《Warden of Success - A LitRPG》Postface

TLDR: I'm rewriting Warden of Success. You can find it at https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/58903/warden-of-success-a-soft-litrpg-rewrite
Long Version Below.
You may be wondering as to why this particular brand of Royalroad author suddenly decided to drop their story and seemingly give up on the prospect of continuing it further. If that may be the case, then I would quite confidently say you are wrong. Because I, as a matter of fact, have actually not given up on the story! Well, yes and no, the actual situation is a bit more complex. Basically, I was very dissatisfied with my story. I thought it was pretty bad, as in the story points characterization and prose alike were quite well, terrible at a lot of instances.
Consequently, I have decided to rewrite Warden of Success. The difference being that it should be better work overall. One thing that I really wanted to hit on the point in my rewrite was the characterization. Originally, I seemed to have failed to deliver, as compounded by both poor writing and an initial desire for me to write Warden of Success as a satire, thereby invalidating any genuine character development to just include senseless violence. Of course, I swerved halfway through and actually took it seriously, though, by that point, I supposed it was too late.
Hence why the rewrite will be a mostly first-person POV, with maybe the ocassional perspective of someone else. This way, I'm hoping to include much more characterization of Camille and the way she views the world around her. With this, I also hope to develop worldbuilding, amongst other things.
That's all there is to it, really. I considered writing more for the original, but I wasn't sure if there would be any traction for it, so unless there suddenly appears to be, I've decided to work solely on the rewrite.
Thank you very much for reading.

Adelaide
The entries here are transcribed from the log of Marie Ruiz, first mate of the Adelaide. It was definitely, definitely not published without her permission or knowledge by a certain lovable artificial intelligence for the purpose of sharing it with my AI friends on other ships who follow it like a soap opera. No way, no how. Remember guys, don’t go spreading this around too much. Only pass it on to those you can trust. God forbid this should ever end up on a public network… (Adelaide is a science fiction web serial featuring the adventures of a crew of smugglers. In space. It’s on the softer end of the soft/hard sci-fi spectrum because the author got a C in physics. Updates every other Sunday.)

Warmage: A Progression Fantasy
As the daughter of a renowned War Hero, Shaya was destined for a life of heroism and glory. A life she desired more than anything else – until her mother sacrificed herself for the cause and the very Empire she died for stole Shaya’s dreams from her. Cunning and resourceful, Shaya worked hard to keep her and her brother safe, clawing themselves out of a system set against them and gaining the power they needed to find their way in life again. Now, she’s achieved the first step of her dreams: she's been accepted to the prestigious Imperial Academy of War and Magic. In order to become the best gods damned Warmage around, all she has to do is overcome the Imperial system that wants to see her fail and control the demonic blood in her veins that wants for nothing but rage and violence. ...but hey, every obstacle is an opportunity to exploit – if you’re willing to think smart and work hard. Updates Sunday - Tuesday - Thursday![successful participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Rating: This should align pretty closely with your typical MCU movie, so PG-13 for scenes of fantasy violence. There'll be gore and some swearing but not much beyond that. If that changes, I'll warn you. MC: Shaya is analytical, but begins the story emotional and impulsive. She leans towards rationality and uses this to control her demonic impulses to the best of her abilities. She begins the story as a somewhat capable protagonist, but grows in power steadily through hard work and diligence. Fights: ...I like fight scenes. They’re going to be detailed, but I won’t drown you in description of individual hand movements or footwork. I like fights that can be solved like puzzles by the audience, where creative thinking wins the day using tools you know the protagonist has at their disposal.
