Is that a no...?

Hang on. So supernatural beings and superhuman are out. But if there was a regular dinosaur or animal that could use a sword, does that count? (I don't know any, just figured I'd ask so others could use that if it does) And without supernatural abilities, I'd still say one of the contenders...

First person is usually hard for me to get into, I don't mind it if it's well written, but too many times it starts to feel like a self insert, or the protagonist just doesn't develop a strong personality and feels more like a window to watch the world than an actual character. Though every now...

I just realized I may seem like a hypocrite to have not included my own story in this after being the one who started it, so... Eidolon Codex All I ask is that you not judge too harshly, I haven’t even written a real paragraph in years, let alone something like this. And of course, if their...

First of all, I recommend including a link when you ask for a review, but I got you. Death God: The Trials Of The Living Second, I read your Prologue and the first three chapters after, and I think your premise seems really promising, but you definitely could use a little work on grammar and...

I'm pretty new to writing, and I wanted to make a thread for new authors to come and share their work with other new authors so we can all try to improve and help each other gain more popularity! If you have a story and want some feedback, just post it on here, and (assuming this thread gains...

Morbid humor? Myself. If I'm going out, might as well do it on my terms. Seriously? Steak, sushi, fancy deserts, all the stuff that us common folk can't afford.

Yeah, I also use ChatGPT, so I understand that. Though I just use it for spell checks and because I suck at writing separate paragraphs, and usually just end up writing each chapter as a solid block, and have it seperate it without altering anything, so you won't get any judgement from me in...

I think you have a unique concept, but the story delivery, like Vermillion said, was a bit stiff. but I don't necessarily agree with everything that was said. The introduction of most characters fell a bit flat, common issue among beginner writers is to let the ideas and lore develop in their...

I want to feel sorry for you, Otter, but you brought this on yourself by being competent and offering to review stories, so... since everyone else is spamming, might as well throw my hat in the ring. ? Eidolon Codex

For me what helps is listening to music that has the general tempo I'm going for while writing, use breaks in the song to add dialog and tension points, then go through after and just clean up language and imagery a little bit. That's just me though, everyone has their own style of writing, not...

You may be right, honestly. I do plan to do at least one more small arc, but if I can't find the inspiration to carry it past that, it may just end after that. I'm starting to get back into it, though, writing more chapters again, but I do appreciate the insight.

That's fair, I guess. In that case, I'd say that the strongest fictional swordsman in my opinion that doesn't rely on any sort of super natural power, or even if they do and are just the strongest even without it, would be someone like Seiya Ryuuguin, though he is from a series where characters...

I've seen a good number of OP swordsman, and I'd say that Zoro is a bit overrated. Skill? He's probably way up there. In terms of just sheer power though? I'd say Kenpachi Zaraki is probably physically one of the strongest swordsman you'll ever find. Another one is Shulk, though I don't think he...

Oddly specific, may I ask why? I might be willing to write it if it doesn't exist already and you have a good concept, though I'm still an amateur, so it wouldn't be amazing.

I think the conversation went a bit off topic and a lot of people started going into what soul damage is rather than stories that have it. I did see a few people give real recommendations, but let's stay on task. Now, if you're looking for stuff on the site, then I can't really give you any good...

I think what impresses me most isn't the number of words, but the fact that you haven't burnt out yet writing that many words. My story (mostly backlogged for some final edits before uploading) only has about 55K words total so far, and I already burned out just writing all that over the last...

I mean, it's about as good as mine, lol. But in all seriousness, I think mentioning a little of his backstory and ambitions would make it a bit more interesting, and choosing a few more articulate words would add some flare and attract more readers. Sometimes though, simple is better. What you...

That is pretty long. That's a lot to digest, but I also didn't read your story, I'm just going off of what you put here. You did a good job with it though. There isn't really a ton you can change without completely rewriting all that, and in a story like this, getting an early lore drop is...

I found your story, and I'll acknowledge that English isn't your first language, and I won't judge your grammar or spelling, but I do think it would help if you had someone else to help you write a bit more clearly, as there were several parts I found hard to read. Your premise isn't all that...
