The Lesser Evil, an original 127 page long story written by myself (Steels12) is one of a man travelling and post-apocalyptic undead wasteland in hopes of finding out just who he is, and from then on, wishing he never had. The world and creatures in The Lesser Evil are based upon those found on The Shotbow Network and I give them credit (and urge you to go check out their awesome server). That, however does NOT mean that you need any prior knowledge of The Shotbow Network in order to follow and enjoy the story. Due to the sheer size of this story I will refrain from posting it here, but will instead provide you with a link to the forum post on which it was written. I find it to be a much more enjoyable reading experience on said forums.
The Lesser Evil is currently 72 chapters long (including prologue), with each chapter being roughly a page long towards the beginning, while some later chapters extend into three pages each. I had not expected it to get as long as it did, but what's done is done. Unfortunately, The Lesser Evil is unfinished. I have no immediate intentions to finish the story for personal reasons, and if ever I were to go back and finish the story I would first rewrite a majority of the existing 127 pages. The largest reason I have discontinued the series is the lack of continuity in my writing skill, as is made obvious between early and late chapters. I have gotten much better at writing over time, and I feel the amateur writing of the beginning has brought the more skilled writing of later chapters to an unacceptable level (in my eyes). Regardless, I do hope the current 127 pages will entertain you all, and I'd love to hear feedback.
Pretty damn cool story. Will be making sure to read the full way through. Made it to chapter 4 and so far the characters seem pretty complex and endearing. The descriptions are pretty good and the action has a certain weight to it.
Nice. Wasn't really crazy about all the profanity, but still, well done. I'm sad to see you aren't continuing this series, so best of luck on your next one!
