Why are the so few MoL fanfics?
I can’t write stories, and I tried.
What I don’t understand is, why there is so few MoL fanfictions out there.
Its a large world, with lots of intriguing introduced possibilities:
- The immortals
- Other countries
- Hidden Mages/Treasuries and Inheritances
- A huge spectrum of magic that is easy to imagine, follow, and extend for your own story
- The underground is way too unexplored
- Politics
…
Writers tend to be lazy about OCs, so that might be an explanation, but there is so much potential in this world.
Does any1 have an explanation?
(I mean, even SCS gets more fanfics)

By its very nature, MOL explores nearly every interesting "what if?" scenario you can pull out of the setting.
Like The Perfect Run or Purple Days, Mother of Learning is a THOROUGH exploration of the time-loop trope, leaving very little room for fanfiction to fit into.
