A story playing with the boundaries of fiction and non-fiction. Raw, unfettered emotions are drawn in the aftermath of a toxic and hurtful relationship. Many only see one side of the story, but there are different pains left forgotten. A regular guy battles through these emotions and feelings of pain as he struggles to heal and come out a better man. At the end of the tunnel, he may just find that there's something worth moving forward for.

This is the story of Elizabeth Reedus. She moves from Miami to Birmingham. 
This is a realistic fiction/romance

I thought only names, places, and events can only be a fiction. But when I met a poem writer, I just realized that love can be also a fiction.

I'm a novelist who loves tragic ending.

He's a poem writer who loves to write romantic words.

Both of us are a writer.

Our pen will suddenly meet as it lead us to a love story.

That even reality will turn to an imagination.

And our love story will suddenly be just a WORK OF FICTION.

THE END...

no! it's not an ending of the story I'm just messing around with my readers 😛.

just leave that joke there. 
the point is that the trauma of the earthquake is now ended. no more any sentences on this trauma or maybe a little something like this can be a discussion later in further chapters. I don't know, it completely depends on my mood.
ah! 
well, let's move on to the next one. shall we?
you might say yes.
ah! write I forget...

"thank you so much for reading my creation."

it's been so long that I have said this to you. I'm glad that you are my reader. and appreciate your given time to read my writings.
-------------------------

we have some events that have occurred until now. 
let me clarify what are those-

so basically the last time we have. Mint has made his confession to Martin when he meant him on the disaster spot and luckily Martin has mutual feeling too. this confession of Mint worked out. now what happens next in their relationship development, it will be discussed in later chapters on.

after rescued by Freddie, Jasmine's heart tries to open up its gate and willing to regain courage and can love someone again.

and the other hand we have a new character entry Caption Arron. a highly qualified military man. by the way, he was mentioned before, as the man who saved Eric from a fight before. the other man with Aroon was Earth the fellow soldier position as a sergeant in Thailand Army. from the recent events, when Eric saved by Aroon twice, he was unable to thank him properly due to his condition. but he was willing to meet him again and thank him properly. on the other hand caption, Aroon was willing to meet and want to acknowledge Eric as an interest.

the chemistry between Aroon and Eric will begin soon.

-------------------------

"Hey, Eric!"

"yes, Mint."

"I was thinking we have ended the first part of the story of Mint and Martin book. but we still have a whole tale to tell, what happens after the earthquake event."

"yes, we already did that. we are glad that our writer has interpreted the story well."

"but, we have a little bit of a problem. The writer kinda out of ideas and he don't know what to write now."

"Seriously!, are you kidding me right now? He, the main writer out of his creative ideas?"

"😅 kind of... I guess."

"no, He can't be. don't joke with me right now. if he is out of the ideas who would put together our story."

"😅... I can't say much. he has to explain to you that...
let's just make a pause of that topic. we are here today to discuss something else on this chapter. which is not related to the story in this book, but something else."

"ya, I completely forgot about that."

"shall we begin?"

"of course, what are you waiting for?."

"I was kinda thinking 🤔, in between this fictional world and the real world, what kind of elements were similar and were different. how can you differentiate and relate each with other? can you elaborate on this?"

"Am...m! I have no idea what are you talking about. can you explain in more details?"

"I mean to say. in your opinion, what makes this fiction world different from the real world?"

"Aaa...!! what I can say about it?

😐 
let me think...
if I explain in this topic that you have mentioned. I can say, yes, kind of some certain elements were similar to this story, other elements were purely fictional. like this is a completely imaginary world in comparison to the real world. so the events that happen in this fiction world entirely come from the author's mind. the author is responsible for all of the events that occurred in this universe. so basically speaking, we are just a part of that universe (author's universe) the action occurred in here within us and in our surrounding is interpreted by the author, we are not self willing to do things by ourselves. we are just creations who have to walk on the path created but the author. unlike in the real world, where people were free to do whatever they want."

"So basically, you want to say we are like puppets."

"I think 🤔 so!"

"That statement makes it understandable."

"Yup!"

"can you specify the steps involving in writing the creation?"

"so basically there are different genre of tales for the writer to pick for himself to write. he does that first. then an interesting topic he chooses. the topic and tales were either depend on a real incident or entirely fiction or mix of both for a spicy taste in the story. but first of all the write gain the information about the topic he was going to write it's either fiction or based on real events. if he didn't do that the reader might misunderstand or misjudged his creation in the time being. when the research work he did.
with his skills and knowledge, he shows his work through writing. either the writers pick topics from there environment directly, we call them real-life based/ events. hence are valid to state them as true. or the author just takes influence from the environment. if I explain that in details It would be- the author picks things up from the environment and add it to the fiction. like names of the characters which can be based on the real names of the person. places names will be similar. the similarity of culture and tradition in fiction and real-life and many more like that. this matching of materials makes things go easier for the writer and time saving he does not have to make an entirely complete system of organisations of its subjects. but that doesn't mean his creativity is limited up to this. as an author he can do whatever he wants, I am trying to say that, he can either take true events as a topic or take influences for the environment or can make entirely new systems in his creations all by himself."

"so basically those facts above mentioned were the base of writing things up."

"ya! kind of. don't take it on the count. it's my personal opinion of that. others might feel it differently."

"so, into the next one.
There is one thing that I wanna understand. what factors were responsible for creating a new fiction world of the author?"

"as I have mentioned earlier. most of the time author pick something from their current environment. it is a lot easier for them. instead of thinking something completely different. or as if I talk about the genre of fiction, it, itself diverse into may category like science-fiction, war-fiction, historical-fiction etc. writer search on these events first, like in a historical-fiction the writer's research were their clothes, community, what meal they have and how their lifestyle and events that occur at what period/era. so it was an example of fiction that has taken its plot from environment factors. either there is a common similarity between them, they still consider as fiction due to the story and characters based on the story were imaginary. likewise in science-fiction author either pick its material from the current developing science-based on a futuristic view which is completely nonexistence in the present time but might be possible in future. materials from this fiction are completely imaginary and are harder to write due to the consumption of more creative power for the author. as for some events were also similar in here based on their research. but due to falling into the category of fiction they might occur in real life, the whole story can still consider as fiction. but as you speak for the factors I would say-
that the entirely plat and storytelling is based on the author mind. through his emotion and research, he binds his creativity together."

"If I ask you more, what do you think our writer's motive in narrating our story?"

"I think Mint it's the personal reason of the author. more like wish to accomplish which he cannot gain in his real world's life.
what he has feelings in his heart and mind what he is willing his world to be, what he wants a world to live in, he creates using us as fiction.
he has a desire to live a life as he writes in his fiction."

"that might be true. he is creating his new own universe. for himself and someone like himself to live on through that. that relieves his and his fellow reader's stress for a little while."

"yes, and it's true."

"move on to our last question.
What are your expectations from the writer?"

"Mine is barely much, but I want to have a good storyline of my own."

"that wish is common among every story character that their write give them a proper role in the story."

"I can agree with that😅. that's why mine too."

"Ok, now its time to end this here.
its have a great time with you, Eric. I glad you can explain some of your thoughts with our readers."

"ya, sure.😊"

My Dear, 

This is Mint. this story's main Protagonist. you guessed it right, I like men. like a lot, literally. yes, I am the one, belong to that 10% population which consider as the minority, The LGBTQ+. but if you take aside the sexuality agenda, I'm a normal person like you. I have a family, friends like more than brother and sister. suitable college life and a friend that I have a crush on. I wake up early daily, take bath, eat meals regularly, and always be on time for college, being studious is my nature. posses talents and hobbies and thinking uniquely. facing difficulties and stress, dealing with them, and all stuff like that. I am as normal as you are as extraordinary as you are.
practically I possess every characteristic of human beings.

and this is my story.


"Mint, have you make contact with any of our friends?"

"I trying to call them, but no one is available at this moment. I'm now afraid. they might not get hurt?"

"I don't know but I think they may be safe. I trust God for their safety. we just need to configure this Idea."

"You might be true. I guess this earthquake might not cause any damage to them. but still, can't make any contact with them makes me more worried as per second passes."

"Keep Hope Mint. everything will be fine. the disaster has passed. now we just have to figure out where their locations are. but first, you need to take a deep breath and calm your blood pressure down. don't be panic."

"I am trying to calm myself down. but, as time passes I can't stop worrying about them. and I might keep worrying like this until I discover they are safe."

I say a msg dropped into my phone. I rapidly get up and gear up for helping them.

"Han, I should go and look for them. you have to rest"

"I can't sit around and do nothing. when I knew my friends are out there. they might need my help. I should go too."

"No, please, you are in no condition right now. look at you. you barely even walk right now. if you get out like this you have me behind to worry about you too."

"but!"

"I do not afford to listen to any excuses right now. just be here and I take the rest of the part to make sure they are safe."

My heart-eating me out of worry. this is a case of emergency, of course, I would. why not. but nonetheless, I wasn't thinking straight. 
when I started to think, why I was running so desperate to the first destination. when I received the location like this crazy? I might say I can't judge myself for what reason my heart is shouting me to 'run' fast as I can. move my feet as I can, towards the person it might desire to take a glimpse to his safety.

yes, I am figuring out myself too, why? why him? why this particular person my heart has a desire to see this extensively out of anyone in this entire planet right now?

The upper phase might not be a question. but it might rather be it's an answer to itself. I just have to figure out what.

Hello lovely readers~ I'm sorry this isn't a story update, but one will follow shortly tomorrow! I just wanted to let you know that I changed the listed genre of this story to Realistic Fiction instead of Fan Fiction. I don't know how this will affect the story, but rest assured, the story will continue as intended with BTS and friends despite the change.

To answer the question in the title:

1) The MC is Iris Huang, a fictional character along with her family and the other Big Hit trainees. Any k-pop idols included in this story are secondary leads. 

2) BTS are not the only k-pop included in this story; thus, this is more of a k-pop fanfic if anything. With that said, they are more integral to the story than the others. 

But because this story began as an entry into the BTS writing competition, I have since after its end gotten some hate for writing it merely due to BTS fanfics swamping the Fan Fiction section. (I really don't see the case for it because the top popular fan fics listed only showed 3 BTS fan fics including mine much lower down the browsing results. But with the contest, the sudden influx probably messed up the New section.) 

In short, imagine this as a fictional story that's realistic in being set in the modern world and time with real-life people's names. This story was never completely about BTS, it was about Iris surviving in the music industry. It's like saying a fantasy story can't also be a romance; even though, the story may be listed under Fantasy as the main genre. 

3) I see stories on here not listed as fan fiction when they're based on TV shows and series, and the story MC is clearly the MC of that original show. Since I think my story follows Realistic Fiction more than as a BTS fan fiction since it isn't totally centered around them, I changed it two weeks after the competition ended. Additionally, now no one can complain about their favorite fan fiction being overrun by BTS ones.... I don't want to inadvertently add to the hate that BTS receives for stupid reasons like this.

----

Anyway, those are my reasons for both any new or old readers. I had initially created this story for the contest in hopes of being considered different from the ones commonly found on Wattpad. I wanted to remain respectful to BTS while creating a truly original but modern story.

As always, thank you for reading and supporting this story! <3

**Important Note: This is about a fictional OC girl surviving in the music industry and set in real, modern times. **

-------------------------------------------------------

Synopsis:

BTS, Bangtan Sonyeondan, Bulletproof Boy Scouts, Beyond The Scene. The idol group had various names, but to Iris, BTS would forever be her inspiration, both in music and in life.

She had first encountered them by accident during BTS’s American Hustle Life. Curious and smitten by the adorably awkward boys who couldn’t speak English very well, she later discovered that they were K-pop idols. Upon discovering K-pop, she realized her passion for singing and dancing. She joined the Korean Culture Club at her university and participated in K-pop dance covers.

But as a practical girl, she never pursued music seriously. As a second generation American to Thai and Chinese parents, she felt a responsibility to graduate college and be a successful businesswoman. But BTS was the wildcard in her life. When she fatefully met them again during their Wings world tour, her life would never be the same again.

Tossed into the brutal world of K-pop, she became somehow became a Big Hit trainee!

-------------------------------------------------------

Genres: Fan Fiction, (side) Romance Fiction

Question: Why is this listed as Realistic Fiction instead of Fan Fiction?

1) The MC is Iris Huang, a fictional character along with her family and the other Big Hit trainees. Any k-pop idols included in this story are secondary leads.

2) BTS are not the only k-pop included in this story; thus, this is more of a k-pop fanfic if anything. With that said, they are more integral to the story than the others.

But because this story began as an entry into the BTS writing competition, I have since after its end gotten some hate for writing it merely due to BTS fanfics swamping the Fan Fiction section. (I really don't see the case for it because the top popular fan fics listed only showed 3 BTS fan fics including mine much lower down the browsing results. But with the contest, the sudden influx probably messed up the New section.)

In short, imagine this as a fictional story that's realistic in being set in the modern world and time with real-life people's names. This story was never completely about BTS, it was about Iris surviving in the music industry. It's like saying a fantasy story can't also be a romance; even though, the story may be listed under Fantasy as the main genre.

Additionally, now no one can complain about their favorite fan fiction being overrun by BTS ones.... I don't want to inadvertently add to the hate that BTS receives for stupid reasons like this.

-------------------------------------------------------

Note about the realism in this book:
All of the realism is to allow readers to be able to insert themselves as the MC as if living this reality for real in the modern world. I hope to share BTS's inspirational message to love yourself. May you gain the strength to also believe in yourself and follow your dreams~!

Chapter 1
Becoming a Starter Level Author
by : 314 (Yang Chen)

Previously, in the general article on "Webnovel author levels' standards", I separated webnovel authors into five different levels. But actually, there's a hidden sixth level – total beginners that aren't even at starter level. This refers to complete newcomer authors that have zero experience and have never written a single word for a webnovel.

Still, not everyone needs beginner level guides, even if they're a pure newcomer. Of course, if you're an established author who has experience writing long novels, feel free to ignore this article and move on to the next one, regardless of whether or not your story was successful. Or, perhaps you've never written long novels, but have the natural talent to write as easily as you drink water. In that case, there's no need for you to read this beginner level article anymore.

In fact, there's even plenty of newcomer authors that feel like it's incredibly difficult for them to write a short, several hundred word long essay, or to write an end-of-year reflection. But, when such newcomer authors try writing webnovels for the first time, they find their minds clearing up, with the ability to write like they are possessed, with storyline flowing out from under their proverbial pens just like a stream of water. Newcomers like these naturally don't need to read a beginner level guide like this one, either.

Those who truly need to read this article are those who put their hands at writing webnovels, but find that their minds are empty or filled with mud the moment they open up their computer documents. Perhaps you're a newcomer author who tried thinking for an entire day but only managed to write a few hundred words that even you think is garbage.

In such a case, for newcomers like you, how should you improve your writing, and write your first thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand words? How do you take the first step in becoming a god of writing?

I personally believe that you can try the several following tips.

1: Adjust your mentality and create a precise writing goal for yourself.

Unlike most other jobs, success as a webnovel author doesn't always come step by step. Some sufficiently talented newcomer authors are completely capable of earning hundreds of thousands, or even millions, on their very first novel. A single novel can make an author into a master, or even a grandmaster. There are also veteran authors who have been stuck at a certain level for a long time who might one day have an epiphany and find a new writing style more suitable for him or herself, turning them into a master overnight.

However, the cruel reality is, no matter if it's a newcomer becoming a master overnight, or a veteran suddenly improving, there's one condition that's an absolutely necessary prerequisite—

The author needs to already have strong writing skills. This means that such a wonderful thing is unlikely to have anything to do with you who's reading this article, as you're not even at the beginner level.

For authors who aren't even at the starter level, there's only one goal that you should be setting for yourselves. That goal is to be able to naturally write a long novel. To be more specific, there's two major goals within this goal.

The first goal is to be able to imagine and finish a story that's approximately 500,000 words. Simply speaking, you have to be able to write long novels.

This is because the natural way how webnovels work makes it so that only a longer novel can bring greater benefits for the author. The novel's ranking, influence, and author's fame are all affected by the novel's length. To achieve a respectable degree in these areas, the novel will typically need to be at least 1.5 million words or longer.

Of course, from a professional standpoint, a story written for the sake of practice doesn't really need to have that many words in it. That's because in theory, an author who's capable of finishing a 500,000-word long novel has already learned the foundational writing skills necessary. As long as such an author has a complete outline for their story, writing two or three million words will no longer be so difficult.

The second goal is to be able to write approximately five thousand words every day. Simply speaking, you must be able to write quickly.

This is because there's a huge number of webnovels out there, giving you immense competition. Based on webnovel readers' typical reading habits, only stories that have consistent updates will be able to obtain and maintain popularity. For a super consistent release, the lowest requirement is to update at least two chapters per day.

One chapter might have an average of around 2500 words. At the very minimum, they should at least be longer than 1500 words. This is why, for a webnovel author to become successful, their writing speed must be at minimum three to five thousand words per day. When calculating this by months, this means that you need to write at least 45,000 to 75,000 words per month. This is the most basic requirement.

Those are all the prerequisite conditions for newcomer authors to develop into starter level webnovel authors. At this level, the quality of your writing isn't that important. Nor is the popularity of your novel important, either. Being able to write a long novel and write quickly are the two main goals that you as a newcomer author should strive for.

Something that should be noted is that at this level, you should pay more attention to improving your own ability, rather than worrying about your story. There are no tests for you, nor are there any grades. By the time you're in the middle of the story, if you notice that you're having an easy time writing and can easily write five thousand words per day, in addition to having a clear outline for your entire novel, then congratulations. This means that you're now a starter level webnovel author.

2: Choose an appropriate genre and topic.

With the development of webnovels, there's so many genres out there already – eastern fantasy, high fantasy, martial arts, xianxia, modern, mystical, historical, military, gaming, competitions, science fiction, fan fiction…

All these genres have their own specialties, and have different popularity factors and important things to keep in mind when writing. Also, they all have different degrees of difficulty when writing them. Still, what needs to be noted is that these different genres will have varying degrees of difficulty for different authors.

Perhaps one author will find it incredibly painful to write historical fiction, while writing a mystical story is fun and relaxing for him. Meanwhile, another author might find it incredibly easy to write historical fiction, while writing a modern day novel feels all sorts of awkward for her.

Obviously, for authors that are total beginners, you should choose the easiest type of story to write for you. But, what if you don't even know what genre you should be starting out in?

Allow me to recommend a few easy genres for newcomer authors.

1: Fan fiction

Fan fiction refers to using an already existing story's characters and setting as the basis to create new stories. This is a type of story modification.

For example, you could write a story and call it "Harry Potter and His Adventures". This story could be about how Harry Potter ended up with Hermione, or how he has multiple girlfriends. This is an example of a fan fiction about Harry Potter.

What needs to be noted is that in the large majority of situations, fan fiction authors don't actually have the copyright to their own stories. Even if you wrote every single word of your fan fiction novel by yourself, you still have zero right to use your novel for any commercial purposes.

But, even so, fan fiction is still one of the best choices for total beginner authors. The reason is that they are quite simple to write.

When writing fan fiction, you don't need to think about a complicated world background or any detailed settings. Nor do you need to create a large amount of characters. Even the fan fiction's story can be inspired from the original novel. All these things, especially creating the setting and characters, are what newcomers typically have the most trouble with.

Basically, writing fan fiction will greatly simplify the writing process, directly avoiding the most difficult part of all. Without a doubt, this is the easiest way for newcomer authors to get started.

As for what story to base your fan fiction on, it first needs to be a story that you as an author have already read and are familiar with. Also, it's best if it's a story you truly love, perhaps even reading it several times over. This is the basic requirement for writing fan fiction.

On top of all that, I would recommend choosing to write fan fiction about a story whose copyright has already expired, such as "Romeo and Juliet" or "Don Quixote" and so on. Or, it would be best if you could somehow obtain permission directly from the author of the work that you intend to write fan fiction about.

Of course, even if you have no way to contact the author or obtain their permission, it's still fine to write fan fiction. This just means that you can only write for free, without earning any profits, and also respect the original author of the work. After all, for newcomer level authors like you, learning and improving your writing is the most important part. Since your novels are unlikely to be commercially viable at this stage, it's not all that important even if you write a fan fiction novel that you're not allowed to profit from.

2. Modern novels

This genre refers to novels that take place in a modern day urban setting. The city background is typically where the author has lived and is familiar with.

Compared with fan fiction, modern novels have the added difficulty of having to create your own characters. Still, it does decrease the amount of trouble you have to go to in creating a setting. Not only that, when writing character introductions, you can save a lot of effort in having to explain a lot of common knowledge, such as what a character's job entails, or their social status. Saving all this effort is quite precious for newcomers.

And compared to fan fiction, modern novels have their own advantages as well. That is to say, the author can more easily write themselves into the main character, making the storyline easier to think about. Normally speaking, all you need to do is to give the main character a special cheat, or a unique advantage, and the rest will flow as naturally as water.

For example, there's a very popular modern novel with a reincarnated main character. The protagonist has only a very simple cheat—being reincarnated to several years in the past. This is quite an easy scenario for newcomer authors to insert themselves into. Just think about it, if you can reincarnate back to the past with all your memories intact, what will you do?

Most authors can probably imagine it. If you return to several years in the past with knowledge of the future, there's just far too many ways of earning money. Even if you have zero business skills, can't remember a single stock market pick, and don't remember who won the World Cup of Soccer, at the very absolute minimum, shouldn't you know something like what company you should invest in?

Apart from earning money, don't you, the author, have any other regrets as well? For example, do you regret not treating your parents better while they were still alive? Do you regret choosing the wrong major in college? Are you embarrassed at your awkward attempts to get a boyfriend/girlfriend?

And so on, and so forth. Why are you afraid of not being able to think of plots for your storyline and making it longer?

As for the specific details, those are quite easy as well. For example, if you intended to sell off everything you owned back in the day and take out a huge loan to invest in one specific company, what would your parents say, and how would they react? How would all your other friends and relatives react as well? Who would you try to borrow money from, and how would they respond? What's the specific process of investing in a company, and what procedures are necessary? What if the company you invest in temporarily loses value after you invest in it? Would your parents complain at you and tell you to retract your investment? And how will people react after the company you invested in suddenly does super well and you make a huge profit? And, what will you do with the money…

Just this one storyline arc about investing in a company has plenty of content to write about even simply by following the natural process of how people would act. And if you use that as the foundation and intentionally write some conflicts, such as how the protagonist discovered that his friend who he wanted to borrow money from is actually investing in a different company, how he pretended to have a casual attitude when opening up an investment account made the investment company female employee misunderstand him to be someone really rich, or how people scoffed at him after investing in a company and he made a bet…

Wouldn't you agree that all these related events can add plenty of content to your story? Not only that, it shouldn't be all that difficult even for a newcomer author to write such a story arc.

Even if you're one of the few who feel like you lack imaginative prowess, and you don't have the confidence to create interesting scenarios and conflicts, well, there's still one more advantage of writing a modern story—you can borrow ideas from plenty of sources.

The most direct sources of all would be television dramas, especially those set in the current day. This should be easy to understand.

Apart from television shows and movies, there's also hot topics in society, the news, or local gossip and family conflicts… These are sources that are easy to overlook or maybe often considered boring. But actually, it's quite common to make some modifications and write them into your own novel and borrow from such sources.

This is why, from a certain standpoint, modern novels are the easiest novels for newcomers to begin with and to write a long story about.

3. Imitations

Imitation type novels aren't a particular genre, but they can belong to any genre. While this may seem rather contradictory, it actually means that a newcomer author could try selecting one of his or her own favorite and most familiar novels and imitate it. This isn't limited by genre.

Imitation could be shallow, or it could be a close imitation as well.

To give a theoretical example, perhaps the original story has a main character named Zhang San, who's the son of the sect leader of Green Castle. Your imitation novel could try having a main character named Li Si, who's the son of the sect leader of the Wudang Sect. The original story had Zhang San falling off a cliff and miraculously surviving while also obtaining a book containing a miraculous cultivation technique. After he successfully powered up, Zhang San was sent by his father to go undercover in the Demon Sect, where he fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's daughter. Your story could try having Li Si being ambushed while cultivating and becoming seriously injured, but miraculously having a great breakthrough in cultivation due to overlapping coincidences. Afterwards, Li Si went undercover in the Demon Sect in an effort to investigate who ambushed him, and fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's granddaughter…

This type of imitation requires even less creative effort from the author compared to fan fiction. From a certain standpoint, this is really cutting it close to becoming plagiarism. Yet, it's still undeniable that this is a usable method for newcomer authors to improve their own skills.

But, please note that this type of writing style is only suitable for practicing your writing. If your story is too much of an imitation, it'll be impossible to even make it public. That's because unlike fan fiction, even if you don't use it for commercial purposes, you've still plagiarized and violated the original author's copyright. It might even spoil certain plots from the original story and affect its sales and popularity.

That's why this type of learning via imitation, in principle, isn't really one of the better ways to learn. More accurately speaking, this is the final way to learn available to total beginner authors that have failed at attempting all other self-training methods.

In normal circumstances, after half a month to a month of imitation practice, the author should have some more insight into writing. The author can learn how to design storylines and write descriptions. At such a time, the author can stop trying to imitate and begin developing a completely original novel on their own.

Okay so . . . this is new for me and anything that associates with, well this. Anyway if you are reading this. It means you are A. Seriously bored, or B. That you want to know what is going on in this story. To those that read the first chapter and the original Authors Thoughts. I am not sorry for letting you wait and stew on my story. (Ha, take that you plebs.)
SO, Harry Potter, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Fate series, Some Gamer Elements, Assassin Creed, Elsword, Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, and probably the DC Universe if it works.
These are the manga's, games, and books that are going to be present in this Fan Fiction. I don't own any characters, the story, products, or anything associated with them except for this Fan Fiction. The pride, pure resentment, and exhaustion of this story of mine. And probably other anime, tv shows, comic, manga, and books will be on here if it works in this story.
Like it took me 8 months on pondering and thinking this Fan fiction. It was a thought that did not leave me alone, so I planned to sate my mind and write this story and boy did I feel pure joy, resentment, and anger for writing this. It took 3 Months rethinking and redoing the writing for the First chapter. And then it took me another 2 months to redoing again and writing chapter 2. The time and effort for just one chapter to be up and published. Urgg! It was mentally tiring and exciting writing this.
So, the first thing that I will warn you about is that the story will be chaotic and probably confusing for the most part. I don't know if its going to be in your prospective understanding or if the story will make sense at all. It's up to your mind to begin with. SO to begin with, some characters will be gender bent for my own amusement and probably some romance. Probably, maybe, likely, perhaps, and most definitely. I will gender bend for ROMANCE. OH the so many possibilities with the power in these simple hands of mine. The power, the fellow hate, resentment, the love and support for my fellow Weaboo's. I will relish the feelings that you all shower me. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!! ! !
Ahem, sorry about that. This story will take place in Harry Potter setting and world, then latter down the line show other products. Another note to add. For me, especially me. I have to slow down my reading speed and reorganize my thoughts to understand some stories. So my advice, read slow and reread sentences if you don't understand them.
The Game mechanic that I will use will be down below. I will try to make this Fan fiction make sense and not make a mess of the timeline and all that stuff. The characters personality are going to be hard. The agonizing thinking and decision if this persons personality is right will be long and suffering. And don't make me started on the blasted dialog! I both resent this story and take pleasure when I finish my work.
Anyway, the MC or my character will not be OP. It will take forever for him to be anywhere near OP-ish. This Fan Fiction will be long, with plenty of writing mistakes that will make you all resent me (And I will take pleasure of it). If and I use if lightly, you do find any writing mistakes. Please for everything that is holy, comment on the mistake so I may correct my story. God Knows I absolutely loath and hate Fan fiction that have writing mistakes. 
And finally Thank you for your time and effort for reading this Fan fiction and my thoughts out. God knows you hate me for delaying you the chapters. Maybe I'm doing it on purpose, to spite you lot. If you are offended by me using the 'G' word. Then ignore what you may call offensive to you and keep reading or don't read. I couldn't care less.

He was just a teenager when he walked down this path unknowingly. He was nothing more than a fool for denying fate. Yet, and yet his entire being denied it, he refused to accept this reality, and so he fought, and he endured, and then he waited. 
He waited and hoped. Hoped for a way out, hoped for a better tomorrow, and hoped. . .

If you didn't know, this fan fiction was made for the MLBB x Web Novel event and it, somehow, won 3rd place with my mediocre writing skills and with only 6 chapters uploaded. My school started while the contest was still ongoing thus I didn't have enough time to continue writing. My spare time was spent on my other hobbies. For these reasons, I only managed to produce 6 chapters. 

This was the first time I wrote a story, a fan fiction, a novel or whatever you'd like to call it. I was honestly surprised that it won. "Why would people like my story? This is the first time I wrote something like this, and people actually liked it?" I thought to myself. It sparked my interest for writing and I've been planning to continue working on this novel since then. But I never did because I got discouraged by my lack of 'writing skills' and writer's block, and the fact that this is just a fan fiction. 

But ultimately, after 6 whole months, I decided to take action. I wanted to write a novel, similar to the ones I've been reading for the past year. A part of me said, "But I have no writing experience. Even if you write, it won't be that good." A different part of me replied, "Well, maybe you could work on Master of Magic. You won't mind if it's bad, after all you said it's just a fan fic."

I've been working on this fan fiction for the past few weeks. Building the world, the characters, the plot, the magic system and all that stuff. Wth the upcoming Christmas break, I'll have enough time to write chapters for this fan fiction. The story will be different, and I'll start releasing them on 2020. And that's about it for the update, really. 

"Bu-but, why did you make this announcement? No one really cares."

Even if I wasn't writing, I've been using this application to read different novels and I constantly receive notifications about new collections (the count for people who saved this story in their library). And there are a lot of people who has this story saved in their collections. I'm a little bit skeptic and curious about it, so I just wanted to know if people actually saved this story in their collection. Maybe leave a comment to let me know? Heh.
