《Fighting Back The Tide》Clearing Things Up
Advertisement
Ok so I am incredibly ticked off right about now so I am going to post this to clear things up. Someone and yes I mean you Cruxio and others has been making snarky comments about how this is a rip off and how things aren't explained blah blah.
Firstly this is not a rip off of anyone and I know it starts similar to Change: New World but it diverges relatively quickly. I wrote this story well over a year ago on my PC which I then caught a virus which caused my PC to have a melt down. I ended up without a job so I had to put everything I could save aside for a year to buy a new one which naturally put my story writing back quite a bit.
Secondly I have had to butcher my story as there are things that happened in Change: New world that I wanted to incorporate into my story like dissecting enemies and capturing them alive to experiment on to find weaknesses but had to drop because everyone would say I was copying even though it makes sense to experiment and learn new things about things you have no knowledge of in order to increase the chance of survival. The story is relatively fast paced so I can get through the training dungeon which they are in and surpass where SlimeLv1 is. Once that is done then what I write from then on will not be considered copying and I can at my leisure go back and rewrite and add more detail.
Thirdly it has been written that I haven't explained about the stats and skills etc but if people had read what I have written then you will see that the MC does explain the stats and all of the skills have descriptions that go with them so not sure where that comes from. Also I haven't forgot about any skills that I have given the Mc or others even if they haven't been implemented yet that is because I haven't wanted to use them yet.

Fourthly several people have asked me how can my character be able to kill monsters at much higher level then him and it is relatively simple. Level is what gives you stats and boosts you overall but if someone swings a sword and cuts your head open then you are going to die. Level is a guide and to show an increase in power my real world physics still apply they have just added magic into the equation and altered a few things.
Fifthly People say that my battles are too fast and that is true. I hate reading novels where it takes them five paragraphs to explain one move and drag the battle on. Especially when combat is generally brutal and quick and over in a few moves.
Sixthly and last but not least grammar. I have repeatedly stated that this is my first time writing and sharing a book with people and am looking for constructive input. I generally use the automatic error checking that comes up when I write something and I know that sometimes I use American and sometimes I use English spellings. It is also true I need to use better punctuation and commas and the like. This isn't a masterpiece like Shakespeare but an amateur writer trying to share a story with others and hoping they will also enjoy it like I do. I am doing this to gain experience and once I have done so I will probably at some point rewrite everything so it reads better and is much more detailed.
As I have said if you don't like it then I am sorry for that but nobody is perfect and nothing can please everyone. If my story isn't to anyone's taste then don't read it instead of writing derogatory comments on all the chapters. If you do like the story then please rate it and even if you don't then please rate it fairly unlike some have. My story isn't a masterpiece and it is a work in progress but to rate it as half a star is insulting and not a very amusing joke when I compare it to others on this site. I am always looking for new ideas and ways to improve both my writing and the story. If you have anything that might help then great, let me hear them and I am willing to listen to constructive criticism if however you just want to insult people then take a hike as I don't have the time to waste on those types of people.

I am going to do a few more chapters and at least resolve the bully part and possibly press on and finish the training dungeon itself. Once that is done I will see how things are and how I feel about continuing. I have read some nice comments and a lot of people seem to like what I have written and I am thankful for that but it is the trolls and parasites that bring me down.

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.
