Week 4 Review Response : Archangel_MikeKhael
Arieluma! Thank you guys for giving out the time to review and share what you have to say about my work in the Fantasy genre. Honestly, this is the first time I made a Fantasy-slash-Fanfiction Genre in the World of Wattpad showcasing the game I am in to right now.
Before everything else, I would again like to take this opportunity of thanking FWFC which is the first Filipino Book Club I have in the world of Wattpad. Before kasi, I am into bookclubs but not in the Philippines, and the Fantasy Book Club I joined before is centered primarily in the United States, hence my command of the written English Language is highly developed than written Tagalog. Anyways...
Regarding Tenses, truth be told, I, too got a bit confused sometimes when it comes to the tenses of the verbs used in the story. Primarily, I prefer the use of Past Tense since it will be easier for me, but then I got confused when other of my readers would prefer it to be at Present Tense. Hence, the challenge came for me, and I have not got enough time to completely restructure my sentences from the Past tense to the Present tense. If you guys had noticed, Chapter 1 had a mix of Past and Present Tense since I was not able to completely edit it prior to the start of my turn for the week.
With the Setting and Plotline, my work is centered mostly on High Fantasy and it is geared towards audiences that are really into high fantasy elements and one of those is about the background and the sights and sounds. I may not have done some balancing for it to be easy for the other audience, but I prefer to give all the sights and sounds per scene down to the last detail, as what I observed on most High Fantasy novels I read.
With Capitalization as was asked by leoconstellwriter, yes, I have to capitalize the Assassin, as it is one of the major classes of the story. For the classes, I intend to put a little emphasis on the class (i.e. Assassin, Cleric, Gladiator, Templar, etc) as this has a big impact on the story on the World of Atreia, as well as on the game where my work is based from.
Greenlime8, as a fellow gamer, yes, you are correct. Putting something that you are passionate about into writing is a driving motivation and at the same time fun for me. And this is the first time I put something like that into writing. I did get a quick idea of the overall story from one of the main arc of the game, concerning an impending doom of Atreia as a whole because of the continued conflict between the two factions (Elyos and Asmodians) without knowing the Balaur is just lurking around the corner waiting for the right time to strike and conquer Atreia. Same with leoconstellwriter , about creating scenes that are relatable in real life, yes, I will really get to that. It's just that this first 4 chaps concern the search for Aidan.
ChantalCruz30, purple_porpoise , and leoconstellwriter , I thank you for stating about info-dumping, which is one of the weakest link about me as a writer of High Fantasy. I usually have this kind of attitude of putting in too much information as if I am writing an encyclopedia (or feels like I am writing a formal written work as what kit_mccartney commented). Maybe this is due to me being indulged in too much formal and business writing, plus most of the time I am writing this story was that I am in the office. The atmosphere does affect your output, I believe.
On some questions about the characters, some may not find the characters interesting yet, but that's how I usually write my character development. But no worries, I understand that they have to strike the readers so the readers will get hooked up. And I am working on it already. So far, only Lady Triniel, Daminu and Kalios are from the game, while I made the rest. Shugos are indeed interesting creatures in the game because of their appearance, their roles in the game and how they control the economy of Atreia, as well as their "nyerk!" mannerism.
The action or conflict, as was being looked for by libranages , is actually underway on the next chapter (Chapter 4 draft), unfortunately, FWFC is only allowing up to Chap 3, so I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it but to send the entry for the next time around. The storyline does seem dragging or slow, but thanks to that insight, I will make sure the storyline will progress faster. But then again, it may miss out some scenes towards the major conflict.
yoshiro_hoshi of all the reviewers, you are the only one who asked about when the story happened. Well it happened right after the Cataclysm, the world of Atreia was split in half. The first half is where the Asmodians are, and the other is where the Elyos are. Just that some terms or names are based on Celestial Beings as well as Demonic beings, hence there are Seraphim, Sanctum, Asmodae (from Asmodeus), and daevas themselves are humans that were granted Immortality and earned wings for flight.
kit_mccartney , trust me, this is not yet a walk through, ( ^_^ ) but yes, it does seem like it, so thanks for that insight. And for that, I have the best reviewer as you. . . Short but it hit the mark.
Again, thank you. And libranages , the words "Arieluma" and "May the Shadows never find you" are actually used in the game of Aion. Arieluma is a greeting from the Elyos, while the Asmodians (who are associated with the Darkness) have their greeting as Azphelumbra . The Elyos use "May the Shadows never find you" as they are living in a world of Light. Anyways.
"May the Shadows never find you."
