I'm writing a LN! (ani.social)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by Mercuri@ani.social to c/lightnovels@ani.social
 

Hey Bookworms! So... I've sorta been writing my own LN. It's an isekai with some LitRPG elements without turning into spreadsheet porn.

I'm maybe 1/5th of the way done with book one but I'm starting to get those nagging brainworms.

You know, like, "Ugh, what am I even doing. Is anyone even going to enjoy this?"

My IRL friends don't read much and even if they do they don't read isekai and don't understand the tropes (eg. "Hey, why isn't this guy freaking out 24/7 about being in another world?")

So... plz read my book and tell me what you think? uwu

Title is WIP. Most everything else is not, although I might tweak a few things later. And yes, this book cover is AI... I absolutely will NOT use AI for the final version but I wanted something to keep my mind focused.

Have you considered posting it to royalroad, scribblehub, or a similar site?

[–] Mercuri@ani.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have not. I just started writing and now I'm here. I do eventually want to put it out there but haven't thought that far ahead yet.

Maybe it's the wrong approach but I thought I'd get more written before I posted anywhere. Plus so far I've been going back and making changes to earlier chapters so I'm not sure how that works with sites like you mentioned.

At least on scribble hub you mostly edit spelling and grammar mistakes. Not major plot points.

I have seen a re-write of the whole book, and the old version marked as draft.

The appreciating comments will come on those platforms, so your motivation will be fuelled.

Neat! Sounds like I should definitely check those out.
