    Any honest feedback on this chapter?

    If anything, at least you've got plenty of readers to give you feedback. Cosmic horror is great, but I'd need to read the previous chapters to understand the story.

    Your story looks like the kind of thing I'm looking for here. The narrative style is my favorite. Are you still writing it?

    I actually edited the OP.

    Reading mode

    I don't know why or how that wasn't clear enough. I know of Wattpad, I'm making a suggestion to make SH more complete, a standalone experience.

    Reading mode

    Precisely. You always end up at the beginning of the chapter over and over again. I was asking if the admin could add a feature typical of reading apps, where no matter how many books you open, it always takes you straight to where you left off.

    What little details irks you when reading?

    Excess of drama. Excess of cussing and vulgarity. Excess of gore. Excess of plot armor. Excess of dilly-dallying. And a lot of other excesses.

    Wanna trade reads & feedback?

    With this AI fixation people have today, can such a trade happen? My impression is that "this is AI" is the official literary insult nowadays. Everything you dislike is AI. Why someone would write a REVIEW (!) with AI is beyond me. Jeez, just say: I don't like your style! and be done with it...

    I would definitely use it because I read ten different things at the same time and I like to read them at my own pace.

    Writing Would it make sense to use the stream-of-consciousness writing technique?

    Very, very few people use it. That's precisely the reason I like it. It gives a different vibe to the story. Is someone narrating the tale of a person they know or is the narrator talking to himself? You choose. But I like first and third person too.

    Reading mode

    A "reading mode" where you can mark where you left off in a chapter. Unless this option already exists and I'm not aware of it. Edit: this refers to the main site, not to the forum, so any mod feel free to move this. Edit 02: So what exactly am I asking? Not the typical "reading mode" of any...

    What about this synopsis?

    I've updated the synopsis for Terra Una: Centuries after the definitive global conflict nearly decimated the planet, humanity is finally one, a single people, a single race, united in a single country called Terra Una. There are no problems of coexistence; everyone cooperates equally for the...

    Should I continue writing?

    Your story is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for here. I'm a natural fish out of water and am not into dragons, vampires and zombies. I'm looking for sci-fi, mysteries, psychological drama, adventure, but never anything too farfetched to be minimally credible. (I dig the hero's journey...

    This is important. A writer must have a style of his own. Whether your style is plot-driven or 100% stream of consciousness, a story consisting of a single, endless paragraph, it's your choice. One person, one day, will find your story and like it. You may not even be alive or into it anymore...

    Your answer is already implicit in your own comment. Too many things for people to pay attention to. They may end up not paying proper attention to anything.

    I never have nor could have any chance to tell Kafka, Tolstoi, Thomas Mann, Poe, Hesse, Yukio Mishima, Alexandre Dumas and many others that I was moved by their works. So, if I have the chance to tell an online amateur writer that their words resonated within me, I'll do that, even if through...
