Writing exercise explanation
I'm going to re-tell a translated japanese web-novel as a writing exercise. Hopefully, my grammar will be a lot better than the source material. Speaking of which here's the official title and summary,
Isekai Tensei – Kimi to no Saikai made Nagai koto Nagai koto
Here is what I'm planning to do,
Why am I doing this?
My creative muse isn't doing anything. Which meant that I needed to look for an alternative. As the saying goes, "Good artists copy, great artists steal". So, if I can't come up with ideas to write upon, why not make use of someone else's? Hopefully, this will exercise my creative muscles to come up with more of my own ideas.
For how many chapters will I keep this up?
No idea. Perhaps I'll go all the way, or perhaps the source material will reach a point which disgusts me to the point that I drop the whole thing.
Will commenting in this thread encourage me to write more?
Yes, of course! I like hearing from my readers.
I think you are plagiarizing and want to complain to staff!
That ... is unfortunate. As a current member of staff (at time of writing) I'll refrain from voting on the issue and will accept any decision handed down by the rest of TFF staff.
Where did you find that description from?
Oh! I picked it up from this website = https://www.novelupdates.com/series/isekai-tensei-kimi-to-no-saikai-made-nagai-koto-nagai-koto/ It's where I found this story on.
That should be enough explanation. The next post will be the prologue chapter.

Isekai Tensei – Kimi to no Saikai made Nagai koto Nagai koto
I was a delinquent that died when an accident occurred on a school trip. When I realized it I was the growing son of a farmer in another world. In this world where demons and demi-humans were in the middle of a war, I didn’t have some ability that made me a hero nor did I have magical powers. I didn’t know anything useful.
Then, why was I reincarnated?
Wait a second, when I reincarnated, was the girl who was my classmate that was riding on the same bus also reincarnated in this world? Alright, I’ve decided! I’ll reunite with that girl, and reach her with the feelings I couldn’t express in my previous life.

- read a translated chapter
- make up my own summary for the chapter
- re-write (or re-type?) the chapter with an online editor
- post the re-written chapter in this thread
- make another post with my summary and a link to my online editor for live comments
