I have been working on a labor of love for my light novel called "Piercing the Shroud of Strength" for the last 6 months. I have the first half of it done (and fairly well edited, but it is still most definitely a second draft. However, I only just started the second half, and have not had anyone beta it, and thus it may be a bit rough.
This story is based heavily in my love of anime/manga, but it is my own. It contains many of my own values/views on life. I personify my own person into many aspects of my characters. I believe the stronger I identify with my story, the stronger I will be able to actually write it.
I intend to self publish this book, and have a good amount of artwork done for it by a professional artist.
all the categories I would put my book in.... Fantasy/super power/romance/fighting/martial arts/comedy/drama/tragedy
And here is a summary of my story as well as a link to read what I have available online (Though I can easily send a digital copy of a more current version)
Summary:
Sazakira was a magical country ruled by strength. All else was cast to the wayside. The system of governance was battle. The last one standing in the aftermath of the carnage was crowned supreme ruler of those who were left, the weak. Only the strongest would be granted privilege to choose Sazakira's way of life. In an effort to produce stronger and stronger warriors, schools of battle were established. They were places where the young would be raised in the art of war. Taught to harness their unique skills and abilities, they would need them to defeat their greatest adversaries, each other. This system would crush the weak and elevate the strong.. It was this system that ensured Sazakira dominated any country that challenged its strength. However, Uzario, a school made to temper people into weapons, was unknowingly forging a sword that would destroy this tradition.
