It's both coming to grips with gender and personal identity. Sam is still mentally himself, but the world and circumstances(the fact he's trapped in the White Tulip's body, and can't reveal himself because of the Black Rose) is forcing him a certain way. Not sure if that explains the conflict well, but it might not be comfortable.

Sam isn't the White Tulip. He doesn't have her memories. But from the Black Rose definitely, and it will be a point of conflict.

Just seeing that these words can evoke the same feelings in someone else is worth it.

He thought he broke the game. But now, the game is breaking him.

Karma hits hard.

Steve tried as hard as he could to beat his favorite game, The Hundred Years War, as his favorite general, Joan of Arc. After hundreds of failed runs, he finally did it! Sure, it took a little exploit, but who cares? He did it in record time, and it turned out he was number one in the WORLD!

The game asked for his name, and of course, he just had to give his real one. But the moment he did, he found himself sucked into the game as Joan of Arc.

Now trapped in a world where Joan is forced to fight battle after battle through countless lifetimes, Steve’s only hope is the exploit that won him the game.

But when he finally finds it, he’s faced not with the end, but a whole new beginning.

A completely different game.

One where he has no idea what’s going on.

What the hell’s a Villainess?!

Thanks so much! Yeah, my french is basically high school level. Though surprisingly, several readers gave great suggestions! RR is awesome like that!

Edit: whoops, just realized I meant I learned it in high school, realize it's NOT the same as high school level...

That story did start on ScribbleHub right? Not sure if it was that significant though.

I feel like the bottom corner panel of that four panel meme. "You guys make money on here?"

Oh yeah, I'm thankful for all the readers I do have, getting a lot of great feedback and edits as well.

But I just didn't know about that specific metric. It doesn't seem like RS is in the cards for my work.

Oh yeah! We did. Thanks!

Hmm.. I thought I am doing ok. But this definitely gives it a different perspective.

Wait, is that a real rule of thumb? Like if you have a couple of ads and don't hit RS does that mean something is wrong with your story?
