I’ve been working on my isekai story Trapped in Another Stupid World, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from fellow writers and readers here.

I'm tired, I just scanned.
It looks promising as a story.
I didn't think or sense it was AI.
Lots of mistakes I used to make and things I still do in my first drafts.

If I was editing it, I would tighten the dialogue tags first.
And maybe consider slightly showing more of the scene in places.

Fix things like this:

he muttered to himself—loud enough for Daion to hear. ( Contradictions make the author look bad. It's one or the other)



Delete things like:


-He leaned in with a piercing intensity that felt like it cut through Daion’s very soul.
-But his voice instantly took on a mocking tone.
-Every word dripped with irreverence.
-heavily mocking the final word

The dialogue tags took me out of reading mode and put me into editing mode despite the dialogue itself being fine.

I like the idea, I might read this later. One question off the bat though ... how can an all-powerful god be losing? Sorry, I just read 2 lines so I have no sense of the context / meaning here. It's just the first thing that jumped out at me...
