Aetheria - World of New Beginnings

Aaaand here it is.

I'm finally making chapters of the original story that I've been working on available for you all to read and critique before it goes to publishing.

Chapter releases are planned to be one per week on Thursdays. (Yes, I realize it's Wednesday. Don't sweat the details.)

There's an information page available here.

I've said this before, but while this series does have a similarities to common Japanese light novel tropes (reincarnated to another world, game elements, etc.), there are plot reasons, and it isn't an attempt at imitation. The currently story actually developed out of some writing that I was doing to generate background content for a game project I had on the back-burner, and once going, it gained a life of it's own. The characters are fun for me to write and hopefully interesting for you the reader as well.

There are about 21 books planned in the over-arcing main plot, and some rough ideas for a second arc after that. The initial writing for the first three books has been completed, and I'm currently about a third of the way through book four. That's 80 chapters stockpiled. The books weigh in at ~170k, ~190k, and ~130k words respectively. Book four is already looking to be on the longer side, but we'll see.

I'm recommending this series to people who like stories about crafting and learning magic. There is combat and action in places (and it gets a bit epic on occasion when I overdo it), but you'll be bored if you're only reading for action and adventure.

Keep in mind, this is a work in progress, so if you see any corrections, or suggestions for improvement, feel free to comment.

Today's release includes 2 chapters! Enjoy!
