For example, here (and this is the last I'll harp on about it): "Then, he continued flapping his wings, grabbing onto the next crimson crystal and moving forward one flap at a time." The joke is perfectly understandable without the "...uhh..." there. You definitely have the skills, be more confident in your writing! 🥰
Hmm. Ok, listen: I'm a big fan of Shye and this story and I want it to be clear that I'm not trying to lambast you or make you feel bad in any way, shape, or form. I will continue to genuinely look forward to new chapters regardless. That said, I'm starting to notice some detrimental writing habits as of late and I want to provide some of what I hope will be recieved as constructive criticism: you've been overusing ellipses and emotive filler words during narration lately. You don't need to narrate an "...uhh...!" or try to artificially introduce tension in the middle of narration "by way of... breaking a statement in half." It's one thing if it's a character's internal thoughts or dialogue, but narration is not casual speech and shouldn't contain the same quirks. All that tends to do for readers is cause a grating disruption of flow and almost comes off as condescending. Don't get me wrong, I know that's not your intention at all, but you have to trust your readers to understand what's being conveyed without spoon-feeding how you think we *should* be feeling to us. I understand the desire to make everything constantly intriguing and mysterious, but the intrigue should come from the narrative (and this story definitely doesn't lack intrigue). I'm also fully aware that putting out several chapters a day is incredibly mentally taxing and likely to cause burnout that could lead to these types of habits. Idk. Maybe it's just a minor pet peeve of mine and I'm just being picky, but this book has immense potential and I really wanna see it go as far as it can. I really hope this doesn't come off as hostile or anything 😓 please make sure to get enough rest and take care of yourself!
one or two chapters ago, there was a line that read something to the effect of "after gaining enough strength, Xian destroyed mo ru's soul" so I dont think hes in there anymore
nice. get existentially obliterated, nerd.
Adam internally:
oop. must've missed the name drop, thanks for the heads up! 😊
he's talking about the two he promised to smuggle out when he made it here on accident the first time. also, we don't know which weapon mo ru was captured in (unless at some point it was made clear that yuan's weapon is the same that Tian used and I'm just forgetting), nor whether he'd even still be in there.
he was the guy who was trying to persuade aksai to delve into the inheritance with him, right?
