Check this out, dudes and dudies

This is my first original novel, so to say. I'm working with an editing tool and a thesaurus as extensions, so the grammar nazis won't be after my poor soul. I'm from Uzbekistan, of Karakalpak descent, so there will be many cultural references linked to the place of my origin. I think it is a great opportunity for the readers from all over the world to get a glimpse at this mostly overlooked country.

Our protagonist will start his journey from Nukus (google it). I don't really know where he will end up as I don't have a concrete plan. I don't lack in ideas, but I have to admit that I'm a total newbie. My editing is okay, so you don't have to cringe every second. I will try to mix in comedy, and if your sense of humor resonates with mine, then you'll have a splendid time indeed... well, maybe... you know, I can't guarantee it.

The novel will be about filmmaking. I don't have systematic knowledge of filmmaking, but I will try to make up with the story itself and also some research (good ol' google, charge!). When you see something inconsistent with reality, do point it out please, doesn't matter if you are a cinema hobbyist, film industry professional or just a Fortnite player - I will consider every opinion... well, I might not really take into account a Fortnite player's opinion, but still, give it a try.

By the way, you can also advise me on or recommend something about filmmaking, of course on the condition that it will be helpful - I'm talking to you Eddie, stop wasting your life on Fortnite, get your shit together Eddie.

I think that creators who disregard the consumers' opinion can be cool of course, but it is not really practical. But I also think that creators who cater too much for the consumers are even worse. So, I will try to strike a balance between two, by becoming Apple. Yes, you heard it right, Apple. It always seemingly disregards what their customers want, but actually, the products they release are what consumers didn't yet know they always wanted. So, Apple being ahead of the curve, I will try my best to emulate what they do. Heck, just being Xiao Mi of the world of novels is already great, and here I'm wanting to be Apple.

Anyway, you might have noticed that there is a more popular novel related to me. Yes, I'm just a translator of that novel, not my original creation. I will continue doing that for free in order to capitalize on its popularity, but I think it is okay, since I've been doing it without really expecting any reward or something. My conscience is clear. I'm telling you, my conscience is clear! Yes, I'm to be held responsible for the genocide in Laplandia, but my conscience has always been clear, my lawyer Lucifer can attest to that.

There may be or may be not romance. There might be some smut, as I probably will add some intimate scenes in order to develop the character of the MC better. You can definitely forget about wish-fulfilling harem. We do serious business, punk.

I'll definitely be using obscene words or phrases, so for the fainthearted - what the f*ck are doing here?

About the plagiarism, I might use some of the already released works as the basis, or draw inspirations from them, but most of the time I'll try to come up with my own original ideas for movies and whatnot.

Our MC will start his journey from January 2009, while I will start my own journey as the original writer from 12/24/2020
