《Feral Shadows》Author Note
Advertisement
Hello!
So, yes! I am alive, and so is my writing... kinda. It's semi-Frankenstein at the moment. Needs a bit of lightning to get it going.
A few things I plan to talk about right quick -
1. Where the hell I've been
2. Concerns from comments about certain aspects of the book so far
3. Future of the book
Where the hell I've been! TL;DR - Selling a house/moving and (still) scrambling to find gainful employment, accompanied by a family trip out of state. Lots of stuff going on that's been inhibiting writing beyond my normal motivational problems.
Concerns from comments (this is my wording, not theirs) about certain aspects of my writing so far. This might get a little shpeely/ranty but I'll try to keep it reigned in.
Okay, I'm sure many have noticed that I try to keep things as semi realistic as possible while providing a good amount of detail to give a clear picture of the story as it's progressing. There's been a lot of... criticism I think would be the best word, towards certain aspects of my book that are less-than-realistic in the eyes of some readers. This is addressed to pretty much every single one of those concerns. This is still a fantasy book! Keep that in mind! There will be fantastical, reality breaking things that will happen! I do a hell of a lot of research for a lot of the details I add in, so if it's something that seems reality breaking assume I did it on purpose until I say otherwise. I PROMISE THERE WILL BE ANSWERS FOR EVERYTHING! Just not soon. But they exist! I swear! If we get into (and I want to emphasize this very, very clearly) BOOK THREE and there are still plotholes or details that seem glaringly disappointing. I will then take any and all criticism and attempt to fix it if it's broke.

Future moving forward -
I'm not the most consistent writer (obviously), however I want to assure everyone that has made it this far and enjoys my writing/story that I absolutely, 100% will finish this. It's just going to take a little while until I can get my life a bit more orderly. So don't despair if I disappear as I have for a couple months. I promise, I'll be back.
Until then, thank you everyone for reading! If you enjoy my work, please comment, favorite, review, rate, etc. If you hate my work and managed to get this far, if you leave me a one star or two star rating without a review about why you dislike it
I will find you.
Thanks!

Edit: about to break the 50k word milestone woo!

Those Zombies Again
One day Sam wakes up in a world full of zombies and tries to survive.PSFirst of all i would not recommend this novel if you haven't read like hundred of novels already. Its pretty weird and depressing novel.This story is told almost completely from MC point of view. Third person.MC is a pretty ugly random guy with different psychological problems. He is antisocial and limited person.Lore - Since MC is limited and barely interested in people or just surroundings, you will get pretty limited descriptions on stuff, it was meant to be like that.Characters - Obviously for the same reason, you will not see much characters, usually you wont get their description or even names.Fights - I personally hate those fights in novels which take like few chapters to describe some shitty encounters. For example MC is making his "move" and then you get half chapter of description of his thoughts and the ways his face is looking, and the way like his opponent surprised and the way crowd is reacting and so on. I really hate all that shit so fights in this novel will be described not that often, only if an equal or a new opponent, and only in a strict and straightforward way, no bullshit.Now this novel is not exactly fantasy, its more like grim realistic-fantasy.But i will have to explain what i mean. Lets take rape in most novels as an example. Usually MC will be justified to rape a girl one way or another. Common example is aphrodisiac. Or the girl were trying to kill him so he had to "punish" her. Or she just happened to jump on his thing and then after rape she become his girlfriend etc, Those are examples of "fan service" in novel. So MC would be justified and readers woun't feel too uncomfortable to read something like that.So there is no "fan service" in this novel, like at all. You will have to read some stuff that will make you feel uncomfortable and you woun't like it.Common sense also means that there is barely gonna be any "random" events which MC is gonna be part of. No treasures and superpowers he founds because he is "special". He will not meet antagonists on his way.This novels world will not spin around MC in any way. He will usually sit in his deep cave and no one around will give a damn about him or even know of his existence.So this novel is not for you to have fun and enjoy reading. Not to make you feel comfortable, satisfied or happy.Its probably the opposite.There are some standards which novel usually sticks to in order to become popular. Obviously i did not meet those standards at all.
