Now now, hold your horses. I know it sounds bad but I'm not going anywhere and I still love RI, so I will definitely write about it. The problem came from the fact that I tried plotting out the progression of this book and it came around to something like this
-impersonate different side characters or original ones
-don't be found by fate or Star Constellation
-get benefits
-reach rank 9
-Ally with Limitless and fuck shit up.
.
Do you see the problem? Hint - it is in the "path to rank 9"
Let me give you an extract from my conversation with my editor to give you a better idea:
.
"I didn't think it through when I made it
And I realize that it will turn into a slog
The MC's power is basically replacing people and then changing stuff, but the problem is that most people in RI are irrelevant
Fang Yuan grows so fast that basically the only characters people remember or care about are venerables, a few rank 8s and a few of the "love interests"
I can skip the boring parts and make it a quick growth type though.
But this would make even myself not care about the plot
I contemplated adding dimensional travel, which should spice things up
But it's easier to simply rewrite it then force another aspect where it doesn't fit
I'm thinking of something like DC/RI
With a guy transmigrated in the DC world but able to enter the Rl world at will/or with restrictions
Basically cultivating in Rl however he can, and then coming back to DC to flex on superheroes with Gu and cultivation
And on the other side of the coin, bringing firearms and shit to RI and fuck up low tier cultivators
Damn, what a weird feeling
Knowing you sunk time into something but the better option is to abandon it and start something new."
.
.
So that's it for now. I'll make a new fic, possibly after I finish the Danmachi one, or maybe even sooner
Either way, I am not deleting this fic because there is no "intrinsic flaw" within it. Just my reluctance to create 1000 irrelevant OC's for my MC to slowly climb the ranks, in a world where all the rules are already explained and any new plot I create would be so massively outshined by the original it wouldn't even be funny.
All in all, I might come back to this fic someday since I'll definitely lose sleep over it, but for now consider it on hiatus. Sorry for dropping this on you, but I promise that if you like DC(Young Justice) and RI, you won't be disappointed.
You can even consider it a rewrite of this one, if it makes you feel better. Might even call it Fate Breaker to pay respects.
Now, have a good day and get back to work (or sleep)
Time waits for no one.
