《Kali Yuga》Forethought
Advertisement
As I mentioned in the last chapter of part-1, the story is rushed to end. I had been struggling with this fic for quite some times before I decided that I can't keep on writing like this.
There are readers who are disappointed by how the story was written. As a writer, perhaps I am disappointed more by the result of my writing than them.
I realized there are many characters that aren't used as they should be. I try to write a several intertwined story lines but it doesn't turn out the way I want it to be. I try to write a harem where the relation between the mc and the girls is realistic and realize that it's hard to write something closely romantic with a normal couple, it's definitely beyond my ability to pull such thing out of a harem setting.
I keep on writing, but the more I write, the farther it is from the way I visioned it in the first place.
Writing began to feel more like a burden than fun, but I don't want to leave it hanging either. That's how I wrote chapter 103.
I don't want to leave it without an end. With chapter 103, at least there is something that resemble an end. At the same time, the end still leave me a path to write the 2nd part.
The last few days, I try to re-write part-1 and plan a plot based on the characters in part-1. But it's getting more and more like a completely another story with an mc who happen to have same name.
My other plan is to accept part-1 as is, and begin to write part-2 as a story that was born from part-1 but have its own life. People can read part-2 just fine, without having to read part-1. If they want to, they can read part-1 to get more insight.

Once again I would like to say thanks to those who read this story this far. I would like to hear your opinion about whether I should re-write part-1 or just leave it as is. Since from the way I see it, if I do re-write part-1, many things will change.
I also wonder, if I do re-writing part-1 would you (readers) prefer the game like leveling or the xianxia cultivation more? I find the game like leveling is quite interesting but since I wrote without a good plan, I got burdened with trying to get as far as possible from God and Devil's World setting, that I decided to take the xianxia cultivation route.
Thanks for anyone who're willing to throw some opinions.

Sokaiseva
Erika Hanover received her magic on her twelfth birthday—far earlier than anyone was supposed to—and suddenly, everything in her life made sense. Magic could solve everything. Magic was all she'd ever wanted. When she was offered a spot on the roster of a mercenary group policing magic-tinged crime in her home of upstate New York, she jumped at the chance. Anything to get away from her hometown. It didn't matter what the work was. She didn't care. Now, though, with almost a decade between herself and her time as a child soldier with the Radiant, things aren't as clear as they used to be. Part slice-of-life, part coming-of-age, part surreal absurdist nightmare, Sokaiseva is the tale of a shell-shocked shadow-war's veteran recounting her time growing up as the last line of defense in a world secretly teetering on the brink of disaster. Book Two (Teardrop Two-Step) is going live now! New chapters go up Wednesday and Sunday.
