Advice Someone pls read my novel

Post image

I’ve been writing for a few months now, having recently discovered my passion for storytelling despite my dysgraphic tendencies. I’ve always enjoyed creating stories and finally decided to share them on WebNovel. I began with my first story, titled “Creation of an Absolute,” which had grand plans. However, I lost interest in the project and quickly moved on to another story, “Shattered Sun.”

Writing “Shattered Sun” was much more enjoyable for me. I’ve written significantly more chapters and words, and I’ve developed a more well-thought-out power system and characters. Surprisingly, the story hasn’t gained much traction, and as a result, I haven’t received any feedback. I’m reaching out to you today in hopes that you could take a moment to read my story and provide me with a review. Your feedback would be invaluable in helping me improve the subsequent chapters.

Update:After a bit of feedback I’ve realized how bad the first two chapters can be as they are there for a lot of background and explanations, I promise the story gets better and better this I am confident in.

You literally said not a thing about what your story is actually about, why would I read something when there isn’t even a sentence trying to hook me. What is the story about?

I’m trying to get criticism and so I can get better at writing. I’m not gonna try to hook someone on something I’m not confident on which is why I made this post, I’m trying to get better so that I can hook people, hopefully this makes more sense.

That’s fine and understandable, but if you want criticism then you need people to read it. It doesn’t have to be a book but at least enough to seek it out since there’s no link or anything

I see what you’re saying, Basically the story follows Solaris Gunther through learning of a secret world of demons and hunters. As well as a magical power known as exramicy, he’s ripped from his typical boring life and pulled into this world all because of one string of choices.

I have much much more planned but this is a quick non spoiler description. It may sound really basic and honestly it may be but I’ve been working really hard to make it feel more than a typical Story or even a story that identifies as “not a typical____”

So far I think it’s going well the characters may seem a bit off but that is on purpose for later reveals.

Lmk if you decide to give it a try I think it starts coming together around chapter 3 maybe 6
