Currently working on rewrites in chapters up till this point, adjusting the timeline slightly for clarity, improving certain early fight scenes and much of the dialog that gave unwanted impressions. (I.E. Where i wrote something simply because it felt funny however it negatively impacted readers opinion of characters or story as a whole.)
10/6: working on typing up 22 and some random edits as the week goes on. we moved up to 50 hours a week so between that and my business start up its hard to dedicate time to this, but imma keep at it!
Rewrites im on chapter 7 sadly, still working on these, tho the reviews are discouraging... very discouraging
Been looking for an artist to commission, haven't found the right one yet. art style/quality/price <<
The intent is still to complete a version of the story up until this point and publish, hopefully that's completed in the next month or so.
Progress every day.
Oh, I need to do a full review on a story to join The Group, any victims er volunteers?
You can bug me on twitter this weekend to write! Or motivate me to write even more? https://twitter.com/Docnoximus
Basically once i have time, most likely Sunday, this page will have updated facts about the various race/clan/tribes, bestiary, i'll give away real world location equivalents, and character profiles with physical descriptions to the best of my ability. Hell i may even attempt more weapon art.
This just had to post here because i didn't want it in the middle of stuff since we cant edit chapter order yet.

Dialog improvements grammar wise, a metric shit ton of them, taking days.
Trying to give readers a better sense for how Nox feels about things early on. He comes across overly nonchalant. Intentional, but there was more then needed.
Basically, Lupa treats Nox far better, quite a bit more dialog between them, She's still a bitch to everyone else, also more added to that effect.
pushed back their first time, see timeline.
Asta given some lines early on, felt like she was a bit out of nowhere suddenly there character wise.
Fight scenes improved
Timeline adjusted for well, fucks sake lol
Added more dialog for Freki, key point added in prologue to help clarify the age rates
Dummed down Walt a bit in early chapters, it shouldn't ever feel like the siblings are any more intelligent than Nox.
Lighted some of the slapstick directed towards Nox
Removed portion of Raijin's introduction which pointlessly berated Nox. Looking for more of this as I go.
going to add more to Mora's character in her first week, for clarity as they leave yoden and in sigdun. In short: Shy, Bookworm, Berserker.
Rewriting the willingly arrested scene to give clarity to its purpose.
Characters,

When It Rains, It Pours
A train of thought compendium.I have them every now and then. Or to be more accurate, they have me. One offs. Shorts. Tales. Parables. Fables. And other weird things. This line has no schedule. No track number. No set destination. Sometimes it's an El. At other times, a space shuttle, taxi, caravan or fast moving treadmill. And every now and then it's a subway passing through underground caverns, littered with cobwebs. These sporadic ideas pop into my head at the weirdest of times. Some end in the middle. Some end with a fizzle. Some end with a bang.

Dungeon Man Sam
Dungeon Man Sam is a character-focused slow burn dungeon-building litRPG with elements of crafting Real Time Strategy. It updates 6 days a week, with a break on Saturdays. Dungeon Man Sam Vol. 1, Dungeon Man Sam and the Orphaned Core is now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! Official Dungeon man Sam Discord! Drop by and say hello! We're still tiny, but if you wave to me I'm always happy to wave back and chat! --------------- In a world where dungeons function as the backbone of national economies, dungeon construction is big business. Wealthy nations spend millions to have the best dungeon builders construct labyrinthine edifices full of the most dangerous traps and planted with the strongest dungeon cores in the hope of luring powerful adventurers in to retrieve the treasures generated deep within. Samuel Tolliver works for his father, who runs the finest construction crew on the continent. It is a good life, one that keeps him close to family and that earns him enough money to pursue his inventions when he has a free moment. He even has something of a talent for fixing things and keeping the various bits of equipment running. It should have been the best job in the world. There's just one problem. Sam hates dungeons and wants to destroy them all some day. And he's got the plan to do it, too. But life has a way of throwing curveballs at you. When a series of disastrous events that he himself set in motion culminates in Sam winding up dead, he thought that was the end of it. Until a voice came to him and offered him a deal, one he simply couldn't refuse. Now Dungeon Man Sam has returned to life as the guardian for a strange new dungeon core, one that will turn everything he knows about the world upside down and force him to set aside his hatred of dungeons. For the sake of himself, his friends, and his family, Sam must construct a dungeon like the world has never seen before and defend it against all comers, be they monstrous or adventurous. If he succeeds, he'll get to see his family again. If he fails, everyone he knows will fall into the grave. And somewhere beyond the range of his knowledge, something ancient and terrible stirs and takes notice. Dungeon Man Sam: When all you have is a hammer, you build. --------------- This Is A Work In Progress: This isn't the final form of Dungeon Man Sam, there's gonna be some typos, and things may change between chapters as I realize "crap, I didn't set that up nearly as well as I thought I did". I'll let you know if anything like that happens, and if you notice anything that you think is worth pointing out, feel free to let me know! Hope you enjoy the story!
