Nice.
Remember that a marching ant travels a greater distance than a sleeping ox. Pick an area that interests you and if you truly desire it you can become one of the smartest people on that subject. Knowledge= Time spent learning*IQ
Most people dont like to spend their time learning , so you can easily catch up if you put your mind to it.

I am so happy that you liked it!
I figured I had to use Cronus, since he’s tied to Saturn in mythology, and I really wanted to use Saturn as the focal point of the story because that hexagon storm really is weird to me.
I wanted to touch upon other species going to the afterlife because whenever I hear shit like “dogs don’t go to heaven” or “animals don’t have souls” it makes me want to pull my teeth out with how self centered the entire idea is.
Another anon also said that grammar and dialogue was iffy, I am going to try and work on that. Funny, I had a more light hearted story I was working on a while ago. Looking back at it I see a bunch of mistakes, but when I had shared it with some anons they all told me they like the dialogue. I think for my next story I’m going to try and go back to a more causal tone between characters. Conversations between edgy criminals and powerful ancient dead don’t flow as well as I’d like them to.
I sort of wanted the Mars thing to come as a minor surprise, like to the protagonist it wasn’t even worth thinking about that he lived on the red planet. Honestly it’s not terribly important story wise that he came from Mars, I just like the Mars/Antares symbology of him choosing between the two at the end since Antares is the “rival to Ares“ (maybe a bit too on the nose there).
Thank you again for checking out my work

People hate beta characters too much. Not everyone and every story is meant to have an uber giga chad protagonist.
