Luca is neither. Luca is weak AF and... an idiot. ** Luca will also die. A lot. It's a timeloop story. But with enough game resets (ahem, deaths), Luca will learn and grow, so there's hope for him yet. ** This is a slowburning and characterdriven novel. It's also going to be long. _____________________________________ I post 1x a week on Saturdays at 12PM PST / 3PM EST / 9PM CET If you want to support me (or read an extra 5 chapters ahead), you can find them posted on my Patreon. \(• ◡ •)/
