A Poll and Editing

Heya,

first, thanks for following the story so far. I might repeat myself, but I'm doing this only for fun, and just seeing that people actually seem to read the stuff I come up with adds to this.

The poll I will be adding to this post is mostly to get a better feeling for what others might like and I won't promise to stick to the results. Please vote anyway.

At the end of the post you find more details on what I thought when deciding on the poll's options.

The second part is on the topic of editing the chapters I have released so far.

I have written it down as I thought it up and released nearly all of the chapters without spending much checking for errors. That means there are a lot of typos, missing words, repeated phrases and the like. Basically a cringe-fest.

Over the next few days I will go through the chapters and try to get rid of most of those avoidable things. I might change a few paragraphs, but names, people, events and such things will stay the same. There won't be a need to go back and re-read it once I'm done. Just don't expect a lot of new content over the next few days.

Option A: You want more details! Long monologues, more information regarding the skills, a detailed character sheet every second chapter, even if nothing much has changed. The combat log should be even longer and you want a detailed description of every fight against every snake.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Option B: The boring option. You are fine with the progression speed so far. You can expect a bit more details regarding the locations though.

Option C: You are OK with slow progression, but a bit more stuff happening would be good. More dialogues could be summed up in short paragraphs just giving the important content. Locations can be briefly described and it would be better to wrap up fights without telling how the MC defeated each enemy.

Option D: You just want a montage. (random examples coming up, not spoilers: ) A year of studying at the magic academy in two chapters? More than enough! Building an impregnable settlement from scratch in a few sentences? Yes! Meeting new companions every other chapter and moving on without any tedious backstory? Just naming them "Cleric A" and "Fallen Knight B" would be OK with you!

Option E: more of a joke option, but feel free to choose it.

Well, thats about it. As always, feel free to just reply to the threat with your thoughts or send me a message.
