    It's great for reducing tension and giving the reader some breathing room. But don't overdo it; use it as needed to breathe before moving on to the more horrific scenes.

    Is anyone else into literary nonsense?

    I love how the absurd/nonsense is inserted into scenes. For example: How a warrior complains about wanting steak as the apocalypse approaches; how a yandere villainess becomes delusional about something that never happened; how a little girl views her mother as the center of her world without...

    Why A Lot Of Writing Advice Fails Writers

    It's even more heartbreaking when the person offering constructive feedback is attacked back. I don't care whether the OP follows up on the criticism and suggestions, but at least respect other people's opinions. Saying thank you or simply liking is basic online etiquette.

    What About This Prologue?

    This thread should be placed in the feedback section so other respondents can easily find it. What about this prologue? Well, that's a general question. Perhaps you mean, does this prologue hook readers to continue reading it? Well, as a chapter, your narrative does a good job of establishing...

    Okay so the edits turned to be a failure

    Perhaps you shouldn't be so concerned about people who criticize you without a narrative solution. Well, maybe they say "your writing is pretentious" or "your writing is stiff." This kind of criticism without a solution is simply "poison." Even if the writing isn't good, at least you wrote...

    About AI use in edits

    That's why asking for feedback is so important. You can use samples. Use representative chapters and ask your respondents. Feedback is useful for measuring the effectiveness of your narrative. Feedback doesn't always have to be technical; even simple emotional questions like "do you like this...

    About AI use in edits

    Well, as a reader, I don't care if you use AI or not, all I care about is whether your story can provide an emotional experience for me. If you write comedy and your readers laugh, then your fiction is successful in terms of emotional impact. I won't dictate how you write or edit, but I will be...

    Writing What is the apocalypse lore in your fiction?

    Apocalypse Lore in Fiction I just read a review of Warhammer 40K yesterday... and yeah, it's truly dark. The world is truly dystopian in the literal sense. What made me uncomfortable (even just reading its review) was the scale of the apocalypse, the destruction, the darkness, and the despair...

    I just read a review of Warhammer 40000... the fiction is too dark. Probably a 10/10 level of darkness. It's not just grimdark, it's pure dystopia. There's no hope, no good, just destruction, darkness, and endless war. I don't understand why people like it.

    BE NOT AFRAID. I will read your chapters and give hopeless feedback. [Closed but if you send it, I might re-open]

    Thank you for your honest feedback. This chapter is actually a subtle lore about her mother's dark past, but wrapped in a gentle fairy tale to preserve her daughter's innocence. :blob_melt:

    I don't comment on works I haven't even read based solely on synopses and tags. But I once encountered an even more terrifying work:

    The thing about WAR Novel

    I've faced this dilemma. In an epic-scale conflict, you can't give an info dump through an omniscient narrator because the story would be too boring. Ultimately, I decided on adaptive POV, using various historical narratives, character experiences, and bird's-eye views. POV can be very flexible...

    Writing Who is the Narrator in Your Fiction?

    Who is the Narrator in Your Fiction? Narrator is the 'unseen voice' who conveys the story to the reader/viewer through narration. An illustration of the relationship between the reader, narrator and story can be described as follows: In fiction, the narrator's position is usually relative...

    Low attention span reviews and ratings [Open]

    Dude/sis... I'll be honest with you. It's not about taste, it's about how you visualize the scene from the first POV. As a reader, I have a hard time visualizing your scene. It focuses more on the narrator's internal thoughts. As a result, the description of the environment is blurry. I even...
