Ah trolls... the one fantasy creature we've managed to find/generate on Earth... ... ... I am digging this opening... I like the whole, "hey what's going on? Oh, this douchebag?... wait, high traffic zone, score!" ... ... your writing has a pleasant flow and rhythm to it so far, thus making it easy to slip into its narrative vibe. Kudos... looking forward to more.
Ok, **** democracy, but you don't know what you lose until you lose it. I would make a constitutional monarchy or something, that is they way forward......as unfortunately most nobles are corrupts and do not even look on peasants as humans. I still hope he will modernise somewhat.......trolls do not have to do anything with medical practices and technology.....that is VERY far away for him to worry about. Still, nice start, cant wait to see what this is going to be about!
Good beginning! I like how the setting, initial conflict/plot, and background of the character was all introduced in the first chapter without feeling like an info-dump. Well done! My only question is, based on the circumstances, wouldn’t it be “I given the choice, I would NOT want to return? Because I took it as return to modern day, and the next paragraph after was about not wanting to deal with the annoyances of modern day living. Life as a noble was mentioned first, so I can understand it in terms of sequence, it could mean return to being a noble, but overall, that feels counterintuitive. Anyway, it was just a minor bump in cohesion, but I still understood in the end. Great start and good luck in the contest!
