Description

This was the first draft of I Dream of Dead Things. Feel free to read it if you want.

Join Monty as he dissects his way through a fantasy steam-punk world.

Monty finds out that he has the potential to become a Dreamer, someone who literally can turn their dreams into reality. He will have to wrestle with how gruesome those dreams might be and come to terms that not being normal will be exactly what he needs to gain power.

- If the world setting is a bit confusing look up the Hollow Earth Theory then imagine adding layers to the outside like an onion. -

    The Magic System seems interesting and I like the way that the MC thinks about things in a bit of a gruesome way. From what it looks like the magic will be based on a persons desire, so it will allow for a lot more flexibility. Please don't make the MC super Op too quickly, slight OP is good.

    I am not expecting anything at all but,
    The story manage to capture my interest right away. It's gruesomely entertaining read. It is a coming of age drama that have a lot of teenage shenanigans. The story takes place at a continent that just survive a massive civil war with a lot a magical monster that's called nightmares.
    There's a lot of potential here.
    Looking forward for more.

    This fiction tickles at a part of my brain I didn't know could be tickled. The way things are described, the thoughts of Monty, everything is just... appealing. And seems to have been deeply thought on, at least to an extent. But what really shines for me are the ideas. Everything to do with Dreamers is infinitely intriguing and multifaceted in a way that piques my interest.
    The prose itself, though, could use work; there are hiccups in grammar and punctuation, and the text encounters issues with flow every now and again. But, for a lack of an editor, I would say it's great.
    Lots of potential, and lots of anticipation for the next chapters on my end.

    Good job would recommend.
    here is some nonsense
    Great job on the new one too and the new one is a great watch too and I love the look of it too and the dial is a great choice for a nice watch to wear to work on a watch party or something like that too and I think it would be a great watch for a nice day out there too.

    The title truly says the opinion so far, reading all chapters available as of 05/21/2023. The story is great, featuring what I can only assume to be an autistic protaganist who struggles with the world calling him a psychopath due to his thirst for all kinds of knowledge. Is our protaganist evil? No. He is simply cold and logical to the upmost extreme.
    Simply put we have an academy story of a boy learning magic and trying to complete his goal, while learning what friendship is after being isolated and removed from his parents.
