I want to thank everyone that made it this far in my first book. I would like to point out that I have found the Royal Road community to be very supportive. I appreciate everyone’s comments, as they were, more often than not, polite and constructive (even when being severely critical). I also appreciate everyone’s tolerance early on when I didn''t have access to MS Word and there were way to many obvious editing mistakes (Yes, I know there are probably still more).
Now, I apologize. Before moving on to book 2, I want to take some time to go back and address any glaring errors and plot loopholes you have noted in the comments I haven''t had a chance to read yet. FYI – Also, I will be covering for a coworker and things will be crazy busy over the next 3+ months, but know I don’t want to hold off starting book two for too long.
I see now that in my quest to avoid making my character overpowered, I didn''t have him grow enough. I created excel charts of Danny’s growth compared to the wizards, and he starts slow and grows exponentially as he ages while the wizards are stagnant. I will try and go back and alleviate this issue somehow with more “chemistry” action. I had plans for having major growth happening in the next book (hint: what happens to him at the very end of this first book), but that doesn''t help me if I lose readers before they finish the first.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
Please leave a review, if you haven''t already, and honestly tell me what you liked and didn''t.
As always, please walk near junk mail responsibly.
