《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.

Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.

There are many tales of an ordinary person travelling into a 'fantasy world' and getting cheat abilities and saving the world from a demon king & collecting women like they were trading cards while bumbling comedically around.This is not one of those tales. This is what happens when the reverse happens, when an extraordinary person travels into the 'mundane world' as revenge for a life times work ruined by some highschooler.Read what happens when the Lich Lord, the undead mastermind behind the Demon King travels to Earth for payback. *******Cover art does not belong to me, stock photo for a necromancer, think it looks okay, slight modification made to original text.
