TRAPPED

Fun Fact, FAQs and Promotion

Fun fact:  Actually, most of the names of my female leads are inspired by Greek mythology. I'm just a huge fan! HAHAHA. (To clarify, it's actually Atalanta in Greek, not Atlanta, but I misread it, kaya naging Atlanta tuloy XD)

Based on my research and stock knowledge:

Atalanta is a heroine in Greek mythology, Princess of Arcadia, a member of the Argonauts, and often associated with unmatched speed, earning her the title "Goddess of Running."

Astraea, in ancient Greek religion, is the daughter of Astraeus (god of dusk) and Eos (goddess of dawn). She's known as the virgin goddess of justice, innocence, purity, and precision.

Circe (from my most recent story) is a minor goddess of magic. She's sometimes described as a nymph, witch, enchantress, or sorceress.

So yes, mythology really fuels my imagination! That said, I'm excited to promote my latest story (it's still ongoing, but I update it regularly!).

Story Description:

Ten years after the zombie outbreak, Circe and her younger sister Calliope were forced to move into the wrecked city of Guan after their hidden village was discovered and destroyed by the armies of the New People's Federation. There, the sisters are thrown into a ruthless game called "Survival of the Fittest", where players must battle not only each other, but the undead that haunt every shadowed street. Determined to live, Circe makes a choice: to survive, she must be willing to kill.

In this world, hesitation is death. Only the fittest survive-and Circe is prepared to prove she is one of them.

"She who is fittest, survives."

FAQs

#1: Anong kaibahan ng SOTF sa TP (Trapped)?

– Unlike Trapped, SOTF will be bloodier, scarier, more thrilling, and packed with more action and killing scenes. Trapped revolves around the dark past of Astraea and Atlanta and the demon called Abandon, while SOTF is more grounded in reality. It explores a realistic scenario before, during, and after a zombie apocalypse. SOTF focuses more on survival, while Trapped centers on the characters' identities.

– Also, Trapped was raw and unedited, that's why it wasn't perfect. It had a lot of grammar issues, punctuation errors, and plot holes. But I still love it for what it was because it's where I grew as a writer. With SOTF, I can assure you that, as much as possible, these issues have been resolved.

#2: What is the similarity between DSOTF and TRAPPED?

– Both stories revolve around one city. Trapped is set in the City of Abaddon, while DSOTF is set in the City of Guan. The characters will not go beyond their city. Also, like Trapped, DSOTF will focus on friendship, sibling relationships, unfolding character secrets, reverse harem (still unsure though), and love interests.

#3: What is the difference between the characters of TRAPPED and SOTF?

– The characters in Trapped are mostly students (because they actually are), which means they deal with immaturity, indecisiveness, confusion, family and peer issues, complex character development, suicidal thoughts, emotional breakdowns, selfishness, and the consequences of making mistakes. 

On the other hand, in SOTF, the characters are more mature than their actual age, shaped by the harsh experiences they've endured over the years. They have a constant survival mindset and are used to fighting for their lives every single day.

#4: Is the main female character of DSOTF as badass as the female lead of Trapped?

– Yes, she absolutely is. But as I mentioned, DSOTF is a more mature story. So unlike Astraea/Atlanta, Circe thinks before she acts. She's composed, straightforward, intuitive, and remains calm under pressure. More than just being physically capable, she's also emotionally and mentally intelligent—which makes her strength feel grounded and real.

#5: Is the male lead of DSOTF as red flag as Daze?

– HAHAHA no. Actually, I'm not sure what the exact definition of a "red flag" character is, but since a lot of people in the comment section hate Daze and ship Astraea/Atlanta with Diego, I thought, "Did I write Daze's character too much?" HAHA. No idea. I just wrote what I wanted at the time and didn't expect Daze to turn out harsher than I imagined. And then... I killed Diego. And now I realize how mean I am. SORRY, PEACE. 

But in DSOTF, I assure you, the male lead is 100% green flag (for me). Not gonna give more details, just read it HAHA.

#6: May special chapters ba ang trapped?

– Sorry, wala. I really miss them because they're my characters, but wala talaga. I'm not fond of making special chapters.

#7: Will you revise or edit trapped?

- I don't know, but I like it raw. I don't want to change anything because I enjoy looking back and comparing my writing style then and now. So, no. 

#8: Is DSOTF worth it?

– Yes, babe. If you loved Trapped, then you'll surely love DSOTF or maybe even love it more. Trust meeee.

So that's it guys. Hope you'll check out Detrimental: Survival of the Fittest Thank yah!
