Hello! So I worked really hard on this video and really thought I had improved a lot in quality. I know minecraft letsplays are always a bit doomed but it's a good way for me to improve my video quality and get comfortable with voiceovers. Would really love feedback, especially on any sticking points that could be causing the video to perform badly!

Welcome to Episode 7 of my Minecraft Letsplay CheesecakeCraft!

In this video, we will be finally making a start on the final base in our forever world! We will be building the first of three towers that will be the centre piece of our base. As I build, I am going to share with you guys a bit about how I design my Minecraft builds, and all the c...

I don't watch Minecraft, but to my eyes the thumbnail is good and the video seems well edited.
Minecraft is a very saturated niche so that might be the problem. Thousands of episodes of Minecraft letsplays out there from big well known channels that have had years to cement themselves.

Okay I think it is good but I didnt feel invested in the build. You just showed how it looked like at the beginning but without any more context. Then you just started building and I felt like an outsider, not building with you. I think you should explain a little bit more about the building before, the plan, how you are going to do it, etc. Then when you are building you start to explain a lot of things, but they dont quite grab my attention, It feels like just a big explanation of a lot of things, but in todays age you cant just put footage of how you build something while just talking about some boring stuff. There should be some visuals supporting what you say.
Of course the building is beautiful, and we can see the effort you put into it. But you are lacking a story behind the video. Right now it is just like "hello I wanted to make a beautiful building so I made one bye". You should look at other channels how they create like a entire story for the why and how they build something cool. Of course it will be harder to do videos like that, but if you put in the effort it will pay off.

Also dont forget I am just a rando on the internet that is also trying to get big on youtube, but I am not close to doing that, and this is just my opinion, but hope this helps.

thank you so much for the feedback! you are right, I think storytelling is definitely important especially in letsplays and something I need to work on. Definitely a bit trickier but will help, so thank you for the advice!
