Hello! I know its been a while, no I have not dropped the series or stopped writing it.
The fact of the matter is that I have started editing the “First Book” which is about 10 Chapters ahead of the current posted one.
But here are some questions that I want yall to answer in the comments.
* 1st or 3rd person perspective.
* Most of the story is in 1st person (Monty’s) perspective. But there are a few chapters/parts where it is in another characters. This is honestly not the best writing from a technical standpoint. But do you guys wish for me to keep it.
OR
* A have it all be 1st person with no other character perspectives outside Monty.
* B have it all be 3rd person with no other character perspectives outside Monty.
* C have it all be 3rd person with additional character perspectives.
* Pacing - What points of the story do you feel are unnecessary/ the pacing is off. I have a few that I’ve noticed that honestly don’t contribute to the story/characters enough for it to be included, but I would like to hear yall’s opinion.
* Readability - Are there any parts of the story that don’t make sense? To a emotional/logical/just how it was explained, anything really.
* Characters - Do any of the characters feel flat/not fleshed out or used to the best of their ability. I have an idea for a few, and a lot of characters don’t get much use because their plots/stories are not relevant yet.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
* Plot - I know there isn’t much plot at the moment. When I first began writing the story I had the idea of the magic system, the MC, and the Setting, but the Plot was non-existent. TBH Plots are my weakpoint. Its hard to put a character like Monty in a Save the World Plot with his personality, and its also hard to put him in a Take Over The World Plot for the same reasons.
I have a bit more of a Plot now, though it still needs a lot of work.
* Setting - What parts of the setting don’t make sense/ need work. (Like how the world is inverse with multiple layers, thats hard to explain in the perspective of a MC who only knows that world.) Or the Steampunk aspect with Sun Stones, Stygoscript and all that.
Maybe you can see some odd things that wouldn’t fit in a Victorian setting. Anything like that.
The editing will cover a lot of things.
* Grammar
* Dialogue/Exposition
* Plot Holes
* Pacing
* Character Changes
* Adding Plot Points
* Adding a Victorian/Steampunk style to the exposition. (RN it sounds very… webnovely)
* Name of the Series (I actually thought of a good one I promise)
While most of the main parts of the story are the same/similar, enough is changing (especially at the final part) that it feels redundant to post them.
Hopefully by the time I’m done editing the first book it will be an absolute banger. With all the creepy mad scientist Monty but with more finesse in the prose and better character interactions n stuff.
Toodaloo.
