《Mythical Conquest》Fuck it! I'm Rewriting The Story!
Advertisement
Alright, from the title you should all guess what I'm about to say.
It's no secret that I've been unsatisfied with the way this story turned out for the last 3 or so arcs. For me, the story have been going down hill since Grim City arc ended.
It doesn't look like I'm the only one that thinks so because this story isn't as popular as before. I know, I've been keeping check for the last couple months.
In the past a chapter could easily receive 1000 views in a day, two max. But now it takes months to reach the same numbers. I don't know if a lot of people put off the story with the intention to binge it or they just dropped it. But it's a fact that the story is dying.
Because of that, I've been wonder for months now if I should continue or drop it. However, I've invested too much into this story to just drop it. So I asked myself, "Is there a way to revive the story?" And I immediately came to the answer.
There isn't. The story can not be revived. I know because I've read countless stories that started to decline, and tried to make a combat. 99% fail and crash and burn.
First of all, the story is too long and was too popular for it to revive now. You might wonder how that makes sense, but check it.
Popularity isn't always a good thing. Especially for literature. When a story is popular and is hyped up, people go in with high expectations and easily get disappointed by every flaw that find. Some even look for those flaws just to find a reason to dislike it and be different from the masses. I'm sure we've all done it before.

This story is a controversial story from the begin. You either like it or you hate it. There's no in between from what I can see. You can check the reviews to see what I mean.
Now before someone say I can't take criticism, I can. In fact, I'm my biggest critic. What I don't like are people who shit on story and not give any advice on how to make it better. Well, not that I really care as much about those people anymore. I've gotten immune to it.
Anyway, I'm rambling. So let's get to the point.
I'm rewriting the story for several reasons. The main reason is that I've written myself in a corner by continuously adding elements to the story.
I believe my biggest mistake is the fact that I didn't take this story seriously when it first started.
I don't know if any of you remember, I once stated that this story was a throw away story that I posted with the intention of testing to see how the people on this site are and how they react to my style of writing.
To this day, I don't know how the fuck it became so popular. I was like "dafuq?! What's wrong with these people?! Am I that good? My grammar is shit too!"
Strange world, strange world. Anyway, that was the beginning of the end.
I intend to rewrite this story, removing the stuff that I believe pushed me into a corner, and create what I believe to be a better story.
The setting will be the same and along with the characters, however, the events will be different most of the time with some overlap here and there.
First thing first, the whole reincarnation thing.....Yeah, fuck that. It was too hard to juggle really. TBH I didn't even know where I was going with that. I mean I knew, but at the same time didn't.

Second, the large scale mountain country destroying battles, that whole thing that everyone says remind them of DBZ......Yeah, fuck that too.
I mean, do you know how hard it is to top those battles every single time? I don't even know why I even made the battles so grand in the first place?
I must have matured in this year and a half or something. Well, I was only 20 or 21 when I started writing this so that might be the case. To be honest, actions scenes have become a pain in the ass for me in this story.
Another thing, why did I have to make the characters so hard to kill? Because of that, I can't kill them too easily or it just wouldn't fit the setting. I have to literally destroy them over and over before killing them.
........A real pain in the ass.
Well, fuck it. At least I've grown as a writer because of all the story flaws.
Another thing, you see the Class System.....Yeah, fuck it. I mean, it becomes pointless very quickly and just limits the things I can do.
Just like a great man have once said, "Power levels are bullshit!" It just fuck up the power scaling later down.
I'm keeping the proxy system though and center the story around it more often. The world itself won't really change like I said, just the events and the characters in some ways. There's a lot of proxies that I've already planned out but never made use of.
Also, this point in the story is the perfect point to stop, because if I went any further I would reveal some of the main components of the story. Since this arc was really where I had planned out for years in my head along with the characters.
By the way, the characters I showed in the future chapter, yeah I'm glad I didn't introduce them yet.
Well, except Mozart. Spoiler!
Not really, if you reread the chapter and come back to Mozart so far in the story you'll see that one of the characters was obviously him under a different name. I mean his intro was a dead give away. One person even mention it in the comments.
So.....Yeah, I'm going to rewrite the story instead of abandoning it. The thing is, I haven't started as yet. I'm still thinking it through.
Also, it will most like by under a new name since this one was made up the day posted it, so it has no emotional value to me. Also, there's too much negative reviews and comments.
I just wanna start fresh. But don't worry, I keep you guys posted.
Also, you can check my other story in the meantime.
Oh, if you have suggestions I'm all ears.

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!

The Saga of Geir Røshjert
"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this." This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place. He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people. But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me. Røshjert (My Submission for Royal Road's Writing Competition in June 2022)

'Rise of the Business [Class]' is a story about a world where humanity ended up fleeing through space, after suffering several great disasters at home. On arrival we crash-landed and were soon attacked by magic wielding civilizations who learned how to deal with our weaponry with a speed that belied their seemingly simplistic nature. We were lost.

Find out soon, as we are finishing up book 1 in the coming two weeks. Cheers for reading this far, have a biscuit!

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
