《God of the Apocalyptic World》Poll - Overpowered vs Underpowered vs Everything
Advertisement
I have been getting a few comments asking about how the MC power will progress.
So I made this poll to try understand what you guys prefer. If there is a great majority in one of the choice, I might sway toward it.
And please, if I get anything wrong which I will. Please let me know. I want to see it from your perspective.
The way that I see it is
Underpowered = the MC loses more than he wins. Heck, he might just lose all the time.
Real life is already shit enough. I don’t want to read a story where the MC gets constantly shit on. (Though there are some stories that are too good to ignore.)
Overpowered = no tension, no challenge (I know I’m generalizing it but in a fair fight an OP hero should always win over the villain)
OP MC stories are really fun and can be done right. But they are really hard to write well. I think the best way to use OP MC is with comedy. (Ex. One Punch Man)
For me, I like reading stories with everything. This means the MC goes through phases of OPness, UPness and just right. Doing so in my opinion makes the story interesting and less predictable. Because I don’t know what to expect. The MC might lose, he might win or it might be a draw. But of course, it has to be logical.
This is the direction God of the Apocalyptic World is heading toward, but I might change it according to the majority. But no promises. Ultimately, I write for fun.
As for the chapter, it is coming out in the morning or afternoon. I need to finalize something.

Unstable World
No one believed that could happen. Back in 2014, the world was at peace. At least to some point. But the truth was different. One conflict changed into two and then the war came to be. There were to factors that could change the the scales of victory. One of them was technology and the other, the ability of Espers, humans with special abilities.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

Riftwalker
Legend speaks that a roaring force of insatiable abyss lies beneath the peaceful overworld. Named the Rift after its chasm-like entrances, this unexplored void has consumed the underneath for eons. What had seemed just a myth crawled out of unreality in the form of eldritch creatures. Reborn as something not entirely human, mankind rejected the boy. Thrown into the Rift by people who feared him, he had to live in a world run by monsters as a newborn. Surviving, however, wasn't his only difficulty as he soon had to decide whether he would save the people who banished him or simply idle as the Rift engulfed all life. As of chapter 9, Riftwalker is on a very small hiatus. I'm very busy with work atm :( Here are a couple of things to expect: Lots of action and exploration! Diverse and refreshing creatures; There are good and evil. Satisfying progression and coming of age. The protagonist stands out but isn't overpowered. There are some litRPG elements, but it's not a determinant factor. The fights are decided through one's combat skill and experience and not stat-checking. Oh, and some other info: There is a bit of gore, but nothing disturbing. Occasionally, there will be images of the scenery and landscape. Chapters will be around 1,5k to 2k words long, and the releases will probably be relatively slow, sorry.
