    Let's chat about "Dual Souls of Dream Land Online"

    If you live in my country, somewhere around 150 USD can afford you a way better cover than your current one. Don't rush it if you don't have the money yet.

    Discrepancy in your writing tastes and your reading tastes?

    I can handwave most bullcrap I write in fantasy genre as "it's magic." SciFi requires me to think everything thoroughly and make most magical things explainable. I don't have that much energy and scientific knowledge to craft such mechanics. But I love those details as a reader.

    Discrepancy in your writing tastes and your reading tastes?

    I love reading Sci Fi, but I will not write one, not even on gunpoint. I simply can't.

    Recommendations Stories where most of the casts matter

    I wanted to like it, but unfortunately I can't. It's not the mc himself, it's more of me already being too old when it came out, and I find it hard to relate to the kids. In assclass, I anchored myself to the teacher or other adults there. It was essentially a "how teachers should treat their...

    Writing What's your verdict on adding illustrations in chapters?

    I don't mind that. I have at least one per arc.

    Why are my views still so terrible?

    It needs editing. Particularly the first chapter. Your paragraphs appeared 15+ lines long when read from a mobile device. How about shrinking and splitting them into smaller ones first?

    How do you rate your own action scenes?

    If it involves punches and kicks, 7-8. If it involves weapons, 6 If it's a non-fighting action scenes (escaping nature's wrath or deadly traps Indiana Jones style, racing, etc), 3-4.

    How is everyone?

    Not too bad. I'm not in my best health while the place where I live is seemingly ready to crumble anytime soon. But I have family, at least.

    Do every race have the same brain?

    Mine (including the humans) are your typical Tolkien inspired races at the surface, but they are basically offshoots of one common ancestor. So their brain and genetics are same and compatible, otherwise, the mixed bloods would be sterile, while they are in fact not. Humans are, well, humans...

    Need Help with advice, anyone?

    That's the tricky part. If you give too much in your first paragraph of your first chapter, you'd fatigue them. If the very first sentence is too long (using parentheses like this or em-dash like you did still count as a part of that sentence), readers will get the impression that the rest of...

    Need Help with advice, anyone?

    To add to CinnaSloth's suggestion above, while you still need to describe the settings, you don't have to describe everything at once. It's kind of like choosing your pokemon: which ones should go for the first paragraph? Which one for the next? Etc. Also, avoid using em-dashes (—) for things...

    Recommendations Stories where most of the casts matter

    I don't know. Do your casts matter? Do most of them get moments to shine? That's what I'm searching in this thread. If you want to self plug, you also have the responsibilities to sell me that first, not just throwing those links ;). You are the author, so you must know.
