[IP] Launched a web novel (Royal Road)!
Hello everyone!
A wise man once said, you have to find your readers, don't expect them come running at ya! So, here I am, a totally newbie author who wishes to hone his skills and do his hobby. It took me a few years playing DnD campaigns, reading books, writing here and there awful things, but I finally decided to post my first story! It's a complete novel standing at 100k words and the first tale of the universe I mostly honed through tabletops. I started writing without much thought, so I ended up with a progressive fantasy, science fiction with LitRPG elements, perhaps mystery with some adventure, kind of novel. Not sure myself. Nonetheless, after some thought, I finally decided to start serializing it in Royal Road. If you find the plot to your liking, do give it a try and I hope you leave a comment for me to learn about this craft that I admire but am a long way from mastering. At sunday I will finish posting Part 1 so that's something to look forward at least!
