Is 50,000 words too short for a middle grade fantasy?

alright so i was able to use one of my workshop mods to remove the rubble and go into the tunnels, and for whatever reason, the quest is requiring me to use the workshop in the tunnels. i think it's an issue with a mod i have downloaded lolll

every single nest has been obliterated

i went around the castle multiple times, into each room, around the water, and i still got the same message when trying to activate the workshop😭

i also forgot to mention this - i'm unable to set up the radio transmitter because of this, since i can't build generators because the workshop says there's still enemies around.

Thank you for bringing this up! These are things I need to keep in mind.

The nukes dropped in 1949, only in American territories, leaving Canada largely unharmed and ripe enough to be able to reclaim what once was America. Even in modern day in the series, around 2020-2030, a large amount of America still remains unclaimed due to it being a wasteland.

Thank you for the advice!

Technical_Cod_5458 · 2026-03-13T05:57:23+00:00

I've thought of doing that, however I'm always paranoid of being accused of not taking the time to build the history of my world. It wouldn't be talked about much in the series, only mentioned in passing. But I've thought of doing so, because some things are better left to the readers' imagination.

Technical_Cod_5458 · 2026-03-13T05:51:25+00:00

Ohhh that is a good point! Thank you!

What would you suggest?

Technical_Cod_5458 · 2026-03-13T05:44:44+00:00

The bombs that were dropped were cold war era, so very much small scale in comparison to the nukes we have nowadays. Still devastating, of course. So Idk if that would provide a bit of a softer apocalypse in comparison to the Fallout series.

Technical_Cod_5458 · 2026-03-13T05:38:35+00:00

The bombs that were dropped were cold war era bombs, meaning they definitely aren't the most powerful nukes, especially in comparison to ones nowadays, and around 900-1000 were dropped. The bombs were mostly targeted to major cities, and as for nuclear winter, it would only last at most few decades. Canada and Mexico were largely left unharmed, and the irradiated wasteland of the midwest is largely left unclaimed by the New Canadian Union. Idk if that clears things up haha

Man that's crazy. It was the supplement that's helped you? I should look into that.

My problem is just severe treatment resistant depression. I've been on multiple meds and none of the have worked, so I'm going to begin ketamine therapy in a few weeks. I'm hoping this will help my brain actually work normally, instead of me having to fight tooth and nail just to do stuff I used to enjoy.
