>>279>It seems redundant that the new Essentias.Actually, no, because there are some Noble Essentias whose parents already taught them how it works, and orphans who have no idea about the whole thing.
Do you think I should add a sentence to explain that?
>Let the story breathHalf of what you read in Chapter 3 was supposed to happen during their second lesson in Chapter 6. However, I felt the necessity to give some red meat to the reader.
Chapters 4, 5, and the second half of 6 are about letting the story and its characters breathe.
>Your rewritingI've noticed your comments. Do you remember Chapter 1 and Jacques' comment about the small window? It was supposed to be a reference. Should I make it clearer?
Also, the building is more than 30 floors tall. Hence, a huge basilica would only reach about half its height at most. So if Jacques looks down, his sight would pose itself onto the stained glass of the church.
I have also noticed you removed "Golden Bull," which makes sense to improve the sentence. However, there's a reason I capitalized that term—it's not a metaphor, but something that concretely exists in my setting.
Nevertheless, youredits are well done I wish I could do that as automatically as you do.
>12 holy heroesYou're right. My story is the main sequel to theirs.
The dumbest example I can give is Naruto and Boruto. You know, Naruto is the main story, while Boruto is the sequel taking place X years later.
My book, despite being set almost two thousand years later, is the continuation of an unreleased series that exists only in my head.
Hence, an introduction of the ex-protagonists is a must and vital for the project as a whole.
Thanks, anon, for your advice.
I think you should really read the second half of the prologue to see if, despite the heavy introduction, it still flows, or if I should swap some things around to make it easier to digest.
I’ll post it this evening or tomorrow.
