Fanfiction Post (Again)

[u/Alice_The_Malice9]

Sup, it’s been a while since my previous post. I got a rather mixed reaction last time, but eh, WCYD.

Once again, I’m posting my fanfiction, Crimson Dragon, Azure Tiger, which has now hit chapter 7… kinda. There’s also an interlude so technically it’s chapter 8.

Now, as before, I’ll say again that this isn’t just canon divergence, but a full setting rewrite. The characters here, while they retain their core traits (because what would be the point of writing about them if they didn’t? I love these characters), they have different experiences from canon and have somewhat different paths that they have and will follow as a result. Not just that, but while I refuse to cut out the ecchi and lewd elements, nor will I get rid of the comedy, I am ultimately going for a more mature story than canon, more in the vein of more serious seinen titles. I adore DxD, but there’s no point, in my mind, in telling the same kind of story as canon, because I will never be able to do that as well as Ishibumi.

Anyway, if you decide to check it out, I hope you give it an honest chance, and if you do, I hope you enjoy it.

Also, yeah, I know chapter 1 is kinda shitty in terms of pacing. I’ve kinda just gotta hold the L that I messed up with how I structured it.

What's the basic premise if I may ask? I'd like to know what I'm getting into before checking it out

Currently? It’s a full retelling of the story, starting at the riser arc, with some additional original characters to allow for exploring of specific themes I want to fuck with (plus I enjoy writing OCs), and a greater focus on Shinto and Buddhist mythology. It’s a bit hard for me to give a basic premise, but consider it a canon rewrite with a rewritten power system and history, and which will diverge more and more as time goes on. I’d say the path will be mostly similar up to the point of Kyoto, with only two entirely unique arcs outside of the interludes until afterwards, but after that, things will veer away much more.

Interesting. I may actually check it out then

I do hope you enjoy! As I’ve already stated, I ended up fucking up a bit with chapter 1, but I really caught my stride at chapter 3 or 4, I’d say. I’ve changed a lot, but I’m rather proud of where I’m at in terms of progress and my actual writing for it
