Indulgence; Alola Chapter

Allow me to formally welcome you to Indulgence, hopefully a series of fanfics of my Self-Insert character venturing through all kinds of worlds and such on a lengthy adventure of discovery and friendship. This will include him being a gary-stu to an extent in terms of abilities, though I aim to have it be reasonable when people like or dislike him.

This will be a harem-fic eventually, and I hope to do it in a way that's not too out of place. I'm going to do my best not to bog down the female leads with an abundance of women, but we'll see how that goes. As of writing this, my ideas are still taking shape. I do hope to eventually send the MC to Genshin, which we all know is a mess of characters on account of being a gacha game. I also hope to make the romances at least somewhat grounded, and am expressly avoiding explicit smut. I may write a side-fic for that, but we'll see how that goes.

On the topic of romances, there will be eventual poképhilia within this series. It won't be explicitly in this fic, though it may toe the line, but will exist further on in the future. I will have some justification for the matter, and it won't be Human-x-Pokémon on the technical sense, but I plan on including Pokémon Mystery Dungeon as a sequel, so take that how you will. If that kind of thing bothers you, this fic should be relatively safe for you, and while I can only ask you to give future fics a chance, all I can do is ask.

In terms of plot, this entire series is more of a 'journey' rather than 'destination' kind of story. It's about a boy making friends, becoming stronger, and discovering what he wants from his own life. If that kind of thing bores you, then I hope you can find enjoyment within this fic, or find one better suited to your tastes.

This entire thing is a passion project to me. I do it for free in my spare time because I love writing, and I love this world I'm building and the characters I'm having the joy of watching come to life. It's not gonna be perfect, and there'll be plenty of plot holes and such. I understand that may frustrate you. I ask that you review so I can fill some holes I may have left, and we can work together to make this a fun fic you can look back fondly on.

Thank you so much for all of your support, and I hope to continue earning your support in the future.

Much appreciated,

ActivatedNeuronSensei
