NOVEL NEXT Reader feedback needed!
Hi, friends! I need your help.
Let's make this story the best it can be. I've poured almost four years of my creative energy into Glass Mage, and I've loved every moment of the journey. I'm a much better writer now than when I started. As we approach the end of the penultimate book (I plan to finish the story in the next volume), I've begun looking into publishing and narration options, and I've taken a long look at the quality of the project. Let's be honest: the story can be better. Readers deserve a better version, which is why I'm working on revising it. Yep, the entire thing. That means listening to all the feedback over the last seven books and rewriting the entire series to bring it up to par.
That's good news. The bad news is that lately I haven't had much time to write. Life is busy, and writing new chapters alongside the full-scale revision simply isn't tenable. I don't want to abandon faithful readers, though. PM me if you want to beta read. I'll also still post new chapters on the current story when possible. I'll try to keep up a cadence of posting 6 weeks, but my primary focus is shifting to the rewrite.
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
My goal is to relaunch the story before publishing. I want a shot at Rising Stars to get more eyes on the story this time around. Ideally, I'd like to hit at least 4.5 stars and 3000+ followers, which seem to be the bare minimum for attracting a publisher. For context, even with 4.33 stars and 1200+ followers, I've fallen out of the top 3000 fictions on Royal Road. I'm a very, very small fish in a big pond. With your feedback, I hope to give the Glass Mage a fighting chance at flourishing.
Now is your chance to tell me all your pet peeves or requests. Let's set a story record for the most comments on one chapter. Be critical. Be creative. Big picture or tiny detail, it's all helpful.
Bring it on. Unleash your editing powers!
