So I need to get better so I'm making a jumble of different writings I do. if you like a particular chapter feel free to tell me or start your own off of it. If any of you would be so kind to give me any advice I will gladly take it.

Hey, it's me for probably the last writing this kind of thing, however there a few things I wish to address. 

- I would like to apologize for the empty promises I made at the starting of this book, as I was kinda confused with what I wanted. 

However after some thinking and asking for advice I finally made a decision which is to writing books until I can become a professional writer, however I will still be I school, so much has changed. 

Some of your'll might be wondering why I tell you'll these things is because your care about my books and they are a extention to myself in a way. So I thought it's better that I inform your'll about my struggles and ideas. 

-NOW very important part about the book and its proceedings. FORGET EVERYTHING I TOLD u about the book including the chapter releasing dates, because  changed alot of things in the book that it's almost not the same book and because of this I will be posting at random times until I got a good lot of advanced chapters, so really sorry for that. 

- WARNING: the book now has some sexual content, however not too much only where it's necessary because am writing a story not porn. 

There will be some scene that will upset some readers which is why I warn you now about this things, like slavery, ****, death, gore and others 

However there will not be too many of those things but don't be surprised when they show up. 

-Any advice is still appreciated on how to improve my writing, however change will probably happen in 5-20 chapters. 

-As you have noticed the title of the book has to Rise Of The Swarm because I reincarnated as a Zerg was too generic.

After Nathan and Roxie had come back into the house; Nathan decided to give Roxie her own private tour of the band's house. So Nathan decided to show Roxie the lower main level of the house since that was the main level Roxie was going to be staying throughout the most part of her stay. Now as Roxie was being shown the guest bedroom; Roxie was surprised of how huge the guest bedroom was. In fact the room was probably about the same size as her apartment back in New York.
"So this room is usually used by our personal assistant; which is you, of course. It's not much, but at least you're close to the downstairs bathroom, media room, laundry room and basically every other room that is down here. There is also another set of stairs that goes upstairs, which is meant to only be used by you or any of our other members of my band's management team. Besides that; I think that is everything, unless you want the band's schedule. I can probably get either Calvin or Landon to print a schedule out for you." Nathan told her.
"No; I think I just want to unpack my stuff for right now. Besides; I don't think you boys have a schedule." Roxie said.
"Wow; who would have known that a girl like yourself could tell if someone was lying. That is a pretty good instinct that you've got there." Nathan laughed. 
"Thanks; I've come to use that instinct in many ways, especially when it came to my previous relationships." Roxie admitted. 
"Well, all I have to say is that I'm so happy I'm not one of those arseholes because I'd be totally nuts if I would even want to consider getting back in a relationship with you," Nathan chuckled. "So; in that case, is there anything I can do for you Ms. Rodriguez?" he asked. 
"No, but if you have time can you and the rest of the boys come down to the living room for a mini band meeting? I just want to know what tasks I need to deal with first before I get my hands dirty." Roxie asked. 
"Sure thing; I'll go tell the boys right now." Nathan smiled. 
"Cool; thanks Nathan." Roxie replied. 
After a while had passed, Roxie came out of the guest bedroom and walked towards the living room. Around the same time; Paul, Calvin and Landon were playing video games while Nathan was on his laptop on the kitchen table. 
"Hey, look who decided to stay with us after all." Paul pointed out to the other three boys as Roxie was walking into the living room. 
"I thought you said you were not going to be our personal assistant." Calvin told her. 
"I wasn't, but your buddy Nathan here somehow convinced me to stay and well; here I am." Roxie replied. 
"Well; on behalf of me and the boys, we're happy that you have considered staying here as our soon to be new personal assistant." Landon told her. 
"Hold on; what do you guys mean by 'soon to be'? Doesn't your manager know about-Nathan, please tell me that you called your manager and that you told him about who is your guys' new personal assistant." Roxie stated. 
"Well, I wouldn't put it in that way-." Nathan admitted. 
"NATHAN?!" Roxie shrieked. 
"Look, if you want to get this job, you're going to have to prove to Scott that you're capable of not only planning out our promotions and appearances but also with helping the four of us out on any given tasks." Nathan explained. 
"So you're saying that in order for me to be your boys' personal assistant I have to prove to Scott how I can handle working under pressure?" Roxie restated. 
"How good are you writing songs for an upcoming album?" Nathan asked. 
"I'm pretty good; it's not one of my best qualities of writing, but I'm willing to take one for the team." Roxie replied. 
"Good, because that is the task the four of us have right now while Scott is away on his little business trip. So far me, Calvin and Landon have at least one song from each of us halfway done," Paul told Roxie as he was handing her some song sheets. "Do you think you will be able to get all of the songs done on time before Scott gets back from his business trip?" he asked her. Roxie looked at the lyrics that were in front of her. The songs weren't really that bad, in her taste. As long as the boys helped her out with her writing career, everything was going to be fine. 
"This may be one of the biggest challenges that I have ever done in all of my writing experience but as long as the task involves some writing I think I will survive." Roxie sighed. 
"So, is that a yes?" Landon asked. 
"Yes, Landon; I'm saying yes to helping you boys out in writing your next album." Roxie smiled. Then all four boys started to jump and scream at each other. 
As the day dragged on, Roxie spent most of her time on her laptop listening to a multitude of Fifth Avenue Square songs. For the most part, most of the songs had a pop rock, edgy sound mixed with some folk music. However; Roxie realized that most of the band's songs were either about falling in love, a break up or moving on from a relationship. All of a sudden there was a knock on the bedroom door. 
"Come in." Roxie said. The door opened and Calvin walked into the room with a tray of food. 
"Hey; I thought you might be a little bit hungry so I brought you some lunch." Calvin told her. 
"Aww; that's very sweet of you Calvin. Thank you." Roxie said. 
"So; what are you doing?" 
"I'm trying to get a sense of what you boys want your new album to sound like once you guys release it. So far all I'm getting is this pop rock folk music vibe." Roxie explained. 
"Hmm, that must sound like a ton of fun. Can I ask you about something?" Calvin asked. 
"Sure; what's up?" 
"Ok; so I have somewhat started writing some of my second song that I'm supposed to do so for the next album and I was wondering if you could help me out with the first verse and the chorus?" Calvin explained. 
"Yeah, let's hear what you've got so far on the song." Roxie told him. Calvin then opened his little notebook, grabbed one of the band's guitars that was near them and started to sing the song. From Roxie's point of view; the song wasn't entirely that bad. In fact, the song was amazing. When Calvin was done singing, Roxie gave him a little applause. 
"Calvin; that song was pretty good." Roxie said. 
"Really; you thought the song was good?" 
"Are you kidding; that was probably one of the very few good songs that I have heard from you boys in a while. I do have to admit though that there are a few changes that you have to make, but overall I do believe that if you boys have Scott listen to this song; I guarantee you boys that this song will definitely be a hit single." Roxie stated. 
"Well; it's a good thing I came to you right now. So what parts of the song do I need to fix?" Calvin asked her. Roxie then grabbed a pen and a piece of paper that was next to her and both her and Calvin started to work on the song together. The two of them worked on the song for almost 2 hours. When the song was nearly finished, Roxie then had Calvin play the whole song on the guitar again. 
"Are you sure; I mean, the song is almost finished." Calvin told her. 
"Look, the only way you guys are ever going to find out if the songs are going to be major hit singles is if you boys play it out at this point right now. Trust me when I tell you this; my best friend who also happens to be my room mate is a singer songwriter too and she has even come up to me for some lyrical advice. I keep giving her the same advice that I'm giving to you right now so that in the future, for the next few albums that you boys will be making; all four of you can go back to the song and make some changes on your own." Roxie explained. 
"Alright; if you say so. Here goes nothing." Calvin said. Calvin then started to sing the song and throughout the performance; Roxie was encouraging him and guiding Calvin in the right direction. Once Calvin got close to the end of the song; he simply added the last part of the song all on his own without any help from Roxie. When Calvin realized what he had done, he looked at Roxie with complete shock and amazement. 
"Wow; I can't believe I just did that right now." Calvin gasped. 
"See; I told you that this trick will help you finish the song and I've go to say; that ending was incredible." Roxie told him. 
"Well, all thanks to you, I'm finally finished with the two songs that I had to do for the album. How could I ever thank you for this?" 
"There's no need to thank me. You came to me for some help and I offered it to you with some helpful advice. Besides; helping you boys out with at least one of the tasks you have been given from Scott is guaranteed proof in order for me to be your guys' new personal assistant." Roxie stated. 
"Yeah; I guess you do have a point. It's just in the past I always had a hard time with completing an original song because I was afraid that my ideas for a particular song weren't that good enough for the band's image. Now with the help from the advice that you have given me today; I feel more confident within myself to show the other boys what I got for this next album." Calvin told her. 
"Well; I'm happy that you came to me for some help, but I also want you to go to Paul, Landon or Nathan for some advice too. You four boys are not only just a band, but also a team and bands that work together as a team gain that encouragement and success in their music career. If you boys stick to that aspect, I am positive that you guys will be a huge threat to the music business." Roxie stated. 
"You know; it's a good thing that Nathan found you at this point in the band's career. You seem to always know what to say or do whenever it comes to situations like this one." Calvin smiled. 
"Hey, it's like I mentioned earlier; I had a ton of experience with these situations with my roommate. Anyway, I think I'm going to rest for a few minutes. All of this songwriting has made me exhausted." Roxie yawned. Calvin then hugged Roxie and thanked her again and went to the kitchen. When Calvin entered the kitchen, both Paul and Landon were watching some television. 
"Hey dude; what were you doing in Roxie's room?" Landon asked him. 
"Oh, nothing much; I was just asking Roxie for some advice on the second song I was writing for our next album and by the looks of things, I think I'm the first one to finish with both of my songs." Calvin replied. When Landon and Paul had heard this; they stopped what they were doing and rushed over to where Calvin was standing. 
"Holy crap, Calvin; these songs are amazing!" Paul said. 
"Thanks dude; and you could thank Roxie for the help. She's incredible at this type of stuff. It's no wonder that she wants to be an author; she's got the talent to prove it." Calvin pointed out. 
"You've got that right. Now I want to ask her for some help in my songwriting." Landon admitted. 

"Well, it's a good thing Roxie is staying with us for some time because once she gets her writing career started; Roxie will probably be gone before we even know it." Calvin stated. Then Calvin went back upstairs to his room while Paul and Landon rushed over to the guest bedroom.

Roxie Rodriguez thought she had a normal life. Its not until a recent trip to the UK where she is saved and assisted my none other than English pop rock band Fifth Avenue Square in her life long dream of becoming an author. Along the way; Roxie makes new friends and develops feelings for a certain member of the band. Will Roxie's dream of becoming an author become a reality or will she hold out for a whirlwind romance with a rebellious pop star?

The title tells the gist of it.
I decided to release every chapter I have in stock because I have a problem with the writing process that I need some help with. So, if you're sitting there and wondering why the author just exploded... Then please read the rest of this!

There is only one reason! I have lost all motivation/ideas for this story. The more I think about it, the surer I become that I should have ended it after One Piece. Because as it stands now, I have absolutely no idea what to write. It's like I lost it all! The more time I go without writing, the harder it becomes, and whenever I sit down to write, I get nothing...

And, this is where you people come in (hopefully). I started writing this Fairy tail volume because so many people longed for that Cana meeting, etc... But, I have no idea where to take things from here. That's why I'm gonna ask you fine folk to help me if this story is to continue... Please donate to my ******* to see this story through!!! JK

 For real this time! I would very much appreciate it if you could tell me what you'd like to see in this story from now on. I know I preach a lot about never taking advice from readers because that will mess up the flow and whatnot. But, I'm at the end of my rope here. I have no idea what to write, and I suspect if I don't write something soon, I'm gonna lose all motivation I have and just end the story where it is now, which is disappointing to say the lease.

Please leave any advice/suggestions on where to take this story or I'm just gonna end it. Because I realize I will never finish this alone. It's simply impossible for me to do!

Love, Vallori

Have A Wonderful Day!

* The Elder

- What COMMAND did John give to the recipient of the Letter? [5-6]
Replace "dear lady" with your name in verse 5 and personalised it. Imagine John is writing to you.

1. verse 5 - So now I urge you, Dear Mia—not as if I were writing you a new command, but one we have had from the beginning—that we love one another. 6 - And this is love: that we walk according to His commands. This is the command as you have heard it from the beginning: you must walk in love.[c]

- What WARNING did John give to the recipient of the letter? [7-9]
Why do you think this warning is important to us today?

2. verse 7 - Many deceivers have gone out into the world; they do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh.[d] This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 - Watch yourselves so you don't lose what we[e] have worked for, but that you may receive a full reward. 9 - Anyone who does not remain in Christ's teaching but goes beyond it, does not have God. The one who remains in that teaching, this one has both the Father and the Son.

***The warning is important to us because we need to distinguish which one is from God and which one is from antichrist.

- What ADVICE did John give to the recipient of the letter? [10-11]
How will you apply this advice in your personal life?

3. verse 10 - If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home, and don't say, "Welcome," to him; 11 -  for the one who says, "Welcome," to him shares in his evil works.

***this Advice is important to us because we should know what to do to someone who wants to come to our life but he didn't walk his faith in Christ.

What verse made an impact to you today?

4. the verse made an impact to me today, (as I remembered last night) --- verse 10-11, " If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home, and don't say, "Welcome," to him;  for the one who says, "Welcome," to him shares in his evil works."

I've never been the dependable type of individual despite being a Mercenary...

When I was young, my father forced me to be a Swordsman so I could apply to become a Mercenary. However, I just couldn't find passion in combat.

I don't know how other guys my age can stand the sight of violence... It's so scary...! Especially when you see how Mercenaries kill without remorse...

"Here's another subject we want you to study." An experienced member of the Mercenary Guild spoke while putting the corpse of a wolf on the table.

"Isn't this the third strange specimen today?" I asked the woman confusedly.

"The activity of the Beast Race has been acting up recently... and it almost seems like Dragons are... well... they are..." She blushed while not being able to put the words out of her mouth.

"Yeah... I get it. You don't have to say it." I stopped her there since this really wasn't a topic I wanted to get into with my benefactor. I wouldn't even have the profession of studying Beasts for a living if it wasn't for her showing the advantages of knowing Beast Biology.

Her name was Jenna and she was an old member of the Mercenary Guild who had quite a mature air around her as a veteran Mercenary with great contributions to the Guild itself.

Although she wasn't any older than thirty, just like I am now after giving up the path of swordsmanship... her looks and appearance really made others think of her as a 'true' Army Breaker.

What they didn't know is that her personality was a lot more timid than what she lets on... They misinterpret her shy behaviour as paranoia...

Not that I blame them considering her sharp eyes and scars from countless battles she had taken part in her long career. I feel that it's difficult to NOT feel sympathy towards her since she had a really rough childhood compared to my own... An orphan who joined the Guild at a young age to survive...

Getting back to the main point, I really can't understand the Dragon Race...!

Despite being proud magical creatures who think they are literally 'above' others (pun intended), they actually decide to fly over to the Dark Forests all over Sphera just to find... partners.

I know their True Attribute of the Fire Element causes them to have higher passion than others, but is it really necessary for them to leave their offspring everywhere...? They don't even care about what Race it is as long as it's of the opposite gender to them.

I'm speechless... Why did the Human Sovereign allow them to migrate to Sphera again...? Is ability to mimic their Attribute really that great?

"You must be tired. Please sit down and rest before you go. Don't worry about disturbing me since this won't take long." I said while starting my analysis of the Beast using tools at my disposal.

I cut the skin of the Dragon Wolf on a large table while also isolating the smell of the bloodied corpse so that it wouldn't cause Jenna discomfort.

Killing a Dragon Wolf is one thing while disposing of the body is another.

It's best to let a professional like me handle jobs like studying dead Beasts.

"How has compounding details regarding the weaknesses of various Beasts worked out? Has anyone bullied you?" She asked while relaxing herself.

"Not really. Everything has been going well after helped me get this job." A smile curved onto my face as the gratefulness I had towards her spilled out. There aren't many genuinely kind people in the world and finding someone who would help out a guy in need is like looking for Phoenixes.

"You praise me too much. You're skill in biology is what allowed many Mercenaries to survive in this chaotic world. Especially with how you have helped share knowledge on how to easier hunt other species." Jenna laughed it off as if it was no big deal.

Perhaps many would think that Humans were over-hunting Beasts considering the number of Mercenaries who made a living off selling materials that can be obtained from them.

However, as someone who studied Beasts and magical creatures of other species for a living... There's no way I wouldn't know that Humanity hasn't even slightly damaged the total amount of Beasts being produced over the years. Their numbers are the highest among every Race living on Sphera.

I can't help but admire their dreadful fertility rate... Beasts live in the sky, sea, on land and even within the magma underground. There wasn't one place in the world Beasts haven't reached. The same couldn't be said for humanity though since it took a long time for Humans to adapt to their lower Mana purity compared to Beasts.

Now in the modern era of Sphera, the number of Humans hadn't increased by all that much since there were many dying from dangerous magical creatures all over the world. This is despite how none of the other Races hadn't tried to eliminate humanity.

The five Neutral Factions created by the Elemental Races that have now migrated to Sphera might not actively hunt Humans but the danger they impose from carelessly killing off Humans couldn't be ignored. This is especially true for the Beast Race who instinctively crave Human meat.

Us Humans seem to be a delicacy for Beasts in particular... That's why the Mercenary Guild never runs out of requests to hunt Beasts in the area.

"When is your birthday anyway?" I asked carelessly since there wasn't anything else we could talk about. I'm not exactly the kind of lady's man who knew how to entertain the opposite sex.

"Tomorrow." I stopped dismantling the Beast she delivered momentarily after hearing her words... It looks like I don't have extra money to buy her a gift.

The payments I've been getting for my services as a researcher of Beasts have always been going my research project regarding the implanting of Beast DNA into a Human to create a Chimera.

Of course my research hasn't been going very well considering the incompatibility of the Light Mana Humans possess and the Dark Mana all manner of Beasts possess upon birth.

Beasts have a nature of devouring Ether while Humans learn ways in which to control it. I can't help but imagine the amount of money I'd be able to receive upon completing it~

Gold~ Gold~ Mountain of Gold~!

Who in their right minds don't love the scene of gold coins forming a river~?

I made some more small talk with Jenna before making my way to the notice board where 'Missions' would be posted. The branch of the Mercenary Guild I became a part of has been getting bad reputation due to certain misfits getting into trouble with the Drakeyol Kingdom's authorities but I'm sure it's not as bad at it sounds~!

After all, there are some really nice guys who work as Mercenaries that I have come to appreciate over the years as a specialised Beast Biologist!

"Harry~! How's work been lately?" I called out to a guy I recognised who was drinking himself to death with some of his close companions.

"Terrible! You mudafu- *Burp* You back to earning a pretty penny by dismantling Beasts all day! You whiny coward!" Harry spoke in a drunken rage which earned the laughs of his companions as they tried to calm him down. Hmmm... It looks like having more work doesn't necessarily mean having more money to spend, huh?

It's a good thing my job has nothing to do with fighting~ I'm so happy~!

"So your the 'Dismantler' I've heard about these days?" My spine chilled as an arm rapped around my neck in this noisy environment. The main hall of the Guild was too crowded with bustling people for anyone to notice I had got myself in a bit of a pinch.

Damn... I can't even feel my Mana Flame... This guy must definitely be a Dark Specialist! Only they have the ability to use techniques that specialise in capture and other sorts of crimes...

The man pretended to make small talk with me as he brought me out of the Guild's main hall. I couldn't even lift a finger in resistance as I felt the Dark Attribute he had sunk into my skin locking up my joints. He put a knife to my throat after bringing me to an empty alley where we could talk.

"Jordan Darby, Ex-Swordsman and now founder of a new branch of the Mercenary Guild that specialises in researching the physical qualities of Beasts. I even heard you have been experimenting on how to create hybridised Humans who can tap into the true hidden power of mimicked Attributes. You had become quite famous when you first started showing the results of your efforts, you know? I really admire you." Although this kidnapper said he admired me, I really wasn't able to believe him considering how he said it so emotionlessly...!

How does he know my name? What does this guy even want from me?!

"If you want something then take it...! I have nothing of interest and have failed multiple times in my experiments. You won't find anything interesting in my research notes. Please spare my life!" I begged without a hint of shame.

I'm sure he would have still captured me even if he didn't sneak up behind me. I'm such a weakling of an Ex-Swordsman...! My father would have disowned me if he saw my plight.

"You're really easy to intimidate, huh? I kinda expected more from you... Oh well, I'll get to the main point." The man took the knife away from my neck and continued to speak emotionlessly.

"I need you to do me a 'favour'." The man 'requested' with a harmless smile.

"If it's something related to studying Beasts than I'm in!" I responded with feigned enthusiasm since I didn't want to be killed by this guy. It's best to give up when one has no other option!

"No no, your services as a researcher are great and all but that Intrinsic Spell of yours is something we really need right now." A chill ran down my spine again after I heard his nonchalant tone.

How does he know of my Spell? I've only used it once in a dangerous situation in my lifetime... How could he know its functions from just that?!

"Can I politely refuse...?"

"You can if you wanna die." His eyes turned frosty as the edge of his knife touched my skin. Wait! I don't want to die! I have so much to live for...!

"I accept! I accept your 'request' so please don't kill me!" I almost wet myself after experiencing such a dangerous situation for the first time in my life. This guy is too scary!

"Great! I'm glad you're such an understanding individual. Don't worry about the compensation though. I'm offering you 1000 gold coins to use your Intrinsic Spell in a certain location of a Noble's household. Your payment will be transferred directly to your bedside regardless if our plan succeeds or not." The man said assuringly after seeing the hesitation in my heart.

"1000?!" I exclaimed in shock!

Am I dreaming or is he lying? Is he really going to pay me such a large amount for using my Spell in a certain place? Wait... This could be a trap...!

This task could be dangerous.

But the payment is so eye catching~!

I could die on such an assignment.

But it's 1000 gold coins~! I could buy Jenna a mansion and live happily ever after with her as long as I don't over spend such a luxurious amount~

Ah...! My reason and desire are having a showdown to see who's stronger!

It was an insta-kill with the winner being my desire since 1000 gold coins were really to buy for~! I don't know where this guy's from but I somehow feel he's pretty trustworthy and I must follow his orders- I mean, help him out from his really bad predicament!

"Dead!" I said while nodding my head happily... which I regretted so badly after seeing the results of what was supposed to be a 'simple request'...!

The men I met after going to this 'random' Noble's household were all extremely strong. I infiltrated the household by switching places with a look-alike who seemed to have been prepared beforehand so I could enter through the gates of the household.

I knew I messed up really badly when I saw the corpse of the 'Leader' who gave us the opportunity to infiltrate this prestigious Noble Household's Guards!

When the second-in-command, who seemed unwilling to accept defeat, saw his superior, he dragged his boss' corpse to the location designated for me to use my Intrinsic Spell.

We got in a line in front of the Noble Household we infiltrated and the second-in-command started bickering with the Noble in charge of us...

"Don't mess this up." The man behind me whispered as he gestured his hand towards me. I couldn't help but reflexively use my Intrinsic Spell in fear since I was sure he'd kill me if I didn't!

[Intrinsic Spell: Ether Ripple]

A drop of my Mana turned into a thread that pierced the ground under my feet and shook the Ether within the magic resistant bricks along the floor.

The traps within the ground were disarmed by my Intrinsic Spell, but everything didn't go the way I expected after I erased the traps in the ground...!

"You traitors seem well prepared."

"But you forgot one thing."

"The Swordwick Household isn't called the Monster House for no reason!"

These words echoed in my ear as I turned to see that the man behind me had lost his head- ARGH!!! He got killed! Someone has just died!

That was the last thing I remembered before my eyeballs rolled backwards as I fell unconscious from the sight of extreme violence that had taken place.

I am so screwed...!

——————————————————————————-
Author's Notes: Hi guys, Stuman here~ This is my last chapter of this story along with that Auxiliary Chapter where I posted a big Xianxia Rant. (You should check it out if you have the time, you might like it~) Now you may be wondering why I didn't use the box used for the Author's Thoughts to express myself, and the reason for this is because what I'm about to express takes up too much words to fit in there.

The reason I wanted to personally talk to you guys is because I feel that there are many readers these days who genuinely don't know what 'constructive criticism' means.

If you think that 'being in the right' when talking about a writer's flaw is all you need for a constructive criticism, then you're very wrong.

Although it sounds tedious, but a criticism needs to be long and have examples on how a writer can properly improve for it to be considered 'constructive'. Anything else is just a bias opinion that holds no weight whatsoever, even a child can complain about a book not living up to their standards or expectations. If you guys felt like helping an Author improve for even a moment while reading their story, then you mustn't forget this advice.

Authors like me, who are only amateurs who posted their story after putting in actual effort into writing, have low self-esteem. Writing criticisms that are too brief will of course bring about misunderstandings while praises that don't explain why the reader liked the story will also similarly not help whatsoever.

Just because an Author can read hundreds of books doesn't mean his way of writing will improve in any way, shape or form. Reading other stories written by more 'competent Authors' doesn't mean an Author will suddenly become Er Gen. (Refering to the twat on chapter three who thinks reading better stories equals better writing skill. I write out of passion and don't get paid whatsoever for sitting down to do my hobby. Your opinion of this matters less to me than a proper constructive criticism that can help me improve the quality of my work.)

In the end, what I'm trying say is that Authors WOULD improve their writing if they knew how to, a brief 'this is an info-dump' does NOT help a writer pinpoint mistakes. A long criticism containing an opinion, a reasonable argument or advice from personal experience, and an example on what can be changed to suit the tone of the story helps more. It's tedious, I know, but Authors go through a lot more up write chapters. Even the so-called 'junk-food' chapters that are written faster than others...

I've stopped writing this story for two reasons: One is the kind of nagging I got on RRL by assholes who don't even know the first thing about the MANY types of writers in the world and how they were always dissatisfied no matter what I wrote. If I wrote exposition, they would call it out as if I didn't know I was writing a long explanation and act like they are 'sharp-eyed' readers by basically telling me to 'improve' without offering even the slightest bit of advice on HOW that can actually be done. It's as if they think writing is easy and brief criticisms with no substance whatsoever has weight in their argument. Of course, if a writer retorts then he's an immature brat who doesn't 'appreciate their advice'. Not saying there aren't any genuinely bad Authors out there but if the story is 'average', then that means the amateur writer actually put a lot of work into it since he can't rival professional Authors. He needs advice every now and again since he could accidentally make mistakes while writing.

As for my second reason, I'm genuinely uninterested in writing any further because I just realised I hate readers. It's not like I personally 'hate' you lovely readers who have supported me with comments that allowed me to improve my writing skills, it's just that I hate having to go through the same process of painstakingly writing, getting shot down by readers who think their brief comments are like Simon Cowell's criticisms, then having to deal with the replying to moronic asshole in the corner who thinks I care if he stops reading further or not. You can hate a story all you want, just don't expect an Author to care if you specifically have stopped reading, because I know I don't. You're opinions are your own and I'm not submissive enough to cater to readers who only have 'opinions' without actual 'advice'.

Thank you for reading my last chapter and see you later~ I'm probably not going to post a story here without proper thought ever again but don't let that affect you guys. I mean, I'm quite sure most of you are like me and don't care if one random amateur doesn't post his work. I'm not saying this out of despise as well since I truly have never taken comments that were not to my liking to heart. I'm just not confident I can write a 'good story' right now and want some alone time to myself so I can think of another story.

You guys have genuinely been helpful. And no, the commenter on third chapter has nothing to do with my loss of interest in this story. I had long decided to pass this story to someone else and wrote this long piece of advice for everyone. Not that guy specifically. If my words have affected you guys the slightest, then please be more tolerant with other Author and at least TRY to sound reasonable when your making your argument.

And remember, not writing anything is easier than writing 'junk-food' for you all to read~

After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Welcome back, young daoists! Today we will be touching upon a topic near and dear to every starving daoist's heart. Advertising.

Of course, "shamelessly advertising"? No! You are just providing a source of entertainment for anyone who is interested...

Maybe a young daoist like you has never heard of the term "advertising"? It's a quite simple and easy task, but getting people to actually read your story is something else. Here's a few tips on how to provide a source of entertainment for anyone interested.

1. Comments

Let's say you're on a story like "Transcending The Nine Heavens" and see a few comments enjoying the story. You should comment something like this:

"I like Transcending The Nine Heavens too! The update per week is soo slow though. I'm working on a similar story called "Insert Cool Xianxia Name" with a chapter per (you choose) and it currently has (please don't advertise with 5 chapters). See you later, fellow daoist. 

With this comment, you have indirectly said 'Come to my story, add to your library and give me power stones.' without actually saying that! Foolproof technique.

2. Social Media/Discord

If you haven't joined Discord, I recommend you do! You should then join the official Webnovel server and Inkstone Writing server. Using a legendary technique crafted by me, you will be able to get more viewers.

Open Discord > Webnovel > Start Interacting

This one requires a lot of skill, as not every starving daoist can actually communicate well. Fear not! This will hone your skills, give you an idea of what authors and readers are like and open new gateways to creating your own server for your novel. 

So basically, don't shamelessly advertise to advertise on Discord! Only do it when the moment is right and casually mention your novel. 
TLDR: Don't be so pushy! A man just wants to read..
3. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

This is only for the most desperate and starving daoists. It is seriously not recommended to torture yourself like this unless absolutely necessary. After all, who would want to let the world know they write on Webnovel? Just one look at it gives a 'weaboo' vibe and will scare most narrow-minded people off. But, if you have willingly chose this path, it is expected you know what judgement stems from it. 

You should casually mention you write something and have a friend check it out. Make sure you're not writing a scene where the MC gets his head chopped off on the first chapter or that will scare some people away. Here's a good way of saying this to your real life friends:

"I've been thinking of getting into writing, and I'm writing on a website called Webnovel. My story is called 'The Dao of Filler' you should check it out! I think you'll like it."

If you were not profusely sweating while saying that sentence, good on you. Let's just hope your friend won't be absolutely shocked when they read the absurd titles of popular novels and quickly close the tab...

That's all for today's advice! If you need any advice on your cultivation, let me know in the comments below! Of course, remember to give me your power stones. 

Remember kids, every word counts...

Young daoist, you must face all in your way to becoming a shameless author and filler expert. Luckily, I am giving advice for freeeeeee! Vote now with your power stones..

To My Dearest Readers,

Hi everyone! I know I've disappointed all of you for my lack of chapters and instability of updates. It's been a year and yet, I'm still in chapter 8. And for that, again, I am really, truly, very very sorry. 

I know you may not be interested but I just wanted to share ...life has not been so good to me and my passion (writing) for the past few months...or years actually? Hehehe.. I've been constantly restricted on doing what I love..since, if we are to be realistic, it's really hard to earn a living in the creativity department...unless, you're really lucky and all, you know...or gifted. This has kept me wondering if there's any worth at all to what I'm doing. I'm not that good anyway, hehehe. Then I thought, I'd just write as a hobby, though. Since I still...and really, love writing. But loving it is not enough. My love of it was not enough.

Oh, how I wish I could just spend all my days thinking and writing all I want! How I wish, i don't need to work and be stressed by a job I don't even like...just to survive. How I wish, that I don't need to try to get along with people I don't really like for the sake of professionalism...and just be myself. How I wish that instead of learning and getting trained for things I need to perform the job I don't like, that I could spend that time and effort for writing instead. Yeah, they're all wishes, and wishes they'll be kept..since I'm a coward. I don't have the courage to step out of this comfort zone and challenge the unknown. I'm not brave enough to take the risk. Because if I do, it will only cause my whole life, my future, my path.

But then again, I thought, what path am I building? What road am I going? Is this what I really want my life to be? And maybe, some of you have been faced with these same questions yourselves. If you are, please give me some advice, hehehe. 

Anyways, enough of my ramblings. What I really wanted to say though is that...even if life has been hard for me, and for all of us for sure, we keep on pressing on. And for me, whenever I'm kind of losing hope in writing, I just go back to my stories, read all of your comments and reviews which are all so dear ...very dear… to me.

Basically, I just wanted to say.. "Thank You"...very very much. For sticking with me, for all your encouragement, for all your advice, for checking up on me...someone you don't even know. For all the support, for all the love, and hope you gave me. I know I'm still half baked when it comes to writing, I'm not even a professional but I hope I can at least give you the best. Though I can't promise a daily update, I'll do my best to do a weekly update at least. Anyways, I've already pre-written a few chapters ahead. 

I hope you continue supporting me on this journey even if I'm still lacking in many ways. But really, from the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you!

Thank you very much to:

Again, thank you everyone. And the same thank you goes to all the other thousand silent readers (those who don't comment or vote but still added me in their library). Thank you very much.

I could still remember the day that I only have 10 or 20 readers, and only 1 added me in their library. But now, our family has grown..and I hope it continues to grow. It's okay if I don't get published or don't get a contract, at least I've got all of you! Thank you once again.

Let's all continue to press on and keep moving forward!.

Very sincerely,
_Oracle_

PS. I've created a discord account. I hope we could talk and discuss anything during your free time. Feel free to join in! Here's the link: https://discord.gg/R6ZBvzB

To My Dearest Readers, First of all, thank you all very much for all the support you've given me in my journey of writing stories. Though I've felt depressed to the point of giving up my passion, you have all encouraged me to do my best. I really can't thank you enough. As repayment to your kindness, I decided to revise this story to make it more beautiful but I'll still stick to the original concept so all the character's you've met will still be there. Also, I will be deleting the chapters here and reenter this story as a new novel and join the Webnovel Spirity Awards Spring 2020. I'll closely be working with a Content Editor to help me and guide me along the way so I can deliver the best story for you. I'll keep the title as "The King's Beloved" so you can search it anytime. [Update] Here's the link to the revised version: https://www.webnovel.com/book/16785081306356305/The-King's-Beloved PLS ADD TO YOUR LIBRARY Hoping you could all support me again, and again, thank you very much! Sincerely, _Oracle_ aka Macy_Bae

I should have been on here a lot sooner but I am removing this book. I will continue this book, just not on this platform. This platform is one I am not comfortable with so I will be moving onto another platform. 
I apologize for not saying it earlier but I doubt any of the readers on here actually care. I've been going through the statistics on this book and I have realized that most of you aren't actually reading the book but skimming through it. I have a popular platform where people will support me and actually give me advice.
This platform to me is dead. Yes the views on my book goes up, but that is in no way helping me. I see that the views go up, but that's all it is. I want readers that will help me with my writing because at the end of the day, I am still learning as well. 
So I apologize to those very few who actually took the time to read my book, but I am doing this with my best intentions in mind. I thank you for the views but this is not the platform I want to be on.
And on a side note: The platforms community is dead. The books on here are awesome and I love it. But when it comes to writing and actually giving advice...its nonexistent. Me as a person that is still learning my style, I am doing what I feel is best for me. I'm sorry to those who cannot accept that but it is what it is. 
I will be removing all chapters starting right after I publish this authors note.

This book is no longer being published on this account or website for that matter. No hate to the community on here, but it isn't my forte. I want something that's a lil more active. Plus I'm self publishing this book and I don't want people stealing my book Idea. Which is why I deleted all the chapters and prologue. I will update one chapter whenever I do decide to publish my book.

Love you my mystery silent readers.
