I had been dealing with Maladaptive Daydreaming since I was thirteen years old. I'm eighteen now.

Sometimes it get better, sometimes it get worst, but the search for a better reality inside my own mind never stopped.

In the last few months, however, I've been noticing that I'm not the only one in this situation. There's thousands, tens of thousands—or even more—around there in the same boat as I. Because of that, I have decided to write this web novel.

The Escapade is a story about someone who's trying to find its place in the world. Of course, LitRPG elements are present: statuses, classes, armours and weapons, all the visual effects that one might expect from the genre. Naturally, it also is about progression, but not just the from-level-1-to-op-mc type, it is also about the progression and changes of one's beliefs.

"Have you ever felt as if you were trapped in an endless daydream, living out fictional realities inside your own mind while your real life slips past before your eyes?

Then you may have more in common with this story’s protagonist than you might think."

That's what is written in my first book synopsis. I wanted to make a story about escapism, about my own experiences spending—or rather, wasting years of my life daydreaming, fantasizing about events that, as a result of my own lack of initiative, would never happen.

So coming back to the title, how could I deal with my frustrations besides drowning myself in my mind even more, isolating myself from others e dissociating with my own being, with who I really am?

That's the question that I'm trying to answer in this book. If you're interested in it, consider giving a look. It has 3 chapters, so you may have sufficient material to decide if it is worth your time or not. If yes, then please feel free, because it is free, to read it as you like. If not, then feel just as free to share your opinion, advise me and guide me to a better storytelling.

The journey has just begun, the book is still in its diapers. Maybe you and I can find the answer to my doubt together.
