To anyone who claims to be asking for honest feedback, please be honest with yourself.

Don't say you're asking for feedback if you don't even appreciate the reviewer's time and thought for your work. Reviewers are human beings, too, and ignoring them as if they don't exist will only hurt them.

You know... why the sky rains when a character cries over the loss of a loved one. Or how the wind often ruffles characters' hair when they're indecisive (just look at the Pain vs. Naruto scene about the cycle of hatred). It's a dramatization technique of showing emotion through atmosphere.

Hmm... maybe I'll write an autobiography titled, "Eldoria: Journey of the Immortal Magical Girl".

Is this a coincidence? I read two fictions in the feedback section... and found a weakness in the narrative structure related to characterization.

Some characters were difficult to distinguish without name tags. They lacked identity, personality, and unique voices.

They were more like plot devices than living characters.

Maybe I should make a thread about characterization next time.

Is an author here who has completed a series (prequel), then made a sequel series with the author as a transmigrator (MC) in the prequel series?

In traditional fiction, the narrator plays a dominant role in driving the story, often adopting a fireside storytelling approach where the narrator acts as the storyteller.

Problems arise when this practice is carried over into creative writing, as the reader can't interact directly with the narrator, unlike when their parents told them bedtime stories. It creates a cold narrative distance between reader and story.

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.
