[Warning the RRL Editor messed some things up. I am trying to fix that.
In addition, there are frequent POV changes in the first chapters. However, first and third person POV become the norm after some chapters.
OP-Protagonist ahead]
Another more important warning:
However, be advised that I am not a native English speaker. Besides, I am not a professional author. I'm just your average German student with an average grade in English. That leads to the fact that this story has something of an attempt and a Draft.
Therefore, everything is subject to change, including the cover photo, title or even character names.
This may no longer be the case once I have a reasonable understanding of writing a novel. I have no great style; it is less than average at best. My characters are weird, yet I try to let them feel human. My grammar is at an average level for a student and not even mediocre for an author. I never wrote novels. I mostly wrote analyses and I am just using the experience I have gained there.
You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with limited editing. I do a spellcheck with Grammarly and some other software yet mistakes will still exist.
In addition, the RRL Editor messed a little bit up. Some paragraphs are at completely weird places or you can find some strange symbols &sas or something like that. I am currently trying to find a solution for that.
Important notice:
The novel is updated at least once a week and at least once a month if I can't follow my schedule. I'm just a student and really busy.
Disclaimer:
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
The cover illustration was made with Paint.net, Microsoft Paint, Inkscape and postermywall.com
EDITING/PROOFREADING:
I did a rewrite and I don't know if there are some mistakes left, but I guess it should be okay now. At least I hope so ._.
If you want to become a proofreader and help me, feel free to PM me. However, I cannot give anything in return.
Explanation:
Rewrite means rewrite proofreading done
Rewrite NP means rewrite no proofreading done, high chance of mistakes
Check Ongoing = This poor me reads that chapter and searches for some issues with the Editor. Also, adds some stuff. -> I would appreciate if you rate that in separate parts. Prologue until the chapter before the check + chapter with check + last one.
