Mike’s Top Picks from ILLUMINATION Publications — #5

Chapter 1: Introduction to ILLUMINATION
Greetings to all readers and writers! As I mentioned previously, I’ve made a conscious choice to focus more on reading and curating content rather than producing extensive writings. This approach aims to enhance my productivity and satisfaction with what I share on this platform.
I’ve compiled five collections thus far, which serve as a handy guide to discover intriguing narratives. For those interested, links to earlier collections can be found at the end of this post.
The abundance of talent associated with ILLUMINATION is truly remarkable! If reading were an Olympic event, I would need a lifetime of training just to keep pace with the rapid influx of stories.
In this edition, I’ve selected a range of inspiring, informative, and memorable stories from ILLUMINATION publications. Many of these gems are often overlooked, and I hope to bring them into the spotlight through my efforts. I trust you will find them as enjoyable as I did.
If any of these stories resonate with you, please consider engaging with them by leaving encouraging comments, highlighting parts that stood out, and giving a few claps to recognize the hard work of these talented writers. Your participation is invaluable.
Additionally, if you're on the lookout for more stories, I encourage you to check out the latest collection curated by the ILLUMINATION-Curators and organized by Aiden (Illumination Gaming), which has been shared by the ILLUMINATION editors.
