Love to write, hate the publishing industry. Serials are the past and the future, and I want to to create interesting works to make you laugh, cry and love. Keeping the lights on would be nice, too

I very experimental style, almost literary and completely poetic. It's beautiful to read, if you enjoy that kind of thing, and if you like to read ponderous, philosophical prose, with colourful characters and what appears to be the beginnings of a good story. The writing could use proofing, and the formatting seems strange to my eyes, but it's a good work all the same, even if not specifically to my tastes. I won't be unlocking the paid chapters as a result, but I encourage you to jump on this if you're a fan of descriptive writing that deep-dives in the character's heads, beginning the depiction of the relationships between the characters. Downgraded for poor grammar and a slight confusion as to where and when this story is actually set

Man's still in denial...
Lith had never meant for the trip to be romantic, but before answering he looked at Phloria. Albeit their relationship was mostly platonic, he couldn't ignore her feelings since they had planned the trip together. - NiallStephens2yrReplied to Dragoma

They were so young, while he felt so bitter and old. They could take whatever path they wanted in life, while he was struck on a one-way railroad. - NiallStephens2yrPosted
This is absolutely excellent. As a writer myself, I can't stop applauding the clever use of techniques like irony, perspective and best of all, the foreshadowing. Everything seems to have foundations somewhere earlier in the story (albeit I only just started paying for chapters so still a long way to go). But that's not even the best part, the best part is the characters. It's easy to tell how long the author spent with these people, fleshing out their desires and virtues and flaws, and it shines through in the work. Each one feels like a real person that I'm getting to know for the first time, and every action they take is authentic based on the arcs given to them. There are a few proofreading errors, but honestly, with this quality, who cares?
