Hello to everyone who has been reading my work so far, and welcome to all the new faces!
I'd like to take a moment to talk a bit about my writing and myself in general.
Well, to start with, I'm someone who loves to read, and about a year or a year and a half ago, I started reading fanfiction. At first, everything was fine, but the further I went, the worse fanfiction seemed to get. My disappointment stemmed mainly from two reasons.
The first reason is that many fanfiction writers love replacing the main characters with original, self-insert ones. I can't say whether this is good or bad, but the number of such fanfics has grown significantly. Personally, I often want to read from the perspective of the original protagonist, not a replacement. That's the first issue.
The second reason is that even when there are good stories among these, authors often abandon them, which is quite disheartening.
Another thing that bothers me in fanfiction is the overuse of lemons. Don't get me wrong—I like them too. In fact, they were one of the reasons I started reading fanfiction in the first place. But in many stories, the plot becomes overly predictable: the protagonist turns into a playboy, and by the second chapter, there's already a lemon scene. The next two or three chapters follow the same pattern. It feels like they don't even try to develop the story anymore; everything revolves around the lemons. In my fanfiction, there will be lemons as well, but I'm focusing more on romance, so you'll have to wait a good long while before you get to the first one.
Now, about this fanfiction:
First of all, I wanted to come up with something unique, but it wasn't easy. I didn't want to immediately turn Ed into a Spartan, an archmage, a philosopher, or a ladies' man—it wouldn't be realistic, and it would be boring to read. At some point, I thought: what if Ed returned to the past, to the time when he first entered this world? But that idea felt too generic, so I needed to change something. That's when I came up with this: instead of Ed himself returning, only his body, personality, and some abilities would go back to the past. His memories would remain as they were in the first chapter, but there would also be one more thing you'll find out when you read it.
I plan to release chapters mainly on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
