Hi! I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your story your writing style is truly engaging and unique. It kept me hooked from start to finish. I’d love to know, what inspired you to start writing stories?

Hi SarahhTh,
Thank you for such a lovely message! Reading your feedback truly made my day. I'm so glad the writing style kept you hooked from start to
finish.
To answer your question, my inspiration actually came from seeing different portrayals of "angel and demon" dynamics in various stories. I loved those concepts, but I wanted to combine that contrast into the protagonist's power and explore it in my own way-making it feel
grounded, logical, and firm within the world I'm
building.

I think that's one of the reasons it feels engaging to read, because it doesn't feel random or forced. It's obvious you've put a lot of thought into the world you're creating.I also like that you wanted to make the protagonist's power feel grounded rather than simply making them overpowered.Out of curiosity, when you were building this world, did you already have the entire power system planned from the beginning, or did it gradually evolve as you kept writing?@Aergia,

@Sarahh1h ، شكراً لكِ! هذا يعني الكثير بالنسبة لي أنكِ تُقدّرين الجهد المبذول في بناء العالم.
أما بالنسبة لنظام القوة، فهو مزيج من الاثنين. لقد بدأت بنواة صلبة ومنظمة للغاية وقواعد محددة لا يمكن كسرها، لأنني أردت تجنب فكرة "القوة المفرطة".
ومع ذلك، ومع تقدم القصة ومواجهة البطل لتحديات جديدة، تطورت بعض التفاصيل الدقيقة وتطبيقات ذلك النظام وتوسعت بشكل طبيعي.

That makes a lot of sense, and I think that's one of the reasons your story feels so enjoyable to read. I also like that you're actively trying to avoid the "overpowered" trope, because it makes the challenges and character growth feel more meaningful.Honestly, it's interesting to hear about your creative process. It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into every aspect of the world you're building.Out of curiosity, which part do you enjoy writing the most: building the world itself, creating the characters, or writing the action scenes@Aergia,

@Sarahh1h , That's exactly it! Avoiding that trope makes
every victory feel earned.
To answer your question, building the world is definitely my favorite part. There is something incredibly fun about imagining a non-existent world from scratch and crafting its structure
and logic exactly the way I want.
Since this is just the first chapter, was there any specific part where you felt the pacing got a bit
slow or boring?

Sarahh1h

I'm glad you asked! Honestly, I didn't find any part boring. Since it was the first chapter, I thought the pacing was appropriate because it was introducing the world, the characters, and the rules that readers need to understand.If I had to mention one thing, there were a few moments where I slowed down to absorb all the information, but I wouldn't call that a negative.For a first chapter, it definitely made me curious about what happens next, which is always a good sign,when you are willing to write a new story?@Aergia,

@Sarahh1h, The next chapter is already scheduled to go live
tomorrow at 4:00 PM.
I appreciate your feedback regarding the pacing. I'm glad the information flow didn't feel like a drag despite the necessary setup for the
world and its rules.
