Description

Misaka is a shy misunderstood 16-year-old boy in his first year of high school in Japan. His parents wanted him to be a girl, so they gave him a girl's name. He grew up being bullied and ostracized by his peers. In junior high, he developed a crush on a girl in another school who greeted him with a smile. Later, he found out the girl's name was Lucy and applied to the high school she was going to. One year later, he musters up the courage to confess his feelings for her only to find out that she was the wrong girl all along. Suddenly, a piano falls on top of him and he dies.He finds himself in front of one that calls himself God. He takes pity on Misaka and bestows him with the name Durrendal. He gives him another chance at life in another world and lets him pick a power of his choosing to take into the world.Story is going to be heavy reader interactive. Expect short frequent chapters. One chapter every few days. Two per week minimum. If I feel like it, more than that.Your choices WILL influence the story. It determines whether you get a game over (may discover new information), go around in circles never advancing the story, or advancing the story. Consequences of certain actions will shift Durrendal toward evil or good. The default personality of Durrendal may be ""pervy"" but depending on the actions that he takes it can be reversed. Think of the character as a game character. You are playing a game.It does not require that you make an account to vote. So screw around or advance the story? It's up to you.

This story has an interesting premise. A guy is reincarnated into a baby with all his memories intact and the author uses polls to determine what happens next. I like this sort of interaction as it shows that the author cares about what the readers want. However, the author has decided to basically ignore the polls.
To explain how the author ignores the polls, after people vote and if the author doesn’t like it, then the author writes a “bad end” and restarts the chapter while “allowing” us to pick another path. This only gives us the illusion of choice and input in the story. So why the author would bother giving us that option if the author didn’t even like the options given to us to choose from is beyond me.
To me, saying that you will write what the audience picks means you will write the story and continue with how the readers picked. Otherwise, you have given the readers the exact opposite of what was promised.
The story itself isn’t bad at all. The MC has an interesting power that isn’t what it sounds like. The grammar is very good; there are few errors that I saw. It is completely readable if somewhat lacking in general. It doesn’t feel like this is the best work the author can produce. It is almost like the author has a passion for it but has become slightly bored and is only writing while waiting for inspiration to strike for another story.
Story is now dropped. Sad day.
