FAQ:
Dialogues: Maybe one of the most challenging aspects of my writing would be dialogue. Since I'm from Brazil, we have tons and tons of ways of speaking the same thing, using different styles and words. For the effect of compassion, you can picture listening to traditional rap. Example in dialogue: "Listen to me", in Brazil is way too formal, here the equivalent in day-to-day dialogue would be: "Listen me" or "Hear me out". Of course, I'll do it only for dialogues, because I know that this can be considered a flaw in grammar and structure.
What should I expect from the story? It's a slow-to-medium burn, the character-focused story mixed with worldbuilding. Some details are revealed from the dialogues, whereas others are from the background composition. Take this like an orchestra, the main instruments are the characters, but in the background, burning slowly are the worldbuilding, the power, the society, and so on.
What's unique about it? The power construction and cultivation, it's based on the psychological point of view, such as personality, traits, and flaws. There is duality so nothing is static and recorded in stone. Someone weaker could defeat someone stronger if he uses the flaws and traits of his opponent, and of course if he plays more smartly.
What are your inspirations? Games, animes, books, and movies. I can name some: Fullmetal Alchemist; Hunter x Hunter; One Piece; The Name of the Wind; Lord of the Rings; Mistborn; Final Fantasy; Rogue Galaxy.
What I should know before reading? English isn't my mother language, in fact, while I write the story, I'm learning the language more profoundly. The chapters are either edited until the second draft or released after I just finish, which takes a long time of my day to do, because of the struggle to write in a way that does not sound so "rusty" and "awkward".
What are the tones of the story? It has its dark side, the struggle of society, madness, and so on; however, I enjoy a lot of the feeling of "adventure" and "it must be funny", so you should expect some fun parts.
Chapter length? About 2000 words in average
The frequency? Slow because of my workload as freelancer and businessperson, lots of calls and projects to work on as a software engineers, then it takes a lot of my time.
