So far, this book is weird in the most enjoyable way imaginable. I love how the very beginning feels like this cohesive, fast-paced onslaught of absurd events - just pausing to let me catch my breath and then, on we go, something happens. Rather original, this tale mixes the bizarre with the flashy and cool stuff, and it kept me very entertained. Added to my library. By the way, the worldbuilding and the descriptions of infrastructure in the very beginning - great stuff. I love it when an author thinks of the consequences of worldbuilding.

LIKE* For more idea to use, especially the first one: --------------------- + Sometime you need to show certain trump card of your to get certain benefit/prevent something there, for example in certain novel, one of your friend have get a dangerous ability that basically make other losing their life span and potential for further strenght there, and other faction, especially the enemy don't want to face it in the fight in the future (and currently that friend didn't joint any strong faction to have a backing aside from the mc group), so they try to assasinate him, but since the mc managed to make a teleport item that ignore all space restriction, and although he plan to hide this trump card, but notice the situation, he plan to deliberately show this card when rescure his friend, so now other can't do it now since that friend can just escape any time when they try to do so (even with trap that prevent normal teleporting), oh and don't forgot that friend are at least strong enough to not get one shoot/capture right away so he still can disappear easily. Basically it good to keep the trump card for emergency, but something you need to reveal it to gain benefit or for deterent again other from making similar thing like that again. ----------------------------------------------------- + Another idea is some certain event, although it seem like someone are planning beind to cause trouble, but when go to the source of it, the mc end up noticed that it was a unintened accident/butter fly effect. The example here is a wave of 4 arm monkey suddenly come to this region and attack the local (the thing is they should only in the way eastern side of forest instead of here), we thought it was a conspiracy (since one of the mc ally was in that region and get attacked, and they need reinforce), but in the end after the mc group try to figure out, they finally notice that the reason those monkey beast do a mass migration here is because the faction on the other side was expanding (and have nothing to do with this attacked local or mc group), and end up take over/over hunting this monkey Ecosystem, so they forced to move to other place due to that consequence/butter fly effect. So basically it a coincident, not all the events have to be around/about the mc or conspirecy thing, the mc could be just happen to be there, too many novel keep make the universe bend and go around the mc and not the opposite
_ In case you need more idea for social/psycholophy stuff and romance thing, I suggest you check this from my old draft (nothing personal, it was for other author at that time): ---------------------------------------- (Most of the channel 'Psych2Go' video are for get better idea in diagnosis mental illness, and aware about social/how they behavior, so take a grain of salt since even if you have 1 sign of toxic of all 10 doesn't mean you are fully toxic, and the opposite are also true, this depend from case to case), and since this site don't allow link so I post youtube video name instead: ------------------------------------------------------ _ '10 Things "Nice Guys" Always Do WRONG' (10:50 long, from topthink channel) --------------------------------------------------------- _'7 Signs You May Not Be Ready for a Relationship' (6:03 long, especially number 3 and 4, where it more like you consider her a 'project' to be rescued/fixed the emotion damage instead of someone you want to be in a relationship with, as friend or lover. If That the case when you try to 'ship' the mc with her.)---------------------------------------------_ '12 Signs You're in an Unhealthy Relationship' (5:16 long, especially number 5, because relationship is about invest and sharing burden from both side, not one sided way, which a lot of those who have no idea about how relationship work think that way, because if it just one sided way, even if it man or woman, that is take advance of someone. Don't forget that there are more than just 'lover/wife' for 'relationship', there are still relationship as friend, family, brother and sister, even if blood or not blood related)--------------------------------------------------------- _ '12 Signs You're in a Healthy Relationship' (5:15 long. Now that how to have a good relationship, also note, if you note this and the video above do mention about 'Argue' part, try to listen the video fully, because the above is for case where you argue all the time, even meaniless/small thing, while other is for trying to understand each other, try to express their own feeling and their own view, and to prevent from bottling up your feeling too much that it turn to resentment)
In short, what are you trying to tell me?
If you read my first comment before the other reply you can see that I just only want to share some good writing tips and material there, though if you not see it, maybe the site change the reply order ? (since you are reply to my latest reply instead of first one). --------------------- That all, nothing more (For a bit of topic order, my first reply are recommend of post/youtube channel to check out, which I recommend check 'terrible writing advice' first, then the second reply are idea/technique for plotting in the story like 'when to save and when to use trump cards', the third reply are about good channel for more idea about social/psychology that you can use for character or real life)
