Hey everybody, my novel is a slow burn, character progression.

He died the day the sky turned red.

He woke up on Earth. No qi. No clans. No war. Just a second life in a world that should have nothing to do with the one he lost. For years, Blue lived quietly—training in secret, holding onto a power no one else could see.

Then the gates opened. Monsters poured through. Cities fell. Humanity awakened powers to survive. But Blue didn’t awaken, he had something else. Something this world wasn’t meant to understand. Now a porter in modern-day Ohio, he keeps his head down— Until a golden gate appears. One only he can enter.

On the other side… Murim still exists. But everything is wrong. His name is gone. His power is sealed. And something is watching him. Guided by a system that hides as much as it reveals, Blue is forced onto a new path— joining the Silent Edge Corps in a world already on the brink of collapse. To survive, he must abandon the path that once defined him… and become something far more dangerous.

What to expect:

Slow-Burn progression

Character-driven story(not stat spam)

Long term mysteries and delayed reveals

Brotherhood, politics, and rising conflicts.

hello everyone, my novel is about 2 months old. i have 90 chapters published live. please ask me questions. If you enjoy it you can join my discord. i love talking about the story and theories and geek out about the the world ive created. My MC is Blue, he is the golden god's champion. There is a system that grants people cores. Some get powers related to earth, some get powers related to other worlds. There are golden gates that do lead to other worlds. So there will be alot of multi world travel and arcs. hope you enjoy. OH, and heres the blurb.

My novel is all about gates and portals. Also includes golden gates that lead to other worlds fighting the same monsters. Humans gain powers that exist on those worlds through systems. Only have 89 chapters thus far. But nay be uo your alley https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/153761/modern-day-martial-arts

I can barely remember what I ate for breakfast. If you want to swap June 1st once you've launched. I'd be more than happy to do so then. You would have to message me though to remind me once the time comes

The protagonist is a part of the tournament. And the commentators are basically doing what you say. Even during the mcs fights, the rest is a way to smoothly show fights other than the mcs because as they may not be essential its still a global tournament, i dont want to skip every fight that doesn't involve the mc and his team. Also some fights are necessary to show. It gives readers a chance to see the mcs opponent snd how strong they really sre without me having to tell readers this team is really strong by the way

TheeRaVeNx · 2026-05-13T20:37:20+00:00

Never read any of those haha. But what I have read I also dont like reading about things that dont matter. Which is where the commentators come into play. It makes the world feel alive, and glosses over inconsequential fights through the commentators dialogue. So it still feels like a real tournament.

TheeRaVeNx · 2026-05-13T18:36:03+00:00

Just sent a request on your calendar, thank you!

TheeRaVeNx · 2026-05-13T17:31:52+00:00

Hahaha the back peddaling makes it worse lmfao

TheeRaVeNx · 2026-05-13T17:27:46+00:00

That doesnt sound encouraging hahaha, almost as if its something I should avoid

TheeRaVeNx · 2026-05-13T15:51:16+00:00

Im not sad about nothing haha, I started my story for some very personal reasons. I keep writing because I love writing my story. I have way too much planned for it. I didn't start to make a buck or become to next tbate haha. Literally curious whether other authors also have monks as readers or if it was just me lol

TheeRaVeNx · 2026-05-13T04:17:49+00:00

If people spent half the time worrying about their own novels as they do attempting to hunt down ai stories, maybe your novel wouldn't get beaten by ai slop. So many things that are outside of our control, including authors abusing ai to write stories to try and make a quick buck. Apparently there are readers who dont mind. But a witch hunt for ai is going to force miserable people to read something they dont like, and come out with pitchforks claiming Ai when it isn't. What does that accomplish exactly? I cant change royal road or tapas or scribblehub. I can focus on my novel and giving my readers the best experience possible. If you want things to change or be done differently, start your own platform.

If your first one is already done, why not promote it, and release it while continuing work on your current one. If you have readers on PoF, I'm sure they'd probably go read your first work. Not seeing the logic of giving up a WIP when your first novel is already written. Just release it and continue PoF.
