People sometimes think writing #SciFi or #Fantasy is easy: You just make it up. How hard can it be?

Very, as it turns out. Because rather than being able to look up how it works, you need to built a whole consistent, complete, non-contradictory society that is still fun to read.

I found a copy of my 1st attempt at a #LitRPG story.

"How to sharpen a cooking pot--tail weapons for dummies" is still in heavy rewrites, adding a ton of new material, alongside the character information typical for the genre.

But, a couple of scenes I might just keep.

Editing and got a question. My protagonist isn't aware her best friend is an ex-alcoholic. Oblivious, she begs a favor that causes him to drink again. Caught up in her own issues she doesn't notice his distress.

Would this push readers to actively dislike her?
