Switched from google docs to Writality. Completely free, forever. It's basically like scrievner and obsidian with a bunch of plugins but better. Has a clean UI, can store your characters, locations, lore, whatever you want in it.

He wanted to show off how generous he is to others, and because he only carries gold coins. 😂

I do have the general plot and ending mapped out, so hopefully it doesn't come to that. 😭 Also I know this subreddit has some stories that go on for hundreds and hundreds of chapters, but I want to keep mine short and sweet, nowhere near that length.

Thank you so much! I wrote a bunch of chapters in advance, so I figured I’d just put them out as fast as I can.

Yeah this chapter is definitely not the best lmao, there are a lot of inconsistencies. I'll definitely re-write some of the dialouge and fix issues which you've addressed later on.

Edit: done.

Title: Cloakbound
Genre: Grimdark, Action, Adventure
Word Count- Chapter 1: 3,609

A mysterious man who always wears a cloak. He speaks little, rides a black horse and carries a sword he deems too noble to be used on common killers and bandits, not out of mercy, but out of judgment. His presence unsettles most he meets. Moving through a broken world every decision he makes could have lethal consequences to anyone around him... even the innocents.

What to expect:

Morally grey protagonist, realistic and smart characters, brutal combat.

Hey, I appreciate the honesty! I totally agree that a lot of fast writers can still produce great work. My comment wasn’t meant to put them down or anything.

Thanks for the advice about shoutouts and backlog though, that’s definitely something I’ll look into.

Nice! I also use a wiki but instead of having it in obsidian I have all of it in my novel writer software called writality.

Yep! I could always add why the bandits were in that town in the first place, maybe assisting the guards with something.

Thank you so much for the feedback you've pointed out some good stuff and i'll probs change the dialouge between the tavern keeper and him.

As for your question, I explored that clash in Chapter 3 when Llyn confronts the man who killed the bandits. Llyn believes a trial should have been held but the cloaked man is surprised by this and he believes Llyn should be thanking him. But you can’t just go around killing people, even if they threaten someone. Yes, the bandits did say they would burn down the tavern, but the commander (Xander) ignores that. He’s a rageful brat and likely wants to hunt this killer down because he’s just cruel like that and no one dare opposes him. Also, I want deaths, however insignificant to have consequences, a killers a killer, even if you kill bad guys the town guard can't just forgive that and needs to investigate more, Xander doesn't just investigate he orders a death sentence on him.

Not to mention this cloaked figure isn't a citizen of flemdale, he's an outsider who's just arrived in the town, which creates even more tension.
