wow this line is poetry, the light as a moral compass and a sword that judges WOWW I’m obsessed.

#

the power stuggle in this 10 words wow

#

and this is so character defining. a king who jokes but demands respect is so chef’s kiss

#

If I had to pick one page that wrecked me i gotta say its pg 7 (Hollenreste reveal). bc the weight of legacy, the gorgeous armor lore, and Malachi’s “Goodbye, Father” to the moon...CRYINGG

#

honestly, keep writing, atp this isnt just a story, it’s literally a future classic.

Not at all!!

Ill go out for a bit but ill definitely finish it once im home! Thanks for pinging me!

ohh myy, this is really AN EPIC, i really dont have any words to say but some lines hit me with the imegary “Majesty atop a mountain great”, “mirrorred horizon”, and “sword and shield wielded through a mind impure”, just. w.o.w. and as a person whos really into space, The metaphor of “a blazing star he called his mother” and “moonbeam from his father” hits just the spot, this is not just a epic but a whole story that deserves a novel and a anime adaptation. The tragic story is represented so beautifully, may Malachi's soul rest in peace and surely he's in a better. AND Malachi's self-questioning (“Why does one deserve a piercing gaze...?”) roots him in both valor and reflection, and some of my personal favs- "Slay a foe and you live honor. Slay a thousand and you live a legacy.” this deserves a quote in a famous quote collection, and “Irony, the beating heart of innocents.” is just absolute cinema. Greatt work Landon!!

#

Who would have thought the Lotus would write a short story some time?

#

And I also adore the german, makes me feel like I have the key to a secret code

#

And my condolences for your dear pup.

If bro doesn’t publish he deserves to be executed do not rush and do not overdo or overwork write calmly and deeply you have all the time in the world until you die then you won’t have any time, but i have read 3 pages and it is absolutely an absolute masterpiece

#

Ngl this felt like I just watched a movie that left me with a cliffhanger... Lol even had to use google translate because I was that absorbed🤣....the mental fatigue thostaff

#

Then again, this story has a soul. It looks like the kind of piece where you definitely felt what you were writing (I mean I wouldsideeye so I'm sure you did lol). Now back to praising😂... The lore is rich, the characters aren’t just names since they have weight

#

I like the Maalachi more. He’s strong, wise, but still real (bro can fight and still talk deep lol).... I like that Leontiuos guy too since he's cool too ig, but we don’t know him well yet so still Malachi for me

#

Also ping in the next book

Everyone loves a deep masterpiece

#

The only point in reading long books is because they should be a masterpiece i have read books above 1000 pages if it wasn’t a masterpiece i would drop at the title

#

Nah

#

I am not christan but i would like to read it

Review !!! By - Keyari ⊹ ࣪ ﹏𓊝﹏𓂁﹏⊹ ࣪ ˖

Sorry to bother your conversation sideeye ...

Strengths VV

You create a rich fantasy world with unique names and cultures/and lore. And you also blend in mythic imagery to set a grand epic tone. And you also use a somewhat archaic style which suits it well. Phrases like “His fury Shown,” “a melody that let his mother set in tranquillity,” and “the Queen of the nights” have an almost mythic, lyrical quality !! You use compelling symbolic elements (e.g., sword and Armor, moonlight, celestial bodies, light vs darkness) that enrich the thematic undertones about honour, legacy, and struggle.

Also the story is quite good since it hints at deep emotional ties for example malachi's relationship with his parents especially the father figure and the tragic backstory of Leontius gives layers beyond just politics and battles and makes the characters more relatable and their motivations clear

Improvements VV

Random capitalization is distracting (e.g., “Without hate, Without war, without severity”). Standardize capitalization only for proper nouns or beginnings of sentences. Also, some punctuation is missing or misused, like commas and dashes, which hurts pacing silly guy ! Use Grammarly also sometimes it's unclear who's speaking or reacting in long paragraphs with mixed narration and dialogue. You should use dialogue tags more frequently

And also alot of exposition is told directly rather than shown through action or dialogue but I'm sure when you make another chapter you'd do this. And also some paragraphs feel jumpy or abrupt like shifting from malachi's introspection to the mysterious voice in the forest.

Overall: 9.2/10 INNOCENT

Also the entire thing is like 8,000 characters long so yeah..

ofc, I don’t mind at all sorry that i’m so late tho, was bust at the time. I love how you named/ wrote a story for your beautiful buddy Malachi, and I am sorry for your loss, he was a very beautoful pup. The story is pretty good, you had me in shock when you described how the father died in the story. And when you used the line “ it was as if escaping hell while enduring it” you shocked me just a little bc i wasn’t expecting that line to be used. Other than that I loved your beautiful tribute to Malachi thank you for pinging me & sharing this with me can’t wait to see your other work!

#

Okay, I read the first few pages

#

It's really dense

#

it's very ambitious but also quite hard to read

#

the elevated language can sometimes make it hard to follow

#

The heavy use of metaphor and allusion might benefit from occasional grounding in clearer plot points or character development to help maintain reader engagement.

In terms of structure, the flow is consistent, but some sections could use more concise expression to balance poetic flourish with readability.

#

I don't really like reading epic poetry, I'm going to be honest (The only ones I can bear are Homer The Iliad and The Odyssey)

#

even those were a bit of a struggle

#

(especially when Homer spends a chapter just listing everyone's dads 🙄 )

#

I actually used a quote from the Iliad to introduce an essay I wrote about violence and protest

#

“Achilles' wrath, to Greece the direful spring of woes unnumber'd…
Declare, O Muse! in what ill-fated hour sprung the fierce strife, from what offended power?”

#

I really latched onto the "offended power" line for my thesis
