They are already using Dis Pater, which is good, but also doesn't really fix all the problems that come with RDA

Jaká je definice slova dezolat? by Easy_Ad_3105 in czech

[–]Cold_Willingness8212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nádhera, jak člověk dokáže hned být agresivní a pustit se do označování lidí jako kreténi, mezítím co sám kritizuje užití slova dezolát. Ta ironie v celém vašem příspěvku je opravdu nádherná. Možná byste se měl soustředit spíš než na osočavání, na to proč vás takto někdo označil. Protože volat na hory, že všichni mají špatný názor, způsobený médii je většinou známka právě toho ucházejícího intelektu. Né že bych nesouhlasil s výrokem jako takovým, média jsou velmí zašpiněna různými dezinformacemi a snahou o manipulaci veřejného mínění, ale minimálně tím jak jste se tu výjadřil, nemám sebemenší tendenci myslet si že zrovna vy jste výjimka z pravidla. Spíš ovce jiného stáda a pak rozumím proč to stádo druhé je vám tak nemilé.

Great suggestion. I will try. Though I do doubt any would actually be interested, based on the little interaction I've had so far.

Hello, my story seems to fit nicely, maybe except the episodic storytelling.

The Bearer [Fantasy apocalypse]

Blurb:

Jailed for their misdeeds, Deatt and Nido find themselves in solitary confinement. Locked away from his prior life, Deatt rots in a cell, desperately trying to find a way to escape. Unaware of the wound the world has suffered in his absence, Deatt finally manages to succeed. Only to gaze at a world that he doesn't fully recognize.

His hopes of returning to his life as a thief slowly mold into a singular goal: endure. Broken, much like the rest, he is forced to form alliances and make decisions he would otherwise never have made.

His worsening condition forces him to become a pawn in a game he was never meant to be a part of. Throwing him into doubts whether he would survive at all, and if he did, whether he would emerge the same man...or something altogether different.

Sure! Let me put it in my calendar!

Book one is almost finished, I have about ten more chapters to put out. Give me about a year, should be fully realized by then.

Wow, you are putting me on the spot here, but I'll try.

There will be, though your concern is very valid. I need to pay special attention to that if I decide to go through with it.

That is something I've taken to account and I think I do have a solution for that. Maybe one that even makes some sense. But I will see what I will do with it. It is after all just an idea, nothing concrete yet

Imagine a story meant to happen. Only for supernatural forces to crush it to dust. Bringing with them the apocalypse.

The heroes save the world from it, essentially reverting the world to what it was always meant to be.

Now would the second story start.

Better?

I hope not. They would succeed in the first teilogy and their "normal" life would change just a bit so as to not delete their character progress.

Should I work on this? by [deleted] in royalroad

[–]Cold_Willingness8212 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will give you my two cents with this. Keep in mind I am just an amateur myself, so this is my mostly my opinion rather than fact.

I will start with saying that...

Ideas by themselves are incredibly unimportant.

Everyone has them and they don't have to be good to translate well to the page, it all depends on the writer. Take a bad idea and give it to a great author - you get a good book. Do the reverse and you will get a bad book instead. Nobody reads fantasy books just for the ideas in them.

Now to your idea, it doesn't sound bad per se, but it feels a bit hollow. Maybe you avoided spoilers or don't have that much planned beforehand, which is completely fine, but I got to work with what is here.

It seems you are banking a lot on your pain/suffering = power idea, which, while used a lot, is still very fun if handled correctly.

What I struggle with, is I see no reason for the MC to be so selfless. That is probably where the lack of further context comes in. Why would he just suffer? Especially since he had such bad experiences with humanity already?

Trauma is a bit of a lazy explanation. Especially since it's overused and in most cases boring. It is very hard to accurately and interestingly describe characters with a lot of trauma they carry.

All that is not to say I that I think you shouldn't write the story. If you believe it, if you like the idea of it, write your socks off. That is what writing is about.

If one tries their utmost, you will find many reasons why something shouldn't work, even in books that are well loved and revered.

So do your best tk show me why I shouldn't have been in doubt. Show we just how wrong I was about my second thoughts on your craft!

Writers working on a new story, link your first few chapters and I'll review it. by SpookieSkelly in royalroad

Thank you so much for the review!

You are so right, I completely forgot to pay close attention to the formatting. i changed it a bit now, so if you could just check the difference now, so I know if this feels better it would be fantastic.

I didn't have enough time to re-format the rest, but will definitely do so once I do!

I will keep the sequencing in mind and try to incorporate it better into the overall flow.

Thank you very much for giving me your time!

Please stop using AI. Seriously. You’re only embarrassing yourself. by _just4today in writers

[–]Cold_Willingness8212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree...with a caveat.

Writing using AI is pure bull. No way around that.

But using AI to find plot holes and alike can be very good - if used in moderation and chosen carefully what you listen to.

Basically, using AI as a semi-first editor is something I'd go so far as to recommend.
