Chapter 6: Not a Chapter - Progression of the novel (spoilers)
This will contain kinda spoilers, skip if u don't wanna know. its also a little rant/trying to show progression.
I'm just writing this to let people know about the direction of the story. I had one comment saying that its going slow. Of which will agree. I am taking my time, there isn't a need to rush through the story and have every chapter be a time skip with him coming back OP or something. This aint that kind of novel. This is more a slice of life version of a cultivation novel.
Right now in the story, he hasn't got a need to rush through and get strong, he just want to have fun with his new life. And since he is a prince there will be kingdom building at this point in the story. I'm trying to make a logical story, not some rushed piece of shit. So for right now he is going to act like a prince and help his empire and grow his influence. This is the most logical way to progress in the main characters shoes. You can just get super powerful and then go and offend lots of sects and family's and live, well plot armour but I'm trying to avoid stuff like that.
So right now he will be growing his own force, creating a merchant empire and getting prepared for when he goes on his adventure in the future.
If people don't want a logical way of progression then go read a shitty cliché novel, there are plenty. but my plan is a more thought out version of the cliché cultivation trope.
it will be slow for the next few chapters but that's because I cant just do a time skip and be like, well here we are 4 months in the future, he now has thousands of harem members, a successful merchant business that's bigger than an empire, created loads of alchemy pills and other stuff, oh and also he is now a god. I don't want to do that. that just sucks.
I want to show people his thought process and how he has achieved this, not just it appears. I want to show his struggles at trying to monopolise trade, trying to negotiate with hostile people and actually show a bit of growth.
I personally hate clichés, a cliché shows up in a novel like. His girl getting hurt cause she tried to save him or some shit would just piss me off. Or some arrogant young master coming along and steeling his girl, or trashing on him. I HATE that. which is why I'm making my mc in a way where he can predict this, stop this and just shit on the young masters.
If a young master of a family comes up to him and calls him trash n stuff, he aint gunna sit though that. He gunna walk up to him rip his arms off, shatter his cultivation and have his father or his own force destroy the familly. Publiclly. If its an enemy in the shadows, he will fight back in the shadows. You know the logcal thing to do.
yeh rant over, just want people to know the direction of the story in case they are like "WTF why is this so slow, im dropping".
have fun reading :)
