It feels weird almost every time I drink coffee...:coffee: instead of being awake, I feel sleepy. :sleep:

Well, enough. I understand your limitations. Almost everyone ever makes mistakes and learns to improve, which is proof of being human. I don't want this answer to get any more rambling and off topics. I'd like to return this thread to the owner who asked for honest feedback.

Well, at least it hasn't reached 4 digit chapters yet, right?! We might be a little luckier than the others out there. Lol

It's right. But I agree with his statement: As a author... I've also faced this dilemma. I even had to rewrite over 50 early chapters because I only recently realized my narrative writing mistakes. If I'd caught my mistakes earlier, I wouldn't have had to rewrite 50 chapters over months...

Honestly, this is helpful. But as an author... we might be forgetting a important thing: "cognitive bias." Authors often struggle to view their work objectively, even after reading a dozen creative writing books. Feedback offers something authors can't do as individuals: have their work seen...

I'd rather do what he asked to do to sharpen a knife than stand aside and comment on other people's work.

Well, reading my chapter is an option, not a requirement. It's easier to demonstrate a concrete example than to theorize abstractly. In research, it's a case study.

Dude, I might disappoint you. I couldn't even read 3 chapters (or 4?) - I only managed to read 2 chapters before I ran out of breath. Why? What I feel is that your narrator is too talkative. You try to explain everything in the narrative through the first POV even for things that are irrelevant...

Character Introduction Given two character introduction scenes with the same biodata and different narrative delivery below: Scene 1: Scene 2: The question is, as a reader, which character introduction scene is more impressive (the character is easy to imagine and remember)? Why? Edit...

You're absolutely AMAZING, if you can truly accurately distinguish between AI-generated narratives and human-made ones. Even AI text detectors don't dare claim to be accurate... their developers openly warn that AI text detectors are highly biased and should not be used as decision-making...

10,000 what? Readers?! Views?! In the history of SH, only less than 10 authors have reached 5-digit readership. 10k views?! That's easy if your fiction has a marketable package and consistent chapter releases. Visitors will just come and go... and your views will increase organically. But...

Well, calling it good or bad is oversimplifying the issue. I'd rather point out what the narrative needs to improve than justify whether this chapter is good or bad. A story with a simple plot, if narrated properly, can be a memorable one. Conversely, a story with a complex plot, grandiose...

Well, you could instruct the AI not to use punctuation marks like "-" or similar, generate text, and it would become a chapter. Conversely, a writer might have a habit of using "-" marks, write a narrative, and it would become a chapter. So, can you distinguish AI-generated or not simply...

I prefer opening chapter, "Lance", because it creates a subtle tension as soon as the door opens that makes the reader feel like 'something bad' might happen.

I've read two chapters in one sitting... my impression is that your chapters are dense (character-wise) which makes it difficult for readers to identify who these characters are. And your chapters tend to be "heavy-telling" (remember the principle of show it, don't tell it?) and too rushed in...

Exactly. In the literary world... this technique is called Deep POV (usually used in first or limited third POV) to immerse the reader in the character. You can Google it and learn more about it.

Well, if you ask me if this fight scene is clear, yes it is. But if you ask me if this fight scene impressed me? My short answer is NO. This fight scene is more like a karate tutorial I saw on YouTube than a tense and suspenseful karate movie. Why? Because your fight scene focuses more on the...
