As a new Author I struggle a lot with balancing these 2, I have written a novel in SH https://www.scribblehub.com/series/...up-dont-ask-about-my-sisters-opinion-on-this/

But I got 2-3 feedbacks saying too little detail and hard to follow. And my writing style tend to deviate into those japanese LN style, if unintended.

I rarely tend to include long paragraphs, even when using them I use them only to immerse the reader at the beginning and not anywhere else.


“What happened?”

World came into my visual field. First thing I noticed is the damaged Caravan. I pinched myself to see whether it was a dream, Apparently it was not. My hands and legs were smaller that it used to be

Wait…

Then bodies—Dead bodies, lying around the caravan. Servants and maids

Gasp!

The imagery forced a step back

“What the hell?”

I looked around,

Trees! Trees! TREES!

I’m in the middle of nowhere
Like this one, a quotation from my novel ch03

Is this kind of prose viable?

Can you give my novel a shot and highlight whether this type of writing OK, because some liked it and some absolutely despised it :s_frown:

Since I have no proper experience or much skill, I struggle in these kind of conflicting feedback

Also can anyone please tell me whether I messed up opening 2 chapters (your opinion)
And compare it into ch 03, 04, 05

The novel until now is around 4,000 words :s_smile:

And also highlight any other prose related issues (there are few problems in ch01 and 02 some lack fullstops, because when copying from my draft I copied it section by section, so my cursor had missed them in some places, I couldn't find the way to edit published chapters and the error is fixed in ch03 onwards)


Thank you in advance

Sorry for any inconvenience caused, just started writing 1-2 yrs ago and this is the first thing I published
