Culture Iceberg

Na-Isekai Ako

Katherine, formerly known as Nora in her past life, wakes up from a week-long coma to find herself in the body of a young noblewoman in Albania. But there’s a catch—she's not the star of the show. Nope, she’s just a minor character in a famous classical novel she once read. Not even mentioned by name! At first, Katherine wonders if this is some bizarre dream or if she’ll find a way to go back to her old life. But as the days drag on, she starts to accept the reality that this might be her new normal. Should she keep hunting for an escape, or is it time to roll with the punches and embrace the strange nobility life? The plot is supposed to follow the book’s twists and turns, but there are unexpected hiccups along the way. And, oh, the villain—the one person who absolutely shouldn’t be interested in her—seems way too curious. With her future up in the air and no clear direction, Katherine must figure out how to navigate this world, all while avoiding drama and keeping her head down (though that might be a bit hard when the villain is suddenly paying attention). Blending Filipino culture references with modern pop culture nods, "Na-isekai ako" offers a fresh and lighthearted take on the isekai genre, reimagining a beloved classic with humor, heart, and a touch of unexpected chaos. Get ready to get isekai’d! *winks* English Title: I Got Isekai’d A Filipino Novel-Inspired Creation with an Isekai Twist! Disclaimer: Florante and Laura is an original work by Francisco Balagtas and is considered one of the masterpieces of Philippine literature.

Forced Development

To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person?  How does magic,  the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work  What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapters come out every Friday at about the same time.
