I have a complete outline of a story based on Indian mythology in modern setting. As a reader Or an author, would you like to read such a story?

Go for it!

(As long as it's not written...)

I don't see Indian mythology often, so its already got potential. Have fun with it.

Shiiii.... Welll.... You see.. To be honest, I use AI to suggest better words and check places to improve. English is the fourth language I speak so I'm bad in it.

In my experince,

Use grammarly for grammar and use AI only for like word choices.

First write the chapter by hand and then use grammarly to correct grammer and spelling mistakes, then use AI and ask it to do line edit. Prompt like "Analyze line by line acting as my line editor"

Then It'll give it's comments line by line

So It'd be easy for you to find out mistakes

DON'T FOLLOW EVERY INSTRUCTION THAT AI GIVES YOU
DON'T ASK IT TO GENERATE EVEN A SCENE

Just get it's comments and suggessions


Then don't forget to READ THROUGH your chapter and one more grammarly pass


English is my 3rd language , So I'm in the same boat as you

Meanwhile check my too, I use AI like this,

I refuse to level up! (Don’t ask about my sister’s opinion on this)

What would any normal person do after they isekai'ed to another world? Well that shouldn't even be a question. Grind up levels, become strong and conquer the world with overpowered cheat abilities. But Ren isn't that kind of 'Normal' What if he conquers the world without levelling up? without...

Well, even AI assisted is dubious. It's just that without very specific prompts it turns your work into a completely different thing by rephrasing and using em dashes the way it does. Don't take my word as gospel or anything, but keep in mind it might corrupt your vision for the story, is all. Just don't use it as a crutch or you'll never learn.

Good job on 4 languages though, sick.

Nothing wrong with it but you could mix all mythologies instead to make it appealing to a wider audience

 

[FRWriter]

I've got a strong feeling that this will be an absolute loser (speaking only in terms of gaining readers).

If your goal is to write whatever you feel like, go for it.

If you want to have a lot of readers, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop.

Also, why do you write a story in your fourth language that you claim you haven't really mastered to such a degree that you could write a good story?

Do you have financial interests? If yes, then indeed the English audience is the way to go... but with heavy AI assistance, you probably won't like the results.

 

[LiteraryWho]

Why not write the story in your native language? Assuming it's hindi, they'll probably appreciate it way more than a bunch of English speakers.

Could be cool

I know little about Indian mythology and in all honesty, while I like the idea as a concept, I would be unlikely to base whether I would or would not want to read it based on that alone. I can think of many clever and intriguing ways to use mythology -any mythology- in a modern setting, and many more ways that are... somewhat more dubious. All of the clever ways require a sound and significant understanding of the system itself (though this should be taken as a given).

I'm going to put myself down as neutral, bending further informaiton.

Would you care to reveal a bit more about your story's premise and plot?

Indian as in "Native American" or Indian as in "Based on stuff like the Bhagavad Gita, etc."?

There was a two-chapter short story up here based on Hindu mythology that was pretty good, and another that only got to about six chapters based on Tibetan myths that had the potential to be great but never went anywhere. I haven't seen anything done with the Native American stuff.
Would be interested but not sure if I'd have time to read any of those.
