Wrought Iron

Description
Daniel Corners takes a shortcut that changes his world when he accidentally stumbles into an ancient estate managed by an unusual group of people.
Wrought Iron is my project for National Novel Writing Month November 2022, and simultaneously for the Royal Road Writathon. For more information about NaNoWriMo, check out https://nanowrimo.org/
In the spirit of NaNoWriMo, Wrought Iron's chapters will be published solely as a first draft (cursory spellchecking and editing-while-writing notwithstanding). If you see a plot hole or a problem with the story structure, feel free to point it out. If I decide to do an edited pass of Wrought Iron, I'll definitely take it into consideration.

NB: I'm writing without a map here. Itmightget a little hairy. Bear with me, I'm trying (but also, don't be shy about telling me where I've erred, I want to improve).

- Kayla BjorkmanRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Absolutely beautiful story. Top 5 on this site by virtue of being both good *and* having a well written ending. I'd love to see an afterward of sorts, but it's very well done as is. Thanks for writing.
The world building is original and cohesive. The story beats all hit well. Love it. - OwlishRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Grammar etc is good, characterization is decent. I've got a pretty good idea of who the MC is.
The plot itself is a mystery, and I'm interested to see the conclusion.
The really fun stuff is the world building. The Fae Realm is built, essentially, on heaps of human ideas. Metaphor has weight.
Check it out. - danlinRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The premise is good and so is the writing. Perfect grammer, and I love how the story flows smoothly.
I think that the characterization is good but that since there aren't many characters that are close to the Mc they feel flat because we don't know their goals and likes except on a surface level. I had no empathy for anyone except the Mc while reading this. It's still well done though.
The metaphysics is a nice touch too. Overall, this is a well above average story for RR and I recommend reading at least the first chapter.
