Dawn at the Wild Rift (Book IV)

Behind the Series

FACTS ABOUT THE STORY (&AUTHOR)

1. There should only be three books that featured the VENOM squad members and in my original plan, LOL champions were not included in the story. (The fourth book is unexpected.)

2. I played ML so I managed to write fanfictions about it but never have I ever played LOL. Still, I researched about it for the sake of the story. (Research is a must to avoid being bashed by LOL players.)

3. The book covers of the four books are made by only one person. Thanks to you, Bixbite Kyler Phaxton. For writers, you can message her on FB and request for a book cover.(She's also great at making vexel art.)

4. Kenshin's supposed to be only role was simply an illegal trader but because his role was so simple, I planned to make him appear on the third book. It was unintentional to have him play a big role on the third and fourth book. (Another unplanned event but I like the outcome.)

5. I read a lot of dispute between ml and lol players regarding which game was better. That was the drive that made me write the crossover of the two games. 'Cuz why fight over something like that when you can play both? (There's also an issue about plagiarism but I'll keep quiet about that.)

6. There were already a lot of characters so adding more would be a pain in the ass so I decided to turn Kenshin into Talon and only few LOL champions are included. (If I add more characters, it would be inevitable to have a fifth book😗. That's tiring! I also wanna write an original book, ya know.)

7. The first thing I searched about LOL was 'The most handsome LOL champion😂.' I found a list but looking at them, I didn't feel any spark when I imagined them being paired with Hanabi. Good thing I found Talon's skin, the Enduring Sword.(Plus, he looks mature enough and not too old or not too young for Hanabi. He's a good rival against Hanzo.)

8. I thought of lots of scenarios on how the story should end like; Hanabi will die on the hands of Talon, Hanabi and Talon ended up together, Talon went to live in the Moniyan Empire, Gusion and Lesley did not end up together and a complete sad ending for all the ships. But I believe in happy endings so the last one is a bit hard to write.(Also, I like writing bittersweet endings but I don't like reading 'em.)

9. Writing the books took more than one year to be completed. The fastest book that was completed is the second one. I'm planning on revising it together with the first book because there were lots of loopholes.(Grammatical errors as well and poor technicalities. They need a lot of rework.)

10. My favorite character is Hanabi even though she doesn't stand out that much. Plus, she's the only marksman I am familiar with when playing. I'm more of a tank user that's why. How about you? Who's your favorite?(Lemme know.)

11. Writing the parts whenever Talon appeared were really fun. And honestly, I want to write more about him but probably next time. I grew fond of him, lol. (But I'll rest in writing fanfictions for now. I need to work on my original series.)

12. Writing the action scenes were challenging. I hope how I wrote the scenes managed to help you imagine the scenery.(If not, let me know so I could improve better.)

13. Some scenes and personalities of the characters were inspired from the mangas I read while writing the fourth book. Imma list them down, you might want to read them as well🤔. (I recommend these, they're great mangas. You might also want to recommend a manga for me to read, lol.)
*Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest
*Koi Dano Ai Dano
*Hibi Chouchou
*Last Game
*Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet
*Ookami-heika no Hanayome
*Takane to Hana
*Haikyu!!
*Jujutsu Kaisen

14. I don't want Chang'e's death to be in vain, thus, the pixie named Enchanted is created and Harley's ending became like that.(Harley's ending was actually based from a dream I had and it was a great help in the story.)

15. I'm more of a panster writer which often leads to minor errors but results to major adjustments. But because of these adjustments, I manage to think of some events that better fits the story. But I am trying to do some outline to make things easier.(Panster writers don't make any outlines so the chance of having writer's block is higher.)

16. The reason why it took more months for me to finish Dawn at the Wild Rift was because I am writing two more novels. Resolve of a Mafia is already published in Novelcat while Stolen Crown is still ongoing. You might want to read it.

17. I never expected these ML fanfictions to be read by a lot of people. So it really made me happy to see readers voting and commenting their thoughts about it. I swear, I read every comment.

18. The ending I have been thinking is that Hanabi shall be sacrificed at dawn at the Wild Rift when Talon sacrifices her to the demon. This is to make it go along with the title but as you can all see, it had come a long way and I like how it turned out.

So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed reading the fan fiction just as much I enjoyed writing it. I know I have said this countless times already but I want to say it again. Thank you so, so much for reading this far and thank you for the votes and comments. If I have time, I might edit and revise the series since there has been a lot of errors I failed to notice before.

And thank you, my dearest Mina Marras for your support! I would not have reached this far without you, guys! More love and blessings for you all!
