I'm thinking about creating a story where the MC is a mouse. Most, if not every story I've read was about a human (Or a human turned into a monster) gaining power, becoming unstoppable, and overcoming all odds. I was wondering if anyone would read a story about a mouse trying to do the same? This would be my first story by the way, so it probably won't be as good as a lot of the stuff on the site, but I'm just asking to test the waters, so to speak.
Would you read a story if the MC was a mouse?
Sure, I would :)
An0n1m0u5e As long as the mouse if demonic and can transform into a human, or if said mouse have a game system, then yes. If not, then no. Mouse should also focus on energy rather than body, ie magic mouse
@An0n1m0u5e if it has evolve system or something along the line and does things based on instincts and it doesnt know what to do but the system assists the mouse with bait and lure..so the novel wont be just evolving but more of how the system will help the mouse be top in the Evolving world Apocypse world with mythical creature but not heavily focus on humans.make it as there is no humans in this world just creatures and endpart will be how he became one of the mythical creatures named eg (world eater)like phoneix,dragon etcwith and known by all not some cliche being god.
Leylin_Farlier Well, if I do the demonic way, where the mouse is capable of turning human, wouldn't that make it more mainstream? Also, I don't want my mouse to become OP quickly because of the game system, as that might ruin the fun for everyone reading. Plus I'm not sure I could pull either of those off. This is going to be my first story after all. But thank you very much for your input, as this might help me shape my story.
@An0n1m0u5e
if you are afraid he will be op too son ...then do i said make a system with AI which will assist it by lure and bait since mouse doesnt understand what the thing talking in his head is and that the thing in screen suppose to be but with various encounter and fights and mistakes he learns they do and his power will be like (mouse) like plague god of diseas with AOE based dieseas like Shyean from The Ultimate Evolution.
Also, since I am american, it probably won't be chi and dantian related. It probably won't have any Chinese elements, Korean elements, or eastern elements. Though it could change in the future. Depends on the flow of the story, and what my "Readers" wish to see.
An0n1m0u5e good i hate those shits...also too bad u didnt like my idea
i will read a story if the mc was a keyboard
PrehistoricDevil Get out. Just leave. No, ban him. How dare you come to a site based entirely on webnovels and say you hate chi(qi) and anything dantian related.... Or Eastern/Korean/Chinese elements....
I think I understand your username now, you aren't nerd rage, no no, you are courting death by inciting my rage.
Leylin_Farlier For a second I thought you were talking about me, but then I saw the NERDRAGE thing.
An0n1m0u5e Nah you're cool.... But seriously, game systems and even RE stories are awesome. Do consider them. Game systems don't have to be OP, you can make it hard to level up or increase skills.

I'd like it be a cultivating (like a system that upgrades him by doing something I.e. push up or weightlifting) Mouse .
Also no harem (if possible) I want our mc to be faithful, again not telling you to it's just a suggestion, and maybe (s)he could have children?
But overall love this idea of the mc and/or the aquantices being beasts (or normal animals)
Make the mc fat and i will read
An0n1m0u5e Sir you haven't heard of Re:Hamster.... your Idea had been done before and has been huge success too.... (though I need to point out that Re:Hamster is on 18+ side with lots of hardcore snu~snu~ and "Dark spear to the face"(The attack he uses in a fit of anger which results in some gory scenes.)
Sexual Content
Steeve was a weird guy, he hated his world, and proved it by killing hamsters in the funniest way, but bad luck for him he died in an equal stupid way.
And as he did, the hamster God who was bored reincarnated him as a hamster in the world his pantheon govern, the twist? He forgot to turn of the hero system, and so our protagonist is now a super hamster, who decided to follow the path of a demon lord and made a mess of this world in vengeance!
WARNING:
This story is about a EVIL protagonist so there's a lot of EVIL in there!
Also there's a lot of 'mature' scene so be wary of that!
WARNING TAG:
VIOLENCE, EVIL, SWEARING, SEXUAL CONTENT (somehow disturbing), FRENCH!

Leylin_Farlier come at me bro
UnhingedTaboo Hm, seems interesting. But I don't think I'll be getting too into the gore aspect, and I'll probably not touch an the evil part either. I was gonna go with that this mouse was from a family line of mice, but totally unrelated to humans, or reincarnation and the like. That's far too done in my opinion. Though I do still love stories like that myself.
An0n1m0u5e How about Ratatouille-esque(with somewhat intelligent animals) story line and instead of modern age you go back to the primordial one with no human domination(they are still half monkeys at max) and the rat is just a normal rat in long line of rat living his 2years worth of life with his family happily before a meteor struck earth and everything changed(animals and half-monkeys started evolving at a rapid pace)... there will be no qi or external force nor any system endowed to them... just pure evolution through survival of the fittest. It will be chaotic lace.
Or you can go on a different route and take Stuart Little as an example to make a light hearted comedy(no involving of humans.... they live close to a farm) with a cheese obssessed father and a rabid mother that he has to take care of. while finding the love of this life with some cute Snu~Snu~ (cuddle in this case) while perched on a tree while his asshole friends and brothers give him vulgar look from a far and the MC need to not let his squeeze meet or see them.
- Edited
UnhingedTaboo You can name the first idea "Attack of the killer Mice" and the second one "The Squeaky Legacy" (as he will create a huge legacy by the end of your novel... by that I mean kids... lots and lots of kids!!)
PrehistoricDevil Here... I came at you....
