^litterally what im saying bro
its called symbolism
yea honestly
I have a slightly longer but more complete version would you like me to make a topic for that or just post as a reply you choose.
itâs all about buildup 
you gotta make people REALLY want to know what it is. keeps attention AND gets people intrigued.
i doubt youâve watched One Piece, but itâs a perfect example.
The Blank Century, an event that happened 800 years ago, blah blah blah, records arenât kept. we know something happened without it ever explicitly saying âsomething happened.â
thereâs little hints dropped here and there, with a sort of ominous tone added to it.
itâs effectively the same thing, but works so much better than JUST saying âsomething happened,â âa certain something.â
like you said here, but you canât just say âcertain something.â drop hints immediately and slowly drop hints along the way.
back to the Blank Century example i used (trying to avoid spoilers in case someone hasnât gotten to the arc), as soon as that bit of lore is revealed thereâs major evidence as to who was involved, how itâs been covered up, etc., but the exact events are left unknown. some people that were there arenât mentioned but itâs enough to leave people theorycrafting.
as the storyâs progressed since then, more lore has been revealed as to what exactly the Blank Century entails. various new people who were involved have been mentioned, other heinous acts shown, whether directly or indirectly, and overall major reveals that builds that hype back up.
by saying that it was âsomethingâ without dropping at least ONE major detail, youâre missing out on the biggest part of what makes the final reveal so good; the buildup.
idk if this made sense so uh, ask questions if you like
i see what you mean, but i think that can just be excused for the sake of being a cool magic variation, it is magic after all
On that note, you probably should have linked the webpage that the full story can be found from in the original post, so that those interested can check it out.
again im hiving you information here the reader does not know this information was litterally released last chapter it has been built up A LOT
oh apart from some parts of it being hard to read and some parts not making major sense heâs fine. i donât really care iâm just trying to help (and be the biggest yapper)
Ima make that topic now
oh okay then completely ignore my yap session about that part lmao
itâs all about that intial buildup then following up with minor tidbits so just do that and youâre good in that department
would you mind explaining to me how a story with meaningful events⌠can happen?
You have a character that has literally killed gods, existed for so long that they know basically everything, and is unkillable. How do you have any actual stakes or real events occur when a character like this exists? Every single conflict that could happen in this story would have either next to no stakes, or wouldnât have a good reason to occur, simply because something like this oc completely invalidates everything.
You could always say something like âHe doesnât want toâ, but thatâs just lazy and, frankly, doesnât make much sense, given that theyâve sworn to fight against all tyranny. I just donât see how you could really write any sort of story aside from people just living in a town when youâve written a character that solves literally every single problem that could ever happen in said story.
long story short he is the perfect god killer he has several aspects that basically make him their natural enemy. plus he isnât the main character if there were to be a main character in my stories it would be Aizen Gray or the red apostles however i use a number of measures to create actually interesting fights.
again, how? how do you manage any sort of interesting fight or conflict when this thing exists?
Donât say âhe isnât the main characterâ, that doesnât matter in any way. How does any conflict happen with this character existing?
maybe youâll just have to keep reading and find out.
Iâm sorry but given that youâve literally written the stereotypical edgy super ancient immortal hyperpowerful OC I donât think your story is worth my time
given your reluctance to read i doubt any is in your eyes.
LOL people are bashing this guyâs writing when he hasnât even asked to be criticizedâŚ
Absolute insanity, the guyâs OC isnât even bad compared to what Iâve seen on Undertale fandoms as a kid back then.
Itâs leaning towards more of a overpowered protagonist power fantasy type stuff. And the story about him being devoted to destroy tyranny and what not is a decent start. (or a goal to change the world?) Nothing wrong there.
Who said everyone had to abide by the rules of the entire plot of AO??? Even my OCâs AO verse isnât entirely 1-to-1 to Vetexâs because itâs fanfiction lol.
I will say however you might wanna use Grammarly like unlucky said.
