I'm new here. If I like a story, I'll give the author my feedback. Not that it will mean much, but it may encourage the guy to see he's creating something relatable or entertaining. I hope the ones who manage to like what I will post here do the same. But even if all remain silent, remember...

You have to be one hell of a great writer to make a 300 chapter story worth reading. Unless, of course, the chapters are short. I prefer fewer chapters and more depth in each chapter. Also, even a genius like Tolkien knew how to create stories which were superbly written, but concise.

It can have 5, 10, 20, 35 or 200 chapters. The real important thing is that by each chapter's ending you be like "What's next??" and not "When will this shit end?"

Not for me then. Unless you're such a great writer that even the "dilly dallying" is worth it.

Thanks for the feedback, here's the foreword I wrote to the story, explaining my intent: Ever since I first read Thomas More's "Utopia" and watched Fritz Lang's wonderful "Metropolis," I've been thinking about creating my own futuristic story with dystopian touches. The problem, of course...

This is a rather poetic way of putting it.

I certainly could write something better than Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey with both eyes closed. Seriously, look up to the masters. If you want to write horror, have Poe, Lovecraft and King as your models. If you want to create fantasy, Tolkien is the biggest reference. For romance you have...

AI was not involved in any of this, so, no. I've already admitted summary would be a better term. Thanks for your encouragement. ? I like to dive into the mind of the character. Understand how he would see that world, how he would react to his particular circumstances. Most important is to...

I've updated the synopsis in the story's page, splitting the text into smaller paragraphs, easier to understand. Also, in the main text I will try to use smaller paragraphs instead of long ones (except for the digressions explaining how that world came into being, that's inevitable). What do...

Yes, start with the cheap insults. Let's see where this will lead us, smart guy.

Maybe summary would be a better word for this, you're right, a synopsis is generally short and straight to the point. Either way, I'm asking people if they find the theme of the story engaging enough to be worth reading. If I see that no one is interested here, I'll keep on writing it, but...

Thanks for the input, but popularity is the least of my concerns. I am willing to write things worth reading. If I have to add one more vampire or zombie novel to the world, I prefer to remain silent.

It's from my novel Terra Una, which I intend to post here in the next months. Humankind is finally united in a single country, a single nation called Terra Una. All people belong to the same race and speak the same language, Lingua Nova. This language represents a revival of the long dead...

Ok, I'm bowing out here.

Lol, I was asking a mod (?) if he could tell whether the text was written by AI or not. He said that his eyes can tell it from a distance. How is this nitpicking? Aren't we here to talk about this kind of thing??

16 chapters for the first murder, 160 for the last?? ?

I have noticed AI writing is 100% politically correct. That's a sure way to detect it.

Never even read anything by Zamyatin before, but ok. How am I nitpicking?

Was this written by AI? "Another word T.X.U.-6689 remembered learning from a very early age was ultimus. What was an ultimus? The exact opposite of Unus. Ultimus was any being that had descended, for whatever reason, to the ultimate level a creature could reach. While Unus knew and saw...

Is there some software that detects whether AI was used 100% or only partially?
