    The Fat Elf's Review Emporium

    Oh boy, this was a big one. I couldn’t finish it because it’s already 1am and I ran out of time. But the story seems interesting, even if it is not my novel type. Gonna put it on my to-read list. Opening paragraph: The first two sentences were long and complex. I had to “listen” (I use a...

    The Fat Elf's Review Emporium

    This one starts interesting. The imagery is vivid, and the descriptions are excellent. Things I think can be improved: Long sentences: Many sentences in the first chapter are long, too long. He was not properly dressed to brace the dangers of such a storm, for he made do with a shroud of...

    The Fat Elf's Review Emporium

    The style is nice, and the events were interesting. The dialogue felt natural as well. Overall it was interesting to read. The whole intro part could have been done in a convo with Allen. Imagine this, they are walking toward the mixer, and the MC (I don’t know the name yet?) is doing his...

    The Fat Elf's Review Emporium

    First chapter (marked as prologue) Starts uninteresting. The description of a sect in a xianxia story is not captivating enough. Then, it talks about the region and the boy and immediately sends me into a “flashback.” I stopped here and went to chapter two. Flashback is not really a problem...

    Heya buns. The emporium is open (mostly on Fridays)! This is how we do it: Send me a link of your story, I'll read the first chapter (not the prologue). I'll point out things I liked, things I didn't, and what I think can be improved. Cheers.

    How to deal with creative block?

    This is my own way of dealing with block, and might not work for you, but here is what I do: Create a bullet point list with the previous major events. List the next events I want to happen in the story (not the small details, just an overview of things). Based on what happened decided: What...

    Writing smut feels illegal lol

    For me, a good smut is one that isn't cringe to read. There are some nice stories out there with some sexy scenes, but there are others where the smut, the dirty talking and everything else is like bad translated hentai. Good luck with the new writing!

    Writing tip and advice that didn't work.

    Can relate. Planning the smallest details kills all the joy of writing for me. I've taken to have just defined "bigger" plot goals, which I strive to reach at some point. How the characters will get there, if they even will get there, is decided while writing.

    Biggest problem with writing (or starting)

    What? You guys are having problems with writing? What nonsense is this. The empty page in front of me since two days ago is proof that writing is super easy. Just sit down and the words will flow. Still looking at the blank page and not a clue of what to write tho. :(

    You can't escape the coffee. It is futile to try. May the god of words bless your poor soul.

    I have a story I want to write, judge it by title.

    As it says in the can, judge it. The story title is: The Dragon Patriarch’s Compendium of Failed Matchmaking

    Grammarly Premium

    Like some posted, I also would say set formality to Informal, if your novel uses a lot of slangs and terms from fantasy and current novel trends. I've started using it recently and am pretty happy with the results.

    I think I have style now

    Nice. That last one is nice. I like the look of content resignation there. Haha (or at least, that is how I want to see it)

    Novel shout out.

    Don't think so. You can create a fandom for your own original story. It doesn't get that many visibility because ppl usually search by fandom, but you can post anything there, as far as I know.

    Novel shout out.

    Uff, don't even get me started on that. Not sure why ppl get off on .5 rate bombing stories.
