Writing prompts from me to you. I personally cant write well, might aswell share ideas.

Jay was someone who felt he had accomplished nothing in life. After his death, he was given another chance at life but little did he know, it could very well be a new beginning, or his Final Fantasy.

Yes, I am starting my story with a cautionary, because I didnt feel like a three page synopsis was appropriate. So, for those of you that are here for a story, you should take these points to consideration:
1. I am actually writing this because I want feedback on writing style and story building. Maybe you will like it, and maybe you will not. If you comment and leave things like "story is trash bro, git gud", without leaving proper reasoning or background, trust me, you will not like my response, if I bother to do so at all.
2. I am not writing this to make friends, or to create a majestic world that captivates the masses. If that happens to come to pass, then the story definately went above and beyond my expectations.
3. This is a story in my voice. It is not "about me", but will be written from my perspective, perhaps often in first person point of view.
4. This is a DARK Fantasy-FICTION story, may even contain science FICTION at times. If you dont like what goes on in my head, stop reading. The characters, world, and situations are not real, but if you want to belive they are and give me hell for mistreating imaginary characters, then have at it. I will be happy to ignore you. I believe this shouldnt need to be said, but then I see facebook and reddit stories and wonder about the human race.
5. I am sarcastic and brunt, if you could not tell from my previous notes. I will try to make a story that people will enjoy, but it likely will be a narrow window of people that share my tastes.
6. My plan is for the story to develop slowly. I dont plan to have any large time lapses. I want the character(s) to grow and learn as most would, a day at a time.

A former military gamer is contacted by a mysterious benefactor that has noticed his interests and has decided he is qualified for a special virtual reality gaming system test. Curiosity gets the better of him and he ends up plummeting down the rabbit hole that becomes his life. There are a couple problems however, the first being he is already dead, and the second is that he becomes a she.
Note: This is a story based on my perspective of dark fantasy and may not be suitable for people who are offended... by anything. It is marked as "male" lead because it is narrated from the perspective of MC's male persona, for anyone that cares.
Further Note: I plan to progress the story at a modest pace, if you don't like stories in for the long haul, you may not like this one.

Driven by the desire to meet a billion beauties from a million dwellings, Lirzod of the obscure Faceless Clan, a trusty youngster with a heart full of up-front feelings, embarks on an expedition together with two friends—or followers as he’d love to chaff around folks—to join a sect of repute and pick up his people’s place in the pecking order of earthly assemblies. On his extensive quest owing-to and for love, he discovers aplenty—the unkind darkness dancing amok under heaven, puppeteering cut-throat characters with undreamed-of abilities to act against the wellbeing of the wanting ones. How will Lirzod find his place let alone love in a realm largely ruled by reprobates and scallywags of sundry sorts? And what ensues from his endeavors? Hold your breath, and bear witness to his boundless undertakings.

"When I flap my wings, my foes lose their feathers." — Lirzod Basha.

I really hate my brother.
He made me wake up from the PERFECT dream!
... Let's start from the beginning.
So I was watching videos on the couch. Then since I felt sleepy, I decided to take a nap. From there, I had the dream.
I was cuddling the fluffiest puppy ever! It was so cute!!! Its fur was also so soft and felt so so good to pet. It was perfect.
Until my gosh darn moron of a brother woke me up! By laughing like a stupid piece of garbage! The nap only lasted 20 minutes! It was no way long enough!
And guess why he laughed. He laughed because of some Reddit memes! Reddit memes!!!
He woke me up from the best dream ever because of some Reddit memes!!!
I have never wanted to kill someone so badly! Ugh!
Writing this down is just making me even more mad!
He better sleep with one eye open starting from today.

[All sensory experiments involving any cute pets are banned unless authorized.]

I have weirds dreams from time to time.

I told my friend about it and he said to record them down in a "Dream Diary."

So here we are.

These are my weird dreams.

Summary: This is mostly just to pass the time. There really isn't any plot. Just have fun reading it and that's all!

PS: The updates are sporadic(aka WhenEverIWantTo) and the word count varies per chapter.

I am not Chinese and I have little idea on what I am talking about.  I am researching while writing, and am trusting Google, Reddit, ect.  I am writing this genre because I really like cultivation novels.  If you end up finding any mistakes please tell me as I don't want anyone to be offended.  If you see mistakes in grammar please also notify me, and if you have suggestions, it would be appreciated.  I will only be writing a 0-5 chapters a week, as I want this to be more than just a quick, sloppy novel that I am intensely dissatisfied with, I want it to be a sloppy novel that I am somewhat intensely dissatisfied with.  
Please comment to notify me as I have no other method right now.

"You Dare Destroy our Ancestral Building!"
"Where is your face to even steal from elderly!" 
"Lying to my Grand Disciple, Do you have shame!"

"What nonsense are you speaking of!  I am a Scholar!"

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. I hope all is well, dear readers. 

I wanted to take the time to sincerely thank every single one of you for supporting the novel up to this point. It has truly been an honor writing on this platform. Throughout my bitter life, never did I imagine I'd start writing and have people supporting me in the process. I cannot help but say I'm in debt for your undivided support. :')

As for the novel status, we are now past the half mark of Volume 1. Some may be curious as to how long I plan on making the series. I'd say 10 volumes minimum, each being at least 50,000 words (about 50 chapters on Webnovel).

Many may find this unexpected, but my goals for this story is beyond the ordinary. I plan to enter this work into Japan, which will lead to an eventual Manga + Anime adaptation. How do I plan on doing that exactly? Have no worry, I've done my research. Lots of research.

To simplify matters, the plan is to grow on English platforms such as Webnovel, Royal Road, Tapas, Moonquill and even Reddit if I'm lucky. If I attain a certain level of popularity and approval, that will be my beacon to hire a translator to get the book(s) into Japanese and enter them into one of their major web novel competitions online. Winners do get promoted in their magazine and at one point, will be elevated to get adaptations. Lots of anime (some poorly written ones as well) are attaining recognition from these competitions and are getting adaptations, especially in the past few years.

I have no doubt that this work can reach that level someday. Sure, I'm bound to fail, that goes without saying. That won't alter my goal in the slightest. I'm willing to do any and everything possible to make this happen. Even if it takes my entire life. Even if I don't earn a dime. Even if I must sacrifice the time with my friends and family. Even if I must continue to lose sleep. Even if my grades have to be discarded. Even if I have to quit my job. Even if I need to spend thousands of dollars more in investment... I will stay firm towards this goal. This has always been but a dream to me. I will no longer allow it to stay that way, rather, I will make it a reality.

Whew, I've said a lot it seems. Putting all of it aside, some kind souls might wonder: how will I be able to support this cause? 

It's a lot easier than you think, believe me. I have absolutely no intentions to ask money on a PayPal, nor to demand on a platform like Patre0n. I refuse to get this book contracted with locked chapters too, believe it or not. 

All I ask for is that on this platform followed by other websites in the future (will let everyone know once I start publishing elsewhere) that the following is done:

- Voting with powerstones daily
- Sharing this book in as many ways possible
- Staying connected with daily chapters
- Commenting, reviewing and suggesting

That's all I kindly request from everyone. The most important part is sharing the book. Whether it be on a group chat, a server, a friend in real life, a private message to someone you know or even a platform online such as Reddit etc. 

While the support has been phenomenal so far, I really could use more views and overall recognition – especially for the major goals I talked about! Every single viewer, share, collection, rating, review, vote and comment counts and brings us a step closer to the endgame. ^-^

Be a part of this great cause. Together, we can create a revolution. We will accomplish the unthinkable and prove the world wrong. It all lies within your support and love. 

That wraps up my message today. I apologize for taking your precious time like this. You don't have a clue how grateful I am for everything... :>

Look forward to the rest of volume 1, as the other main characters finally join the story soon! Do comment on how you feel about the story so far, I'd be delighted to know! Have a wonderful day, dear readers. <3

Author (me): I kinda tired of writing a fanfiction so I decided to make an original. I'm working on a novel, the title's going to either be: "Mr. Protagonist's System " or "The Reincarnation of an Anarchist". 

I don't know if I'm going to upload it in Webnovel though, honestly even Wattpad is BETTER at this point. Why?

Google this link: 

https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/gc5vlw/chinese_webnovels_how_tencent_the_chinese_reddit/

Or just google: "reddit how tencent is about to destroy" 

But here's the news:

Webnovels

Webnovels are a subset of contemporary Chinese literature published exclusively through Internet platforms. Think ArchiveOfOurOwn but not free, and for original content. My extremely subjective view of them is that they are generally speaking, terrible pulp fiction mostly written for emotional satisfaction rather than because the author is chasing the Nobel Prize for literature. However, I don't mean to demean them because they're the exact type of stuff from which really good shit will emerge, so I've been eyeing them from a safe distance for a while. They're basically the combination of what YA novels and shitty romance novels and Dan Brown books and stuff are to English readers - utter shite, but also an important part of the ecosystem.

While online publishing exists in the west, it's not nearly a big of a deal as it is in China. A very large portion of the top IPs mainland Chinese people consume originated from webnovels - Mo Dao Zu Shi is one that I know has some recognition on Reddit. Off topic but is it a coincidence that webnovels, the the most loosely-regulated medium available to most people, is also the most popular? Worth thinking about isn't it. Unfortunately the webnovel community had also suffered some intense state-run censorship over the past two years which has greatly reduced creative freedom (ie. many no longer dare to describe any physical contact between characters in fear of being reported as pornography, no kidding).

Webnovel authors rely on a few large platforms for publication and readership. Without getting too specific: readers purchase works they like through the platform, and the platform gives a portion of the income generated by a novel to the creator. This system works - many authors depend on it for a living, others use it as a side hustle or write for fun.

Fucking Tencent enters the game

A few days ago, Tencent, which owns one of the two major webnovel platforms (and holds 50% of shares in the other one), updated their contract for authors. Some of the changes are as follows:

All copyright of any given work now belongs to Tencent, until 50 years after the author's death. Tencent can do whatever the fuck they want with it without having to negotiate anything with the author.

Legal fees caused by copyright disputes will still be entirely paid by the author, not Tencent.

Tencent can release any work on the platform for free.

Tencent has the right to any social media accounts of the author.

Tencent is not obligated to provide authors with any employee benefits.

Upon signing the contract the author is obligated to provide an exact schedule for how and when a work will be completed. Failure to following the schedule will be seen as breaking the contract, to which Tencent can respond by not distributing benefits to the author, or requiring the author to take responsibility for losses incurred.

Why this means fucking Tencent is about to ruin everything

As you can see, this is basically a slave contract. It will completely re-shape the existing Internet literature landscape - authors lose all rights to everything and Tencent gets a free IP farm. Tencent can adapt your work in any way they like. If Tencent doesn't like you, they can kick you off and give your penname and social media handles to someone else. Tencent can change your work any way you want, without your permission. Tencent doesn't even need to pay you, in fact you might wind up paying Tencent. While the most famous authors will be temporarily unscathed, everyone else will probably lose any income they receive from writing.

This all happened a few days ago, and the community is in chaos. The most commonly reposted comment is that authors have been collectively reduced to a bunch of ghostwriters. Some of the most successful authors have made long posts on social media denouncing the whole thing, while many others stayed conspicuously quiet. A very popular book "Gui Mi Zhi Zhu" (Lord of the Unknown? something like that) that updated periodically for years suddenly concluded yesterday with an ending many readers found disappointing, likely in low-key protest against the change.
Even worse, numerous less-famous authors who are well-aware that they aren't popular enough for Tencent to feel the need to financially compensate them properly have announced they will just stop writing entirely.

-----------------------------------------

Author (me): Lord of Unknown is Lord of Mysteries if I'm right. 

-----------------------------------------

In the long term since Tencent, a profit-incentivised megacorp has complete creative control over so many works, a sharp decline in the quality of popular media available in simplified Chinese is inevitable - everything from adding lowbrow fanservice to completely altering the themes of a book will likely happen, based on Tencent's track record. It's a truly horrifying prospect for Chinese-only readers who had little high-tier pulp to consume in the first place. Someone posted: "Censorship by the socialist regime killed Internet literature, and now capitalists are here to eat its corpse," very edgy but pretty accurate in my opinion.

While saying that this will "destroy" Internet literature in mainland China might be an overstatement right now, it's another clear step towards the medium's demise because the other webnovel platforms are likely to follow Tencent's footsteps if this implementation turns out to be profitable. I've never felt more sympathy for my friends who aren't bilingual, they'll be stuck with shittier and shittier IPs until the whole thing collapses.

Why isn't anything being done about all this?

Because there's little anyone can do. Tencent famously possesses "the most power legal department in China", a lawsuit will go nowhere if not bite you in the ass. Organised protests and labour unions of any form are illegal in China. Ironically enough, most of this happened on Labour Day.
Not using the platform this happened to is an option that many are taking, but no one knows if it will be effective since only users who actually care will participate.

Conspiracy theory time

Archive Of Our Own, the free fanfiction platform, was banned in China around a month ago due to idol fandom squabbles (there are good posts covering it on this sub). Could Tencent have been behind that, since AO3 is non-profit and actually endorses creative freedom?
EDIT: the relevant post on this sub about the AO3 ban is gone, RIP

Conclusion

Fuck Tencent
