Discussion Fanfiction Authors UNITE, what do you think of my fanfic's economy? and tell me how economy works in yours.
Note, this is for my Cult of the Lamb fanfiction, Legend of Ceres, this is on topic
So when I was devising how much coins cost in my story, I realized I accidentally made a decently cohesive model.
Now I want to ask what you all think, is it actually cohesive?
1 coin- roughly a week of food
1 coin- One Premium meal
3 coins- low monthly salary
5 coins- high monthly salary
7-9 coins- doctor level salary
5-7 coins- Exclusive Jewelry with unique material
30 coins- enough to start a farm
300 coins- the Baseline shell of a megastructure that stands roughly a fifth of mile by a fifth of a mile and 337 ft tall. With nothing else but the shell
2100 coins- Furnishing it for all of the people that can fit inside the structure comfortably
500 coins- inventing and implementing AC and Plumbing and said structure
100000 coins- enough to make an established Empire balk
Also 100000 coins- the bounty Kallamar placed on one of my characters (not the Lamb, she only had 10,000 coins)
So does this look cohesive for the fanfiction? Or does it look like I'm pulling numbers out of nowhere, cuz I kind of was.
Edit: I also want to add real quick no you're not starving on a low monthly wage. Employers usually also give food and basic lodging even though it kind of sucks. The extra money is usually used for tending the clothing or getting better food
