Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

Hello everyone, I am a struggling writer just passing by…

Before coming to SF (an online fiction platform), I had written some fan fiction. However, my writing skills are still lacking. This is my first time writing original content and using the first-person perspective. On top of that, the protagonist has undergone a gender transition, so I’m a complete newbie.

The story of the first volume ends here, but it’s actually not finished. When I got to this point, I realized it had reached 100,000 words.

Upon close examination, there are quite a few issues with this book. For example, Anna hasn’t had a single successful moment of swaggering over others in 100,000 words, and the name of the first boss only appears at the end of the first volume. I chose the somewhat niche theme of gaming; it seems that historical themes are more popular on SF. And it looks like loli protagonists are more popular on SF, but there’s not much I can do about that. Just imagine, the whole server trying to conquer a little loli, that would be too creepy.

Moreover, the plot of this book isn’t particularly game-like. I’ve read traditional online game literature (though it has declined a lot), but this book hardly touches on data and even cancels out professions. I could write a long essay on the book’s shortcomings.

Having said that, I really want to thank the readers who have supported this book until now.

I’ve been lucky to complete the first volume without encountering any trolls.

Alright, let’s get to the main point—the setting for the protagonist, Anastasia.

Anastasia (correctly written as Anasutashia in transliteration). I personally wanted a shorter name, so I changed it to Anastasia. Some readers complained it reminded them of the princess in FGO, but that’s just a coincidence. Anastasia comes from the Greek word Anastasis (ἀνάστασις), meaning “resurrection.”

Recently, I’ve been frequently asked about Anastasia’s sexual orientation. To cut the long story short, I think it’s necessary to clarify things in a chapter.

I’m prepared for a drop in readership (bracing myself).

The truth I’m about to reveal—don’t be afraid.

Actually, in the initial setting, Anna had hardly any romantic lines (covers head).

Yes… Even though the title has the word “conquer,” Anna’s romantic lines are really not well-defined. The book is essentially a comedy, and I never expected it to achieve its current success. The tags for the book are Western Fantasy, Otherworld, Adventure, and Transformation; initially, related settings were indeed lacking.

Having finished the first volume, I realized that it may not be too late to address this issue… maybe? I think I owe you all an explanation.

As for Anna’s character setting, she has never been in a relationship before crossing over. She’s straightforward when it comes to emotions and can be considered a staunch BG (boy-girl relationship) warrior. She has never dabbled in yuri or BL. From Anna’s first-person perspective throughout the first volume, she hasn’t had romantic thoughts about any explicitly introduced characters, male or female.

So, the current situation is as follows:

Marrying a man—Anna’s mindset is male, she doesn’t think it’s appropriate.

Yuri—Anna’s body is female, she still doesn’t think it’s appropriate.

Another issue is that Anna hasn’t considered romance at all. She’s focused on finding a master, making her genuinely hard to conquer.

If I had to give a definition, I would say it’s light yuri, since most of Anna’s teammates are indeed beautiful girls.

But there are still quite a few problems here.

What kind of yuri do you all want to see? To make Anna accept yuri, she has to accept the concept of yuri first. So, are you all willing to accept a protagonist who transitions from male to female and then gets “bent” into yuri (what am I even saying)? Because of Anna’s personality, is it okay that she has decent male friends (Anna’s fan club) too (not all male characters are antagonists)?

In summary, the book is of a light yuri nature, and once decided, it won’t be changed. I still have that much integrity.

To the readers who are preparing to leave, I sincerely apologize for taking so long to clarify the issue.

To the readers willing to continue following the story, let’s meet again in the second volume.
