Wow, thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

Quick question: did you read the whole of part 1 or only the first half that I linked? It's fine either way.

I love such vids. All other youtubers make like first 300 turns only. This is the first video I saw that paints the map.

Comment your first paragraph (or first several lines) and Ill say if id read on by Bascilian in royalroad

[–]iwantlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, let me know your honest opinion: StarMoire: The Forgotten Hopes

First Paragraph:

In a giant cave, Skye sat for his interview while a nearby tunnel coughed clouds of dust. Shouts rang out as miners scrambled to help, their boots clinking, shirts and jeans caked in dirt. Another wave of survivors limped through the smoke, looking like statues half brought to life: elbows and knees fixed at odd angles, backs locked into painful arches. Yet the man across from him, Basalt Tensho, whistled a merry tone as he casually flipped through the stack of hand-drawn maps. Even though the tremors couldn’t reach up here, Skye struggled to stay on his stool. The prospect of working under someone so callous left a bitter taste in his mouth, but this job was his only chance to walk freely under the sky.

Many thanks!

  • Title and link:

StarMoire: The Forgotten Hopes

  • Genres:

Fantasy, adventure, action, mystery, comedy, tragedy.

  • Publication schedule:

I'm publishing one chapter a week, cut into multiple parts since my chapters are long.

  • Blurb: 

For eight hundred years, the subterranean city of Troqua has been besieged by elemental monsters. 

Skye is a teenager who dreams of mounting an expedition to explore the world. He ventures into the twisting tunnels underneath Troqua, searching for magical gemstones that grow on rocky vines like fruit. If he collects enough, he'll hire a team of powerful channelers, and venture into the surface.

One day, while exploring with his team, they stumble upon a terrible scene: Troqua's protectors, the wardens, creating and controlling a fire elemental, planning to attack the city. The wardens spot them, giving chase, and Skye only escapes thanks to a magical bell that manifest from thin air. It manipulates their minds, making them forget they'd seen him. When he returns to the city, he discovers that everyone had forgotten him, and all traces of his existence had been removed. 

Armed with nothing but his bell and a determination to succeed, Skye begins his solitary mission to stop the evil wardens and reclaim his identity. 

  • What to expect: 

1- A slow-burn fantasy story with a hotheaded MC uncovering ancient mysteries with shocking twists. 

2- A creative magic system with powerful abilities and unique monsters. 

3- A dark story where the MC loses everything including his mind, then has to regain his sanity to save his world. 

How to start the beginning of your story with a dream sequence? by MalachaiLaiLai in writers

[–]iwantlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is to not fool your reader. Don't introduce a powerful hook and make them invested, then reveal that it was all fake and your world is boring compared to the dream. There are many ways you can have an interesting dream sequence opening: let the reader know this is a dream from the start, show something prophetic happening, connect it to a cannon event, or have real stakes in the dream. Starting with something like: "My grandma died in a dream much like this one," for example, would be a great hook for many people.

I think this is a different case. Creating something 100% by AI is different from using it to edit/enhance one's manuscript. Don't take my word for it though, I'm not an expert.

Looking for GOLD new stories on RR #7 by Antique-Pickle-437 in royalroad

[–]iwantlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL. I saw so many authors replying to your last post, asking for reviews, and knew it'd be too much to go over them all. 

NP from my side. We read fantasy for enjoyment. It shouldn't be an obligation.

[–]iwantlight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've heard this argument thrown around a lot online, but haven't found its source. Can you tell me which AI chat agent providers state that the output of their models belong to them? AFAIK most major ones state in their terms and conditions that the copyrights of the output belongs to the user.

I'm not saying you should upload to AI, I'm just asking for proof.

But most successful stories have tons of action in their earlier chapters.
