So, I finished it. I think that it's got a good plot, and you're good at conveying people's emotions through your writing. I left a few comments with questions for you to answer.

Favorite genre to read: I read a lot, and across genres. I'll just say the "fantasy spectrum", which is broad but nonspecific.
Least favorite genre to read: It's more fair to ask my least favorite, in which case the answer is "mundane earth". I want to read interesting worlds that are new to me- and while earth can be that, it rarely is. Romance is generally not my preference- I can enjoy it, but I will never get as excited over a ship as an interesting world... Excluding when the ship affects the world. ( Say the dark god of Cruelty and the light god of Mercy are in love? What are the consequences for the religions and their divine powers?)
Favorite genre to write: Non-mundane. Other than that, Magic is always fun and lets me diversify combat more than sci-fi would tend to.
Least favorite genre to write: Mundane. LitRPG always gives me trouble because I don't have enough role models for that.

Books/stories you are working on (you can give links if you want): a setting loosely based on Etrian Odyssey which is nearly finished[1], Trying to plan something LitRPG, whatever one-shots pop into my head.
What genre you most frequently write: Magic, Superheroes, Scifi, in that order currently. With the LitRPG it'll shift superheroes down.
Give us some information on your writing process! So, to start with, I plan. For me, this means worldbuilding and, initially, very little more. Once that's done, I invent the villian. Finally, I invent the heroes. This comes with vague backstory but not personalities, those develop naturally from there.
After that, good day writing is a blur of inspiration. Bad day writing is trying to force something out, knowing full well it'll be edited eventually.
Either way, editing comes last- and as I'm not a professional and in no real hurry to try to become one, I edit after giving the work time to "rest". Finish, wait a month or a project's writing phase, then edit.
I can't speak for the quality of this route.
Any tips for new writers?: Honing your skills might be more important than any specific work, so don't worry about "is it a good idea", worry about "am I doing it well" and "How can I do this better".
Figure out what you want to do better and seek out people who do it well. This doesn't have to be the same medium, but find something with a similar flavor to what you want.

Ah, I have mostly the same routine with the writing process. Although, recently it's all 'bad day writing', and almost all of my inspiration comes at night, when I cannot write ;-;. Your writing sounds lovely, I'm looking forward to reading it!

Give us some information on your writing process: busy at the moment due to school and handling a few tafe courses in relations to law enforcement and criminal justice, but I have started to write more lately.

Any tips for new writers?: Do not ever give up on a book. If you have writers block or have been discouraged, wait for more ideas to come to you. Once you give up once, you are more likely to give up again and again. Stay gritty and resilient and you are highly likely to succeed. Good luck.

Nice club going on here Fen xD

Favorite genre to read: Everything, minus nonfiction
Least favorite genre to read: Nonfiction
Favorite genre to write: Everything (including essays + nonfiction. Ik, I'm weird)
Least favorite genre to write: Nothin' really

Books/stories you are working on (you can give links if you want): We fly on wings of Night and Anamnesis, it would be great if I could get some feedback for the two
What genre you most frequently write: Meh, I'm random.
Give us some information on your writing process! I kinda just write whatever comes to mind, so I don't really do a plot for the entire story. I do plots for specific points in the story, like the ending, but for the spaces in between I just go all out and free write whatever's in my head.
Any tips for new writers?: Yeah! Don't start way too many stories and finish none of them.
