I did say I hate litRPG, but I was once a fan of litRPG. I lost it after the proliferation of photocopies, loss of character dynamics, and the unimaginative systems. I want to write something that is conceptually different yet still the same genre.

I hate the works, not the genre itself. I can never do it; I was a literature teacher once.

Pretty similar to my love for isekai.

I love isekai, yet I came to hate the photocopies. So I wrote an 'anti-isekai' with all the things I love to see in an isekai present.

I know why you wrote isekai. That's precisely why I mentioned trying a different approach. Cause it's the same 'anti' just a different genre.

What do you mean of different approach? Like how I create stories thru doing anti-theses of stuff I hate?

Err...but won't that end up in me doing stuff I don't like, because well, my ideas start in something I'd like to see in a genre?

But you don't have to write in a genre with a lot of works that you hate, or a genre you came to hate because of photocopies. It's not like you only like those genres, right?

Well true, but that's how I start with my works.

I won't write about SoL genres, mainly because I'm satisfied with what I get to read.

Whereas, I can write lots about litRPG coz my brain's churning up ideas I think can be added to improve the photocopy collections.

Saint Series is filled with concepts I think is lost in isekai.

DECK is my take on school battle stories prevalent during the 00s.

Paulina Rex is my discourse on Machiavellism and political stories.

I don't think I will be able to explain my point. Or maybe I misunderstood something.

The only different story I wrote is the Ballad. That one's a semi-autobio, and I wrote it for the sole purpose of not forgetting my years in my old work.

Tis fine, @SailusGebel I understand your talking point. It's just that, I love to write anti-theses of the genres and the stories that came to define it.

For short, you can say I integrated love, challenge and my 'originality' (if you can call it that) in my creation process.

Can I write something that didn't come from anti-thesis of certain genres? Yes, I can. And I did it already. It's just that, I don't like to do it.

Speaking of isekai and photocopies. If you look at the "So many pointless Isekai" threads, you will notice that everyone defaults to the usual medieval european setting, and a lot of takes are based on it. Or maybe I missed something again? Anyway, can you give me link to the site with all your volumes? I want to bookmark it.

Ah, SH main has my works. And Wattpad. I recommended these because of the illustrations.

Wattpad version is broken up into several smaller chapters per main chap.

SH Main version is missing Arc 1 (which is in A2's profile), and Arc 4 and 5 just yet.

But I'll soon be releasing Arc 1 chapters, as well as 4 and 5 in SH Main.

Also, I admit I also used the Medieval European - Early Modern period setting, simply because the Napoleonic uniforms are cool.
