Finally all caught up on TAWWNM, great story, keep it up! I’m glad to hear there’s already plenty more written, and hope you see it through to the end!

SilasKriegsende

@NotHereEverMore Thank you very much for saying so! I'm jokingly aiming for 1,000 chapters, so if I say it enough times, maybe it'll come true xD

Silas, if you were position of someone that had very well verse with politics, education, medical, technology and had very strong military background because merit and hardwork you bulit so far enough and that suddenly you being summoned as saintess but in reality you wasn't fit became saintess due to you aware the words "No hero or saint/saintess is innocent" which is true interpretation for role of saintess, what you gonna do when in that situation?

SilasKriegsende

If you're going for a lighter story, of course, it's better to focus less on emotions like guilt and more on the wonders of adventure, but you can always have that guilt lingering in her heart, even as she tries to forget her past in the new world. After all, almost everyone can relate to escapism in some way or another.

this message may be offensive
In fact, that would be a good backstory AND brief enough scene for a flashback; she has a purple heart because she hesitated to kill an enemy who was feigning surrender and stabbed her in the back, especially effective if it was a woman or child (though, an adult man would be safer). She manages to kill him with her sidearm, but being her first kill, and someone younger than her, it messes her up. She carries the weight of both her foolish hesitation and turning her back on a potential enemy, and then she still killed him. This is heavy, believable, and fits the requirements of not even she believing that she can be called a saint. Also, this can weigh even more heavily if someone else close to her got killed by the enemy she failed to kill or bind, making her guilt even worse.
            
            Then, when cornered by corrupt or malicious parties in the new world, she finally kills. This scene can be even more effective if, not only for herself, but she kills someone to save another person's life, helping her atone a little for her failure in the past.

Anyways, those are my recommendations. Apologies if it seems preachy. I would focus more on the story ahead of your saintess, rather than her backstory. Backstory is good for the characters she meets along the way, or is simple enough to summarize and make MC relatable while also explaining how MC gets through his/her decision making process.
            
            So, the real story would be how she avoids the fact that she has killed someone, or even just wounded someone in combat, or if the summoners are corrupt, how she escapes their clutches and what she does afterwards. Avoid deus ex machinas as much as possible, where someone or something comes out of nowhere to rescue her from the situation. You can have her meet a character like a knight who helps, but set up their relationship and a believable way for the knight to be able to help. Then, treat the organization/summoners like the grim reaper or the monkeys in those speedrunning games where you die if you lose time to traps and such because of bad jumps. What I mean by that is, believably have them closing in on heroine, even when she's certain she's gaining distance or spending too much time with an adventuring party. Then, you could even have one or all members of that party sell her out. Maybe they think they're just selling her for a little extra cash, but she ends up in the hands of the organization, or royals who want to "breed" her powers into their bloodline, or doctos that want to exploit her, or someone who thinks he can gain immortality. She's not truly a saint, though, so maybe she overcomes her past trauma and kills to escape.

Silas, you ever wonder why Rikuto feeling his downfall may come to him?

SilasKriegsende

@AmbarAnak Rikuto will eventually have experience to fall back on xD
Reply

AmbarAnak

@SilasKriegsende Probably his experience in military for decades was pays off while Rikuto tried his best became a better king but he wasn't fit to became king due to his naivety nature.
Reply

SilasKriegsende

@AmbarAnak Yes, Daniel's combined life experience of the Navy, as well as a maintenance tech for private companies after that have tempered his youthful emotionalism, where Rikuto is pretty fresh out of high school, which anyone with a brain knows doesn't matter immediately after high school. It just takes a while to realize that xD

Silas, ever played Command & Conquer in computer?

SilasKriegsende

@AmbarAnak I have not played it. I barely play anything anymore, sadly lol. When I do, it's usually Monster Hunter, Mass Effect, Witcher 3, or most recently, I played Space Hulk: Deathwing. But, as I said, I barely ever play anything anymore. Not enough time in the day for everything xD

AmbarAnak

Because my friend of mine plays that not too recently but more likely very quite while to play that game.

AmbarAnak

Yo Silas, it been a while.

SilasKriegsende

@AmbarAnak Rikuto wouldn't necessarily know anything about Brosjak, and it'll take time for him to learn about the destruction of the Orbicharium, plus, he doesn't have an abundance of troops to try to lead an invasion where the Empire has failed.
            
            That said, there's plenty coming down the pipeline! ;D

@SilasKriegsende That leaves them unable to find their adversary weakness, rendered it useless.

AmbarAnak

@SilasKriegsende I wonder Rikuto and others react of Brosjak's death and surely it enough made a good news for them but bad news for Demon Army that loss of their intelligence capabilities for knowing their enemies.

Silas, did you find yourself being watched by stalker or kidnapper since was a kid?

AmbarAnak

@SilasKriegsende Luckily though im police informant in area of quite high kidnapping area that most quite rich kids got kidnapped.

SilasKriegsende

@AmbarAnak Yes, rich families are often targets. Mine has never been a wealthy family. Not destitute, thankfully, but definitely not rich.

Silas remember our discussions about new story for your future inspiration?

AmbarAnak

@SilasKriegsende Do you take my story idea if you wanted to? But i don't force ya if you want take my story idea became its yours.
Reply

SilasKriegsende

As I said, anytime you want to brainstorm, I don't mind, but unless I have a solid bout of inspiration suddenly, I don't if or when I would be able to write any chapters.

SilasKriegsende

@AmbarAnak I understand and I'm sorry to hear about your situation. That's a difficult place to be in.
            I'm flattered that you think so highly of my writing, but I'm afraid I can't commit to taking it on as a project. I have a lot of different things piled up already, which is among the many reasons I don't take requests for writing. I certainly don't mind helping you brainstorm when I have time, and you're certainly free to pass any and alll of my notes on your story to whomever you find available to tackle your project. I wish you the best of luck!
            I'm sorry that I can't say it'll be me, since I don't have the time, unless you were only looking at a shorter story, and even then, I don't know when I would be able to fit it in.

Silas, do you ever heard quote from Bruce Lee?

SilasKriegsende

@AmbarAnak Gotcha. Yes, I do try to show the fact that Daniel has a LOT to learn to be an emperor, and he receives a lot of guidance from those around him with more experience leading. But, he's also more interested in ensuring peace and prosperity for his family over the power of being an emperor, which is why he not-at-all subtly tries to convince everyone that Hekate is the true ruler.

AmbarAnak

@SilasKriegsende Bruce Lee's quote based on reflect on people or country ones ability, make example of Daniel's hardwork from mechanic to emperor of Citadel.

SilasKriegsende

@AmbarAnak Makes sense. To me, I take that as the martial arts equivalent of saying that a practiced and honed expert of one thing will always be more proficient than a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Very true in either context.
