《Isekai Harem Trope(WIP)》Game terminology
Advertisement
Basic game mechanics: The game was separated into two parts, civil and delving. Both directly influenced one another, and the point of the game was to find a balance between the two.
Civil: This was essentially the management portion of the game. This is where you did the non-combat things like buying items, managing character mood, and health, increasing relationships, etc.
Delving: This was the combat portion which was a tactical turn-based grid system. The characters (a maximum of six) were placed randomly or predetermined based on the event. It had a win condition and lose condition that was stated in the beginning, also death was permanent.
Party: In the game, there were two levels to the party. The main party which was the controllable male characters. The sub party or harem was for each male unit which was the female units that they essentially had “equipped”.
Male unit: The characters that the player-controlled along with mc (also a male).
Female unit: These were the main “equipment” in the game. How many ones could have been based on the charisma stat? Once they were “equipped” they were permanent so a player had to be careful because they are always auto leveled and always followed a preset path based on starting class, traits, and skills.
The progression systems: There were five: Class level, Overall level, skills, basic stats, and passives.
Overall level: Up to a maximum of 25. Everyone starts at level 1 and every time someone gains a level in any class it is added to their overall level so the maximum level is essentially the limiter.
Class level: They are what you level up to gain stats and skills. Everyone starts with a class from birth which usually decides what they will do in life. Classes are divided into 4 levels: Innate (the ones you get from birth), beginner, intermediate, advanced, and master. The amount and quality of stats and skills you get vary from class to class but it goes from beginner to master in terms of both with the innate rivaling master. New and better classes open up based on what classes and skills you already have. Each class can level up 5 times other than the hero classes which can level up 10 times.

Skills: Skills come in 2 varieties civil and combat, you can learn only so many all in all. The source of skills is three: Class leveling, certain events, and certain items with the latter two being rather random most of the time. Civil skills are useless in combat and vice versa. Taking civil classes is good for the civil portion but makes the character weaker in combat. Using skills is also a way to level up as using them gives exp.
Basic stats: There are 7 basic stats whose starting range is between 8 and 20
Vitality Decides heath, hp, and stamina regen, certain events need this
Strength: melee weapon damage, physical defense, and carry capacity, certain events need this
Dexterity: hit rate, dodge rate, certain events need this
Intelligence: magic damage, max mana, exp gained from skills, certain events need this
Charisma: Group size, party mood decay, female action rate, the chance of a female encounter, certain events need this
Wisdom: mana regens, magical defense, combat exp gained, certain events need this
Luck: chance of finding items, all events need this
Passives: usually gained from getting a new class or getting it to its maximum level. They make the backbone of the game and have the most overall impact as they all have unique effects along with an increase % in chance/amount.
Traits: A civil thing that governs likes and dislikes as well as behavior. Some, however, have massive game-changing effects. The most well-known one is possessive which gives a massive 500% buff to a female unit but only if they are the only member of the harem when delving but the downsides are many.
Mood: Essentially a happiness meter that gives buffs or debuffs based on high or low they are. It is governed by three things:
Heat (female only): the lower the better. Too high the female rapes the male of the harem causing loss of health as well as a debuff.

Hunger: self-explanatory
Rest: self-explanatory
Sanitation: self-explanatory
Anxiety: raises steadily based on the number of members in a harem. Doing activities, the characters enjoy based on their traits reduces it.
Devotion: Along with mood decide how if your harem acts in any given term. It decays if you do not constantly raise but if you max it the value gets locked at maximum and you gain access to devotion skills.
Devotion skills: These are like ultimates and only females gain one per class they go to max level to. These skills can be used once a day each and the only reason the attractive class is still considered the best generic class.
Bonded units: New term that was not in the original game. These units do not take harem slots or level up, instead they directly scale with you and gives you a new class which can also be considered their class.
Seed: As a sex game, this games goes a bit trying to justify why sex is so prevalent than the solution make sperm addictive but very beneficial, The addiction is also targeted towards the person whose sperm you ingest because sex logic which is the main premise of the game.

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated. The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx. This novel is a participant in The Writer's Pledge

Death Cultivator (Cultivator in Another World Vol. I & II)
Fight for your Soul. New cultivator Grady Hake thought his problems would disappear when he became a member of the strongest gang on the prison planet, but all it did was thrust him into the kill-or-be-killed world of the Eight-Legged Dragons. Now if he wants to survive, he’ll have to learn to cloak his deadly Spirit attacks in shadow, control the ancient revenant trying to take over his mind, and defeat the Angel of Death who dropped him on Van Diemann in the first place. Death Cultivator is sci-fi / isekai / wuxia / western / whatever, sort of like Borderlands meets Hunter x Hunter. I wanted to write something entertaining and actiony with that shonen vibe, so here's hoping this hits the spot. Warning: This isn't an isekai where the MC immediately becomes OP and starts revenge-killing everyone once he gets Death powers. Death is coming, but it's a slow burn. Like some of the reviewers for Volume I mentioned, the MC has a past and it effects his actions and choices in the new world.

The Flesh and Blood Dungeon
This is not the usual dungeon core story. I did not originally plan to make it humorous, but, well, you'll see. This fiction will not turn into a story about a bunch of adventurers who enter a giant boars anus looking for treasure. No promises tho.
