Hidden Emperor Of The Naruto World - Chapter 59
I know it’s not cool of me to come back to say I will rewrite my novel, but after all the research I did, I can’t for the love of me continue the aberration that I’m currently writing.
Rule number one for every novelist: “Show, don’t tell!”, is a rule that I completely butchered, by boring you out of your mind with the legendary info dump, which I mixed with a heavy dose of my protagonist thoughts, which gave nothing to the plot, nor his character development.
Worst of all, there are no real conflicts in my story: My MC is so ‘perfect’ and ‘knowledgeable’ that it’s completely boring. I wrote the story as someone who writes a typical wish fulfillment, with everything going in the way of the MC.
Furthermore, having every woman part of the MC’s harem is good and all (It’s every man’s dream), but it kills the story! Why? I will explain with those 2 situations
1)They are wronged, and the MC kills everyone with his so-called revenge. Revenge is an extremely good concept to write, but multiple it by x100 (100 women’s harem), and the MC will appear as a prick. And too much ‘romance’ kill the story, if the mc has to protect them each time, or kill everyone out of revenge.
2)They are MC’s waifu, so nobody can touch them (Nearly what I was going to do, and it’s BORING! But we write it because it’s so cliche to have the girls of the MC wronged and him going on a revenge journey. I’m not even going to talk about how it is impossible to write such a thing while developing their relationships. I appreciate big harems novels, but my goal is to better myself to write my own novel, and it’s clearly not doing that that I will progress the way I want)
And finally, MC power is… is a complete hax! Just some drops of blood can give him power, it’s completely rubbish! Not even speaking of the hyper intuition that I gave him out of nowhere because I thought it was cool…
My first novel with my protagonist as a slime would have been far more entertaining if I continued it, with the mc having to gobble up someone to take their power.
So, I now hesitate to restart my novel with a slime mc in Minato’s timeline, or creating a new one in Madara and Hashirama timeline. Like in the commentary section and I will work on it!
And don’t worry, I will not abandon you dear readers, after all, if I don’t train my writing I will always be a mediocre writer 🙂
