《The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong》New Series is Up! Reborn in Another World as a (Colorless) Demon Prince
Advertisement
Well, I've been gone for almost a year now. I wish I could say I was writing all that time but I wasn't. I was mostly just doing everyday things but even then I managed to complie a good number of chapters. Getting back into the swing of things was a bit hard but I did it.
So, if you haven't seen it yet, I just released a new series! The upload schedule will probably be one a week but for about the next five or so days, I'll be dropping 2-3 chapters.

If there are any questions feel free to comment and I'll reply if I can answer.
As for why I don't just stop there, well, I need to hit the 500 word count to post this. On the status of this series, I've been floating around some ideas of how I would rewrite it. I'm not the kind of person to get rid of everything and start from scratch. I like to believe that I knew what I was doing but that's not really true.
There's no doubt that the start of this series was a bit rough and even the middle and later parts as well. I will probably change just about every scene using maybe only the skeleton of what's already there. So the good news is that for anyone who read a lot of it already, you'll be seeing similar or the same events but they'll be told differently and with more context surrounding the world and the characters.
Just taking time off not thinking about the series has helped me develop a lot more ideas and ways I could make everything more coherent. Another good thing is that the rewrite of the series will be faster too. This doesn't mean I will rush through events but that I'll plan things better so that it doesn't feel slow.

Reading through the old reviews was a lot of fun even though I've read all of them before. It really gave me the motivation to work on my new series and think up more things I could do with this one.
If anyone is still reading this far then thanks, you're awesome! I'm just kind of out of things to say now.
Uh, even though I said I want to make the story pace feel better, the new one might be a little slow at some parts. Chapters 4-6 especially I think. If that's not the case, let me know when they're out or when you've read them.
And in case someone's reading the new series and thinks that Kieran has little to no driving goal, well, don't worry he's made to be like that. Things will change I promise. Act 1 is probably going to be anywhere from 40-60 chapters long, though that doesn't mean there won't be exciting events. I wrote one that had me too high on emotions to sleep not too long ago.
I can't wait to get to Act 2 because that's when things really start opening up. Thanks for reading. I've hit the 500+ mark.

Obligate of a Self-Ordained Sorcerer
Come join the Discord! It was a typical late-night friday for Mara, secluded in her apartment in front of a digital expanse, relentlessly mashing code into a keyboard. An introverted workaholic, but this was what she wanted - what she had strived so hard to achieve. So why did she feel so lost? Her life was productive, comfortable, satisfying. Plenty had it worse but she still felt... ungrateful? Stunted? The right word escaped her, but she could feel the general revelation settling upon her. With it came a choice that would set events in motion far beyond the meager scope of a 'New Game+'. So taking an intrusive portal to god-knows-where, Mara will come to find that her new world offers boons and banes with equal abandon. Magic, skills, and unforgiving difficulty. For a frail human shut-in, finding herself stranded in the middle of a sprawling dungeon was one of the least desirable outcomes. Food and water would be the least of her problems, why oh why couldn't she just get summoned by some pervy king to slay a demon army or something? This is a story of magic and adventure with skills and stats galore. A litrpg / isekai epic that I've been inspired to make after years of wonderful works like "So I'm a Spider," "Rimuru the Slime," "Azarinth Healer," "Negima!?," and plethora of other isekai and fantasy novels and animes. Special shout-out to Douglas Adams, a big influence on narative humor that's had a non-insignificant effect on my writing style. I hope you enjoy joining Mara on her journey as I attempt to scratch the itch they left behind.Chapters target 3-6k~ words. Though I'm personally aiming for a chapter every couple weeks, I think I can at least promise one a month with how busy work's been. I made a Patreon due to requests, if you'd like to support me there I'll be using it to fund artwork and RR ads for increased exposure.

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.
