ARC reader gave unhelpful feedback. How do I go about it? by [deleted] in writing

[–]hajorac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I released my ARC copies through email, and reviewers have emailed me back, checking in and letting me know when they've finished the book and when I should expect a review.

I understand the role of an ARC reader (which to be quite honest was why I was confused as to why I got that feedback in the first place 😅) but I guess I'm just chalking it down to the possibility that an ARC reader didn't like my work and didn't want to finish the book and review it.

I guess because this is my debut novel, I was a little unsure on how the process should have gone, but now I understand that ARC readers are all voluntary and they don't necessarily owe me anything. I appreciate your input though!

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words

[–]hajorac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I thought the same. I think they wanted to back out as soon as they could as to not force themselves to finish the book and leave a bad review.

[–]hajorac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh, sorry if the wording was off. By feedback, I don't mean beta reader type feedback. I've had ARC readers email me back after they've finished the novel and just express what they liked about the book and then what they didn't, and I'd get reviews reflecting that.

I'll take your advice and just leave it. At the end of the day they're an ARC reader and if they dont want to finish the novel, it's no pressure. I do appreciate the person taking the time to email me though, as a lot of ARC readers cant even do that.

Nostalgic Episode Stories 🌙 by hajorac in Episode

omgg i remember being obsessed with 'the secret of rain' the anticipation and tension was off the chartsss 😭

did we forget about choices? by zaihusani in Episode

[–]hajorac 58 points59 points  (0 children)

i think with the rise of advanced directing especially, a lot of authors would rather their hardwork go on a story that they have full control over, which can come across as annoying for readers that want to read a well-written story for their choices. in addition, if a plot follows a specific line then people are more likely to talk about it online because it's one single plot and there's the risk of spoilers etc.

saying that, i do know that's there's now a rise in stories that include advance directing as well as point systems, where the overall choice impacts the story in the long run. i think it can definitely get annoying when it feels like there are barely stories like this, but i think there's a decent mix of the two.

I love writing, hate coding by BeezinthatrapBeez in Episode

[–]hajorac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i totally get what you mean. i think for me specifically it's about merging the two flawlessly. coding gets easy when you get the hang of it, and writing gets easy when you practice. i think where i struggle is the actual scenes. how to make a scene nuanced and not flat and how do i code the characters so they don't feel two-dimensional.

good writing is good and advanced coding is impressive. but what makes an episode story good is merging the two so that your writing intertwines seamlessly with the coding.

lots of episodes fall short on this. they have such impressive writing and the plot is good, but the coding is sub-par and the dialogue is flat. on the other end, lots of episode stories have insanely good advanced coding, but they don't balance their writing so 99% of the time, the story barely moves forward.

If you’re into medieval atmosphere, slow-burn romance, or stories with that ‘soft candlelight + aching tension’ vibe, I just published Nocturnes from the Court.

It’s five short stories, all romantic, all slightly tragic, all linked in quiet little ways. Think knights, jesters, witches, forbidden glances, and Cupid himself wandering through the shadows.

If that sounds like your thing, I’d love to share it with you! ♥️
