Accepting feedback like a newbie who continues to learn to improve narratives... and write narratives as well as possible like an experienced author who uses all their narrative skill to narrate fiction that is worth reading.

There are two types of fiction: (1) fiction that tells what happens to the characters and (2) fiction that makes the reader feel with the characters.
The first type of fiction simply asks what happens next? (linear storytelling).
The second type of fiction asks how does the scene captivate the reader? (immersive storytelling)
Someone adopt in a cat that was accustomed to eating leftover fish. She cared for the cat well and gave it new nutrition, "cat snacks".
For a whole week, the cat ate the cat snacks.
One day, the snacks ran out, she was forced to give the cat the fish. The cat sniffed the fish for a moment, then...
My fiction was entering the trending niche fiction (not a general trend). Finally...
Save the cat, please...
Paradoxical Creatures
By Eldoria
It's a paradox...
To ask for empathy,
But refuse to listen.
It's a paradox...
To ask for criticism,
But angry at correction.
It's a paradox...
To correct a misunderstanding,
But instead be accused of blaming.
Humans are truly...
Paradoxical creatures.
When the author (narrator) disappears from the narrative... leaving only the breathing text, there is no longer any barrier between the reader and the character. So, you can feel the character' breath in your mind.
Just so you know, I wasn't calling you out on humblebragging; that other fella who we responded to had that vibe.
Oops... SH database error again. I need to back up my fictions.
One voluntary review or feedback from someone who truly cares about your fiction is a true trophy. Why?
Because someone sees your work and acknowledges it honestly and sincerely. You are seen as a wordsmith who impresses the reader.
And that's worth more than 1,000 empty compliments or 100 cosmetic reviews.
After eating, I'm sleepy...
After taking a shower, I'm sleepy...
Maybe I should— 
eldoria? Rec me a chapter in blood princess where its the violent chapter, that you;re happy with how it came out. I'm interested in how you juxtapose the sweet mommy against what she's like wreaking wrath.
Wow... I just realized that reactions are interchangeable. If you run out of reactions, you can undo (or borrow) a reaction from a previous answer or comment and then react to another answer or comment.
Does this mean that reactions have a central bank as a custodian of value to prevent inflation? Perhaps reactions are the currency of the SHF.
Show it, don't tell it is a simple writing principle, but it's complicated in practice.
If the narrative is too showy, the pacing may slow. If the narrative is too telling, the reader's emotions can become cold or even numb.
Did you just get your daily reacts quota back? So it resets at 06.00 GMT+8.
I just realized... reactions can run out.
To anyone who has replied to my message and I haven't had a chance to respond, I'm sorry. I'm out of reactions.
I want an AIldoria assistant app~.
What if one day your childhood friend suddenly appears and 'wants to save you' from your current self (who is cold after being hit by the harshness of life) by demanding that you return to being the person who used to know as a kind, gentle and friendly person. How would you feel and respond?
I want to write again but the cold makes me to become a sleeping beauty....?
It's easier to complain and vent your frustrations on others than to address the root of the problem.
If you hate AI art, then sue giant companies like Grok for freely providing AI art... instead of blaming niche authors who write for fun and don't make a dime from their writing. -
