>posting a first draft
Learn to self edit. No one else is going to do this for you. First drafts are terrible.

This is very overwritten both in vocabulary and in emotion. Readers' feelings are moved by empathizing with the character in their situation, not in the character feeling many feels oh so strongly. You also use a lot of cliches.

cause it's a subpar piece of literature. it sits in an awkward place between being an actually passed down oral tradition and an artificial epic created by a single author. it lacks the full authenticity of the former and the thematic/poetic unity of the latter

when will you faggots realize that translation is the ultimate path to patricianhood? there is literally NO reason to know languages other than english and -maybe-, MAYBE, chinese, but probably not even that

iktf OP.

No matter what I write, even a sentence, if it's fiction it turns into genre trash. watch.

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan, vampire prince, hovered up from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of human eyeballs on which ornate cutlery lay crossed.

See that shit? It keeps happening, even when I just try to copy passages from memory. It's like I'm cursed.

>i probably won't be exceptionally good at any field because it's incredibly easy for me to be instantly interested in another
this just means you're a dilettante faggot who doesnt have the insight and aptitude to go deep in anything. you'll forever dabble on the fringes of "general humanities" but lack the intelligence for real achievement in the humanities, or in stem. try /r9k/
