2 prologues? fuck off. no wonder. seriously though you have no ratings or reviews. so review swap on their forums, dumbass. there's guidelines to it preventing simple youtube like sub4subbing, but youve got to put some actual work into each one, meaning theyve to be advanced reviews and must also be written after reading at least 40 pages of their shit. that said your shit kinda sucks and you should expect others to not hold back and tell you the same. my recommendation is you either go back and revise the hell out of this and your structure or just write a new book and do less badly

that all said i really do like the cover, i think that kind of design is smart and will help you stand out once it's actually attached to something worth reading. cheers

Honest to fuck it's largely a combination of preparing a bit of bulk initial output [to increase the odds of getting a few readers and build basically a money farm from these cows] and taking advantage of Amazon's perverse incentives, if you game their system right they'll advertise for you and push your shit on people who already buy this nonsense, which again the bulk helps, they'll assume you're an accomplished writer who just moved to amazon. I also did a bit of astroturfing by hand a week ahead of time and a few fake reviews [make an email account, buy a gift card, buy a pile of well reviewed and popular garbage on that account, review them all, review your own porn] but in hindsight I don't think that actually did shit to really help.

Holy fucking triple dubs.

In your honor, I can confirm that women have always been the coomers. Probably because it's harder for them to get off or something so they're more desperate I dunno.

Couple of reviews here. YMMV - I read for enjoyment and nothing else.

Fish batter stain
8/10
Nice prose, ends well, plenty of charm. A couple of mini-scenes that felt a bit like they could've been cut to streamline things, or replaced with something slightly more action-oriented (thinking of the shop scene mainly). But overall really evocative.

Crystal curse
3/10 DNF
Not expecially good. For one thing in the first act the writer is alternating too quickly between current scene (in the car) and exposition (explaining what led them to the car). This contaminates the action and dissipates tension. Your mind's eye is having to work too hard to come up with new images all the time.
>SIDE NOTE. WHY THE FUCK AM I HAVING TO JUMP AROUND PAGES TO FINISH READING THIS SHIT WHOSE RETARDED IDEA IS THIS.
But also, there's just no stakes. Mysterious rituals are one thing, but the writer hasn't given us any context as to why this might be upsetting or tense for the protagonist - so when we brain-merge with her as readers we're as indifferent as she is. It's just misunderstanding the fundamentals - you can't just describe gross stuff, you have to bounce it off the main character to make it MATTER. Otherwise it's boring.

Hellcion
2/10
I am mystified as to how anybody could enjoy this pseudo-intellectual gibberish. I see a lot of talk about RJC being a narcissist on this board, and if this is his writing I can believe it. It's giving desperation. It's desperate.

Beware my Zoodles
4/10
Just not funny. Also:
>affects less than 1 out of 50 million children
You mean fewer than 1 in 50 million you fucking midwit.

<probably skipped a bunch of shit here. Text uninviting>

The past under the dunes
1/10 DNF
Just nothing here that resembles entertainment. I'm not reading your fucking 1950s history textbook faggot fuck off.

A stick of incense
4/10
Traces of a intelligible character in what is otherwise an unwelcoming shitpost. Not fun or inviting to read.


Goysloppia
4/10
Basically the same review as above. I don't really get these pieces, they don't feel like impressive feats of writing to me because their meaning is so unclear.


Nirina-Lazy Rations.txt
3/10 DNF
Just unremarkable, annoying prose, not enough action.

Debrief
6.5/10
Nice! A good, intelligible story. It just doesn't end that well - like there's no character arc or character failure that makes the thing worthwhile. Just a bit pointless - feels more like a critical scene in a novel than a standalone. But this writer actually knows how to write, and things feel like they matter, which is refreshing.


STOPPING HERE FOR NOW. THE FORMATTING OF THIS MAG HAS GIVEN ME A HEADACHE.
