《Cutting Edge - A Progression LitRPG》Notes on Book 1 - Not a chapter (check the three previous chapters posted today)
Advertisement
If you've gotten this far, I'd really appreciate it, if you were to leave a review or rating.
Secondly, I'd appreciate it, if you were to use this comment section to lemme know what you thought of book one - besides my horrible posting frequency as well as grammar and spelling.
Thirdly - what's going to happen now? I'll be working over the majority of the summer and taking an evening course - so there is not much writing going to happen. I do plan on lining out book two and maybe three as well over the course of the summer.
Here comes the but. Cutting Edge will be going on an uncertain Hiatus for the foreseeable future due to several compounding issues.
I do want to edit the entirety of book one to fix grammar and spelling as well as to address some issues I've had with the story myself and some that were pointed out to me already and others that will almost certainly be pointed out to me.
Uni is going to be really busy next semester - because I need to retake a pretty big course in addition to my other uni obligations.
There are also a bunch of other projects I want to work on. Some of you might know that I used to write "Accidentally Smithing" which I in many ways like more than Cutting Edge - mostly because it was my first story - and that will be rewritten eventually but also a bunch of other writing-related things I'm writing on that may or may not appear on RR in the future.
I find that I myself don't entirely enjoy writing the web novel format. Especially the regularity of uploads is just not something I can compete with - I enjoy procrastination too much. That leaves me with three options I'm comfortable with. First to post a batch of chapters whenever I'm happy with them. Second post an arc whenever I'm happy with it. Lastly, post the entirety of a book when I think it's done.

If you have any thoughts or preferences in regards to the previous point feel free to point them out in the comments.
That being said, I've already written the epilogue to book 1, the prologue to book 2, and 5 chapters in book 2. If I decided to go with the first option and don't procrastinate editing for too long I might even get out the next batch of chapters in the fall.
Let me note down a few things I feel that could have gone better and if you agree with any of those, let me know.
Rework the pre-titles part. A lot of people didn't seem to like it and I want to make it more pleasant to read, as well as add more understanding of the trait-system into it. I want to up the interactions between Kent and Alexus a bit more, make them feel more meaningful - allow Kent to actually become friends with Alexus. Improve the alternate PoV chapters I've written. Especially the redacted chapters. Adjust terminology and make it even across the entire story. Make word choices feel more authentic and immersive. I don't have my notes with me here. But I do know that there are at least two more entries.

Sword of Ending
Ollowyn’s Life began unlike any other. Born with snow-white hair, he was brought into the woods to die according to age old traditions. Left to the will of the gods, the helpless child waited for his death. However, the gods showed mercy. A young wolf cub, lost and cut off from its mother, stumbled over the young Ollowyn. Half frozen to death and dead tired, it snuggled to the warm body. When it was found by the mother just hours later, Ollowyn already smelled like one of her own. Adopted and cared for he grew up among wolves. He learned to live after the rules of the pack, continuously fighting to survive. As the years went by, he grew stronger than his brothers and sisters, hunted with different means. But even though he loved and adored his family, he noticed more and more that he was different. No fur, no claws and as much as he tried, his teeth would never find prey by themselves. What made him different? The urge to find answers grew with every day, until he set out aged seven to find them. But after days of searching hunger and exhaustion brought him to his knees as he collapsed on a dusty road. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- German Version can be found on RR as well. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/19996/sword-of-ending-german. But it isn't written as well and only serves as my own template for chapters.

A Tale of the Ages: Gods, Monster, and Heros
The past get's forgotten. Or so they say. Maybe they're right. Even the gods forgot the beginning, the reason it all started. But I refuse to forget, even if I'm driven mad by the memory. Salvation? It's pointless. No one is worth saving, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth helping. No one is a plaything, but everyone's a pawn in this game. I hate it. Who's playing? I don't know. I don't even know what the game really is. I gave up on figuring that out after a time. What I do know is that I want to tell you all a story. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end, as any good story should. But, I really don't think you'd keep listening if I told it in order. So, we will start at three points; you'll have to figure out where they are in the overall story. The story of Hal and instinct, a pair so close that they might as well have been one. The story of The Husk, a creature on a hunt that would span generations. The story of Mask and a hero. How one will come to learn of the other's past and the many faces they had. Do you know where you stand? Do you side with the gods, the hero, the demon king, the experiment, the cursed, the blessed, the monsters, the forgotten? Well? I know. You don't know anything yet, so you can't say. So, enter our world, and find out what side is what.

The book of forever
An experimental diary of sorts recounting my life and experiences, written as a slightly whimsical scifi story about setting off from the past to unknown lands, rebuilding from nothing and finding myself again. The first section of the book contains matched chapters, a chapter for a interlude, both happening at the same time roughly The second section of the book contains more one off stories as we follow one of the travelers explore their heart as well as a unknown land, growing in the process. All of the text here was written in 10 syllable chunks, this reads like a epic of sorts, just with more philosophical focus and POV jumps. Hope you enjoy! >Updates may be sporadic as I only write when I have something about myself I want to share The chapters can all be read individually, although there may be some crossovers between them they work as single poems. You start at whatever chapter you want since these are a collection of roughly connected poems (although you'll notice tie ins and references to eachother)
