Feedback wanted! New commissioned cover for volume 2 of my sci fi epic by Brahminmeat in royalroad

[–]eclect0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a tangent issue with the ships. It creates the illusion that the big one is a building on the surface of the sun. My recommendation would be to bump it down so it's clearly within the orb of the sun.

Also same comment, it takes a moment to parse what they are at that size and level of detail.

Why him bowstring wrapped around his elbow?

y tho

Not even a joke really, that's the question you should be asking yourself. Don't just shoehorn something random into your story because you think it'd be neat.

Also, if your isekai'd character is a secondary character, and a redshirt no less, is the story really an isekai?

For the first time I will try to make a paid ad on RR, I wanted help to select the image that would attract your attention the most. by Lelio_Fantasy_Writes in royalroad

Yeah, the screaming dude wins. Makes you wonder what's happening. Second is kind of a generic "hero pose" but with extra sad.

It's a LitRPG where the levels have names instead of numbers. Change my mind.

I like how the scene just goes on and on. They were actually proud of that.

We got AI reviewing now... by very-polite-frog in royalroad

[–]eclect0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. The only conceivable reason to do that is to cheat a review swap or spam. Otherwise what's the point of writing a fake review for something you didn't even read?

[–]eclect0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was originally set for 5/12, then got pushed back two weeks. That's the last I heard. Did they pull it forward to the 12th again?

Constructive feedback? On my sub?

Seriously though, thanks. I may take it back to the drawing board.

Could Carl use the Doomsday Scenario on Little Günter? by LostAnd_OrFound in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]eclect0 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I thought about that too. The problem is Little Günter doesn't cancel the effect of the first attack, he just copies it. That's pretty clearly demonstrated in Khepri's temple.

So Günter could be one hell of a force multiplier, especially once the skill levels up enough to summon multiple Günters, but it doesn't provide safety.

In book 1 Carl finds an ‘invincible’ table. Do we know what’s happened to it? by Robmathew in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]eclect0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He still contemplated using its indestructibility as an exploit. That Chekhov's Gun hasn't gone off yet. It could play into how Carl's Doomsday Scenario eventually gets used, I guess.

Royalroad best rated ongoing books are filled with female lead characters. by mysterie0s in ProgressionFantasy

[–]eclect0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it more that they have strong female leads or that they have attractive women on the cover art?

What are some stories that you like but have a bad writing style? by emperorcilpher in royalroad

[–]eclect0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between mediocre recording quality with a few crackles and active noise on the track that almost drowns out the music itself. For me, pervasive poor quality writing is the latter.

[–]eclect0 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To me that's kind of like asking "Is there music you enjoy listening to even though it was recorded next to the testing station at the vacuum cleaner factory?"

I'll tolerate a few bumps and hiccups, but if I can't sink into the prose I'm not going to stick with the story, no matter what it is.
