Welp, here we are, and holy shit!
I've been writing this novel for a whole year now, though with massive hiccups and pauses all around but... Man do I love what we have accomplished so far. This novel was a punch to the face of all Isekai, yet it still remains relevant despite all the mistakes I made along the way.
A boring slow start.
A boring slow introduction.
A counterintuitive and massively dystopian plot.
A completely retarded writer.
And above all, a piece of shit human being as an MC in a novel that was not blatant xianxia killing.
God was this year fun for me.
Thank you all so much for staying by my side over this whole endeavor. V1 is almost ready for release, and will most likely be a Kindle Ultimate title, since organic growth has dwindled because of my own shortcomings and lack of updates. I am happy to say that despite it having been taking me thrice as long as planned, the rewriting, re-ordering and editing are coming along nicely. The story is the same, the events are the same, but everything was made better, all based on your comments and suggestions, especially on the POV changes, that were kept to a minimum.
Again, thank you all for coming along, I hope you like the story so far and consider taking a look on my Patreon, even if just for the $1 tier, and now, a small token of appreciation for you all: Pictures of Gloria and Mihara. Those are doodles that were gracefully done by @CielTheTem , a friend I hold very dearly. I personally find the drafts way more alive than the colored ones, how about you?
Yeah, the draft do feel more alive.
If I had to point to a possible reason: the draft feel more organic/alive with the thicker lines
Maybe a good middle ground would be a coloured draft ?
The coloured version feel a bit too clean and it feel like some details were lost.
It is the difference in line thickness, in the draft not all lines are equally thick while in the colored version they are. And shading that is much more clear in the draft. In the normal world we can only see shades.
Nice drawings!
