- SteelheartRoyal Road★★★ 3.0As of chapter 8:
Well, it's still too early in the story to make a definitive statement with regards to it's quality, but it looks promising. There are a few issues though:
- It feels like an early draft (which it is, according to an authors note, i think). That means, that there is no good flow to the story, it feels somewhat jumbled together
- Character interactions feel forced and/or rushed at times
- Descriptions are often told instead of shown, they feel like separate parts, removed from the story.
- The whole thing would very much benefit from a slower pacing, as it feels very rushed, things that should be a chapter on their own are glimpsed over in a few short sentences
BUT:
Even though it is not perfect, for a rough draft it is acceptable and it definitely has a lot of potential! The cast is varied, everyone seems to have their little quirks, though they aren't fully fleshed out yet (not part of the score, it's too early to have perfectly fleshed out characters). This is a story to watch out for, if it ever gets published or reworked here on RR.
