rules for short stories

I like the magic system in this story and also how the schools and rules of this energy are portrayed. It's only 8 chapters for today and they are short but the story has great potential

Different beastworld rules/ style is a breath of fresh air. There are also different animal types and “weak” mates just to create a well rounded team, because female lead is a few marble short.

It could be good if not fake and child like character of MC. Its ok to kill time. It lacks depth. Don't expect anything new, its just old tower climb with lv ups... MC don't have class and decline to learn skills. In short he will create his own path because autor will make it possible. In short MC in a way break world rules, as such all of the story became plot armor because everything depends on author. In normal "game world" novels all have to compete within same rules and mc is better then others in same way. Here MC is in his own set of rules = plot armor, its impossible by design not to be.

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques. Short story writers may define their works as part of the artistic and personal expression of the form. They may also attempt to resist categorization by genre and fixed formation. Short stories have deep roots and the power of short fiction has been recognised in modern society for hundreds of years. The short form is, conceivably, more natural to us than longer forms. We are drawn to short stories as the well-told story, and as William Boyd, the award-winning British author and short story writer has said: "[short stories] seem to answer something very deep in our nature as if, for the duration of its telling, something special has been created, some essence of our experience extrapolated, some temporary sense has been made of our common, turbulent journey towards the grave and oblivion".[2] In terms of length, word count is typically anywhere from 1,000 to 4,000 for short stories, however some have 20,000 words and are still classed as short stories. Stories of fewer than 1,000 words are sometimes referred to as "short short stories", or "flash fiction".[3]

I love this novel, very different and feels like reading multiple stories within one. Short and sweet and distinctive short stories.
