Hey.
Before you dive in, let me get a few things out of the way.
First off, yeah. I know what you're thinking. "Author's POV ripoff." And you know what? You're not completely wrong. I got inspiration from that book. I also got inspiration from The Novel's Extra, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, and a dozen other stories in this genre.
But here's the thing. Inspiration isn't plagiarism. I'm not copying plot beats or characters. I'm taking a concept I loved and doing something different with it. This isn't about a guy trying to save his characters or fix his story. This is about revenge. Pure, cold, calculated revenge. My MC isn't a hero. He's not even an anti-hero. He's a villain, and he's got every reason to be one.
Second thing. The first 30 chapters or so are going to be slow. I know, I know. "Slow burn" is code for "boring" half the time. But I need to establish the world, the power system, the stakes. I need you to understand why this guy is the way he is. I need you to feel the weight of what happened to him before he starts tearing shit apart. That said, once we get past the foundation, things are going to get brutal. Fast.
Third. Updates. I'll be posting regularly because this is literally how I make a living. Writing is my job, and I take it seriously. I'm not going to ghost you for six months or drop the story halfway through. I'm in this for the long haul, and I hope you are too.
Fourth. Reviews. Leave them. Good, bad, whatever. I'll read them. I'll respond when I can. If you've got questions, ask. If you've got criticism, I can take it. Just don't be disrespectful about it. We're all here because we love stories. Let's keep it civil.
Alright. That's enough from me.
Let's get into it.
Welcome to Author's POV
Enjoy the ride.
