《Drunk Dungeon》Update
Advertisement
Okay, so first I want to get some things off my chest.
I used to read a bunch of different stories over my life, plenty of fantasy novels, some sci-fi, maybe a few historical fiction and history books. The point is I loved to read a lot.
And as I grew older I started to write stories of my own. My first several were either fanfics taking blatant shitty turns or were books that should be burned and forgotten about. Yeah, my writing wasn't great. But as the years went on I started to get better, I outlined plots in my mind. Got better at organizing story elements, and got a clearer and clearer idea of what I wanted to write.
So I made one story and bonked that one hard. The story was fine, but I mixed up elements from one genre to another and didn't specify how they were related. I also lore dumped way too much on my readers every chapter, trying to squeeze very small details into the story when less large or intricate things could've done it just fine.
The point is, that my early writing attempts were sorta flawed in one way or another.
But then I made a story I liked and I felt other people liked it as well. I sorta got the hang of a story that second posted time. And I then started getting a bit burned out, so I wrote this one to help me recharge from that fiction.
But this didn't recharge me. First I made chapters way too long, around four thousand words to be exact. And that was seriously bothersome to write about and had the potential to be unhealthy for me. It was only last chap did I really see how tiring it was.
Then there's the fact that this story isn't going where I want it. I wanted it to be military dungeon core. But the story didn't achieve really anything on both those fronts. The descriptions of fights were too quick, the details of somethings not pandering out how I imagined, it was really just a mess.

So here's my plan moving forward, I want to continue this fic in one form or another and I need your help to decide on how to do that.
I could A( Continue writing this fic like how I've been doing previously (this one is super unhealthy so I will probably skip it and choose the second-highest option) B( Rewrite this story and post the story separately in a different fic C( Delete all the chapters on the current story and replace it with the one's I either feel are good enough to stay in and don't mess with the new plot or finally D( Put this story on hold for now and focus on my other one till I finish it.
I really want your opinion on these options and which one you'd like me to pick. Hopefully, you have a nice day. Till next time, chow.

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’
