You could always put the story on Scribblehub, they don't seem to be so tightly wound. Just call your account over there Dr.Doritos-after dark

2026-01-06 19:55:17 +0000 UTCI've reviewed the guidelines and I'm like 99% sure I'm good. Still waiting for their response though. Worst case scenario, I upload a slightly cut version on RR and a normal version here

2026-01-06 15:26:55 +0000 UTCIn the (i believe and hope) unlikely scenario RR does take issue, is it likely the story will be continued here/elsewhere? The way you've tied in theology to the story - demons taking advatage of shortsighted humans, prayer not always answered immediately nor always in the way you expect, etc - is grounded and character-focussed in a way that makes the story feel much more impactful and gritty than the standard power fantasy. Certainly not common for isekai on RR, IMO. Because of that, i dont think they'll take issue with it. If you decide to go the stub/book route fully, i'll preorder (or DIY) a physical copy in a heartbeat. Looking forward to the update - best of luck bossman π«‘

2026-01-06 06:36:51 +0000 UTCThank you for your input. I'll wait and see what the moderators have to say. Depending on how they view the current situation and how I choose to address it, it could be an easy fix, or it might not. Chapter 67, I assume, would probably be a bit too direct to upload to RoyalRoad, considering it makes a hard claim. All made by the characters, technically, but I can see some readers having issues with the way I designed the setting and lore of the world.

2026-01-06 01:57:02 +0000 UTCThe discussion is more theological and philosophical if any. Around tenets of faith rather than specific religion itself. So many other stories do this on RR. You're just being a bit more concrete about it. Worst case scenario I know kanadaj and can talk to him about this to see if there are any issues.
