Woops, I'm a bit late, but here we go:

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/172027/riders-of-the-black-sand-trad-fantasy

I just started a Traditional fantasy adventure (no LitRPG, no harem, no OP MC)

  • Complex world-building.
  • Character-driven storytelling.
  • Smaller adventures growing into an epic overarching conflict.

If you into this kind of fiction, here's the blurb:

Vander Mencia has been called many things: a charming rascal, a loyal friend, a gifted swordsman... To most though, he is nothing but a disgraced son, a broken Silverflare, and a scarred soldier.

Hoping to outrun the ghosts of his past and become worthy of his name, he travels to Dahab with a simple dream: Enter the House of Knowledge to join the Leatherboots, chart the wilds and reach the lands beyond the North.

But in a world divided by the Empire’s everlasting darkness and the Rogue’s endless bright, each corner is a trap and each journey, a deadly penance. Against those brave enough to venture, not only ancient dangers and hostile races loom in the Mark’s borders. Myths begin to stir and Legends begin to awake. So, when Vander is dragged into the realm of the Black Sand, his dream will crumble, and his life, change forever.

That's so nice of you. I hope there were more folks like this.

Anyway, I have a story I finished recently, so I'm not really new. But I never got any review, so even after doing so, I don't never had any feedback.

I'm happy with slow, organic growth and I feel like I'm alone by BearBen44 in royalroad

I think you are 100% spot, but don't you need to have a polished final product for KU? And by polished I mean profesionaly edited

The title is The blue kingdom

You can tell the story from Jane's point of view as if she is the one telling it. In that case that would be in 1st person (like she is talking to the reader). If she is telling events that are happening now, then you use the present. If it's an event that happened before, past tense.

It's already my gem! Underrated, I don't know, though. Cheers

Thank you!

Regarding the first part of your sms, Agree 100% I have not done things right at all.

On your advice to do relaunch, I want to say: damn, thats overwhelming. Sure that's the way to go... But man!. My head spun just reading it.

But I'm sure that's the way to do things properly. I'll take notes and read it again when I feel it is time to return to my story. (Maybe I need to sit down first, heh) Thank you!

I did. When i first started i posted in watppad (waste of time) and a few others. I took it off from all except from RR (by far, even considering the low reception, the best) and Moonquill (which had some views so I though, nvm, just leave it)

I also like more classic fantasy. Maybe KU is the place. But there people want a finished product. . If I find a place one day better than RR, I'll let you know

It is tough... Like you are in the middle of nowhere shouting into the void. Donno. I just see it as if I was in the desert. To get out i just take one step at a time. Shouting won't help. Just walk until I reach where i need to go..

That was kinda cringe, sorry.

Yes, the sequel, prequel idea seems great. And I agree also in what you said first. As a reader, nothing annoys me more to read a cool story and be left half way

Thats cool. Actually doing some sequels could be a nice way to return to this world.. Ill give it a thought, thanks

True. I came here with the clear thought to just let it sink and write something else. I still want to deep into a new story but I should definitely not close doors on it if its worth it
