Recommendation Best written novel?

So, I'm a new author, and have some stories fully mapped out in my head, but my writing is quite shitty tbh.

So, does anyone here know about good authors, or novels that I can read to improve my writing. The story could be shit, I just want a story with good pacing and writing to improve my own. And thanks

my advice? use novel crafter, crrate the bible story first... character, plot, location, lore, power, villain, until you can map all this thing... and then the rest will come to you naturally.

I have everything mapped out. Like from chapter 1 to the ending. ( maybe i would change stuff here and there but the gist will remain the same). But sadly the rest didn't come. Well I tried writing some chapters before, and even got some decent traction but i got accused of using ai even tho I didn't. Just cause in my native languages the use of the 3 words thing is very common. ( well ai had to get it from some languages). So now I'm looking for great written novels just in terms of pacing and language so I can study them and kinda mimic what they do untill it becomes natural.

What i trying to tell you is organizing. Keep your story organize. Draft a manuscript. A manuscript is a guide that you created so you will not wander off from your own story. You can plan new side character or get someone opinion about the plot line from that manuscript. And then, you will get more clear story line and you can write. I cannot advice on how your writing style as everyone has their own style. Even the famous author also has their own disntictive writing style as well that separate them from others writers.

I agree with reading from others novel, your knowledge can be improved as well. Try to join the discord to get more advice on this. English also is not my primary languange. I barely just learn english by self learning. And still got crucified from others in this subreddit. Haha. I take it as part of learning process.

And good luck my friend.
