    I mean, I always see Chinese or Japanese religions/myths portrayed in novels, and I really want to see what people can come up with if we try to do new things. So here’s my rules:

    1) Which religion(s)/myth(s) you would use?

    2) How would you integrate it into the novel?

    3) Please give some details about the cultivation or the magic of this world

    4) How would you make the monsters?

    5) What genre would it be?

    6) What would the name be?

    1- greek or celtic mitology (Polytheism)
    2- if is fantasy then they are god, if is xianxia they are cultivator.
    3- is the fact that there isn't any detail for magic and cultivation
    4- like in an horror movie
    5- trash among trash
    6- mixier

    I will probably mix several kinds and come up with a new thing :hmm:
    2) How would you integrate it into the novel?

    I don't know, depends on the plot, maybe religion won't be the main focus and maybe not :blobunsure:
    3) Please give some details about the cultivation or the magic of this world

    People can assimilate with certain powers in nature or make contracts with some magical creatures to gain power :blobunsure:
    4) How would you make the monsters?
    Hybrids of earth creatures and aliens, they got no minds and can only destroy :hmm:
    5) What genre would it be?

    Action, adventure probably :blobunsure:
    6) What would the name be?
    :hmm:

    I am not a fan of religions, but if I have to...

    1) Which religion(s)/myth(s) you would use?
    Using a real religion is troublesome. I'll invent a new one, based on the classical loli-teenager-onee-san trio. (it's like maiden-mother-crone trio, but 200% more anime)

    2) How would you integrate it into the novel?

    The main character would be a Chosen One of the gods. Maybe even an Ordinary Boy From Our World. The goddesses would be comedic characters with whom MC would be able to discuss his plans, so that he would not be so lonely and full of secrets. They might also be the harem.

    3) Please give some details about the cultivation or the magic of this world
    There are three schools of magic, one for each goddess.
    A scientific school for the loli, based on complex magic circles and calculations. With some brains and learning, it enables you to build a palace and carry it around in a crystal ball.
    A destructive school for the tsundere teenager. Say the magic words, and wield fire, ice or any other destructive element like an extension of your body. You'll need a day of bed rest for every minute of use to recover from the feedback, though.
    A more classic "cleric" school for the onee-san. A good person can call upon onee-san to heal, feed and protect.

    4) How would you make the monsters?
    Monsters are a creation of the tsundere, unleashed on humans for being bad. They naturally follow her wrath and gather to the lands of corrupt nobles, brothels and other things that anger the tsundere.
    Naturally, monsters wield tsundere's magic. They suffer the feedback too, but they do not care for their health, because they are embodiments of immature divine wrath. Adventurers always have to fend them off.
    Onee-san can send monsters too, and that would be end-of-the-world-level threat. To stave this off, the loli summoned the MC.

    5) What genre would it be?
    My favorite genre - progressorship. The MC will punish the bad guys and teach the good guys how to solve their problems with science.

    6) What would the name be?
    "My girlfriend is an isekai goddess".
