《The Age After》Introduction
Advertisement
The Age After is the third point of view novel about the heroine, Alice, and the world after the mysterious system activation. Post-Apocalypsis and yet not close enough. Slowly coming Apocalypsis?
For Alice, the novel starts with a dungeon crawler act. During it, I am going to slowly introduce the world changes through interludes. The Age After has 'action' as its main genre. I shall state it clearly: not shoujo, a slice of life, relationships, or a palace intrigue here, although it possibly contains such moments together with lots of world and character building.
It's all about monsters invading, monster-doing-monster-things and monster hunting with cool girl heroine instead of cool guy hero. That is it. I am naturally striving for a good plot behind, the judges would be you. No sudden OP elements. I also feature competent, useful side characters for both story and battles.
The Age After is rather slow-paced. It's not a comedy novel, I am trying to make it as realistic as I can... minding the tags and the fact that I want to focus on action scenes without the MC dying. Realistic =/= dark all the time though. The Age After is dark when it needs to be, it's just not the goal itself.
Anyway. The novel uses popular RPG elements - attributes, exp, skills, etc. I have been thinking about mechanic details for quite some time. What is different (or not, I just hope and want to highlight):
– Numbers do matter when I use them. That is why no HP or MP system here, they are way more arbitrary in text than I want them to be.
– Clear level up system, since numbers do matter.
– Clear exp/reward system.
– Traces of cultivation tag are indeed included in the box!
What else? Basically, my novel is R-18 without explicit sex scenes (at least until I learn how to write them).

Gore: well, it is Apocalypsys with monsters... I won't shrink away from showing unhealthy scenes.
Profanity: on a moderate level normally. Variations of the F-word, insults, swearing.
Traumatizing content (the most important): I plan some sexism, racism, speciesism... Suffering from various -isms characters won't be punished just for their existence. Some of them are even 'good' guys. I've warned you.
Release schedule: As fast as I am ready.
Chapter's length: 1,200-1,500 words for the main story hopefully growing larger. Various for interludes and side-stories.

Humans just didn't know how to do it, didn't know how to nuture that small spark in them. Now you do." - Prime Magus of Earth, Alexander Sorin. November 2021 Update: So, it has been four years since I stopped working on this. Reading back, the first "book" is finished. It has what feels like an ending to an arc. Now it isn't a perfect story but I still like it and I can see myself starting the second book, might even this on Amazon or something. My biggest regret was never coming up with artwork for the cover though. Maybe I'll look into it.
