9 Ready to Release New Chapters
After moving states and adapting to new circumstances I am prepared to start releasing new chapters consistently. But, I have a problem.
With the time that has gone by I have a completely new outlook on how I want this novel to go and I want to completely revamp it. Before doing so, I want any readers that are still around (if there are any?) to give me some feedback on how you want me to do that.
Option one: I release the chapters I have written and make a new book under a similar name while canceling this one.
Option two: I erase the chapters and start over.
Option three: I delete the book and create a novel with a similar name that I release chapters to.
As to what I'm planning on writing, readers of 'My Chaotic City' will have some idea.
I plan to have everyone in the world still have a 'core' but the core will be referred to as different things for every level and for each level the area inside and the ability to influence reality will change. What would normally be a semi-boring grind in cultivation will instead be made more interesting with the addition of 'gates' that appear at the end of a 'war corridor' that can open after a certain time or with the prompting of the cultivator, sending phantom creatures made by the world consciousness to attack and attempt to deal a blow to the cultivator's cultivation while giving them gains in the form of a 'world blessing' if they manage to successfully defend themself.
As for how the cultivators defend themself, without going into much detail they will be able to condense 'qi' in their core into creatures they have an affinity with and let these creatures cultivate in their core as if it was a real world. Depending on the creature, the creature will build/develop a variety of different homes/traps/weapons to defend against outsiders.
Snakes, for instance, might build homes underground that they launch attacks out of stealthily while they inject venom into those they attack or develop into massive behemoths that can take massive damage while relying on their teeth to deal deadly blows to opponents depending on the cultivator's actions and the other creatures around them (strong opponents may lead them into hiding underground or increasing their size so they're more threatening depending on how things play out).
Affinity will be a main driving force in cultivators' cultivation and can be increased with study and bloodlines that they can develop (think Leylin from Warlock of the Magus World studying snakes and improving their bloodlines through his studies).
Each cultivator will have an inborn talent that affects how they develop from attribute improvements for their creatures to elemental affinities to our MC's talent of combination and more.
As for the MC's combination talent, think merge games but more complex. In the beginning, the MC may be able to combine two regular snakes for example to create a bigger snake, a two-headed snake, a more spiritually developed snake, a deformed and weaker snake, a catdog like creature, and more. Again this is inspired by 'My Chaotic City' but I'll be trying to make it a lot different (there are a lot more possibilities when it's not towers).
As for how the 'cores' develop, I plan to have it be similar to 'Building the Ultimate Fantasy' where the cultivators influence their core worlds by adding energy, improving the quality of the residents, adding new methods of power, and using the energy the residents gain to increase the cultivator's power.
My apologies if this seems a bit rushed or low in quality/all over the place, I'm tired and I'm writing this on my phone while my computer charges.
Please leave your thoughts (anyone) in the comment section.
