《Dark Lord For Dummies?》A tl;dr shitty tear-jerking notice
Advertisement
Ooookay, where should I start... I know! Let's start with this one sentence of truth: This web serial is shit, absolute garbage, an abysmal poor excuse of a novel that sucks everything on a hardcore level.
Okay that's an exaggeration. In RRL standards, it's average if not above. While that's well and all, and believe me I loved the support, enthusiasm, and well-done criticism everyone gave me and this story, it just feels like something is missing.
I started this shit with no clear plan in mind, a ‘the wind will take me somewhere’ kind of start. It had been fun, at the very least, just scribbling with reckless abandon then throwing it out the middle of the road (which is shit attitude in real life, by the way).
But I feel like this, this story, is something good. No, scratch that, ‘great’, in my opinion, but I lack the skills to tell the story well. And that amounts to nothing at all. I feel like it would be a waste to tell this story in this level of execution (which is, 1 to 10, I would rate myself 3) and that you, my readers, deserve more than these abysmal first draft chapters.
All that soppy drama said, I'm closing the curtains.
No, no, I'm far from dropping it. I won't drop it, on the contrary, I will work harder for it, but you just won't see them for a while. A complete rewrite, yes, because I'm not satisfied on my work. The story deserves more quality, and you good sons of bitches do, too.
I'll be working on fixing things like the magic system which had been so overwhelmingly complicated that everyone's heads are already spinning. And also a myriad of other issues.

So exactly how it sounds like, I won't be updating for a while. I don't know how long it will take (somewhere around 3 months to a whole year, all depends on my speed and skill). That said, I'm open to beta readers, who I can contact in private, and feed crappy vomit cereals along the way.
Now why would anyone want that? I guess I'll give those who participate a little something... Like a character named to them, yes. Anyone who wants to be a beta reader can, you know, shout in the comments (I'll be reading them with great vigor) or give me a private message. I will add you as a buddy and send chapter drafts as pm's.
A character named Azuriq or Dragrath should be nice (Yes, I'm looking at you guys). Please join the dark side. I won't stop checking comments and replying, and am always open to suggestions, criticism, words of encouragement, roasting and what-have-you.
With that all said, this tl;dr crappy notice shall now end. I'll see you guys next millennium.

Dreamers of Eternity - A Xuanhuan Webnovel

But he, alone, does. [Participating in the Writeathon] Average Length: 1.5 - 2.5k Words Disclaimer: MC will not cultivate at an absurd speed. It'll end up being Wuxia-esque for at least a hundred chapters before it turns into Xianxia / Xuanhuan. The end goal is immortality but it doesn't mean he has to get there quickly. The MC won't have any real plot armor or cheats that let him win effortlessly. Expect him to get thrown around or just barely win frequently. Yes, this is not a Wish Fulfillment / Power Fantasy so if you're looking for a story like that, this might not be your cup of tea.

In the center of Asher's most treacherous waters lies the island nation of Xykesh. Hundreds of years ago, the tyrant Digax fled to it as a refuge after his defeat.

Though the Mad King himself is a distant figure, his Chosen rule with unquestioned power over their subjects. But their hold is not absolute. On the day Digax claimed Xykesh as his, a blind prophet foretold that an outsider from beyond the island's shores would come, and they would end his reign.

Many outsiders have arrived on Xykesh, either by accident, or in search of the truth behind the mysteries and myths that have sprung up around the island. The populace has been long conditioned to distrust these new arrivals, but so far, none have proven to be the ones the prophet spoke of. At least, just maybe, until now. Four parts per episode.

Isekai trash story
You know why you clicked on a story with this title #anime is trash and so am I The main character dies of a heart attack and awakens in another world, alone and in a cave with the body of a newborn baby. However he also has increased mind based stats due to his memories, so expect a somewhat op start, but no where near all powerful for the world. There is no real plot, the main character is just trying to figure out what he can before something that already knows what it is doing manages to kill him first. I am not a writer full time and hiatuses could be short or very long depending on irl work and stuff. All content warnings are displayed because I may or may not decide to add them in later, the harem/sexual content will be much further in the story than what is there atm.
