One of the artistic strengths of a work of fiction is its ability to simulate the lives of characters in a (fictional) world in the reader's perception, not just in the author's memory. You can feel the characters' breath without having to be them.

When a reader reads a story, there are three times running simultaneously:
- Real time, the time that takes place in the real world.
- Narrative time, the time the reader perceives while reading the narrative.
- Fictional time, the time that takes place in the story world.
Don't treat your world as a static object that's observed. Make it alive, like an organism, interacting with your characters.
Let the air breathe, a cold gust making the skin creep. Let the door rattle, the wood creak making the ears ring. Let the lamp greet, the light glow making the pupils smaller.
This way, your world will feel alive (in your reader's perception), not just a backdrop.
You seem really nice, too. You also do a good job around here, so you can also have one lick.
Does Meowldora have a feedback thread?
Please don't send feedback requests if the author isn't prepared to accept criticism.
If the author wants to improve the narrative, they should be prepared to accept flaws.
Reading, analyzing, writing a feeback and being honest while appreciating the work is exhausting, voluntary work. Please be more reasonable!
A glass of warm milk in cold weather feels incredibly delicious.
Well, sometimes readers need to play dumb when reading fiction. We can't enjoy a story if we're constantly critical, saying:
"Wait, the pacing slows down in the fourth paragraph because of the over-description..." Lol
Sorry for hijacking your profile post. ?
A common misconception about "show it, don't tell it" is that provides super-detailed chapter that ruins the pacing.
Writing details isn't the same as showing; telling can be super-detailed.
Showing is about leaving interpretation to the reader by providing narrative clues or necessary information.
Ah, you beat me to that feedback thread.
Writing complex fiction teaches us how to complete a work as an author. Narrating fiction that resonates with readers teaches us a lifelong lesson as a storyteller.
It is a bot. One with the same name is stalking scribble for a while now.
I reread my old fiction collection and discovered... I couldn't enjoy it anymore. It wasn't because the content was bad, but because the narrative was flat, breaking my immersion. This is the curse of knowledge.
As your tastes become better, you can no longer enjoy the dishes you once enjoyed, just as a cat won't look at raw fish after tasting cat snack.
People will organically appreciate what we stand for instead of being busy showing off who we are.
Give honest feedback to anyone who needs it... instead of showing your professional title for 1 page.
I opened the insight and found a sudden surge in views from Japan, even displacing the US. Are Japanese readers starting to flood SH?
I love you, Mommy.
If you want your work to become popular quickly, follow current trends.
If you want your work to be well known, build a brand with a unique characteristic.
Tolkien needed almost two decades to be well known after the release of the first work... and it took almost a century to dominate the fantasy world.
A good narrative is not a narrative that makes the reader remember all the characters in one reading, but rather makes the reader understand who the MC is, who the antagonist is, who the supporting characters are, what they are doing because of the related conflicts in their world.
Okay, I'll write tomorrow. I'm going to bed now.
No, I'm not in the mood... maybe I'll write tomorrow.
Not this time, I'm going on vacation.

Let's see how far my narrative, "The..."
