Chapter : PRELIMINARIES
Author here. I have been thinking of writing my own story for a while now, having read a number of great stories with amazing ideas and plot. Unfortunately, there are such few good stories and too many with little direction, so I hope this story will at least make the people that read it happy.
Just a warning. In this story, there will be depictions of cruelty, torture, murder, crass language, abuse, mental disorders and extreme gore. If you are incapable of dealing with this type of content, I recommend that you avoid reading any further.
As for romance, it is not likely to be prominent here, given that this is predominantly sci-fi and fantasy. Smut is therefore likely to be little. I will do my best on that end, though.
If there is anything I can do to better the content, please advise me in the comments and I will see what I can do, but avoid hate comments to me and and other readers in general. In short, criticize the comment or the work, not the person.
I would like to acknowledge the fanfics that inspired my work the most (but the inspiration I got is not limited to the listed works, of course):
1. Magical Marvel by athass_prkr, Webnovel
2. Harry Potter and the Supremacy of Cursed Blood by MaliciousPrince, Webnovel
3. Enchanting Melodies by athass_prkr, Webnovel
4. Jujutsu Kaisen: The Sorceress of Control by SquirrelChan
5. Ten Shadows in the Heian Era by BoredMC
Of course, outright plagiarism was avoided. However, the main plot of the story is just Magical Marvel rewritten by me. I loved the original, and it is in fact what really got me into this whole writing business, but I feel like there was more to be desired in some areas.
I scaled up a lot of the characters from the original works, just to put that out there, btw, be it by scaling up their power, intelligence, or even physique. I also added my own OCs, with some of the original cast being replaced or just written out completely. Try to keep that in mind.
I also changed major plot points to make the work as original as possible, especially when it comes to lore, timelines, and the magic system.
I really hope that you guys will trust the process. There are parts which will explain themselves as the story goes, even though they may not make sense at first. I'll do my best to keep things clear, so just do me that favour.
Other than that, enjoy the story.
