Update

I’m seriously thinking of dropping Utopia. I know the ending and stuff but my motivation is running thin with this series. I no longer am interested in BTS or Kpop as I used to be.

However, I’m already finished with the first arc so I’m contemplating.

The question is, should I? It’s still undetermined but it’s there.

UTOPIA [ 7 ]

Pairing: BTS x Y/N

Synopsis: Y/N L/N, the name of the current monarch of Corea. They became the ruler after successfully ending the previous king along with the dynasty as well. In their harem, countless men are present to help balance the court’s power. However, is this truly their intentions? The palace was always a place that needs to be proceeded with caution but as time goes by, recklessness would most likely outweigh it. You found yourself unable to prosper the kingdom without being too connected to it.

HaremAu!

A/n: Finally finished this chapter. This chapter marks the end of the first era where the main ensemble finally unite. However, this is also the start of something else. Tell me what you think, 🌿.

Masterlist

Humming a quiet melody, you felt the air around you stirred. Closing your eyes, you focus on the sensation of the flow around you, patiently waiting for a response. Expectedly, your question was not answered.

Nevertheless, you knew better than to give up your standing and continue to participate in this wordless battle. After all, as a member of the Crimson branch, it would hurt your pride to lose to such a miscellaneous game.

Slowly but surely, the air around you both began to constrict, seemingly trapping you in its borders. However, instead of surrendering to either of your guys’ unmoving selves, none made a move in anything close to failure and instead, waited.

Such a manipulator.

Seconds steadily merge into minutes, and before you know it, you are left with a quarter of an hour before having to head back. Looking at the entrance of the alley, it had seemed that the sun was already setting. Turning around to meet Raven’s eyes, you let out a smirk before pushing yourself off the walls.

“ If you don’t have anything to say then I guess there is no other purpose being here,” you taunted, heading towards the bustling street.

Purposely exaggerating your steps to enhance the sound of your shoes colliding with the floor, you confidently walk the opposite way, not glancing back. However, before you can bathe under the colourful lanterns, an arm slid around yours, pulling you back into the darkness.

Quick to hide your growing smirk, you let yourself be dragged back deep within the alley. Turning around, you look down at the piercing eyes, staring menacingly into your own.

“ Stop joking around,” Raven warned.

“ Answer my question then,” you insisted, “ Why have you called me?”

Update:

Apologies, little seedlings for not being active. I have almost finish the next chapter of Utopia but is currently stuck on the ending as it marks the end of the first era. However, I am hoping to finish that soon.

Aside from that, I have spent a copious amount of time thinking of other possible plots for the future. Not sure which will become reality but we’ll see.

From,

#192: Why Write?

For a long time, writing was pretty much the only way for your ideas to spread. You had to go to a publisher who put your piece inside their magazine or printed an edition of your book.

Then the Internet came along. Computers went from tasteless pieces of humming furniture to become extensions of our brains. These days, your options as a creator are unlimited. You can make TikToks and YouTube videos. You can record podcasts, build apps or design games that have the potential to reach millions of people around the world.

There have never been so many things to do. With the abundance of options, people have less and less time to read. There’s more competition than ever before. So why even bother? Why should you be writing instead of pursuing something more modern?

Writing is Efficient

Despite all the progress in graphics and multimedia, most people still prefer the written word because it’s efficient. A video runs at a certain speed and has to digested in sequence. You can read paragraph slower or faster, depending on how fast a reader you are.

Writing remains the dominant way to communicate online. It’s here to stay.

Writing is Intimate

No other medium allows you to get inside the protagonist’s head quite the same way. Writing a story from the first person POV allows your readers to experience what you did from the same perspective. This makes us recognise and accept the differences between people.

Writing is Simple

You don’t need any fancy tools or equipment. You can write anything by simply showing up and doing the work.

You can make anything by writing.

Writing Makes You a Better Thinker

Writing things down helps you make up your mind and process your thoughts. Many writers say that they often don’t know what they think unless they write it down.

Is It Worth It?

The chances of commercial success may be slim, but that doesn’t mean that all this is a waste of time.

Even if you don’t go on to become the next Stephen King, being able to tell a good story is invaluable no matter what you do. There’s no downside to learning to write well.

The only problem is that you’ll need to learn it yourself. Writing teachers can direct you to the right door, but you’ll have to go through alone. They will teach you about writing, but you’ll have to have the discipline and put the hours in yourself.

So is it worth it? Absolutely.

hello,, i don't want to come out as offensive, but is the Y/N in harem au have a specific sex like either a boy or a girl? or is Y/N like a non-binary? thank u so much loving the updates!

Hi, love, definitely not offensive at all 🌿. I try to make my Y/N as gender neutral as possible but if you squint, there are certain features that I couldn’t avoid ( long hair, tall frame, etc. that suit the situation ).

I might have accidentally slip in features that are more specific to a specific gender? Apologies, but in the harem au, Y/N is gender neutral.

Now, is there any mistakes I need to fix? Thank you for interacting with me either way 🌿
