*The Passive Tyrant was once known as the Passives Tyrant. Those that had come up against her made the assumption that she had only stacked passive skills due to her lack of active skill usage and her absurd physical capabilities. It was later shortened to the Passive Tyrant, partly because of her lack of presence in the war.

There was a biblical quote Ryan remembered vaguely. Something about needing to shove a camel through the eye of a needle.
Some might think of it as an impossible task. Something you told people so that they might change their ways for the better.
Ryan didn’t think like that. Come on, be more creative! Grind up the camel and mince the pieces into miniscule mush, then strain it through. It was a lot of effort, sure but… Actually, he lost that train of thought.

So, a well respected (10k followers) author has all but yelled at me to change my title. I bet after all this time you're attached to the name Tyrants of Earth as I am. The unfortunate bit is that the title implies grimdark which ToE is not.
It may be what is driving away a lot of readers before they even click.
There is no promise here that I'll change anything based on these polls. A big part of me wants to keep the title and damn the marketability, and I might just do so.

Ryan Robinson, the [Rebellious Rogue] sat by a hill overlooking a small town. Lazhen was a barebones place of about a thousand Realmers and a vagrant adventuring population. It was more of a waystation and a meat processing town that had the essentials for adventurers to relax while they reported or waited to use the interrealm portal.
Most towns in leveled zones didn’t tend to be large, often just created to be a waystation. After all, who would want to raise their families in a plac...

Amperdon steaks are a culinary delight. Known to rival the demand of real A5 Wagyu on Earth while providing a different experience. Their demand is matched only by the difficulty in reserving meats smuggled out by adventurers.
