THE RISE OF THE DARK PLAIN

Authors Opinion

Hello there! I am the author and I am here to discuss some relevant points that could affect this story.

Firstly, I want to mention that this chapter could be helpful for any reader who is interested in the idea of the story and wants to know a little more before deciding whether to start reading it.

Now, I will be discussing some points that I believe are necessary for a fantasy story like mine. Please note that the order in which I present these points is not necessarily the most important thing, it is just random. Let's get down to business!

1-Relations: Like many authors on this site, I am also a reader. However, I often find myself disappointed with the kind of relationships portrayed in many of the works I read.

I am not a fan of stories where the main character picks up multiple wives along the way, only to abandon them shortly after or forget about them until the end of the story.

Additionally, I find it unrealistic that every beautiful woman in the story falls in love with the MC or that the MC wants to marry every woman he encounters. Rest assured, this story will not follow those tropes.

In a fantasy story, it is important for human relationships to be as realistic as possible. For instance, it is not believable for a character to abstain from s****l interaction with others. Even if an author chooses not to delve into the details of the main character's s****l encounters, it is still crucial to acknowledge their desires and attempt to fulfill them.

Furthermore, in my opinion, s*x does not necessarily require love. I know people who do not even like each other but still engage in casual relationships. Including such relationships in a story can add a positive element.

However, as a male reader, I do enjoy the idea of a harem, but not to an extreme extent. Each wife of the main character should have her own space and not disappear from the story for extended periods.

2- Cultivation: I have read many stories in which the established rules seem to cater to the needs of the main character. Additionally, there is often no prior explanation of how things work.

Honestly, I don't enjoy this type of development. For me, every rule created is inviolable and cannot be circumvented to satisfy the MC's wishes. Of course, the author can create alternatives, but this must be done from the beginning, leaving a gap that allows for it without creating a hole in the story.

I also believe that differentiating strength at each stage of cultivation is crucial. I've read novels where the character quickly fights against people of a certain level, but when the MC gets stronger and faces opponents of the same level, it becomes much more difficult.

I don't understand this. That's why creating an energy system based on a mathematical law can help bring coherence to the story and prevent the author from making inevitable mistakes.

3- Development of the story is another problem that I often encounter in the stories I read. While analyzing certain arcs or volumes, everything seems to be going well within those chapters, but then there is a lot of wasted potential. It seems like some novels are solely focused on strengthening the main character, as if the other characters are just filler.

It's disappointing when this happens. You get introduced to a new character, learn a bit about them, and then they are forgotten and their story no longer matters.

As a reader, I really enjoy seeing certain characters and their development throughout the story. That's why proper story planning is crucial to prevent this type of situation from happening. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing characters grow and evolve throughout the story.

4- Mc Development of MCs is another issue closely related to the previous one. Sometimes, I see MCs claiming to care about their friends, companions, and family, but all I see are individuals who lack gratitude and a sense of responsibility. In some stories, the MC joins a sect, becomes stronger, and receives excellent support from the sect. However, when the MC leaves, they do not look back.

In many of these stories, talent is almost worthless, since external resources make the main characters strong.

Why not help the ones who welcomed you when you were weak? Sometimes, the MCs return almost at the end of the story when the authors no longer want to spend a lot of time on these texts. This is not satisfactory when I read it.

These are some of my opinions on what should be included in a novel. I am an amateur writer who decided to start writing my own story after experiencing disappointment with the texts I had read. As I write, I will strive to avoid the same mistakes as my predecessors, but as a human, I may still make errors. Additionally, English is not my first language, so there may be some grammatical issues.
