Hello, everyone!
After a long, long time, I've finally started remaking this novel! I know, I know. It's been ages. But hey, better late than never, right? Kekeke.
Anyway, the new version is now available, and you can read the chapters for free on my Patreon, all the way up to Chapter 12! I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out, give the new version a read, and leave me your thoughts and reviews. The remake goes by the same name, just without the colon: Marvel Monkey King.
Now, for this remake, I've decided to take Jack's growth in a slightly different direction. I don't want him to become OP relatively quickly, so you can expect to see some serious character progression and, eventually, some pretty ridiculous displays of power.
That said, don't expect him to become an unstoppable powerhouse right from the very beginning. One of the things I've always struggled with is writing an MC who can simply plow through every obstacle without breaking a sweat.
It makes things rather difficult when there's no real tension left to work with. So, while Jack will get his fair share of OP moments, there will also be a proper buildup leading up to them. I want his growth to feel earned, and I want you to enjoy the journey just as much as the payoff.
As for the Marvel universe itself, I won't promise more than I can deliver, but here's what you can expect: this story will take place in its own version of the Marvel universe, with a mix-and-match approach to different stories, characters, and comic book lore.
In other words, we're not simply going to retell the same stories from the movies we've all watched and loved. I want to take inspiration from different corners of Marvel and bring them together to create something of my own. There'll be familiar faces, unexpected encounters, and hopefully a few surprises along the way.
And this is where you come in!
I'd love to hear your suggestions. Is there a particular Marvel storyline you'd like to see explored? A character from the comics you'd love to see make an appearance? Maybe there's a certain comic, event, or obscure piece of Marvel lore you think would fit wonderfully into this world.
Feel free to share your ideas and suggestions. I can't promise I'll use everything, but I'd certainly love to hear what you have in mind. Who knows? Your suggestion might just find its way into the story!
Thank you for sticking around, and I hope you'll join me on this new journey.
See you in Marvel Monkey King!
