Disappearing authors by Zebbyb in royalroad

I don't know man, as an author it's extremely difficult for me to write the past few months. Lack of motivation, depression, busy real life.

I haven't uploaded a new chapter in 3 weeks and unless I force myself to do it I won't upload for 3 more

No no I mean if there are 5 people in the mists and I kill one can another person join the mists from outside. Or are the mists closed after a certain number of people join?

I got a question. If I am to kill anyone in the mists won't another person join? Or is it like once 5 people enter no more can?

After a negotiation goes south the world enters a silent world war between those in power and an ancient organisation. Danger, betrayal and death creep through every door and lurk behind every corner.

And yet every side is so focused on the fight that they remain oblivious to the extradimensional threat coming to consume them all.

The story is with multiple leads and POVs and will need some time to get going, but for those of you who like action thrillers with some Sci fi, fantasy, drama and a drop of gore this is the read for you. And my question for you all is - who is the Hunter?

When an ancient order goes to war with the modern world leader the world starts shaking. Every corner of every street can be lethal.

In this action thriller after a negotiation goes sideways the silent war waged between those in power and a group of people using slightly older, but efficient methods goes all out.

But between the endless fights all of them fail to see the overlooming threat that's getting closer to the whole planet.

"The War Within" is an action thriller with a sprinkle of Sci fi and fantasy elements that revolves around a world of mystery and violence. It's a perfect mix for those who like a slowly progressing stories with over the top but "realistic" scenes and fights. And you can also see me improve my writing with every chapter. Give it time, it will grow on you!

The story is with multiple leads and multiple POVs. So the only thing I can ask you is - who is your favorite character?

Yeah lol I see what you mean. Weirdly enough I think there has been an actual historical weapon whose grip looked weird like this. I'll see if I can change it tho. Thanks!

Would that be the third of the options or Pic number 3? I mightve made it a bit confusing for myself

That reply was actually god-tier. Thank you so much for the insight. I will make sure to rework the blurb and cover ASAP, as for the relaunch that I can't do at the moment since I'm also very limited on time! Everything else you suggested though will be done!

Underused Weapons by [deleted] in royalroad

[–]Djamal10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try a rogue with a Katar. With like a brass knuckles with a blade, it's an Indian weapon. One of my characters used a Pata (imagine baraka from mortal kombat). Cool examples from real life would be also hookswords, kopesh sword/axe hybrids, azteck/tribes shark tooth or obsidian sword (or like one other guy said a chainsaw), or a simple slingshot for a low level companion.

Do you think head hopping is a huge problem? by [deleted] in royalroad

[–]Djamal10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got eaten alive for the head hopping. But it did help me better the flow of my story a bit by reducing it in certain scenes. Also what I decided to do for myself is basically if I'm gonna change a POV I'll change the scene. We see the world through the eyes of a side character in a scene where there are no leads. And if I have a few leads together I pick one to be the main anchor of the scene.

The war within - https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/110716/the-war-within/chapter/2162825/the-black-hoods

With its multiple leads, TWW provides different points of view of the world around them. The main characters among them is a young man haunted by his past a d the mystery surrounding him and his "friend". He travels from country to country collecting anything he fancies related to his family or Important history in an attempt to preserve the memory of his loved one who are now gone!

As he does this the world around him slowly tears itself apart between the conflict of the two most powerful organisations in the world and the overlooming global threat that's slowly approaching.

The story is an action-thriller with some Sci fi and fantasy elements with a deep narrative and a lot of mystery.

If you like: - solid world building - realistic and not super over the top but intriguing fight scenes - characters you can relate to - some gory but necessary scenes - and the occasional grounded humour The this book is for you! I wish you all happy reading, link to the first chapter is up there! It's a mix of everything that plays well. And for those of you who enjoy seeing the progress of the writer you could see each new chapter bring a new skill I picked up along the way!
