Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it’s dull.Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time?Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone’s tale, not yours.Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing’s for certain: it won’t be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow?I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.'I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?[Goal of 1 chapter per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] Collapse Dungeons, High Fantasy, LitRPG, Magic, Male Protagonist, Non-human Protagonist, Isekai, Character Growth, Aristocracy, Secret Identity, Overpowered Protagonist, Special Abilities, Weak to Strong It's boring if you ask me Yes, I agree..

I guess it's just harder to filter trash there since they can put up any old trash. Bad is harsh. There are pros and cons to foreign and English authors. Traditional webnovelists get paid by the chapter, have barely any room for spacing, and need to be constantly writing to be relevant.

Modern day, people have realized you can make money off writing, so it’s because more of an industry in which there are two types of authors. Amazon publishing or patreon based.
