In all honesty, I am very pleased with your summary. A bit generic, but it briefly introduces the world, the main characters and the story surrounding them without droning on. You could definitely elaborate a bit more on the plot rather than the setting to make your story stand out to new readers but so far I like what I'm seeing.

A long time ago, a war began to overcome the world. The Gods battled each other till only eighty-eight of them remained. A Goddess named Astra topped among all and ended the war before the world could be a living chaos. She coalesced the eigjty-eight Gods now bearing the name of constellations to form the world of Celestials, a realm bound by stars, magic, elementals, and myths.

She divided the eighty-eight Gods into their respective regions into two empires.

Celestia dawned with the thought of hope or darkness. Will this be a chance to redeem what is gone? Or a massacre of darkness refolding?


This is my new synopsis, is this a bit better?



Im a seperate person ( T∀T)
Astra
Celestials
Goddess
stars, magic, elementals, and myths.

***

Maybe we are the same person.

On a serious note, while the lore is quite interesting, it was a bit of a surprise when Astra, whom you spent three paragraphs describing, dies?

Who is the actual protagonist?

Would it be possible to learn more about them in the synopsis, rather than focusing on the lore/setting?



Ps: typo eigjty-eight

AIGHT I NEED YALL'S PERSPECTIVE ON THIS.

NEW SYNOPSIS!!

The stars are vanishing. The gods are silent. And in the fractured world they’ve left behind, survival has become a prayer few bother to utter.

In the once-prosperous city of Araes, the disappearance of the deity Razla (Ara) has plunged the land into chaos. The people suffer, abandoned by their god, while crime and desperation fester in the streets. Dawn is a skilled reluctant thief but struggles to survive alongside her optimistic older sister, Esther.

Far from Araes, forgotten powers awaken in the ruins of sacred places. A girl with unshakable hope. A man with too much blood on his hands. A wanderer who once spoke with the divine. Their fates are bound to something older than the gods, something that remembers a time before the stars fell.

Ancient powers start to move once more, softly, patiently, and hungryly, as constellations fade and faith becomes fiery. As the empire teeters on the edge of ruin, Dawn must navigate a world where survival demands sacrifice and the past is never far behind.

Hellp me ?
Hmm maybe it's just me, but I feel like you are repeating a lot of stuff in your synopsis that are already pretty obvious at first glance (eg. "once-prosperous" already implies that the land now is in chaos and stuff, so the sentence afterwards feels redundant). Another thing is that "navigate a world where...past is never far behind" is a very vague and cliche sentence that does not tell me what to expect from your story, which I can overlook somewhat but other readers may not like it. Other than that and the typo errors it looks solid :blob_popcorn:

The typo errors are actually a good sign. That usually means the story isn't AI-generated/edited.
Trueeee I would never use AI ? as I've said I'm an amateur in structuring my story for synopsis ✨️

Just try to keep the synopsis short and sweet and use it to make a potential reader curious about the story, rather than actually telling them what the story is,

Thank you so much!! I didnt know that, how do you insert this in link?
You can just paste it and it should automatically embed.

If you do this:
https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1578906/caelestialis/

it will do it for you (it doesn't in this case because I forced the formatting to not change with a bb code) Sorry for the delay, I went to sleep and only thought to answer now.

Here's the link. Many people prefer having it linked over having to look (even if it's in your signature, as they don't show up on mobile)

As for feedback. It's not gay, so a tragedy. I've got way too many other books on the go. In my case only gay stories bypass that queue, so sorry for the lack of feedback.
Your signature is visible on mobile, you just have to turn it to the side ❤️

I know. You can also enable desktop layouts on some browsers. Still, having the novel linked seems to be generally preferred, be it because they're on mobile or otherwise.
