Existentialist

Hiroshi Nova, a 19 year old existentialist and optimistic person that works in an international company sees no reason for the existence of humanity. Someday, on the rooftop of his company he meets a guy named Baku, and they get into a little conflict from which a lot of strange things start to happen he never experienced before. This story goes more into a philosophical and psychological direction that explores human existence.

[As a means of selling this idea to you, I’ll just mention before the real synopsis that this story’s world is kind of like Genshin Impact, but imagine if the main character was just some existentialist rather than a hero who was already pure of heart to begin with. This is a story of great character development.] Imagine if a nihilistic, ‘grown up’, realist, were to suddenly be transported into a fantasy world as though he were in a video game? Imagine if that person was once a gamer, but after trying to become more ‘serious’, the thought of trying to enjoy himself never crossed his mind again for years. Imagine if after that depressive cycle, he was thrust out of his world where everything made sense, and no matter how hard he wished, his idea of normal in this new world wasn’t something that mattered to others. He encounters a variety of unique people and challenges, and all of these things come as a surprise to him, since he hasn’t met a single pure thing in his previous world. Honest friends, adventure, and purpose, something that seems only fitting for a fantasy world. He struggles with the idea of wanting to know if he would have ever had the chance to find such happiness in the original world he came from. Things eat at him, but even though he knows that is stupid, he wants answers and security, not a quick fix that was simply handed to him out of luck. [If you still don’t know what this is about, and you’ve played at least the charactet selection part of Genshin Impact, then imagine that this is a story where the main character isn’t some hero from another world and came from our’s, but also doesn’t have anything to fight for in particular at the start, which in Genshin Impact, he would have been trying to reunite with his twin sister, but our protagonist in this story has no such friend/family/lover to to love.]

The Author controls the world and introduces a boy to a nightmare realm where he must survive criminal monsters and villagers; to find and convince The Killer to bring him back to the real world. But he's overpowered. Instead, a parallel version of him who's been through more suffering in the Nightmare Realm grows mad in his weakness, and must face off with his privilaged self. In a battle that will determine their life or death. *May contain explicit and existentialist language that may be too boring for some readers. Also, shameless innuendos that may be too obnoxious for others. Viewer discretion is advised. *CONWITS is written by someone who's been speaking in English practically since birth. They've been studying plot and storytelling for more than 3 years. Reading professional others' works, being nitpicky about ruined prose, grammar, plotline structures, execution and lesser characters from lesser platforms, and has been known to be so criticizing enough to ruin their self-esteem. *CONWITS is a smaller project to help the author destress from their planned bigger works that are too huge to handle at their current skill level. Basically, I'm procrastinating by doing something shittier. *CONWITS is an isekai so edgy other isekai are like preteen boys trying to sound like Corpse Husband. *I'm kidding. It's not edgy yet. *CONWITS could make you laugh if I've successfully brainwashed you this far. *Although it's currently only 16 parts (10 chapters total), CONWITS has already surpassed 26,000+ words. *The author tends to overwrite, but in a necessary way by the standards of published authors that have indirectly shared their experiences via novels, magazines, websites and YouTube. But I'll be adjusting my writing into something more bite sized and consumer-friendly. If you've read me thus far, you can make it through CONWITS :>. Thank you. Try sharing Conversations With The Self with someone who might find it interesting! It would be funny if a newbie WB author like me suddenly won a gold in this year's Spring Spirity Awards. It's like that one time Nux Taku convinced 20,000+ of his followers to go up-vote Interspecies Reviewers on My Anime List to the point of so much drama just because he memed so hard. It was beautiful. The author made a song of the main character! Called Generic Sun Gone West. Available in SoundCloud and YouTube, under the artist name kirasuten.
