Thank you for reading The Soul Odyssey.
This was my first attempt at writing, and I learned a lot from it. Unfortunately, I don't think this story is worth pursuing any further despite it only really having begun.
As I often do with new projects, I came in with a huge project and overshot a little. But I don't regret this project at all, the is no way to improve without trying.
I learned a lot about writing and how to build a narrative with this project and have taken those lessons to heart.
Despite not being able to implement most of the ideas I originally had for this project, I am glad I was even able to write as much as I did.
Despite ending this story just as it was beginning, I think it would be best if I focused everything I learned from this story and channeled it into a different book.

I love the large world building and fantasy elements I had in mind, but also recognize the many flaws of the story. It tends to drag and has several subplots that are a little too loose and meandering. It is a rather narratively unfocused story since I was making up the 'smaller events' as I went, mainly to build up to the bigger events I had planned.
Truthfully, most of this story was unplanned as I wrote whatever came to mind. Most of the work went into the general powers of the character, the ability to reincarnate and experience magic in various forms and disciplines, which allows him to combine all the best knowledge from the multiverse and combine it into something that makes him a force to be reckoned with.
I don't think I will revisit this story any time soon, but I might try rewriting it from scratch in the future. Until then I will be making a vastly better book.
Taking the concept of a powerful reincarnated being thrown into a world that has forgotten of his existence. Using the system to grind his way up the ladder and level up. It will be more focused on leveling and monster hunting. A more action-packed and exciting story, with interesting side characters and humor.
I have corrected many of the issues of my first-ever story and think that this will be far more immersive for readers. It will involve a lot of monster hunting and dungeon delving and a stronger focus on leveling.
