“I would really appreciate some feedback on this, its my first time writing anything like this. Its pretty short; I just want some critiques and tips. Thank you! A boy stands in his room, blood dripping from his arm, he doesn’t know why he does this, but he knows he wants to. He doesn’t feel guilt, nor does he feel sad or depressed, does this have to do with his subconscious wanting to punish him for his past deeds, he's yet to figure it out. The boy tries to look at himself from an outside p”

“Trying to make a story that can contextualize some things about my love life and my mental health. To do this in a way that won’t just make me sad, I want to do it in a Shonen manga/light novel type of way. I needed a power system that wouldn’t be overly complicated like JJK, more free and chaotic so I can focus on other stuff in the story, and here’s my best attempt at it. [Name TBD] Everyone within this system has an inner something. Could be any object, animal, etc. This motif has a rule that”
“I'm a new writer currently working on what I plan to be a web novel set in an Adventure Time-inspired world. The basic plot is about a boy named KK who crashlanded on the planet poh with his older brother, GG. They both carry family heirlooms, but when GG goes out on tour as a DJ, he snatches KK's chain. Kk is on a quest to get it back. I want to share the first chapter for critique. I'm mostly concerned with flow and its ability to hook the reader. Any and all critique is welcome. A”
“I must preface that this work is not about me, It is a very deep depressing short story that follows a boy through the twists of his chaotic mind. I wrote this entire piece based on the last line of the story, I had an ending and I got there in a way that I'm very proud of. I have a few questions, nothing big. While I did not experience the events in this story exactly, it is based on my Issues, I do not intend to generalize OCD. I would really like to receive some feedback as I am pushing f”
“(I hope I'm doing this correctly) As the title says I'm looking for an honest(if needed) jerkish critique of my story so far. It's a mature rated isekai fanfic where the protagonist is a HK and SS fan who was reincarnated into a random Noble bugs body, trying to prevent disastrous events that happened in the game from his world while also living among other nobles and partaking in their world. (If you wanna back out now then I would completely understand) If anyone's willing I”

“Yǐncáng Air Base Western Sichuan, China February 13th, 2029 13:00 “What is this?” “You are worthless.” “Where am I?” “Pointless.” “Why can’t I see anything?” “The idiot doesn’t even know where he is.” In the depths of the void, he awoke, alone and scared. Surrounded by an impenetrable blackness where a dozen voices whispered evil in his ear. He had no memory of how he’d gotten here, no memory of childhood, of family, or even his name. It was just him, the voices, and the lingering fog. He had to”
“Last week I asked how to become a writer. All of you told me to start writing. So, here I am with the beginnings of a short story that I’ve been working on this week. I’m trying to economically set the scene and produce some dialog with tension and emotional weight, and hopefully enough of a hook that you manage to get to the end of it and wonder what happens next. How can I get better? submitted by /u/nimbus_signal [link] [comments]”
