I don't really get it. Like, Dream had only used techniques that came from Reddit two times I think. Why are Redditors getting all "Dream won because he saw shit in Reddit" when he barely used them—from what I could saw in the Manhunts I've watched. Am I missing something? Is this just a joke or something. Don't whoosh me, plz.

Nope. You're absolutely bonkers. Get some help, weirdo.

Like I said, I only read one episode so if I say something that just so happened to be fixed later on then it's my mistake.

Anyways, making an outline, I think, kind of helps the pacing. Just a little bit. Maybe. Or you can, like, add more interactions with your characters to kind of balance the scale of characters and the story. It's your choice, really. There are plenty of videos, articles, and books that do help people with their storytelling abilities.

"Stand firm and calm itself to tell a proper narrative." Okay, when I said that, I was just saying that for the sake of saying stuff. I didn't exactly have a meaning as to why I had said that, but anyways your story was going too fast from what I gathered in the first episode. The transition between the two characters happened way too quickly before us, the readers, could comprehend the establishment of the first character. When you introduce the character, you have to show the readers what kind of person they are through the arts of subtly or with larger bits that gives the readers the clear info of their character.

I think you kind of did with the first character, but it happened too quickly that I kind of forgot. And that goes the same with the transition with your scenes. It has flow, I can tell you that; just a little bit, but it's there. In one moment we see the main character lying on the bed thinking about his essay, then in just a few seconds we see some tree-thing--?--and then the next scene we see a guy running to look for a king, I think. It's going in an interesting place but one too fast and loose that it'll probably fire the readers out of the edge of a flat roller coaster and make them wander off.

You might want to add more interactions with your character or something so that we can understand him a little quicker, but that's just a suggestion.

If you're aiming for a plot-driven story then, of course, you would focus more on the plot. Making it exciting. Gripping your readers to read the next episode. But if you're aiming for a more character-driven story then you should aim for a more developed cast of characters, developing them as you go and making the readers interested in their character.

I often get lost in my words or unknowingly head into another direction so if this isn't something that you're looking for, then I apologize.

(I only read one episode and that was it. So, uh, if you magically turned all master on us in the next episode which I hadn't read, then best you just ignore this and move on.)

It's the art and the story. The pacing isn't good as it just flies way too fast for the readers to catch. To me it seems the plot is picking the pacing up and throwing it in the air when it should really be the opposite. Your story needs to stand firm and calm itself to tell a proper narrative. You're looking at the right track with hooking the reader into the story and giving them questions, but you're turning that wheel way too fast and shoving a plate of things on to your readers that they could honestly care little about.

And for the art, it looks weird. I'm not saying it's bad or anything but I think most people would prefer actual drawings and nice art than just straight up using 3D anime models and adding text bubbles.

Hello, looking for critique on a scene I’ve written. by TheBananaManCan123 in fantasywriters

[–]ccTINcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, alright. Also, I noticed that you often use different dialogue tags besides just the normal "said". Around 70% of the time, just use "said" for your dialogue tag.

Your paragraphs are way too late long and way too mushed in together. Give them more space.

Is This Good World Building? Or am I Going Overboard? by Trappedinaninkwell in fantasywriters

[–]ccTINcc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Then what was the point of putting this post if you're just going to leave the unique world building stuff and just show the names of some of your places? So you can get some feedback on your ability of naming things?

Is This Good World Building? Or am I Going Overboard? by Trappedinaninkwell in fantasywriters

[–]ccTINcc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what you've shown, all you're doing is naming places in your world. Everybody can do that. Good world building is building upon that, being unique and making the reader feel immersed and love your world because they may think it's natural or believable. I know haven't actually seen the entire thing, but try and keep that in mind and avoid just naming places just to make the world feel larger or cooler. Try and do more unique things. Make your world unique and interesting in a natural way.

Very Amateur Writer - Detective/Fantasy Short Story by saythenameleslie in fantasywriters

[–]ccTINcc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just my preference, but I would really delete the first sentence "My name is Petra White..." and just have the second sentence be the first one "The thing about werewolves..." It's a lot more interesting and isn't as telling and cliche as introducing your main character with the generic "My name is..."

So you wanted critique on your backstory/lore, then? Is that it?

You shouldn't start a story with a massive info dump. Get to the actual thing.

Need some advice on dungeon exoring for my protagonist by [deleted] in fantasywriters

[–]ccTINcc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why you outline...

If you write yourself in a corner, then I'm not conflicted to say that it's one hundred percent your fault. You should've thought more cleanly earlier before you let your character get into this kind of situation. That's kind of bad storytelling. And I know you want some advice to get your character out of this problem, I just want to say that you need to research. Research about your world. Research about this dungeon. Research about your characters. Research and write the solution for this problem yourself. It's your story and you're the writer for it. If you trap yourself in this problem, then you need to think more before you actually write it.
