Hey everyone, this is a challenge I am issuing to anyone and everyone. It's quite simple but it does need a bit of an explanation.
I got quite tired of everyone doing Gamer fics that were so good, but then just suddenly discontinued, and I may know why. In these Harry Potter Gamer fics, Harry got too OP ("Over Powered" for those that don't know), too quickly and then they had to make everyone else OP as well just to balance it out. Things obviously escalated to the point the Fic became dead, the writer just couldn't make any more plausible idea's happen without Harry starting to lose his increase bonus' in power, or the story just wasn't entertaining anymore.
So my idea is actually quite simple as I said, Harry's abilities and Bonuses will revolve around Gamer Perks. In previous fics Harry gets Stat Bonuses, Perk Bonuses, and abilities and so on.
This fic will be around Harry being a Genius and getting Perks through repeated actions that then help with his Stats, and abilities.
For Example: Harry has cleaned the Dursley house throughout his life, and cooked through most of it, this has unlocked the Perks: "Master Cleaner" and "excellent cook".
Master Cleaner: You are able to clean equipment and surfaces quicker than most to a higher standard than normal.
Excellent Cook: You are able to make/prepare food to a higher standard than normal and able to prepare ingredients, no matter what they are.
These two perks can help with potions class and after a while a potions Perk can become available. Perks will be used to enhance Harry, so that way writers can focus mostly on the story and Harry himself rather than game dynamics.
No Status Screen: Sometimes the status screen can be quite difficult, makes Harry too reliant on it or makes him too OP.
Instead Harry will be a Genius that can understand things quickly, and at 5 years old he instinctively is able to summon a Gamer Book, which enables him to see stats, and see what perks he has acquired and what they do. Perks cannot be bought but will add to his stats per level.
Perks and Skills can Level Up, for most they won't, but for repeated actions for things like Charms, Transfiguration and Occlumency etc. There will be 5-6 Levels: Novice, Adept, Professional, Master, Savant and the rare 6th level will be Prodigy (NOTE: this last level will be something that can only be achieved if Harry has a certain affinity for it, i.e. Runes, DADA and Occlumency. This will also mean Harry can take that Branch to new heights, Nicholas Flamel with Alchemy and Perenelle Flamel with Ritual magic).
The only thing that can help Harry will be a semi sentient form of Magic in the book labelled Tips; there can only be three tips at any given time to help him gain perks, for example:
Tips:
Focus on Running
Pick up a book on Mind Magics
Find out how wands work
This will be an example for Harry's First Year just before Christmas:

Abilities:
Transfiguration Novice Level: 70
Charms Novice Level: 88
Potions Adept Level: 20 (NOTE: because of his life of cleaning and cooking and Potions being theory mostly with simple steps to take for practical, Harry excelled in this area, thus going from a Novice to an Adept)
etc. etc. etc.
