Needed: Clever People with Clever Words
Added 2025-02-04 03:36:32 +0000 UTCButcher Volume 1 is heading to the narrator. It's slated to come out in July.
But...I need a tagline! A clever quip. Something niftier than "Welcome to Sedgewick." Much as I felt that was appropriate, it's not going to work for Amazon.
I immediately thought of "Have Cleaver, will Travel." but he doesn't really travel until book 3. And I doubt many people still remember the old western series with Paladin.
So, anyone have a clever idea?

“Welcome to Sedgewick, where the sausage is made”?

2025-02-05 11:07:48 +0000 UTCI have to be honest, I stopped reading the series after maybe 50 chapters. I picked up on the sausage thing just a bit ago. So yeah, into the pit with me. I agree.

2025-02-04 23:50:24 +0000 UTCIf you’re talking about a Subtitle, then maybe something like “First Cuts” or “Fresh off the Block.” if you want to include a little foreshadowing, you could go with “Everything’s Sausage!”

Robert Sutherland
2025-02-04 14:16:39 +0000 UTCIt's so difficult to quantify a story that incorporates the isekai/vrmmo/village SoL/LitRPG/Corporate tropes so many eastern and western fantasy novels try to identify as and yet still emerges greater than the sum of it's parts. The underlying draw for readers in the first volume reside within the struggle of a few against conglomerates and a rather pliable reality, so maybe Village vs Kingdom and Corporate
