The intro is SOLID. Welcome to the freaking jungle here. The timestamps in the chapter titles too? Immediately had me interested!

Iron Katsumada is already leading the gym with his sheer power and charisma 🤣 ...but wait. They just left him there?! 😭 Without a spotter?! Isn't that incredibly dangerous?? (For a moment I thought this might be where the great Isekai truck--i mean, barbell, would fall 🤣 but then I remembered that wasn't the genre!)

Now Katsu fights the weight of that last rep while juggling everything else he (doesn't) want to do 😂 I never thought I'd relate so much to a gym metaphor.

But oh? A...lady of the night? Curious to see where this goes 🤣 I'm assuming not to where we think!

Thank you so much!! 🤗 It's going to be a ridiculous journey (dare I say, maybe a bit heartfelt with a splash of drama~ 😉) but I hope to see you around!!

That is how so much of my writing goes 🤣 ❤️ it is very much "This plot is going all kinds of unpredictable zig-zag directions, but I think I like it anyway!!" Thank you for checking it out 🫶

Sounds like that planning time was super helpful then!! 🤩 And just what you needed!

I know each writer is a little different when it comes to how much they plan out a story. I have a close friend who has to outline her stories down to finite details: Point A (subplots of point A, directional message, story beats, then leading to...) Point B (more subplots, overarching goals, talking about middle and end). She'll also have detailed character spreadsheets, inspiration boards, and basically a whole outline whiteboard for the story.

While I'm more...a wing-it type 🤣 I plan a little. I made a bullet-point list of major plot points I wanted to hit for my story (* Jun meets Claire and goes to another world. * Sees another version of his ex-gf * Takes her on a date, but it fails at first. * Tries again, more successful. * Hint at Claire backstory * Childhood friend rival arc?) These are my literal notes 🤣🤣 I just put in a childhood friend arc with a question mark. My vague story plotting drives my friend up a wall, she doesn't get how I do it. So I'm not recommening it by any means 🤭 (my vague-plan style of writing has its drawbacks!) But just to highlight the differences in writing styles!

So it's good to know what works for you, and adapt to that! I'm excited to see where this new plan leads and how the story beats will change going forward! If you have a clearer vision then I'm so hyped :D

Chained Regalia

Chapter:18

Jul 19, 2023

A prince with no elemental magic, in a magic-powered world! But with Lucius having shield magic...maybe that means Prince Flavius secretly has some other sort of power!

Oooh and he does! The assassin attack awoke it in him. But I would say teleporting can be WAY cooler than elemental magic 😁 but hmm! The prince wants to keep it a secret even though it could save his reputation? Interesting.

But uh oh, a devasting event awaits! Certainly an interesting start to this story :D I hope you'll have fun writing it!

Saki is scared of thunder, but falling asleep next to Minoru makes her feel better 🥺💕 so cute!! I wonder how Minoru feels though, being next to a girl he thought was gone for so long...

Saki's dad is here to make good on that threat from earlier!!! 😂 (If they're all spirits though, I wonder if he really needs to be so protective? XD) Wait! Oh! It was a dream. A dream that's about to be a reality again though 🤣 oh no!! Quick, Saki explain things!

He won an emerald-pearl dragon princess in a fantasy fish-catch game 😭😭 Minoru might have the luck of the gods! ...or, Azu-chan chose him~ 😁

Every part of Minoru is a life orb, huh? 🤔 Is that because he's a living person in the realm of spirits? Or something else? Hmm~

"I just want to be with Saki" 😂 oh gosh. I hope Azurillia doesn't take that too literally and uh...make Minoru have the Big Sleep. (Preferably we can maybe give Saki a Second Life instead 💕)

Oops!! 🤭 Minoru just accidentally made a dragon princess his familiar, it looks like! This is a fun development, I'm excited for how Azu will help this relationship!

Tired out after all that festival fun...now we get to see Saki's home here in this world. And honestly I'm so curious!!

Her mother and father are here too?! And Minoru recognizes them, so it has to be her real parents! They also died to the serial killer that's right :( oh gosh and the mention of Minoru's passed grandmother. Definitely getting worried we're in the afterlife here 💔

The dragon fish can talk?! :D it can spin and glow and---transform into a girl?! :O

Apolocheep sound amazing and also like they could snap a person 😄 And fire dancers controlling flame dragons?! Minoru is in a totally new world here!! But I really love this setting. The moonlighting of the clothing shop just sounds so beautiful!! Maybe it's because fantasy is my favorite genre 💕 but I feel like you're really having fun with descriptions in this novel. It reminds me of a Miyazaki movie 😁

He caught the dragon-fish for her! ❤️ And they're enjoying their festival date!! But I still have to wonder...is Saki alive? Or is this just a temporary escape where the realms of the living and the dead are closer together, and Minoru can briefly visit her world?

I'm super excited to see the cover art!! And any other supplemental art you upload! :D (Obviously art isn't required to enjoy a work, but I just enjoy being able to share a visual image!! It makes me sad sometimes that western literature has sort of drifted away from the 1800s style of including illustrations alongside the pages every now and again! But... I'm also a manga fan >w> so clearly I like pictures hehe.)

And yes!! It's totally valid not to want to use AI tools! I could go on a long rant about copyright problems and even more than that 😂

"There is no escape from reality" 😭 omg this escape room show name. That is both #TooReal and also an amazingly ominous show title!! I'm immediately so ready for this.

Hikaru, Hai, and Yada all ended up on the show!! :D but somehow I didn't expect garden-shop owner Akina-chan and Big Boss Tencho-san to be here too!! 🤣 (I know Tencho means boss in Japanese. Please tell me Akina means Gardener.)

Hika(Ru) is immediately interested in those vacuum shoes. Quality-of-life gadget detected!!

Yada succeeds in button pressing by doing absolutely nothing and laying down 😌 as it should be ✨

Akina x Tencho-san is the ship I didn't know I wanted, but I now support it 💐

Omg this escape room has me in tears from laughter 🤣 they are resolving most everything by accident! And then yada kicks a statue and they are attacked by...40 debt collector Aztecs!!! Ahahahaa!!! How do you come up with this?! This is amazing! And an intervention from Tencho's bakery gang disqualifies them 😭 no vacuum shoes for Ru-chan.

This chapter was SO fun! I loved the voice-caster narration style. This is almost surreal comedy, but it's absolutely amazing.

Ooooh that moment of being stuck in a car with a classmate's mom 😂 it's so uncomfortable, even if you're grateful to them for driving!

But a message for help?? From Toyo? 😨 Uh oh. What has our Main-Character-Energy guy gotten himself into?!

Straw hat scene definitely stood out 🤩 I could tell!! Have you considered using any AI tools (or dollmakers) to generate some sketches for your characters? I'd love to see how you imagine them, even if it's only a close idea!!

I liked the play! :D But I'm just a reader here! I know what it's like to be the author and wish for a scene to turn out better 🤣 (I have many in my own story.)

It might be something you aim to rewrite a little bit later, since you felt like you had to rush it. I think it's okay to accept a scene as "so-so" and at least get it written so it doesn't prevent you from continuing forward! And then maybe go back later, and see where you want to edit 😁

The cats woke him up!! 🐾 I want to have a cat alarm system 😁 (or wait, maybe I don't 🤣 I used to have pet cats when I was younger and I remember them being very loud!)

English teacher? :( She looks like Martha, but said her name was Mariana. Twins? Or was Martha told not to teach Portuguese? :(((
(eles definitivamente precisam as aulas de português 😁 essas aulas eram mais divertidas!)

Neo is taking a bath in the river!! But Saya sees him 🫣 that necklace lie was very smart!

Now he gets to go to Saya's house 😁 and take a bath!! But it makes him sad because of his amnesia :( Saya and her mom can talk about fun childhood days, but Neo can't.

...But now he and Saya can make new memories together!! ✨

A second upload!!! I almost missed it but I'm glad I didn't :D

Kazuma: I'm only doing this if we *don't* give it a dumb secret codename.
Rika: .... (´｡• ω •｡`) lovey-dovey?

Grilled cheese and tomato soup!! Maybe strange for Japan, but it's practically a custom in the US 😄 I wonder if Rika ever visited overseas?

🤭 Jumping right to the kiss? I guess they could!! Oh my gosh this is so cute and adorable, they're trying their best but it's so... awkward, yet genuine. Honestly I feel like this is how way more first kisses go than the romantic "perfect kisses" in most movies 🤣 that double CUT!! was just perfect. 💕
