My Life in the Sea – A character-driven Christian fantasy series (What do you think?)

Hey everyone! I'm working on a project that's been close to my heart since I started developing it back in 2021, and I'd love to share the vision with you all.

It’s called My Life in the Sea (currently hosted on Wattpad under the same title). The ultimate dream for this project is to publish it as a full book series and eventually, one day, hopefully, adapt it into a 2D animated series.

What is the story about?

It’s set in a vibrant fantasy world populated by anthropomorphic creatures. On the surface, it’s about a group of friends navigating life, leaning on each other, and growing together. Beneath the surface, it’s a character-driven journey about personal faith, identity, and raw human experience.

Tone & Target Audience

If you like the structural balancing act of shows like The Amazing Digital Circus, that’s very much the target demographic and tone here (think PG-13 / 12+ range). It isn't a lighthearted, fluffy story—it directly tackles sensitive, real-world topics. Above all, I want the series to feel genuine, deeply emotional, and grounded in real, human feelings that readers can actually relate to and see themselves in.

The Core Vision

The goal is to create a story with Christianity carved deeply into its DNA without feeling preachy or artificial. Instead of presenting easy answers, the narrative focuses on what it actually feels like for flawed characters to experience real heartbreaks, build and test their personal faith, and stand side-by-side through life's heaviest moments.

I’m currently building out the lore, polishing the narrative arcs, and expanding the world.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

What are some elements you feel are missing in current Christian fiction?

How do you prefer to see deeper faith and raw emotional themes handled in fantasy settings?

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any feedback or encouragement as I work on bringing this world to life!
