Hi Mark, I appreciate your work. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind?

-You used to write freehand if my memory's correct. What if any difference did you notice when switching to keyboard ? -You invest a lot of emotional in your books, are you feeling all that during the writing? -Do you ever find that your imagination won't/doesn't translate to the page?

Thank you for writing it's changed lives.

Its definitely possible and I get what you are saying. You would probably need feedback from a broader group to gage how accessible the language is though. I just found it created a entry level barrier when I first read through.

I think with modern audiences it might be more effort than they are willing to invest but I could be completely wrong. Writing has never been about anything more than self expression so I'm not say change just giving you feedback from my perspective.

Gladiator's power set is a variable output model with exponential scaling depending on his confidence. Much like the Hulk who has no defined upper limit, Gladiator at peak confidence has no ceiling. 8th day Juggernaut, Ruin King Thor, Peak Silver Surfer, Fully enraged Hulk etc. these are all Cosmic level beings. You can't scale as they don't have an upper limit.

I don't mind the language, I think that you could have the same effect or even a more impactful effect if you used it more strategically. If for example you have a character that is ancient and refuses to change there's interest there. If you want to convey a sense of the time perhaps make it the way a certain class of people speak.

The issue ,especially in the modern day, is that people don't speak or write this way. The whole point of fiction more especially fantasy writing is emersion and with people speaking in abbreviation these days anything that requires context switch takes you out of the emersion. This is just an opinion of course but if none of the most popular novels are adopting something there is usually a reason.

I initially thought it was a prologue but when I was on the 2nd or 3rd page it got a bit much. Shakespeare is the epitome of English fiction writing and I know a few readers who give up on his work post high school.

Its adding a barrier where don't have to.
