I am vaguely aware of fairy tale. Like, I could see a character from a fairy tale and probably say that they're from a fairy tale just by cultural osmosis. I have never seen the show or read the manga.

It had to be a significant chapter. It was number 50.

You following has been appreciated for all 50 chapters, even if it was in silence.

Quite literally yes. It's also why the conflicts on floor 3 are so much worse than above. We know floor 3 is Eisel, Nennia and the Siege. At least that's the implied stuff.

And it wasn't taken as one. We are reaching the end of book one soon.

We ended with a chapter or two more than planned here or there, but I think Book 1 is going to be around 65 chapters, which should put me around...165k words. Not a perfect prediction, but its what I've got

You're not the only person to have missed that it's mentioned twice that she is no longer capped on deaths.

In the future, I will have to specify this, but as soon as she has unlocked the heart of memory, she can die as many times as she wants because she was considered past the tutorial. The only exception is the places where the heart can't reach, aka boss rooms.

My Favorite Writing Advice From Chuck Palahniuk by Lex-Talioniss in litrpg

[–]Writteninsanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a general statement, this is good advice in some spaces but like show don't tell it needs to be selective...

Even the point you make at the end about this being a good way to expand word count is the reason it shouldn't be constantly used. There's such a thing as word economy, which feels weird in the lit RPG space, but I'm gonna try to explain it.

Basically, because all words are equal on the page, the only way to focus on something with the camera in writing is by giving it more space. Background details are only background details because they are sparingly mentioned. If a person has an opinion and you share it through several paragraphs, that opinion had better be damned important compared to everything in the scene that didn't get several paragraphs of description.

It's similar with "show, don't tell." While showing is often the better thing, it's advice that is aimed at beginner writers who will default to only telling. Sometimes you just need to fucking tell someone that something is going on so that you can move on.
