Update, and need help · 1:02pm Feb 26th, 2020
First the update. I'd like to let you guys know that the newest chapter has been added and is ready for your enjoyment .
Second the help needed.
So I've been working on a new story while I was having writers block for my dragon story. The new story is gonna be an isekai style story. For those of you who don't know what that means its basically animes like sword art online, rising of the shield hero and a few others.
Now I don't want to tell you guys everything about it just yet, but I do need the opinion of people who either watch alot of isekai anime, or have played a lot of rpg mmo.
Ihave been hard at work thinking of the laws and mechanics for the story. And I want your guys opinion on how they look. Now keep in mind I'm borrowing ideas from different animes and shows. Also if you have any ideas I could add feel free to tell me in the comments.
Laws and mechanics
The islands in which the story will mostly take place on, can only be reached via transport gates that are located in the kingdom's capital of Equestria. Any attempt to reach or leave the islands without the aid of the gates ends in death. Similar to Greed Island from Hunter X Hunter) The gates are around 7 feet tall so anything that can't fit through them can not pass through. The princess Luna and Celestia, aren't able to pass through the gates.
Adventures Stats set up
HP. STR
MP. END
P.AT. DEX
M.AT. AGI
DEF. MAG
The stats on the right can be affected by means beside leveling up. Examples: With enough cardio workouts adventures can increase both their dexterity and agility. Taking damage can also help build up endurance.
Of course items can help influence an adventures stats like in rpg games.
Adventures will have a special pack that allows them to store multiple items, however they can only carry a certain amount of items at a time until they upgrade their inventory capacity.
Example
Lv1 packs can carry up to 200 items.
Lv2 packs can carry up to 300 items
And so on.
The weight of an object does not affect the adventures inventory or physical body.
Adventures can access their items and stats similar to that of SAO, the same mechanics are used when talking to friends.
Collecting materials from monsters are the same as the rules in Monster Hunters where after their HP is brought to zero, the adventure can carve out meat and parts of the monster before the body disappears.
If a monster that was carrying a weapon dies, the adventures are able to pick up those weapons (like in legend of zelda breath of the wild.)
Guild Ranking System (borrowed from Goblin Slayer.)
Rank 1:Platinum
Rank 2: Gold
Rank 3: Silver
Rank 4: Bronze
Rank 5: Ruby
Rank 6: Emerald
Rank 7: Sapphire
Rank 8: Steel
Rank 9: Obsidian
Rank 10: Porcelain
The rank of a guild member doesn't restrict them to taking on quest that are the same as their rank, the quest rankings are more like guidelines to prevent early deaths. While every adventure starts out at porcelain, those new adventures can still take on high ranking mission.
Examples
Pro adventurer Daring Do could join the guild and be given the rank of porcelain badge, but she could still take missions that are for silver ranked adventures.
You could not do a litrpg story. That would be cool.
*sigh* but if I suppose you must, you can go check out Royal Road for, like, a billion of them.
I think it's good
I think you have a solid framework but why have a separate mag stat when you already have mp and magic attack power? It doesn't really serve a purpose as far as I can tell. Everything else has a solid role to fill but I don't see what role the mag stat fills when you have the other two magic stats.
I'm not entirely sold on this style of story telling as I don't think it'll blend well with the current story, the current narrative style is well written and doesn't really need any changes.
Idk about the whole island thing but I have watched an unessesary amount of isekai anime. The stats you could have you character be insanly good a 1 or 2 things but not be so good at the rest or just be decently good at everything or be god like at everything. Or suck balls but no one likes that. The other stuff seems good but like I said I dont know if the island idea is good because it might set people off on the wrong foot. I think if you go the island root that there shoyld be a uber rare item on the highest difficulty island that lets you teleport to any cleared boss room on an island or whatever is there (kinda like overlord where eins has his floor tp rings). This is all opinion so dont take it too seriously if ya dont like it or like it a bit to much.
