The synopsis feels as if it was written by an AI.

Ai did a good enough work on the synopsis l guess ?
No it did not. Btw, how many times do you want to post this again? 1 Post is enough, if people dont tag you there, they might not be intererest.
Hey everyone!

I’m Tapas D Ray, an indie author, and I recently republished my fantasy novel on Scribble Hub. I’m looking for honest feedback and reviews to help me improve and grow as a writer. If you enjoy fantasy with deep lore, unique magic systems, and compelling characters, I’d love for you to check it out!

Though, I would be willing to share a tip with you. Stop flaunting and praising your novel to the heavens like this: 'If you enjoy fantasy with deep lore, unique magic systems, and compelling characters, I’d love for you to check it out!'

It’s like a king who must declare himself a king; no true king needs to.

If you must say your lore is sooo good, your magic system sooo unique, then it's already a pass for me
is this grammarly?

First off all, the title "Ashvathaa" sounds like a half-hearted attempt to sound mystical and profound, but it’s just vague enough to leave readers wondering if it’s a name or a sneeze. The promise of a "captivating journey" is a classic cliché that’s been used so many times it’s practically a literary punchline. If you’re going to claim a journey is captivating, at least give us a hint of what makes it so—because right now, it sounds like a glorified stroll through a history book.
And don't get me about the Kylian. The poor guy starts off in a "quiet village" called Emberfall, which sounds like the setting for a discount fantasy RPG. The blacksmith’s forge? Really? How original. It’s like you took every fantasy trope and threw them into a blender, hoping for a smoothie but ending up with a chunky mess. The transition from humble apprentice to key player in a kingdom’s power struggle is so predictable that it feels like you’re reading a checklist of fantasy character arcs.
And what’s with the “looming threat”? It’s the most generic phrase imaginable. It’s like saying, “A storm is coming” without any details—just a vague sense of foreboding that doesn’t actually tell us anything. If you want to hook readers, give us something juicy! What’s the threat? A dragon? An evil sorcerer? A bad haircut? The themes of loss, courage, and conviction are noble, but they’re also as overused as a pop song on the radio. You need to dig deeper and find a fresh angle. Otherwise, Kylian’s journey to “reshape destiny” sounds like a motivational poster waiting to happen.

The question of whether one man can change the fate of the world is a classic trope, but it’s also a tired one. It’s been done to death, and unless you have a truly unique spin on it, it’s hard to care. The idea of being “just another drop lost in the ocean of time” is poetic, but it feels more like a desperate attempt to sound profound than an actual plot point.

Also the synopsis is Ai generated -10000000 score.
There's something funny about using an AI-generated roast to roast an AI-generated summary.

Will have to redeem myself with better AI generated stuff
1. AI is an assistant tool at best.
2. Lying to people with your very first post on a platform is not a good way to start.

The reason your book is (not to be mean) waste of time is not only because of those AI generated texts, it serves no purpose.

Why are you writing this book?
What motivated you to write this book?

If it was for yourself to experiment, then you should know better than to publish AI synopsis.

That too in SH, where people are very fond of their original works.

Sure, they are prideful of their own works, but you gotta be humble at times because there's always gonna be a group of people who are BETTER THAN YOU.

Sadly in your case, around 90% people here out-perform you.

Why?

You lied about your creativity of your book.

You used AI to write a synopsis, breaking the trust as to how much you wrote by yourself.

Not only that, but there are books that have the same recurring themes as yours, that's more creative as well as ORIGINAL.

People won't exactly remember your achievements, but they will hella remember your crimes and mistakes.

Heed my advices.

I don't come as a foe, but as a merrily passer-by.

You have to rewrite from scratch.

Of course, you can use AI-tools for grammar checks, research about certain topics and review your chapters, but don't replace your creativity with it.

Well I do love you guys, and thank you it feels refreshing. At least in scribble hub I know someone is reading and giving actual feedbacks. Cz in other platforms it doesn't matter whether its orignal or ai generated work the feedbacks are hard to come by. So extremely grateful to you guys ? will come back to you with a human written orignal work that can pique genuine interest.

That's a promise
