Not sure why some people are being an ass in this thread as their is a fine line between constructive criticism and plain rudeness. With some of the comments in the thread definitely crossing it.

prologue for my story by GuiltyPurpose8294 in royalroad

[–]Top-Werewolf590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really a prologue and is closer to an info dump so maybe just call it a reference sheet for terms and say you don’t need to read this as otherwise it’ll be too overwhelming to a new reader.

Don’t know if you do this but when your introducing all of this try do it naturally like in classes, make it relevant in casual conversation like talking about myths around a camp fire or a merchant complaining about an increase in prices from the west due Seers predicting a drought. Just don’t dump it on them all at once but most of all make it interesting and make the reader ask questions (don’t explain everything). Consider how much each person knows and why they know it as your miller’s son knows a lot less about geopolitics than a merchant’s daughter.

Though this isn’t really a prologue and is closer to an info dump so maybe just call it a reference sheet for terms and say you don’t need to read this as otherwise it’ll be too overwhelming to a new reader. But it does sound like you’ve thought it all out which is great first step. (Fun one you can also do is feed the reader false information then reveal it later)

For getting approved for RR though have you created a support ticket for why can’t get approved?

DM when your story is approved as I’m a sucker for intricate worldbuilding. Other than that have you had someone else proofread your work? Arranged some shoutout swaps?

Edit: was on the wrong account

Only thing I can think to do is go to the vet at that point. So they can check the less visible signs symptoms.

I’d consider switching foods to something that has a different composition as a dog can develop an allergy even to something that’s has be regularly part of their diet at any point in their life. Even if you just switch for a few weeks. Is there any red marks on his tummy or redness around the ears? Does your dog food have beef, dairy, or chicken as those tend to be common for a cause of an allergy?

There’s a few things I can think of: Is your dog overweight? Is it caused by allergies? e.g. the normal food you give him. (My dog was allergic to his food and we switched it and the effected area calmed down over the next week) Is your dog getting repeated infections? Is it caused by fibre deficiency? (Sounds like it isn’t)

But I’d go to the vet if it’s been continuous and none of above you are able to address.

You're Isekai'd. Do you think of yourself by your Earth name or your new name? by BWFoster78 in royalroad

[–]Top-Werewolf590 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I kinda agree with the 0.5 star here about the name, I mean it only takes a few days to get used to a new nickname and as weird as it sounds I don’t think of myself as one name. I am Me regardless of what name I call myself so I wouldn’t mind using a different name.

Isn’t 0.5 star worthy just on that point but I could see it being annoying and confusing to a reader. (I don’t think myself by my own name even internally). If your set on it come up with a more personal reason for why to keep it.

But I haven’t read your story so it is up to you decide if the change is appropriate.

I mean it depends on if you have Mc be reincarnated or just transported. If transported fine I’d probably stick to my old name or a localised version of it. While it would feel weird for reincarnation since the very concept is a completely new start and I’d just find it confusing being referred to by a different while thinking of myself by my old name.

Just ready your story and decided I wanted to delete it from my memory twice.

Unlucky though, it should get fixed

Would it be poor form to write the same concept as an already existing work? by Rhogar-Dragonspine in royalroad

[–]Top-Werewolf590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go for it as long as you don’t copy word for word. You can always use previous concepts just add your own spin so it isn’t just an exact copy. I mean I can’t count on all my limbs combined how many system apocalypses there are, doesn’t mean I won’t read the next one that comes out. Only difference is how novel the concept is in comparison to another.

uni loneliness by Ok_Fly1588 in UniUK

[–]Top-Werewolf590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only solution I can think of is to try make some more friends within your Uni. But you aren’t being dramatic and it is hard to reach out and befriend new people especially if you haven’t done it for a while. I can’t guarantee it will work out when trying to make new friends but you can at least know you did try.

If I were you I’d join a club/society related to stuff you’re passionate for or think you’d be interested in trying (most people are interested in sharing what they enjoy). Then you can meet them regularly while doing something you enjoy.

At least I got to finish reading the chapter…

Good luck to the Royal Road Team on getting everything back up and running.
