Description: [edit] [history]

When Asha wakes up in the past after being killed by her fiancé, she realizes she has a chance to save herself and her family from their gruesome deaths. Her first order of business: getting out of the way so the man she loves can be with the woman he loves. But somewhere along the line, Asha starts discovering problems on a grander scale - schemes in the empire and the world that she hadn't noticed the first time around - which may have been the real reason why Asha and everyone in her House was murdered.

Will she be able to solve the mystery behind her fiancé's betrayal, and her own return to the past? Or will she be doomed to suffer another miserable end?

What world is the story set in?

Moonrise: When Hope Returns is set in a fantasy world with magic, aura, demons, and gods. There exists monarchies and nobility, as well as various religions from monotheism to polytheism.

Cultures, customs, and faiths are made up, so there will not always be similarities to real world / other fiction worlds.

Writing style: Present tense with inner monologues

Edited on Chapter 33 release: What kind of character is the protagonist Asha?

Asha starts off as a regressed villainess who doesn't carry everything over, in the truest sense.

What this means: her character evolves as the world around her & her knowledge change.

Are we going to see a lot of action?

There's a bit more content that suits the Adventure genre label from Chapter 35 onwards, though the initial chapters are more focused on politics / high society games / setting the stage & characters.

Is this story told entirely from one viewpoint?

No, it switches between different characters' points of view. 'Perspective' is one of Moonrise's main themes. Expect unreliable narrators everywhere.

Added on 2nd phase chapters' release: I'm here for the time loop / time travel. Can I just start reading from Chapter 33?

If you prefer, but I write chapters on the assumption that readers already 'met' the cast earlier and sort of know who I'm talking about. Plus the earlier chapters hold hints.
