Sigh I'm a little tired of writing the same stuff I always do, so let me give you a tip. Check out the other feedback reviews. You have the same issue as most of them. Good luck.

Example: "In the quiet village of Eldergrove, where cobblestone streets wound through misty mornings and ancient oaks whispered secrets to the wind, lived a boy named Elias. He was not unlike other boys his age—curious, adventurous, and endlessly imaginative—but there was something about him that set him apart. Perhaps it was the way he listened so intently when others spoke, or the way his eyes seemed to hold the weight of unspoken thoughts even at ten years old." What is this? Did you really look at it and thpughz, "Damn, that's good. I need to post this"? Do you genuinely want to tell a story, or do you just want to be another author?

Thanks for taking the time to read and leave feedback.I get where you're coming from. That kind of intro isn’t for everyone, and maybe it leans too hard into style over substance. Still, “The Echoes of Eternity” is something I care about, and I’m telling the story the way it speaks to me. I’m not aiming to follow a trend or chase a format, just trying to write something real to me. That said, I appreciate the honesty. It gives me something to think about.

It sounds like they ran it through AI. I'm trying my best to ignore posts like these. You see generic prose, bolded place names, and weirdly fast updates? And how the story feels like it's been cobbled together with no glue that make things consistent?

Those are warning signs. Good luck to you, fellow reviewer. But there's nothing you can do.

The story has no glue that make things consistent because the author ate it.
