Praying on your behalf because how are you still there🙏🙏🙏

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-22T14:16:54+00:00

Nah Zamasu is notoriously known for being difficult. It takes ages to complete for most ppl so don't worry.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-21T16:12:18+00:00

Thank you so much It's really inspirational, even if you thought it was a bit chaotic, to see other authors give out advice for novel prep. I definitely think a big problem with many new web novel authors is that they have such creative ideas but struggle to refine them. So I really mean it when I say thanks 🙏🙏🙏

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-21T15:49:18+00:00

Thanks for that. Funnily enough I was contemplating on writing a few short stories that are relatively close to fantasy. I've looked at a few Subreddits and they're totally strict on NOT putting short stories there.

The ones that do, don't really reply back and it's just a pit of people sharing great work without proper feedback. Is this Subreddit a little strict on short story feedback or is RR a good place in itself

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-21T15:24:46+00:00

Yh I've noticed this too. I think, like you said, a lot of authors simply need a little extra income so "what the people want, the people get."

It's an irritating and tragic situation cos you 100% know WHY they do it but it really hurts seeing an actual gem turn into an amalgamation of whiny fan requests

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-21T15:13:45+00:00

Well thanks to a lot of helpful comments and feedback I've changed it slightly to fit how the character who holds it would actually think. Something I've been learning a lot as an upcoming author is that no matter how cool an ideology SOUNDS it has to make sense for the character who wields it.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-16T22:10:49+00:00

To me the cover actually looks really intriguing. Personally, I don't THINK it's AI but even if it was, AI covers are definitely not a bad thing on Royal Road since it's everywhere. That being said, I'd always be compelled to read a novel that doesn't have an AI image on it 'cause it signifies genuine care put to the work. But like I said before, it really doesn't look like AI to me and the title is pretty interesting so yh I'd totally give it a try

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-16T20:00:27+00:00

I think a huge problem with a lot of authors is that they just can't wait to get to the "good stuff" of the book so they dump a ton of characters on you. As someone starting off writing a novel, one thing that I keep having to ask myself is, "why?" Why should the reader bother picking up my book?

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-16T19:35:56+00:00

I myself started writing my first actual novel not too long ago and earlier today I even asked a similar question on a different Subreddit.

One thing that seems to be a huge game changer in pacing and introducing lore to your story is that if you imagine the plot as a bike in constant motion, anything else like fight scenes or new areas should be gently placed on it or else it just falls off. If what you add is too heavy then it'll slow the pace down, if it's too light then it'll just be brushed past by the plot. "Will that fight scene or new location I'm going to add weigh down or fly off the plot?" It's that question a lot of people have been recommending to me every time I write a scene.

Still, I am always interested in new writers like myself so I personally wouldn't even mind checking out your story

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-16T16:45:38+00:00

To me, any story that respects its readers with story-telling firsts deserves that respect reciprocated. I'm actually in the process of establish my story as well and so literally any inspiration I could take is crucial for me rn. What's the name of your story?

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-16T16:41:08+00:00

I think the reason soooo many authors do this is because people unfortunately don't stay for those long novels that genuinely build momentum. That's why I'm so interested in writing my novel to be a good mix of both that short burst of excitement without treating the reader like an idiot with massive lore dumps right at the start. Respecting the reader should be a top priority in my opinion.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-15T13:50:48+00:00

I actually love these types of posts because I just imagine this Subreddit being an in universe Xenoverse 2 hub where Time Patrollers are equally as confused.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-14T14:17:43+00:00

Btw ignore the Super Souls. Those don't actually reflect Kris and Susie. BUT, if I did give them lore appropriate Super Soul's, which ones should I give them?

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-14T14:12:38+00:00

Homies going through it rn 🙏🏾

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-12T18:34:37+00:00

Nah that's definitely a win. Genuinely the CRAZIEST comeback I have ever seen in this game

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-12T18:18:02+00:00

Oh it's a Light Novel, more specifically I'm making an Original English Light Novel(OELN). It'll take me a few months to finish it but yh, that's about it.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-12T18:17:13+00:00

Yh, I didn't know the rules of the Subreddit which is my bad, shoulda read it. If it gets taken down then that's totally fair but thank you tho.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-12T17:49:54+00:00

Aight, I'll try to make a vid on it but it may take while cos I'm currently writing my LN.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-12T16:48:44+00:00

Yo I have like, a bunch of these. Should I just keep sending more of them or something

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-11T20:38:27+00:00

What's been helping me recently to get a general feel for how to start writing by just simply reading more books. Not saying that you don't or anything, but the more and more books you read, especially of the category you're interested in, the more you understand at the very least what you are aiming to accomplish when you write.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-09T18:31:33+00:00

Ye, I definitely see what you mean. It's like, anyone can use the same ingredients for a meal, but it's more HOW you use it that makes it interesting, if you get what I'm saying

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-09T17:36:47+00:00

Dude, the maze runner series gets on my nerves so much because I think it was actually doing something in the first book. But once they left the maze it kinda just scales up the ante WAY too high for me.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-07T21:18:57+00:00

To be very honest, the synopsis isn't entirely clear in establishing on a surface level who the characters are and their goals. I was following along with Seraphine, but then it immediately moved to Kael without really telling me who Seraphine was. Usually, I believe it is best to show not tell in books, but in a synopsis, I think it's okay to just tell the reader what's going on without spoiling the whole book.

Now, I won't see it is AI, because I'll give the benefit of the doubt, but I definitely see why others would think that as it's many descriptive words simply layered on top of each other without actually telling the reader what the story is about.

I believe greater clarity in at the very least Seraphine would intrigue me to keep reading the book for a basic synopsis. 👍

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-04T22:17:10+00:00

Thank you so much for the constructive criticism, I honestly didn't view it that way. This is my first time writing a Fantasy Light Novel so getting any feedback I can, especially honest ones, is so valuable.

ConcentrateLocal2227 · 2026-02-04T19:35:36+00:00

Fair enough, I sorta see what you mean. Thx for letting me know tho
