《Building Home》Question for this book
Advertisement
I'd like to thank you all for coming along on this journey with me. I started writing this book because there are not enough Sci-Fi stories in the genre out there. Then I realized that I was doing too much out of game. Book 2 will be more in game, and thre... well, I need to figure that one out as I am doing this all.
This is the first thing i have written in God knows how long. Definitely the first thing I have written in over a decade that isn't shit poetry.
With me hving finished the First book of this series (I'm planning between three and five in total), how would you like me to proceed with the re-writes?
I have seen some authors post the revisions for the chapters after the original drafts, and that appeals to me because there is a draft history there. But...
If I was to just do that then I that would make this book appear a lot longer than it actually is. As my current manuscript stands I am at abou 92k words. Not bad for something I started to write because I was bored.
So my other option is to edit out the existing chapters. If I do that then we would end up with reposts of the chapters having them be completed removed and rewritten.
That appeals to me because then the "length" stays accurate to the work I am doing. Still 40 chapters instead of appearing as 80 chapters.
As you can see, that is a lovely decision to make.
First, I need to get all my punctuation squared away. Then I need to get the wrong words corrected due to fast typing (how many times did I type "thing" instead of "think" for instace?)
Last I need to just clean the crap out of chapter 1 and 2. Maybe some more on 3-15 as well. ugh. So much work for a damned hobby.

I am also planning on, with my next draft, adding a "who's who" of the characters. I already noticed that I changed some peoples names around in the same chapter (oops) because I didn't remember naming them.
As for the other thing, the tables. I am going to go with the blue boxes in my edit that I will be posting. I will be doing this for scaling sake for the mobile users. When necessary I will change the color of the boxes (there's only going to be one or two times when necessary), so finding the right colors to use is paramount.
I also need to come up with a better name than "dragons" for the psychic bastards.

First Contact
Eight Thousand Years after the Glassing of Earth, Terran Descent Humanity has largely become a post-scarcity society based on consent and enjoying life. With the discovery of another ancient race beyond the "Great Gulf", events and history collide to draw the Terran Confederacy into war against an hundred million year old empire that has always won and believes it always will. With allies and enemies of multiple species, the Orion Galactic Arm Spur will be wracked by warfare the likes of which have not been seen. Cracked, harried, wounded, and damaged, Terran Descent Humanity willfully throws itself against the universe itself. "The universe hates you and will take away everything you love, laughing while it does so." - Terran belief. Told largely from the viewpoint of other species, the story is currently ongoing. It involves graphic depictions of violence, war, adult language and situations, drug use, and other mature topics. The story will be updated on weekdays, so keep an eye on this page for more chapters. The story is 400+ chapters, and repeating characters do not start appearing until the Vuxten chapters. If you're in a hurry for repeating characters then this story will not be enjoyable to you. The interwoven plot is not based on a single person but the entire war, with its effects upon multiple people. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Steps of the Immortal Tree
Evan stood on a hill, staring calmly at the gate of his former clan. A crowd waited behind him, some eyeing the clan in an unresigned manner, others looking at their spiritual support. Some of the young children shivered at the gnawing cold. Wind howled in his ears, seemingly deploring his fate. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains surrounding the compound. The roar of a river could be heard from underneath its frozen surface. He had reincarnated many years ago. Hailed as a prodigy from his youngest age, Evan had seemingly tread on a path to invincibility. He had gotten married with his childhood sweetheart and had cultivated with a group of friends, forming a considerable power of his own. Yet now, here he was, devoid of any path to move forward, with his energy locus destroyed. His wife was dead and his branch had been kicked out of the clan. He looked at his progeny that had been entrusted to him. The baby seemed content in his father’s strong arms, too young to understand anything but the warmth of the father’s beating heart. Signaling to the people behind him, he turned around and the procession gradually disappeared in the distance, as the sun gradually set and the stars acted as a guide. --- Author-san here. I originally started this novel on another account, but lost the login information for it, so I'll be restarting this story here. Thanks for understanding! This is my first fiction, so I appreciate any and all feedback! (^^) The cover picture is by Yuji Himukai (as pointed out by Truis). I found it on the internet. Please contact me if you want to have it taken down. If anyone is interested in drawing a cover, send it to me. I'll put it up if I feel it represents the book well, with your name in the credits.
