might do releases on every working day after the mid-season break.
On that note, if anyone’s interested in the more technical side of writing, here are a few things I want to share; this upcoming volume will be roughly twice as long as the previous one, based on the length of my outline. Chapters will also be longer on average, since I have gotten into the habit of making them ~1.5k. This means that there will hopefully be fewer two-parters. I also want to change the design of my tables, to make them more legible. So, if you haven’t done it already, please go vote on your preferred design changes on the previous author’s note.
And last but not least, as of now there are 5 volumes in total planned for this series. I can’t promise a timeline just yet, but I am hoping to release another volume during the winter Writathon. But that will depend on many factors, including the intensity of my uni courses.
That’s all for now, stay tuned for a character and story recap.
And thanks for sticking around with me during this break :)
Cheers,
Eve.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.
