Hello, I am Ennolf.
I am a fan of reading novels but I thought I would give writing a try. I was directed here from the novel updates forums with some help and tried posting my prologue and 2 chapters for now on scribblehub. It took a while to make them a while back but I'm indecisive on whether or not I should hop Point of Views or stick to the protagonist. My writings are posted below:
Feedback would be appreciated, I think I need some stimulation to somehow continue writing.

The thing is, make sure you tell your readers you want feedback. After all, they may just keep reading, or people who just are really pissed at your writing may start commenting.

Would I have to say that in the story? I suppose I need to put in some author notes from now on possibly. I literally just copy pasted for now because they've somewhat been collecting dust as I've stumbled upon a block for now.

Or you could say it in the description?

Anyway, I've read the first chap and I want to say that it is interesting. However, maybe stope repeating "he" for the fox demon? Maybe just say "The fox demon did... blah blah blah..." instead of always saying "he did... blah blah blah...."?

I have added an author's note to the description, thank you. I hope I will get some stimulation to continue my writing. I need more drive but I'm uncertain being indecisive on my next chapter for now.

Has it already gotten repetitive that way? The prologue is in narrative but I swapped over to first person immediately and stayed that for the first and second chapters. It is possible I can redo the whole prologue if it really is bad enough to warrant it.

Try to do cliffhangers. They will do the trick. Makes you wanna write more to solve the mystery of the next chapter, and the readers will wanna know what's going to happen.

More cliffhangers... I will work on that, I currently go with the flow when I write so when a scenes ends in my mind, it somewhat coincidentally is at the end of a chapter when I finish. I shall get more adjusted as I keep writing hopefully, and I then will be able to make better cliff hangers as I improve.

Oh... I think I remember seeing you on NUF!

As for your story, your sentence structure and word choice is kind of weird and doesn’t flow perfectly, but I think the concept is interesting.
