One is a dragon. The other is also a dragon. ?

You can’t say any word with the letter Z in it.

See how the coward runs. Effortlessly bested.

A bomb or military gear? if I hit a tiger with my car it ain’t winning.

Niche. I can’t imagine a dungeon core story doing well on the shelves. It’s too niche an idea, if you don’t understand specific computer games it’s a bit incomprehensible.

"Become" sure. They might not be human after, but that wasn't part of the question.

Deadlines help for me. I gotta get out chapters for patreon so the writing has gotta be done.

Do I get Xp for the kill?

That's the neat part, they don't. The reader gets to find out if they throw hands, which is more interesting than knowing right away.

I'd say they're more Superpowers than Magic, as magic usually has defined rules about how it can be practiced, while in Systems you just do shit without any real explanation as to how it's all working. My two examples are probably the better thought out ones, where extra complexity actually...

I think you could maybe fully remove the System from https://www.scribblehub.com/series/278151/the-reincarnation-of-alysara/ but at that point you're just relabelling everything System related "Magic" Same for https://www.scribblehub.com/series/28882/forgotten/ In fact, for that one, I'd say...

I've always been a big believer in "Nah just get to the good part", so many stories die because they flail around before getting to the part they actually wanted to write.
