Here's the link to ROTE->E

This thread is mainly for discussions, feedback, proofreads, updates and theories.

Please refrain from reading the novel if you don't deal with the following themes :-

1. child abuse.
2. mental health issues.
3. infidelity.
4 Gore descriptions.
5. violence.

Please be 100% okay if you want to read. It's all up to you.

This is where I get to chat with the readers for their interest in this.

They can also submit fanfic (no minor — adult relationship type romance) and fan art (please refrain from using AI).

The rules will be updated from time to time with reasons as well as the date of the amendments.

Edit 1 on 5/6/2025 - Also please report any errors in reading the book.
Edit 2 on 5/6/2025 - I gave the summary a spoiler tag.

Edit 3 on 5/8/2025 -

REGARDING FAN ART AND FANFICS :-

1) Absolutely no creation, sharing, or request of sexually explicit (18+) artwork featuring characters from ROTE, regardless of the characters’ age, context, or level of abstraction. This includes but is not limited to nudity, sexual acts, suggestive posing, or fetish content. Artistic reinterpretation does NOT bypass this rule — stylization, "aged-up" versions, or metaphoric visuals still fall under this restriction. Violations will result in you being permanently REMOVED FROM THE COMMUNITY AND YOUR POST WILL BE REPORTED. No warnings. No excuses.


2) No sexually explicit (18+) fan fiction involving characters from ROTE is allowed — under any circumstances. This includes smut, erotic scenes, suggestive or fetish-driven content, and any sexually charged material, even if disguised as metaphor, “aged-up” versions, satire, or dreams/hallucinations. It applies regardless of the characters’ age in the story or tone of the scene. If it wouldn’t be allowed in a PG-13 rated work, it’s not allowed here. No loopholes, no exceptions, no second chances — you will be permanently REMOVED FROM THE COMMUNITY AND YOUR POST WILL BE REPORTED.

If you read the story, you will understand why this rule is implemented.


Have a great time!

My buddy made this summary for the post that's how much they loved it! I am so thankful to them! It such a good piece:-

In a small town where nothing seems amiss at first, a group of friends—Casper, Sammie, and Thalia—find their lives upended when their enigmatic friend Coby mysteriously disappears, only to resurface with a chilling message: The end is coming. What begins as a cryptic treasure hunt soon spirals into a nightmare as the friends uncover dark secrets tied to Coby’s family, a shadowy cult, and an impending apocalypse.

As society crumbles around them—marked by violent outbreaks, institutional corruption, and inexplicable horrors—the trio must navigate betrayal, grief, and their own fractured trust to survive. But with every clue they solve, the stakes grow higher, and the line between reality and nightmare blurs.

Told through fragmented timelines, eerie messages, and heart-pounding action, ROTE is a psychological thriller that explores loyalty, trauma, and the lengths people will go to when faced with annihilation. The story’s first installment, "E," sets the stage for a larger mystery, leaving readers questioning: Who can be trusted when the world is counting down to its end?

Seems a little disjointed - and like 75% of that disjointedness is intentional, primarily to show the MCs state of mind. It works in that context but does make the flow a bit uneven throughout.
Actually it feels like it was meant to be the script for a manga or comic book, but is missing the artwork.

It is actually. That's the idea I went with. The competition's winners get to turn their web novel into manga.
That's why I uploaded the link to the competition so you guys could understand as to the context of the novel.

Also to note : -

Since I am not qualified to be a part of the competition due to my age, I didn't take it as seriously as I would have for any other competition. Knowing I would get disqualified, I experimented with different ideas and themes related to the given prompt. I didn't want to restrict the whole story to just one website, so I decided to break it into 4 sections. The 'E' section will only be available on honey feed, while the other three will be available on the all platforms I use to publish my work. Suffice to say, I did TONS OF CRAZY trauma dump in this one. For the series, the POV are like camera tapes which you will find out in the end, if you know what I mean.

Thanks a lot for the input @CharlesEBrown ! Glad that you pointed it.

Didn't know they had age restrictions on their contests - just knew that only one of the three I read the details of was something I had the time and interest to write, so did (and didn't even get an honorable mention).

They did implement it in their eligibility criteria. If possible, could you send me the link to your story?

It was originally something tossed out here as a joke in the Writing Prompt area and then a contest came up where it fit in fairly well so I ran with it...

Ah minimum age but no maximum (was actually expecting a range) - I would have been safe... :D
