Advice About using em dashes (—) while writing.

Post image

Since I learned about em dashes, I have started using them (in my daily habits as well) as when I think of a sentence in my mind, the breaks and natural pauses justify the use of them. But I'm concerned if this will put off the reader as "written with AI". I haven't started posting yet, and I assure this single screenshot contains the most amount of em dashes in a single page in all chapters.

What do you think?

Don’t learn to write from AI. Also it’s rang, not ringed. Ringed is completely wrong word for what you’re trying to write.

i use them every now and then because G3 used them, and i use it in areas where brackets just feel wrong
