‘The One Being Protected [Magical Girl Urban Fantasy]’ will be the first story I’ll be posting on RR after a LONG break. My last novels on there were at least 5 years ago. Just wanted to see how you guys would find the idea I cooked up.
After deliberating over many things from the last posts. I decided to go with having the main character be a ‘normal guy’ who regrets not having any power in the past. By the time he managed to get it, there was no one he loved to protect anymore. All of them having died in the hands of werewolves. The villains in the story.
Rather than simply about regrets, this regression story will focus more on his desire to be more than what he was in the past. Be strong enough to save his friend and change the future. He’d learn the value of what he sacrificed later on.
Where do you think I should go with this?
My current plans are to have him wake up in a lab before being taken back ‘home’. He’d meet the people who matter to his current self, which is a kid from an exorcist family trying to inherit the powers of someone from outside the lineage.
This creating conflict since his family respects the person he is being tutored by, but does not believe inheriting an outsider’s power should be celebrated. His brother in this life gaining all the honour for having tamed their family heirloom.
A battle between ‘Demonic Swordsmen’.
Honestly wondering if I should skip to his meeting his friend in the new timeline or doing a progression story to get to that point. Would probably be able to flesh out the world and backstory with the latter. It having more appeal.
I’ll probably get backlash from the title saying it’s a ‘Magical Girl’ story but showing none of them early on. Should probably give him a magical transformation to offset this. Those who are still intrigued enough to wait will probably stay.
That really is all I got for now.
