I'm Invincible Now?

Sorry. Looks like I've overestimated myself. I didn't plot things out and just went with it. So naturally, the power system collapsed half way. The direction of the story became chaotic and confusing. The storyline became flat. MC's goals, character, and actions lost definition. I had difficulties continuing, and I started to question myself: What the heck am I writing? What am I trying to achieve through writing? Is this really the story I want to present? The answer is no. And then I realized that I am here to provide entertainment. Anyways, that's all excuses. Can't cover the fact that I messed up and let you guys down. I am sorry. But I'm not giving up! Currently reading lots of guides, watching videos that teach teaching skills, got a part-time job, and starting to put my time into a detailed outline. If I have a super detailed outline, the story won't collapse right? Will be back in sometime. Making a legit outline actually takes a long time. So maybe Jan 2021? Until then.

A Shameless Self-Promotion!

1. New Book Released!

Hey guys. Long time no see! I'm back =)

Over the last few months, I spent some time learning the craft. Now I know what I'm supposed to do.

I've started a new story called <I Click to Level Up!>

It's an urban fantasy involving monster hunting, magical realm exploration, and endless adventurers.

Some tags include: [System], [Level Up], [Action], [Adventure], [Magic], [Fantasy]

You know. Erhm. What's hot on the market.

This time, I actually plotted out the events in every single arc. There isn't much plot design left. I just have to follow the detailed plot and write now. So this time, I'm pretty confident in finishing the story.

Hope to see you guys there!

2. Regarding <I'm Invincible Now?>

Yeah... After learning the craft a bit, looking back, I can see a lot of problems with this story now.

The characters were not very well defined. Even the Main Character was kind of meh. Got no shining spots.

The plot was a little random, because I was writing by my gut-feelings. The power system was completed half-way in. I was trying to make a discussion on a variety of ideas. Clearly, that's more than a newbie like me could handle.

Like they say:

'If you shoot for the moon, the people around will raise a brow at you.'

'Why... did you do that?'

Yeah. It was a messy but humbling experience. I know what I'm capable of now.

So my solution:

I'll keep the core of the story, which are the elements of world hopping, original worlds, and invincible MC. Then I'll redo the rest of the basic settings.

In order for this to work, I'll have to spend some time to study the endless (world-hopping) genre and the invincible MC genre.

Will need some inspirations too. Cause invincible MC stories are not easy to write.

All in all, hope to see you guys soon! ^ ^

...

More details about fixing this story:

The mainstream way is invincible MC + daily life + side character focus. But I'm not that good at writing about daily life.

Or it could be invincible MC + constant world-level threats + MC's followers. But how do you world hop with that?

Or just go with fan-fic. All the characters are well known already. Put the focus on 'MC to well-known character interactions'. And jump around well-known worlds. But I don't do fan-fics.

Welp. Gonna figure something out.
