Hello everyone!
I’m Cyaxares, the author of The Fall of Everything. As I mentioned in the last chapter, the first season has come to an end! In a way, you could think of it as one long prologue. My goal was to introduce the main characters, their motivations, and a bit of the world they live in. There are definitely parts I’m not entirely satisfied with, but overall, I think it served its purpose well.
Now, the important question: Is the second season starting right away?
Technically, I could start posting new chapters tomorrow if I wanted to. But I won’t. Because if I don’t go through the first season and fix the things that bother me, I’ll probably lose my mind.
But don’t worry! I won’t be making any major changes to the story itself. The things I want to fix are mostly related to writing style.
First, I want to make the dialogues feel more natural. Since English isn’t my first language, I sometimes feel like they sound a bit stiff.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Second, I need to find a better balance in my narration. The story is heavily focused on politics and war, which means I need to include a lot of details. But sometimes, my chapters get too long or are packed with unnecessary information. On the other hand, when I cut things short, I don’t feel satisfied either. So, I’ll be working on getting that balance right.
And, of course, the classic: fixing typos, grammar mistakes, and awkward wording.
So don’t worry—nothing about the actual story will change. But I want to make the reading experience smoother and more enjoyable.
I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially on my writing style and realism of the story! (Seriously, even a small comment helps a lot!)
Also, I have a question for you all: Would you be interested in special chapters that focus purely on worldbuilding?
For example, I could write separate sections explaining the history, politics, or important elements of the world in more detail. That way, I wouldn’t have to cram too much information into regular chapters, and those who want extra details could check them out separately. Let me know what you think!
That’s all for now! Thank you so much for reading and supporting the story. See you soon!
