Making the first chapter and made bullet points to start from there, and lead into the full text want to get opinions on how it looks so far.

Introduction

He starts in a dream climbing a hill to see.. something he is chasing someone who calls his name and tries to encourage him, he is exhausted, panting from out of breath and when he finally gets to the top he is told to wake up he cant stay there anymore

Him waking up annoyed by the alarm blaring

Getting ready for the day showing what he looks like

Good face

Decent body

Considers himself a good person

He is bored of the droning work day after day at school

Makes some food and heads out the door

On the way to work says hi to multiple neighbors

Helps take out an old lady trash bag

And gets a call from a friend (name)

Asking where he is at so he can meet up so they can walk to school

Says he is just about to get to the front entrance of the lobby

They meet up and introduce his friend’s appearance

Their school and grade

As he is walking up

Start talking about the game they played last night

Complains about the lack of sleep

Friend talks about a new game that’s getting really popular and others are playing it



Urban Valor



Wants to get into it and tells about the crazy feature that’s getting everyone hyped

Asks him to join

Says how much is it?

Says $$$

Don’t have that much so wont be able to join

No worries ill get for you

That’s too much money you don’t need to get it for me Im serious

Explains his friend is rich mentally

Nahhh you don’t ask me for anything and besides we could both be heros or villains

We could be a duo me the mastermind and you the great sidekick!

Well bash those villains till they the turn black and blue!

It’s the final day before summer break

Gets to school

First period starts

End of school day everyone celebrates

Everyone starts heading home

Friend ask if he is going to join him?

Let me think about it

Arrives home and

Says ma im home!

He goes and looks around the apartment but doesn’t find her.

“looks like she is getting home late today, guess I can surprise her with food tonight” he sighs and enters the kitchen to start preparing food

He starts by washing and preparing some potatoes from the pantry and cutting them into quarter slices and puts them aside in a bowl and seasons them. putting a pot on the stove filled with water and setting it to boil. After some time passes and prepares to pour the potatoes in.

*vrmmm* *vrmmm*

His phone starts vibrating, pulling it out of his pocket, looking at the number he sees its an unknown caller.

“hello? Who is this?”

“Am I speaking to ****** son?”

“yes, is everything okay? Did something happen?”

“I’m sorry to say this but your mother has been hit in an accident, she is currently in the hospital” the caller said.



Nothing is set in stone yet, and I am open to constructive criticism.

Well, in light of your unique style here, I too, will give my opinion in bullet points;

- It is easy to physically read

- It bounces all over the place, talking about his day and a bunch of other things with nearly zero details on how he got to this point

- Makes me think I am reading a Korean novel that has been translated

I am not saying this is all bad, just unique.

lol it can certainly be read that way right now, I was thinking about adding his school day but since this is the intro I wasn’t sure about it. I absolutely need to flesh it out but I’m brainstorming it right now
You should put this thread in the feedback session.
Okay thank you I wasn’t sure where to put it! I appreciate the help!
