Breach of privacy is a very sensitive subject and is punishable under court of law. Well, I'm a lawyer and crimes inspire my mind in the best of ways. Cyber bullying just happened to be one of those subjects I always wanted to explore as a writer.
The character build up and the structure. I had to make sure that I was writing something believable and relatable. I'm a realist writer and I always plan on bringing stories on survivors to the table.
I enjoyed living vicariously through the story, after a moment, the characters and the plot seemed so vividly real to me, I was lost in that world. Besides, I personally love exploring darker themes, they help me understand people and grow as an individual.
It's absolutely unbelievable but I've not had a single person come out to tell me point blank that my story isn't good enough. It's surprising yet deeply satisfying. I always seek criticism to sharpen my edges and I'm still looking out for my readers to help me serve them better. The response has been totally amazing and I'm beyond grateful for that.

Quite frankly, I'm not sure about it. I tend to think of it as a stand alone novel but who knows? It will probably depend on my mood. Sometimes I do tend to take decisions in a whim and decide to continue a book.

A lot of messages actually, issues like cyber crimes, breach of trust, bullying and basic legal procedures. I'd like my readers to take the message that whatever doesn't kill you, certainly makes you stronger. Life can fall apart like a house of cards but you will stand right back up and roar like the lion that you are--there's just no other choice.

My advice would be to focus on the rather more technical aspects of the writing. Sure you have a brilliant idea and you have so much to tell, but what's a book without good adverbs? You don't want your editor scowling at you when they read your script. It's not pretty.
A few of them yes, I particularly relate to one of the protagonists named Ella, she is smart, broken yet downright rational. I think she got those traits from me.
?
The fact that my story is based on a gossip column that exposes all the secrets and deceptions. I believe it will draw more readers in. Who doesn't like a good mystery thriller that's easy to read? Plus, don't forget the romance. There aren't many things my readers won't relate to except the obvious aspects such as the murders.
I do, yes. I absolutely revel in the joy of weaving intricate stories but I'm still working on updating #Exposed so, I'll keep my future project as a secret for now.

The Children of the Divine Limit
A realistic, psychological isekai: What pushes people to rejoice, to torture, to sacrifice, to kill? What gives some the will to survive and thrive in a new land and others the craving for dominance and exploitation? What would those who grew up without power all their lives do when given the approval and blessings of God Himself? How far will someone go to protect those close to them? How far will someone go to exact vengeance against an unjust world? How far can someone go before the abyss looks back at them? "Everything in the world is about sex — except sex. Sex is about power." - Oscar Wilde “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” - Abraham Lincoln Greed is the worst of all the deadly sins; all of human history lays out the evidence to support this thesis. Consider all of the above before reading this story: A 12th-grade high school class is sent to another world; a world of sword and magic called Omicron where other-worlders are revered as heroes given the divine blessing of the Lord God Sapiora, creator of Omicron's human race. It is currently a world at war. The humans of Omicron need these divine heroes as weapons against the Demon Emperor and the demihuman forces of the evil god Azazelin. However, two students within the class, Ajax Leonid and Shaula Seikennith, haven't been given the hero's blessing. They've been given something else, something more curious; the blood of a deity who noticed their specialness. As a result, after escaping the clutches of their summoners who tried to kill them for their lack of heroic potential, Ajax and Shaula enter the new world of Omicron with no one on their side except each other. While wading through rivers of blood, Ajax and Shaula seek a stable life, a life where they can salvage happiness. They have each other above all else. Perhaps the cost will be worth it. Perhaps not.

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art? Made by a friend who shall remain nameless at this time by his request
