The worst thing about "I slipped and fell into Hell" is too much world building and descriptive language. Also, I had to take a one month hiatus but the story will be returning on Thursday for a regular update schedule of tuesday, thursday, saturday.

The protagonist is not on the side of the good guys - maybe the less worse guys - but not the good guys in any traditional sense. The good guys are probably all dead, or virtually powerless at this point. She is in the military of an empire that is deeply flawed and has screwed over many people including her. 

It’s not even particularly grim dark, if anything, we root for the empire because if it’s winning, our protagonist is winning, or at least not losing. However, in a vacuum, if we didn’t have sympathetic characters in their ranks, we wouldn’t like these people or their cause.

I've had many people drop the story at that sequence. :-3
I should probably raise you the fight to death against a dragon made of flowers. 
But that si far from the worst thing. Actually, my story is a concoction of such an insane amount of awful things that i think  only a quote can  convey  the proportion of a trainwreck it is:


“Follow me!” he screeched like a youtuber who is being constantly denied access to minors.

Doom Valley Prep School:
Some people seem annoyed about how being bad is rewarded by the school and is used as a source of dark humour throughout the story. Unfortunately for them, it's only going to get worse.

Necromancer Unmanned:
I think I unintentionally set myself up for a big epic story, that will deal with politics, kingdom building, magical all out war, and a whole host of characters.
I've never tried this before, and when I think about whats coming, I feel cold dread creeping up my spine.
Time to get the alcohol.

The Oubliette
I'm honestly not sure.
On other sites people give it plenty of likes, but almost no one comments on it. So I must be doing something wrong, but not so wrong that its just ignored.

Grammar. Grammer is my worst ennemie. And the worst is I can't do better because I don't know the rules. Don't take me wrong I speak 3 languages I don't know the rules of any of them. I use several grammar checkers (Grammarly, Hemingway and MS Speak Aloud) and still not good enough.

So I hope my story is enough to keep readers although I realise that for some it is not enough. But the story is really good, and I'm very proud of what I achieve.

And I always say - I'm not a writer, I'm a storyteller!

Hasegawa Wrote: Worst things about Nevermore

-long dialogues (I like dynamism between the characters)
-my writing skill appeals to the Eldricht void creatures (apparently)
-lack of puns
-so far a couple chapters where the word count is 7-8k (readers like small chapters I think)
-sex (I dont see why people dont like sex or maybe im just bad at describing scenes)
i LOVE long dialogue.

sure. anything counts, really. a bland main character doesn’t really have to be a problem, as the other characters seem to be able to carry the story anyway. and too much dialogue? that’s not a thing.

Based on feedback, it seems like the worst thing about All The Lonely People is that it is hard to read. The gravity of what the MC is going through (grief, depression, anxiety) weighs heavy in the first several chapters. It's not something I would change though. It's needed. If you can make it to Chapter 6, you'll see the light beginning to shine through.

Some days, I keep finding endless flaws in my work... other days I think it's perfect. It's probably in the middle. 

Worst thing I can think of: I have a bad habit of killing off characters, even good and favorite characters might die off at a dice throw. I have no idea who's going to die so please don't hate me! I just throw dice on it! 

Also. I believe my comedic relief is lacking, but I'm not sure... I can't be the judge of my own humor.

Glavas - Chapters always have a few weeks' time skip between them as the characters travel. Not everyone might like that, as it usually shows only consequences and not the direct effects of certain events.

Artist's Nightmare - It's an isekai I wrote before I knew what isekai is.

Eigam scriptures - I add short stories at random, so no regular schedule.

Tales from Tabletop takes great inspiration from Tabletop RPG's but it doesn't have levels or stats.  Also, while everyone *has* a class, they are not necessarily *balanced.* (nobody is overpowered but I'm playing fast and loose with stuff and basically mashed some stuff together because I thought it would be cool for the story).

Other than that, I'm writing an action adventure story when my bread and butter is character dialogue, so we'll see how that goes. DrakanSigh
