Warren, Ohio is a cozy little city of about 39,000 people, where everyone pretty much knows each other. And yes, it's a real place. I originally tried dropping Zoe into a fictional city called Strata City, but let’s be real: she just didn’t fit. So, I planted her right in my hometown, gave it some fictional spots like ValueMart (a Walmart twist), and suddenly everything snapped perfectly into place. Honestly, keeping it local made the story shine, plus I get to avoid any copyright issues while having an absolute blast creating these quirky places. Wait until you meet the Arby’s substitute I cooked up—trust me, it's going to be a fun ride!
Interesting, a little too broken up in the description department, requiring a little more scrolling but overall, I liked the opening chapter. You have a sophisticated and vivid style with a strong command of pacing. I might read it when I get around to it.

When the sleepy little city of Warren Ohio starts teetering on the edge of chaos, Zoe is chosen to be a hero. There’s just one problem: she’s chubby, lazy, and way more invested in leveling up her Horizon Panther than saving the world. Monsters? Pass. But when a nagging system won’t stop harassing her and a looming Shard starts messing with her snack time, Zoe is forced to deal with her so-called "destiny." Begrudgingly. As long as it doesn’t interfere with her next raid. Cover by MK_Wizard Find her on ko-fi mkwizard59 Chs 43 Collections

Thank you so much! Zoe is an absolute blast to write. She's like a version of me—but cranked up a few notches. I’m so thrilled that you’re enjoying her adventure so far. Honestly, getting to share her snark and chaos with everyone is just the best!
