《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.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?

Take Two!
College student majoring in botany has a fateful encounter with truck-kun while trying to get back in shape after realizing that his freshman 15 turned into the sophomore 20, and then the junior 30. After going through a very amusing(to some) hell, he gets the chance to transmigrate into a body of his own design on a magical world. Playing to his strengths, he chose the Plantkin race, and the new name of Sorrel to match. This is a slow-paced, magical, slice-of-life story with a focus on relationships. There will be sex(I'll try to keep the explicit stuff to a minimum, but it will be there), swearing, really bad jokes, and enough food to spoil your diet. There will not be a lot of action, epic quests to save the world, or anything even remotely resembling a big-bad-evil-guy(a few smaller bad guys, sure. But, no BBEG). Note: This is a re-write of my first story "Congratulations, You're Dead!". And, is much more what I wish I had written in the first place. The characters and the world are very similar, with a few key differences. The story may borrow some elements from Congrats, but should be considered as its own work. Reading Congrats first is not needed, or even reccommended, not unless you want to see some really cringey romance in the early chapters.
