TBH, I really don't know how to raise awareness of stuff on #RoyalRoad, other than to post about it on #selfpromosaturday

Surely there's a better way, but my view numbers don't support that

Anyhoo, #deepsea #mermaid epic fantasy adventure #ahoy

And finally (I have too much stuff for #selfpromosaturday, really!), there's this story updating currently on Royal Road

Mer Manoa, my deep-sea #mermaid epic tetralogy.
Just a little more to write before it's done!
(a lot more to update on RR, tho)

The thirteenth chapter of Kirra's journal is out! It's got political intrigue and a mounting military offensive! ...but Kirra's more interested in the social caste.

An excerpt from the new chapter. It reads as follows: I have observed what seems to be a sort of caste system within the ranks of the merchants here. It is not a system of oppression, as the castes enforced by the Gods often were, but one of privilege. Many aspects of trade here are restricted to those in the higher castes; you may not seek an audience with the upper councils, deal in certain “high-risk” goods, or access certain facilities within the city unless you are of an appropriate rank. New and aspiring merchants, or those with no local connections or global reputation, start at the bottom caste and can work their way only through conducting business and forming connections with other merchants. As I described before, the people of Emberfall are incredibly straightforward and honest, but they are not so naive as to expect others to follow those same customs; foreign merchants are welcomed, but they must prove through action that they are capable of fair and honest trade. Ascending the ranks within this merchant caste can only be achieved through the recommendation of others. There seem to be six tiers, and respected members of the second tier and above form councils that simultaneously moderate the merchants and serve as the nation’s governing body. Anyone can join a council of their tier or below, if they accept the work that comes with it, and it is these council members who are responsible for vetting and promoting merchants from the lower castes. Essentially, one must form connections and impress their superiors to gain a higher status.

I'm working on a LitRPG, it's not my main work so it's a long way from finished, where the MC loses their dominant hand moments before the story starts.

The magic of levelling seals off the wound, but they have to learn to live with their off hand being the only way to manipulate things.
