Hello everyone!
This is my first fiction ever, so please understand if it isn't top quality material.
I am Chinese so English is not my first language, you may find that grammar may be somewhat skewed at times.
Secondly the story will progress rather slowly, minimal action in the beginning with a focus on world building. Although things will pick up once out protagonist gets a few years under her belt.
Thirdly, this is a gender bender story, our protagonist will be female, and she will suffer everything that comes with it. As a fair warning, when meeting hot guys, she will describe them in detail. The same applies to cute girls, so everyone gets a piece of the pie. I'm just making sure nobody whines about having to read how cute "his eyes" were...
Lastly, this fiction has a mature tag, although that is mainly aimed at language used. There will be little sexual content/ecchi situations until I decide otherwise. Furthermore, there will be depictions of violence, blood and gore. So if that is not your cup of tea, then I'm sorry? I guess?
My aim in writing this story is to build upon my writing skills, more particularly on showing rather than telling.
Most of the chapter I post will be first drafts so they might be rewritten.
As a result, critiques are very much welcome.
Please point out any grammatical mistakes, plot holes, inconsistencies that you may find so I can improve the story.
My focus will be on building a world that is realistic as you can get in a fantasy world. As a result, whilst our protagonist will get op, it will be realistically op,
therefore no summoning meteors to smite thy enemies. Nor will she be going around at the age of 10 slaying Great serpents and dragons and legendary beasts. If she get stabbed in heart, there will be no critical hits or loss of hp, she will simply die and yes there will be dark moments.
As for gender issues of a guy turning into a girl, I will not deal with that crap, I will just say that my Mc is extremely pragmatic and welcomes the "fresh viewpoint" of a girl. ;D He also might been brainwashed. Hehe.
Prologue is not set in stone, I might revisit it in the future and do the time loop thing again but atm it is too much work. I much prefer the simple one I have now.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Chapter length will be around 3k to 4.5k words each.
(edit: changing length to around 1-2k each, it's easier for me to proofread and edit instead of monster 4k/5 page chapters.)
I have the plot planned out really nicely but nothing for the beginning so you'll have to forgive me extremely slow writing speed. Once I get 3 or 4 more chapters out, I should have reach the main plot line and begin spewing out chapters like I was drinking then someone made me laugh.
Also, action will not be strictly "action", she wont be fighting with swords or whatever simply because its impossible for anyone under the age to 10 to do so.
Anyways, I shall endeavor to write my best, Hope, You all enjoy the story!
#Rant, You may find this condescending /Offensive, i hope not ? :D
Do you guys even realise how heavy a medieval sword is? that shit is made of pig iron, and if no one has told you, pig iron, unlike stainless steel, is as heavy as FUCK. A 5 year old would not be able to lift it, let alone swing that crap. Seriously.
Also why do all MC's use swords? swords, unlike what you may think, were actually expensive and slightly uncommon weapons. A good sword requires a blacksmith to have decent skill in making weapons and most smiths in the past were focus upon making other stuff like cutlery instead of swords, after all, war doesn't last forever, so what would a smith forge then?
Secondly, it has to do with the economics of limited resources, a single sword uses enough iron/metal for approx, three good spearheads or around 5-7 metal rims for shields. I do not claim to be an expert on opportunity choice but when equipping an army its pretty obvious why swords weren't so favoured.
Tl:dr swords are overrated.
Thirdly, It really annoys me when fanfic authors use fire instead of loose when talking about archery. Firing is strictly used for firearm. you dont "fire" an arrow, which part of the process of firing an arrow utilizes combustion?
Ok my rant is over. probably will have more to rant about soon lol >.>
