Chereads / House of the Rising Sun (BL) / Author's Note: Expectations

Author's Note: Expectations

Hello *+:。.。

Welcome to this little novel of mine. I created this to challenge myself if I am able to create a novel of 100k words in less than two months. I don't really know if I will be able to do it but all I know is that I will try my absolute best!

Here are the things that you can expect from this novel:

⚠️ ⚠️ Warning, there might be some spoilers ahead!

✧. ┊ ➀ THIS IS BL (BOY'S LOVE). And I mean it in every sense that this novel will involve a relationship between the two male leads and this relationship would transgress into a lot of forms from platonic to physical and of course, romantic. And though, it's not the main focus of the story it will play a huge role in the whole series.

✧. ┊ ➁ IT'S COMPLICATED. I want to say that it is not complicated but the excel sheet of the world build I have for this says otherwise. The novel is intricate as it mixes tons of popular genres. The magic/power system was a bit complicated, the kingdom politics was also complicated, and so are the relationships of the characters. I will try my best to update the guide every now and then so you have somewhere you can refer to.

✧. ┊ ➂ THIS IS R18. Yes, there will be explicit sexual scenes between the characters, and most of them will be detailed. If you are uncomfortable with it, please skip it or just not read the novel. Explicit chapters will be marked [R18] in the title

✧. ┊ ➃ UPSETTING THEMES. Given the nature of the novel, expect upsetting themes that range from violence to dark backstories and of course the likes of manipulation, obsession, and power imbalance.

✧. ┊ ➄ THIS STORY IS AMBITIOUS. Please note that this story combined a lot of elements that I am not used to writing. This is also my first game-like system novel and I am bound to make mistakes. There would definitely be inconsistencies, so I hope you go easy on me.

✧. ┊ ➅ ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE. As mentioned, please expect grammar lapses, typographical errors, and wonky writing especially when I am too tired lol. I will do my best to make sure that each chapter was of quality.

✧. ┊ ➆ NOT A HAREM BUT A LOVE TRIANGLE. I don't have the energy to write about so many love interests lol however this will involve a love triangle.

✧. ┊ ➇ TONS OF CHARACTERS AND JARGONS. This novel will have tons of jargons/terms and would also have so many characters. I will try to keep track of everyone and if you want please tell me in the comment section if you want me to release a page of the characters!

✧. ┊ ➈ ACTION AND FANTASY FORWARD. The first volume will be a lot of setting of the ground to what could happen in the future which meant it will focus on world-building and introducing characters though this is a romance, it's not the main focus as the main focus would be Izik's development and adventures. Tons of the romance will happen in the middle of the volume though lol.

✧. ┊ ➉ POWER COUPLE. Honestly, I am just doing all this to see Izik and Xanthe be the power couple that they are meant to be. My babies ♡

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed creating this world and the characters! I do hope that you will also leave your comments here and there because that will definitely boost me up and give me the energy and confidence to keep writing this.

With love,

Zee
