I plan to write something to keep my writing skills in check but problem is - I have too many story premises to choose from in my old notes. Could you kindly help me choose in a final round where I narrowed it down to just a few?
1. A boy with impossible dream, his fate foretold, his future blocked by a dragon. Basically, it's your average adventure story in a fantasy world, with a few relatively unexpected twists and some obscure hidden meanings.
2. Sheltered little princess before, now she slowly turns into mindless bloodthirsty monster for sins of her parent. Betrayed and scarred, left with nothing, alone. Each her day now is a struggle to keep remains of her humanity. Will she find salvation or death? Maybe both?
(no romance to easily heal broken MC, at least not in already planned part of story)
3. It's your typical litrpg about deep dive VRMMO game featuring detailed fantasy world ruled by AI-gods with extensive interactions with those gods for players to explore. But it's secretly a huge dating simulator designed to induce birth of true sentient artificial intelligence. And MC treating it as just another game ditches seemingly useless young goddess of love and fertility for "old man" god of crafts who gives noticeable benefits from the start.
(no BL though)
4. MC had almost infinite life, ability to grant the same to his partners and corresponding almost infinite harem with the best girls in the world. And what did he do with all that? He sacrificed them all in a bloody ritual trying to create perfect girl that should match his apparently perfect self. No one will know if girl that emerged from ritual really was perfect or not as she instantly killed MC and herself led by resentment accumulated from myriads of souls. MC was then dragged into reincarnation cycle to atone for what he did while living as mortal and keeping a bit of his past memories. Will you bet on him doing exactly that? I'd rather not.
Any random thoughts on it are welcome too.
