    My novel consistently updates at a rate of 20,000 to 30,000 words per day. It's all hand-typed, no AI used. The first 30 chapters weren't very good, but the later chapters improved as I wrote, and I became more proficient at paragraph breaks. It's a blood-and-horror story, and the protagonist's life is anything but easy; it's not particularly enjoyable. The system isn't very useful. Later on, I'll add some chemical synthesis methods to make it more realistic. Please take a look! Not many people are reading it, and no one is rating it.
