Anon, you're begging on Amazon, nobody is going to buy your schizo shit for $12. There are 50K novels that sell for less than that. Your description doesn't tell me anything about your book, save for the fact that it's written by a narcissist.

I read the Preface. I do not say this to be mean, but you are delusional and should seek help.
On a more constructive note, you will have stronger writing if you remove "i think" or "i guess" from pretty much everywhere. Lines such as "But i think we have reached a point in human history..." probably express your meaning more if you just assert "We have reached a point in human history...". It's also just redundant to include these kinds of phrases in an essay-like format, since as the reader we assume that everything the author is writing they also think. Personally I am not a fan of phrases such as "If you had money back in the day..." since this is vague and informal. Maybe this thought could be rephrased as something similar to "Prior to the Information Age, knowledge and the ability to experience other cultures was achievable only to those with the means to afford it" which is a little more mature. Or you could do a comparison on how the Internet has done "1000x more for the spread of information than even Gutenberg's printing press" (to ground yourself with a historical reference). You might find more engaging writing if you present ideas that the reader might hold / respect and shoot them down. I.e. Nietzsche says "God is dead" and it's very provocative. Or if you want you could use a rhetorical question to explore your topic. Your cover is also a bit of a mess, it is painful to look at red on top of a pattern that uses shades of red/orange. Looking at the cover from my kindle (where there is just shades of black/white) actually makes it look a bit better. I think a solid color like black with the pentagram in the foreground would be simpler and easier to look at. Additionally, the title might be easier to look at if it was on top of a box with a different background, since right now it blends into the bg.

>>16256525
The cover is meant to look extravagant, i want it to shine and i don't like the idea of turning simple phrases like i can't into "i'm unable to can" just to look like i can write or some weird shit. It's not about the writing in this tract, its about what i have discovered and my true genuine thoughts, because i think everybody is fake nowadays, trying to make everything florid and pointless, i like to write something as raw as possible which is the point of my work.

I'm not trying to be provocative or anything else, and i don't care to make anything the way anyone likes it, this is just my whole life philosophy into one tract, think of it what you will senpai.

I understand a pentagram is supposed to look red. I am saying that similar colors on top of each other is not very pleasant on my eyes. I am not very good at graphic design though so feel free to ignore my opinion.

>>16256560
I am not saying to turn simple phrases into complicated ones. I am saying to trim the superfluous statements like "i think" from your writing so we can get more directly TO what you think. I am saying to avoid vague/cliche phrases without giving them more substance.

>>16256573
If you're writing for yourself then that is fine. I am only trying to offer you a perspective that you cannot have: as a reader who does not know anything going on in your head other than the words you give me. I had assumed that if you were writing then you were wanting other people to understand/engage your work. I wanted to let you know that your work was not very interesting just because you say "everyone before me is dumb, i have the answers!"

Does your tract delve into your idea of an ideal or, at least, improved society? Or do you stick to detailing its failures and how the individual can improve himself within the system?
If you've cut your thoughts on this from the tract to keep it brief, would you mind writing about it here?

>> No.16258224

>>16257686
It does delve within an ideal and towards an improved society as a whole. But the focus is, instead of improving the society, its entirely on the individual. By discovering a certain state of mind on my own i have realized that the benefits we will get as a whole, if we were all to practice it would be extremely immense. The second part too, its about how the individual can improve within the system and the system itself as a consequence, for the system is just an abstract, in essence its a bunch of individuals working together.
