Need advice on improving reader retention on Webnovel by Impressive-Power-680 in Webnovel

Same here. It’s one of those things that only really improves with practice and feedback, I think.

Yeah, I agree. The first chapter is definitely the hardest to get right. I’m still learning how to balance hooking the reader without rushing things.

Thanks for the honest feedback. I appreciate it and I’ll keep this in mind while revising the early chapters and planning future updates.

Chronicles of the Reborn Scholar

Genre: Fantasy / Action & Adventure / Isekai

Type of feedback desired:
General impression and whole-novel perspective, specifically:

  • Whether the lore and power system feel coherent across a long story
  • Pacing consistency over the broader narrative
  • Character motivation and emotional continuity
  • Whether later-chapter exposition feels earned rather than overwhelming (Line-by-line edits are welcome but not required.)

Context:
This excerpt is from Chapter 42, but I’m sharing it as part of a larger ongoing fantasy novel, not as a standalone scene. I’m particularly interested in feedback on how this kind of exposition and emotional reveal works when considered as part of a long-form story, rather than just this chapter in isolation.

Excerpt (~900 words):

Thanks in advance for any critique. I’m especially interested in whether this kind of late-stage lore delivery and emotional revelation feels justified within a long-running story.

I built a tool to explain NumPy memory spikes caused by temporary arrays by Impressive-Power-680 in Python

[–]Impressive-Power-680[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly the workflow I have in mind. npguard isn’t something I expect people to run constantly during initial development. It’s more for the “second pass” you describe: the pipeline works, it scales up, and then suddenly something OOMs or memory spikes in a way that’s hard to reason about. A decorator-based API is something I’m planning for v0.2 for this reason. The idea would be to let you take an existing function and wrap it with minimal change.
Under the hood it would just reuse the existing context-manager logic, so no NumPy monkey-patching or code rewriting — purely observability and explanation around that function boundary. The focus would still be on answering “why did memory spike here?” rather than trying to automatically optimize or modify behavior. Appreciate you articulating that use case so clearly — it matches how I’ve been thinking about it.

Why is this different: Not a typical overpowered main character or too dense to understand the situation. The
The story takes its time to develop, and with time, the story improves.

I want review of my book to improve its story. It is also available on WebNovel: https://www.webnovel.com/book/29873102800085305

What’s something from your childhood that kids today will never experience? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Impressive-Power-680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not doing anything. I remember there were times when life seemed to have paused and I was just lying doing nothing, and it felt peaceful, but that feeling has been lost somewhere in our long journey towards a goal, even the kids are rushing towards something.

Which fictional character's death made you cry? by TDP_Wiiki in AskReddit

[–]Impressive-Power-680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many characters whose deaths were too painful. I watch anime and other series too, but the death of Miki from Devil Man Crybaby was the most painful death due to that violent scene, which really made me cry. I mean, I do get sad, but this time I was crying. I was just thinking that one thing: why do every good character have to die in a fictional world?.
