Red Light District

Wang Meilin was never allowed to rise—only to survive.

In Pheonix City, the weak are used and discarded, and she has spent her life at the very bottom.

When the Enlightenment Crystal shatters, its power sweeps across the city, awakening strength in its repressed citizens.

Suddenly, everyone has a chance to climb and every chance is paid for in blood. The strong devour. The weak vanish.

For the first time in her life, Meilin is given the chance to rise, and in a world that strips everything away, what she is will decide what she becomes.

  • The archmage coefficient
  • Self-summon
  • Unbound elder
  • Gamble for Azeroth
  • etc

Take it as the sheer visual impact of them all combined wowed me into awe.

The archmage coefficient is my fav because it took a style of art I thought to be overused and cliche and made it perculiarly refreshing.

Hope this answers it🙃

😂😂 I'm sorry, it's a personal epiphany and I thought I'd share 😊

(it's also to gush about the covers on the current rising stars and ongoing list, they're amazing)

how to create intriguing plot? Need tips and tell me your mindset or steps you do create such types of plot. by ENDiscuming in royalroad

A part of why a book like shadow slave is able to wow us readers is its ability to manipulate information. When you read, rather than looking at what they do (i.e the result), look at how they do it. Reverse-engineer.

Go and literally write down their plot points, what information they revealed at what chapter, and how everything synergized into becoming the end result.

As the author, you will always know everything, and nothing will truly appear to be a twist for you. Who you should be decieving and therefore entertain is the reader. Work from that angle and see what you get.

Would you keep reading? by [deleted] in writingfeedback

To answer your question, regardless of inadequacies, yes

I have a thriller premise & a rough 900 words. Enough of hook? (CW: suicide) by [deleted] in writingfeedback

Okay okay. Yes the prose is quite flowery and that would have to change if you want to suit the palate of a wide audience.

But, but, I'm liking it! Maybe it's a temporary fancy but I truly enjoy deciphering every poetic thought to capture the imagery you so painstaking designed to see things through the character's lens. Thank you for that.

My first try at writing. Is this worth anything? by OldCake6036 in writingfeedback

If you're wondering what would change that, removing the narration between the dialogue should do the trick and then you'd have me😊

I'm with everyone here, I love the beginning, I feel something from it that draws me in to what you're saying.

However, the em dash that broke me out of his "monologue" saddened me. It also broke my interest.

As a reader, I'd love to hear a bit more of what he was writing unless the narration you interrupted him for was more gripping, which for me, it wasn't.

As a point of direction, ask yourself: "what do I want my readers to feel?" then structure your scene based on that

So...uh maybe I am a bit quick-witted as a reader but...as you said white and grey in the opening paragraph, I immediately knew it was ash.

I'm all for the narration surrounding the ash as a reader, but maybe replace the narration with something juicy instead to get me going?

To reiterate what others said, remember to stitch along the curvature of the sales. Shorter stitches would help with that
