I haven’t really mentioned it to much people and have no history as an author, but I recently published a 7 book saga that is about a man that wants to conquer the world called “Conqueror of the Sun”.
My biggest inspiration was Frank Hebert’s Dune. Hopefully, since I am offering it for free this doesn't count as shilling but...

I don't really care about money, but instead I am more interested in if people actually give my story a try. I would be happy to return that good feeling you get when reading a story you really like. So hopefully, I can do that for some people at /lit/. Any feedback is welcomed, even if negative.

How the hell did you get the motivation to work on 7 books for 30 years without releasing any of them?

>> No.14545490

>>14545439

It started off as a hobby and something just that I had fun doing for myself. But now that I finally finished it, I figured I might as well publish them. So, really there was no need for motivation per se. I enjoyed it all.
But the main reason I didn't want to even publish them until the entire main series was complete is because I wanted to ensure the story was very well connected and had no broken references or major plot holes.

SO this is very poorly written. Not only that heres an excerpt not 10 pages in:

>“Sabrina!” he calls out in his dream. She begins to be able to slow her spin as Shawn gets closer. Shawn is surprised when he comes up to her and witnesses her spitting out semen from her mouth. The semen comes out in small amounts at first but starts to dramatically increase in volume over time, turning Sabrina into a cum sprinkler head protruding out of the grassy field to water the grass and flowers with his seed. Shawn’s eyes are of shock. In contrast, Sabrina’s eyes are virtually emotionless. Shawn’s sister falls to the ground, lying down in the flowers and grass. Shawn jumps down beside her and grabs her in his arms. “Sabrina!” Her eyes are closed. “Sabrina!” Shawn calls out again.

>Shawn suddenly wakes up in a flash. He sees himself in bed with Sabrina, in the guestroom bed, and outside it is still dark. He feels a wetness around his stomach area. Oh shit! He thinks as he pulls back the covers from both of them. Sabrina is still sleeping, but his thoughts are just as he feared. Sabrina is covered in his cum, and there is some around his cock as well.

>Somehow Shawn’s boxers had slipped down, too, during his sleeping and dreaming, thus leaving his cock out in the open. He had a wet dream while cuddling in sleep with his naked little sister. Shawn looks down to see his cum all over her stomach and even around the area between her legs. Oh shit! This is not good! He says to himself. However, his fear isn’t about her getting pregnant, as she is far too young, but that it happened at all. Oh, God.

>Shawn gets up and runs to the bathroom in the guestroom as fast but quietly as he can. He pulls out some tissue paper from the dispenser and first wipes off the cum on his own cock before getting another wad of tissues to take back to Sabrina

Really you are supposed to start with Book 1, not the prelude books.
Anyway, I can admit to not having the best technical writing skills, but I feel I am a good storyteller. My execution is not the best obviously, but the entire story is very well planned out.
My only hope is that people will focus on what should be focused on, the actual story.
Either way, I like my story (obviously), but I am not looking to please everyone or even a majority for that matter. If even a few other people like the story that is good enough for me. Which maybe you disagree with the opinion but I have had people say it is good too.

Sure they are sex scenes, but it isn't a majority of the story. That anon is quoting from the 1st Prelude book, which every book says in the foreword that the prelude books are those that enjoyed the main 5 book series and want "more" or to learn the background of the main characters.
The two prelude books are more focused on sex and relationship stuff. However, the 5 main books are more about conspiracies, war, action scenes, etc.

Well, maybe it was a bad idea to post on /lit/, but usually adults are okay with sex scenes. Anyway, if you don't like it you don't have to read it. However, just cherry picking sex scenes isn't how the entire story goes.
If you really want a sense of the series, even though kind of jumping into the middle of it, try to read from Book 2.

I even admitted my "technical skills" aren't that great in writing. But I didn't really expect people to giggle like school children was more my point.
However, I was/am curious about any and all reactions to my story and even if negative as stated. And it is people's free choice to criticize, so I am not really against that. But I am just trying to explain the "entire" story isn't just sex parts.
The whole series is over 2,700 pages and 700,000 words, so even if people post 100 pages of examples of sex scenes it really is a minority of the story.

I was 8. My sister was 5 and one day she started playing with my private parts with her little fingers. It made me excited in a way I hadn't felt before, honestly that was the inspiration for this book. It's one extended (no pun intended) dedication to her and my lifelong "unconquered" (haha) feelings for her. The title was meant to be an homage to how she lights up my world.

Writing is laughably bad. MC is like a caricature. The edgy 'genius' shōnen anime protagonist with questionable morals, an 'ends justify the means' type (Lelouch, Light, etc). Obviously you spend a hell of a lot more time watching anime than you do reading books. This really comes across in the harem of women the mc seems to have who are desparate to fuck him, one of them so much so that she attempts suicide after being turned down for a quick fuck(?). Terribly written self insert smut with your (imaginary?) sister and co aside, everything I read seemed to have a terrible lack of awareness/research. For example, someone identified shell casings and attributed them instantly to specific firearms despite two of the firearms mentioned using the same 5.56 NATO rounds. I scrolled down again and read something about Islamic countries mobilising their forces to attack Israel (presumably part of our protagonist's master plan) and the geopolitics was just absurd. Lebanon is nearly as christian as it is muslim by the way — no mention of Iran. Suicide bombers seemingly listed as part of various Islamic countries regular armies, bizarre. I could go on but I can't really be bothered, I'm sure every single chapter is packed with the same ridiculousness. Are there any female characters bellow the age of 30? Do any female characters serve as anything but willing onaholes for the protagonist? As someone who is obviously a virgin, you should try to write far less sex than you do. A black trenchcoat and a 'hat', really?

All of that asides, you have the guts and drive to actually write something and put it out out there. That's more than pretty much anyone here can say for themselves, so I suppose that's admirable. This is probably the absolute worst place you could have gone for feedback. Best of luck.

Fair enough. I presume you mean the mentioning of the M-16 and M-4 casings?
Outside of /k/ most people won't even know that though. But believe it or not, I was actually in the military as 11B no less. Still I can't get everything perfect or be an expert on everything. However, other parts do demonstrate I have a lot of background and detail in, for example whenever Air Force related stuff comes up.

The story is an alternate history Book 1 taking place in 2004 if I remember correctly. But the countries surrounded by Israel have been wanting to destroy that country for decades. It most certainly has been a real fear of that area forever even if it isn't actually plausible. But this is fiction. I want to explore that impossible and "scary" option.

I can honestly agree with that. Ideally I wish my story could have been done in the film medium, but besides the content itself, having that kind of money is a bigger stretch than writing for free.

You know what, fair enough actually. I probably came across as unnecessarily critical/rude in my post. I'm sure the overall plot is somewhat entertaining. The problem is really the prose. Prose is what you're going to have to use to share your world with people if you're writing a novel. If you can't share your vision effectively, people won't see it. You need to be careful with what you write and how much of it you write. The books you'll find people discussing on this board are generally masterpieces of the medium. The vast majority of professionally published novels would be met with derision here, so bare that in mind when it comes to the responses you got. If you wrote it for yourself, you don't care what anyone thinks of it, and you just wanted to share it, I'd say that's pretty based. If you want other people to read it, honestly you're gonna need to do a massive amount of work. Think about what other people would be thinking when they read what you write. You mentioned Herbert in your OP, observe his style. How he describe things? What does he describe? As I said, I genuinely admire your courage to actually put something out there, I've never shared a single page of anything I've written with anyone because I'm so frightened of criticism.

Of course, it is a real person, but how does that automatically mean the character name in a fictional novel is literally the same person? I am honestly kind of baffled by this "conclusion" that apparently people are making.
In the dedication there are 2 "Sabrina" listed, and the note at the end specifically says they are two different people. So, which one is "supposedly" my "real sister" or which one is being copied and pasted into my story?

Anyway, I will try to make it more clear:
1) Neither Sabrina listed in the dedication is a sister to me nor have I ever even had a sister.
2) Characters share names with people I knew, but all the characters do not share the same personalities as well
3) Every character in my series, which given its size has well over 100 characters, is completely made up out of my imagination
4) One exception to this a minor character that appears in about 4 chapters in two different books. Even then, the character is loosely based on the real person I knew, and also her name is not Sabrina

I will try to explain it one other way, and even though it might sound a little pretentious, it is honestly how I feel and think of things:
For me there is a kind of "aesthetics" to names both in terms of sound and spelling. Naturally, I am going to use character names that I "like the sound" of. Sure, some names gained a "bias" due to an actual real life person/relationship, but again this does not mean I copied the person itself into the character or even that they represent the person.
One final example I can give so that things are kind of understandable (hopefully): Also in the dedication is someone named "Tamara." This person was very special to me, but since I don't like the aesthetics of neither the sound nor spelling, I never used the name even once for the entire series. And, even though never used, no characters in the story even with a different name are representative or share the personality of the real person I knew as "Tamara".

You sound like you really really want to fuck either or both of the two Sabrinas. I'm going to ask every Sabrina I meet if she's heard of your book.

As I described in my wall of text, it is more that I am "in love with" or "want to fuck" (as you put it) the literal name.
