《How The Weak Live》Update
Advertisement
Ok, this is the second time I'm writing this. I really hope Royal Road doesn't crash on me again.
For those of you that remember how one of the chapters I was writing got deleted because the website crashed on me, well, I haven't learned my lesson.
Take TWO: So I thought about writing both of my fictions at the same time, or maybe post a chapter here every once in a while, but then I started using my brain and decided not to.
How The Weak Live is not a story I can write carelessly. Sure, the writing is difficult in its own rights, especially when I have to change the tone and style for each of the four different characters, but that's not the main issue. The biggest factors that make How The Weak Live is the combination of world-building, story complexity, storytelling, character progression, politics and other empires, dystopian elements, and the RPG world, and the system of Gods, as well as their lore.
As you can see, there is just so fucking much I need to tell you that I really don't know where to begin; hence the irony of having so much to say that I could not say any of it. Sure, I can just keep writing and hope for the best, but that's something you only do when you don't care as much for something.
And I do care for this fiction. So, long story short, I won't be doing a half-assed job releasing mediocre chapters, and instead, I'll finish my other fiction, L, and then get back to this one in my fullest. Though I'm behind the attempting to attain perfection stage, I'll still be a quality of quantity type of author.
At the rate I'm going, at a rate of 1k words per day, I'll probably be done in two months or so. For those of you that are curious, L is basically a combination of dark humor, penis jokes, depression, and a slightly deranged MC. Just read the first chapter, I really can't give a summary without spoiling the fun of exploring the mystery of the world. Much like this one, the action is so low I hesitated to even add the "action tag." Fights don't happen for no reason, and there is no mindless grinding that though is sometimes fun to read, is not my style of writing. The joy is in the dialogue, in the characters, in the politics, and in the way skills are utilized. Give the first chapter a read, but beware that it is a story that happened to be LITRPG, rather than a LITRPG that happened to be a story.

So yeah, much like how I was writing this one. Anyway, it's just a fun write, and a probably a decent read. I'll be back here in a few months, so see you back here then.
P.S. Elins, if you're reading this, I'm sorry 
I really didn't deserve you, but I promise I'll craft at least a Rare scroll out of this one.
