Description
A city that was renowned as the secret crowning jewel of the world, known only to it's inhabitants and select outsiders, is wiped clean from all records and mentions, with only whispered half truths about its splendor remaining.
The other being a collection of letters from a man named Ador detailing his account and journey of the lost city of Rosidum, and detailing whattrulyhappened to it in its last moments; the last moments of a city bearing the stories and technology of a lost human golden age.
(P.S This novel is still currently being written so please expect regular month long hiatuses!)(P.P.S This novel has been temporarily been put on indefinite hiatus until a more coherent narrative and structure can be achieve. Sorry for the inconvenience.) - 30/10/2024I honestly do not see a future for this fiction, so it is more like a piece of history of my early works, something to look back and see how far I have come (and cringe at its writing) - 04/06/2025

- Elijah TalbotRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5It is pretty hard to say what kind of story this is. On the one hand, it essentially tells the tale of Ador in more of a recount of the events through his perspective, while on the other, it is more of a slice of life in ancient Mesopotamia. In truth, it is a really simple read as a whole.
However, though grammatically it is really well structured. Most of the story (9k out of the 10k narrative) is in the second chapter. Which makes the whole experience a slog to go through and read. Which can take the enjoyment out for some people if you are not prepared.
Though despite its structural flaw, it is a really easy story to read through. While it is told in a recounting style, the first-person perspective of a nerd who can read and write good (yes, I will make a Zoolander joke). I find the overall story really cozy in most cases, even though there are moments where it does feel like it is moving relatively quickly in some places. This, however, can be an intentional aspect of the story, with how it is told/written. Which can create unique situations where you doubt Ador's narration, which is pretty neat.
Overall, I say this story is worth a shot.
