A Bored Lich 63 Reader Feedback

This is probably the most direct I will ever be with you guys. The reason I made this chapter which, as the t.i.tle suggests, is to gauge the reader feedback. I need criticism. The reason I am doing this is because of the quality of every chapter before this one. While I do spend nearly an hour and a half per chapter, that is not enough. This site demands quant.i.ty over quality. An important part of the writing process is the drafts. I am sure all of you have made essays before. The first draft has the basic idea and everything. The final draft is what you turn in for a grade which you actually spent time on. Because I have been strapped for time due to publis.h.i.+ng this book close to finals, you have all been reading the first draft. In the world of writers, the first draft should never see the light of day. It has been a constant source of stress to me built up alongside my stresses of finals but now everything can be fixed. No matter how bad you think you can criticize (I'm a.s.suming you're not as bad as r/roastme) I am criticizing myself the most. Every chapter has serious problems in my eyes, even this one. I am going to beat the ever living c.r.a.p out of this novel. The reason I make this chapter is to ask for your help.

While I know a general idea of what I'm going to edit, I need that reader feedback. Don't worry about making me feel bad. I can take it. Just from chapters 5-6 you can tell I'm not a pushover when it comes to handling stuff. I just need your opinion no matter how invalid or valid you think it is. While I will take it into consideration it doesn't mean I will take your criticism as law. I will use my own judgment to know if a criticism is fair and deserves to be implemented or not. Please please please give me your take. To do this you have two ways: Comment on paragraphs LATER in this chapter or join my discord and tell me directly. The link is here: https://discord.gg/tHaceja and the copy-pastable link will be in the comments. (That's right I'm back to my usual shameless self). If I don't understand I will respond and ask to clarify.

Here is what I am going to do. Reguardless of the type of feedback I get, from the 20th to the 26th I am going to disect every action in this novel. While I am doing this I will only upload once a day. No chapter will be safe from revision. After this time I will return to my usual two a day (with slightly better quality chapters) "But Random_Writer, won't we have to reread everything?" The answer to that is no. While I am going to make serious changes, none of them will affect the plot after joining the war. There will be some things that need clarification and I will provide you with that. After these six days of editing and rehas.h.i.+ng, I am going to make a list of all the changes I have made. You can reread if you want. I am in no way stopping you from doing that however if you do not want to I will give you a heads up on what I changed in a chapter.

Now for the reader criticism part...Oh boy. In the paragraphs below you can give your feedback in categories on the story before this. For example, for most hated chapter put in a paragraph comment saying your most hated chapter and why. It doesn't need to be anything fancy. Just don't say something as unconstructive as "Because..uuuuuuhhhh reasons which I will not list!"

Here are the categories. Feel free to paragraph comment on as many as you like or a single one. All criticism is accepted.

Plot: What were the best aspects of the novel?

What were the weakest aspects of the novel?

Is the story plausible? (Yes I know a fantasy isn't plausible)

Did some areas make you loose interest?

Were some areas not easy to follow?

What are you the most confused on?

Character: What character do you like the most?

Which character do you feel is weakest/always confusing/worst designed?

Do they hold your interest?

Pacing: were parts too slow?

Was anything too fast?

Were there any parts where the novel suddenly jumped from one thing to another without a proper transition?

Power system. I will make it better by actually telling you guys what the power system is towards the beginning.

Were any scenes just out of place?
