Ok, so on chapter 2:
Interesting, I don’t think I have any major critiques or anything on this one. As for Nia, I wouldn’t call her a villain, though she is a minor conflict. I don’t think she’s overboard at all, she’s just not a very likeable character currently, so if that’s what you were aiming for, I think you did great!…[Read more]

Thanks! I definitely was kind of experimenting with a lot of different things that I normally don’t do in my writing… Like prophecy, and more POVs than I’m used to. Throughout the next few chapters, more are added in, including the male POV. I think something I’ve also done is made a lot of the characters similar in persona…

(The definition of reality I’m using here is “the state of existing”. Just to be clear.) Perhaps there are two kinds of realities: the reality that has always been, (God), and the reality that He created, (time and space)? Did God create reality? Is God reality, since He has created everything and has always existed?
If reality is sim…[Read more]

Very intriguing! It captures a very classical fantasy vibe quickly with swords, prophecies… as well as dragons of course, I’m interested where you will take that. I will say that the pacing felt a little weird to me, not because your getting into it too quickly (I’m far worse with that), but because it felt like Kirah was too…[Read more]

Karci sounds very intriguing! It sounds like your really digging into the deeper political dynamics going on.

Your characters sound so sweet! Love the boards! That gives me a little more context for them in your writing I’ve read so far.
Yeah, I think that’s a good choice. It is the sad truth, but it’s a truth regardless. I think of Azula from Avatar the Last Airbender. We don’t know of any future redemption for her after the…[Read more]

(Ok I see what you mean. Curiosity seems more like a ‘wanting to know more’ for amusement, rather than a hunger or desire for deep knowledge. Although the former could just be because of a certain monkey I always think of whenever I hear the word curious. 😉 )
(Yep! You summed up what I was thinking pretty well there XD)

I never got tagged so I didn’t see your response, lol, sorry.

(Curiosity sums it up pretty well, in my opinion.) Do you think there’s something missing?
(Yeah, I think it’s a good summery. It feels like the word curiosity doesn’t give a complete connotation though.) I’m not sure, perhaps there are different degrees of what curiosity is? Does that stray from the heart of a question? (I would say t…[Read more]

Thanks! 🥰
Ooh, your charries sound so interesting! 😲 I already loved N’Nesha and Liren tho…so…y’know…XD But the other two sound really cool too!!! 😁
I feel so bad for Liren…😭 I hope he has at least a semi-happy ending…❤️
Thanks to you too! I’ve seen a few of your characters already as well, but not all of them, your villain…[Read more]

Love everyone’s characters!
Thanks for the topic! Your characters sound really fun!
That fills in a few gaps for me, they’re really cool! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah! I’ve heard a lot about your incredible world, but non of your characters yet (other than some historical figures), I can’t wait to…[Read more]

(Sorry I’m a little late to the discussion)
I like it! I think the pacing is good. Although, it felt a little redundant with the same status quo shift three times over with the soldiers holding guns. That wouldn’t necessarily be unrealistic in any way though, so I think it’s fine. As for Dao, he seems fun. I immediately thought of Tom…[Read more]

What about curiosity? Does that tie in with the desire for a deeper understanding?
Is that not perhaps the definition of a desire for a deeper understanding? Does there still feel like there’s something missing though?
Well ok, not by themselves, but since I’ve eaten them, haven’t I inherently tasted them, even if I didn’t consc…
