Hey, I finally finished posting the English version, well, now I can talk about what I decided for the next book.
The next book will be about... The Legendary Mechanic.
The fact was that I started writing the beginning of the other ideas I had and it was with LM that I really got happy and was able to continue writing.
It's a romance that I've never seen a Fanfic for and after I started writing it, I understood why.
At first my plan was to follow the rhythm of the LM system, but then I wanted to punch the author in the face after a while, he created the most information-laden interface I've ever seen in my life, seriously, most of the time these Status windows are minimalist, the author on the other hand loved to complicate things and it was very irritating to work with that.
That's why I went back to square 0.
Now, I completely gave up on the Status window and turned the MC into a real NPC, meaning he won't have the Legendary Mechanic game functions.
Of course, for that I gave him a skill that helps him grow even if he doesn't have it, even faster than Han Xiao, his class won't be mechanic either, although I love the book, mechanic isn't really my type of class, furthermore the original MC himself was already a mechanic, what's the point of retracing his steps?
At first I had two ideas for this novel, I really loved both ideas so I decided I would write both, of course, I would start with one of them first.
Also, in terms of romance, as this site prefers Harem, one of the stories will be about Harem (the first one), the other will be monogamous.
I personally like both modalities, I just think that the narrative of both should be adapted to the genre in question.
Leaving that aside, I'll leave a summary here of both to see if it catches your interest.
This is also going to be a long story, because Legendary Mechanic is extremely long.
I've been reading this for a few days and I'm only at chapters +600, this thing is 1.400 chapters long! I remember the general outline, but it's been almost two years since I last read it. Since I'm starting on Planet Aquamarine, I waited until the end of the mutation disaster to actually get back to writing and address any mistakes. Other than that, I'll keep writing while I read the rest over the next few days.
Also, to keep myself interested in writing this, I'm going to open a P_treon for these stories, I'm going to write the initial content for the first month and I'm going to keep a low goal around $100, just to see if it's worth continuing.
Anyone who writes knows that they need to reread their own works regularly to avoid continuity errors. Having to reread 40 chapters is easy, but when it reaches 200... 500... 1,000... it becomes increasingly complicated, not to mention that I have to translate into English while I look for errors.
I'm also not going to set unrealistic goals, just increasing them little by little, by about a few dozen dollars a month, so for those who are worried about the book suddenly falling apart, there's no need to worry too much.
Leaving aside all this money talk, the first story will be posted in the next few days and the second story will wait to see how the first story does, so it may take a month or two to come out.
The first 10 chapters will be free and will be released one per day, after that the free chapters on this site will decrease to a fixed amount per week.

First story:
The first story focuses on Aquamarine, it will tell the story of Ringo Jones, the experimental subject Valkyrie No. 6, his power? An Esper with the power of Evolution, all the stress he receives makes him stronger, he learns faster, he adapts faster, he doesn't even need to train, as long as there is a harmful environment, he can continue to improve, the higher his Rank, the faster he evolves, in addition to unlocking some new related skills.
This MC's personality varies a lot because his evolution works on his mentality as well, so he can adapt to the best personality for his environment and then change to another, it's as if the MC was naturally arrogant, but in a place where arrogance generates problems, his mind adapts to become humble.
Furthermore, his personality is his own, that is, his soul, the reason is that he has forgotten most of the knowledge of the owner of the body, but he still remembers some things and this will cause changes in the plot.
The MC's desire is simple, he wants to continue to evolve and will do everything possible to do so, I don't make this clear in the story, at least at the beginning, but the reason for this is his own Esper gene, his gene pushes him to become a stronger living being, simple as that, the entire main plot revolves around him improving himself or on the way to improvement.

Second story:
The second story on the other hand is no longer in Aquamarine, now the mc has been reborn as a half-Godoran, that is, a hybrid, the initial plot will address the conflict between Godora and Dark Star.
His personality, like Smaug, was also affected by his original, he was a hybrid Godoran who lived in Godora, so he suffered a lot of racism and was even an admirer of Dark Star, but with the mc arriving, he will no longer admire Dark Star, but he will still not have appreciation for Godora.
In fact, it's one of the points I want to address in this story, the Godora race conflict will be the theme of volume 1.
The MC's power was based on Gilgamesh, MC is a wizard with the power of the Babylon Gate, as in this world there are circuit wizards who can only learn spells of the type of their circuit, he will not be able to learn spells the normal way, but only by acquiring rare treasures can he continue to grow.
He will not receive the treasures of the original Gilgamesh, he will start building his treasure from scratch, so the novel focuses on the MC building his treasure.
Bonuses are attributes, spells, or skills, attributes are received based on the item's level and grade, spells and skills can only be received from unique items.
He can only receive an enhancement from one item of the same type, so if he has two mech suits of the same model, he will only receive a bonus from one of them, the stronger one.
Unique items are not necessarily items that only exist one of themselves, although those are on the list, unique items are items that have been adored, known, or revered.
For example, a jewel so beautiful that it is known throughout an entire star system, or a weapon like the floating dragon of Ames.
Different types of items give different, but related, abilities and spells.
Furthermore, he will receive Gilgamesh's charm and luck since luck in this world is one thing, so... a life of wealth awaits him, even if he does nothing.

The two stories have different focuses, the first will focus on relationships, personal improvement and building his organization, the second will focus on a more nomadic MC because he has to find treasures throughout the galaxy.
As I said before, the first one is a Harem and the second one is monogamous, I haven't decided who will be the partner of the second one yet.
Anyway... I think I'll start posting volume 1 of the first book by next week.
Speaking of which, the name of the first book will be: The Legendary Mechanic - Triple Six.
