Steve finds himself in the body of a cat. With a whole world to explore, and a fresh new life for him to start, he sets out to be a different person than he used to be; to carve out his own path on which he will never again be chained down by the expectations of others. The world is fickle, and there is much to see. With a system that drives people to keep moving forward, there will always be conflict. Will the ambitions of others sweep him off his paws, or will Steve brave the storm? Well, before any of that, he has to make his way out of a forest. What to expect: - Hard-working MC. To a degree, coming of age, given how he has to adjust to this new world and figuring out that despite his reincarnation, he is not super special. - Slow, but meaningful progression. The type where after a couple dozen chapters you think that the character has come far, but each step itself isn't super noticeable. - Meta humor. There is a narrator written into the story. I think it's funny. Might not be for you. - Worldbuilding. Once I find my footing and we're past the obligatory "start in the new world" part of the story, there will frequently be an in-world work of literature at the start of the chapter, diving into different aspects of the world. (Yes, this is an idea that I really liked in Chrysalis and applied here.) - Queer people. If you don't like LGBT+ characters in stories, this might not be for you. Weekly chapters on Friday! Average of 3000 words. Discord: https://discord.gg/6WYjbREPbC
