The basic level of reader is the 'listener'. They understand fiction through the explanations of the narrator. For example, children learn stories through bedtime stories.

The advanced level is the 'interpreter'. They actively interpret the narrative, constructing an imaginative world, feeling the characters' emotions, and capturing the hidden messages within a story. They are readers who live within the story.

What remains of a human being who has lost his/her memory, identity, and physical form? Can a person remain himself/herself?

A good story is a story that makes you forget you are reading a story.

I'm going to try adapting some mother's song (from various countries) as lullabies for her child in my chapters. One of them is this one... what do you think?

It needs to evaluate POV based on its characteristics.

In a first POV, information should be framed according to the subjective experience of the "I" character.

In an objective third POV, information should be framed according to the narrative of a cinematic scene.

By understanding the characteristics of the POV, it will be more objective in assessing the quality of the narrative.

I just read a review of Warhammer 40000... the fiction is too dark. Probably a 10/10 level of darkness. It's not just grimdark, it's pure dystopia. There's no hope, no good, just destruction, darkness, and endless war. I don't understand why people like it.

I'm happy to see new members emerging and actively writing threads and providing answers. Also, some legendary members are back active. In comparison, I'm still a teenager in terms of account age on SHF.

One indicator of successful characterization is when readers can recognize who the speaking character is based on their unique voice.

It might seem easy if there are only 1-3 characters. But what if there are 7 characters speaking in a single chapter?

It's very possible for readers to get confused, even with the help of name tags.

The first POV inherently acts as an unreliable narrator. The narrative camera uses the character's perspective directly to perceive their world. You cannot know the emotions and thoughts of other characters. Even if the "I" provides interpretations regarding other characters, that information should be subjective. The exception is if your narrator is a historical narrative.

Seeing the feedback requests on Feedback Section tickled me, and I wanted to leave simple feedback.

But I'm sorry, but I have to hold back. I can't do that right now; I'm focused on my fiction.

Maybe another time. I don't want to touch someone else's kitchen while mine is still burning.
