The Devils In Our Deeds

(Weekly Chapters)An AU of the series Chainsaw Man with the main character Denji replaced by my popular cosmic traveling OC named James Ann Russomanno Da Sicilia. (Link for more info in Prologue) currently posted on Webnovel, Wattpad, and soon to be Royal Road (When my request is accepted:) Always in search of adventure and intriguing opportunities, our seemingly young man finds himself in the world shared by humanity and Devils. After dispatching the Zombie Devil out of a need to defend himself, James meets a mysterious but strangely alluring woman by the name of Makima. A generous offer appealing to his desire of saving others in need is made to defend the public from Devils, to which he is unknowingly sucked into a string of events that will test his resolve, judgement, abilites, and the very fabric of the freedom he stands for. This book was inspired by the thought of how the story of CSM would vary if my OC took the place of Denji. More specifically, how would interactions between characters change when the MC is far more considerate, intelligent, experienced, and overall much more appealing to others than our Denji we still know and love. It is a guarantee that this story will deviate from the original in ways that will leave readers guessing. The chaotic ideas swirling in my mind have inspired me to explore the depths of character connections, particularly branching out from Denji. For instance, Himeno is an intriguing character, yet her departure prevents a deeper bond from forming with Denji. While her tragic end adds weight to the narrative, James, in contrast, thrives on forging connections, and I envision more meaningful conversations between him and her before the end. To counterbalance the despair, he will also experience lighter, more wholesome moments with the vibrant cast—some surprises await! This opens up vast possibilities for the story. Lives that seem lost may be saved, while others that appear secure could be taken away. New scenes could emerge to enrich the lore of The Cosmic Traveler. I eagerly anticipate this journey through action, tragedy, morality, manipulation, betrayal, and the complexities of a world where humanity and Devils inevitably clash around one man with the power to either cultivate peace or unleash controlled chaos.
