Story: Great, good worldbuilding, nice concept Development: Good, MC actually loses sometimes, side characters have their own lives and personality. World Background: I'm pretty sure the concept of Fixers, Urban Myths, Urban Legends, Urban Plagues, the whole ranking system, and some of the factions are based off of Library of Ruina, a video game.

Wrote this from a mix of late-night chaos, emotion, and way too much love for urban legends. It’s messy, intense, and personal—but I’m proud of it. Hope you enjoy the ride. – D. Plattypenguin 🐧

Shameless 5-Star review ;). This "novel" is all about urban legends that at first come from an old man. The tellers will change over time and, so will the listeners. Spoiler: The first urban legend is something you've probably heard already. Did someone call you and tell you about it when you were babysitting? I don't have an actual writing schedule and will write when I can.
