I'm new to Tapas and I checked some of the forums for new story submissions. So far as I can see, I need 25 followers to be able to put the ads option on, as well as the ink donations. I have been submitting my work on Wattpad and Webnovel. I've gotten 10,000 views so far on only 23 chapters. I've got my stockpile added as scheduled releases and following another forum's advice, I am giving a shout out to the forums to let you know I'm here!
On Webnovel.com they have many cultivator serial webnovels. They had so many in fact that I began to see a pattern. MC is born into a world of martial arts. He is given something which puts him ahead of everyone else. It seems like everyone and their mother is out to get this guy, and yet he only relies on his own abilities to get ahead. He joins a sect which graciously accepts him. They bring him to said sect where he is instead treated like crap.
Also the Young Master which is scorned by the MC who seeks revenge. The young master is then promptly given a lesson by the MC. Then the older brother of the young master wishes to kick MC's butt. MC teaches him a lesson, then father, then grandfather, then city lord, then sect masters, then he just decides to move to the next location. Wash, rinse and repeat.
My book is my own silent hope that maybe I can make something different. Instead of joining a sect, he makes one. Instead of going to an academy to learn, he learns on his own.
I have a main character who doesn't do everything in the light. He instead infiltrates an establishment at night. He has ranged and close combat techniques. He's not going to have a following which resembles a harem by the time the series is completed. He's going collect all of the disgraced or ridiculed cultivators and help them achieve their full potential. He's not going to be an alchemist, instead he'll recruit a disgraced alchemist who was kicked out of his own sect because his master was jealous of his own abilities. He won't be an inscriptionist. Instead, he'll recruit one who has a severe attitude problem. He won't be a healer. Instead he will gain the trust of one who has confidence issues.
My MC is something this type of series hasn't seen before. He's a master infiltrator and tactician. He won't have any other abilities except for the one which draws others to him.
I really hope you guys enjoy it!
