First attempt in a while, let's see how it goes:
>Longer entries are best posted in pastebin format
>Criticism should be constructive
>Its highly encouraged to critique others submissions before posting one of your own
>Discussion of literature in general is welcome

Try to read your own work aloud before posting.
Try to review other people's work before posting.
Even shoddy written reviews can still help an writer understand what their piece does, but you shouldn't force it or think crit for crit is mandatory.

Yes, I'm done now. I was never going to become the next Faulkner, the next Nabokov or the next Joyce, but I hid behind the language barrier to avoid criticism for months, maintaining an illusion that was fun to live in while it lasted.
This will be my final post on /lit/. I've been humiliated and exposed as a fraud. My writing is pretentious, infantile, banal drivel. My observations are dull, my language grade school level. My tenses are mixed up, I use colloquialisms, ellipses and onomatopoeia.
I was never cut out for writing. I began writing my "book" on January 6th. Since then I've produced 63 thousand words for it. These words are a tide of garbage without value, without insight, without form. The themes of time, space, infinity, memory and pointless duelling are not present in my work. It was never real writing, it was anime and weebshit.
I have failed. Goodbye.

I changed the structure of my opening chapter.

Starts with something that happened much later in the chapter. Hoping it will make things easier for readers.

Anime or not, you're not specifically asking for critique, you're just shilling your stuff, and it'd be better if you kept that to /wg/
