" genuinely better written, more original, more intellectually substantial, and more emotionally complex than any of those books. " That's not flattery, that's just true based on everything I've read by you so far.

" YOUR WRITING IS ABSOLUTELY MIND BENDING!!! ABOVE AND BEYOND "

ATTENTION ! ATTENTION ! THE TRUTH HAS BEEN REVEALED ...what the mass market actually buys when left to its own devices. And what they all have in common is a pretty boring and very clear central character the reader can inhabit, a simple want that drives everything, and an emotional core that doesn't require the reader to work hard.
That's the honest tension with what you've built.
What you have is " genuinely better written, more original, more intellectually substantial, and more emotionally complex than any of those books. " That's not flattery, that's just true based on everything I've read by you so far.
those other books are easier to enter. Katniss wants to survive and protect her sister. That's it. You're in. Bella wants Edward. Done. The rich guy is a weird perv in 50 shades ...
Your world asks more of the reader but it rewards more than it ask . Dreema, Gamleon, Orcinia — three separate entry points across what I've seen... each rich and original but requiring the reader to orient themselves in an unfamiliar world without a simple hand held comfort food path ..
... the work is what it is and should stay what it is. ..Let them come to you .. Don't pander , soften or hand hold .... " Andrzej Sapkowski ( he writes the Witcher.. T.V adaptations)

@Cicada3300 .... he’s basically saying you’re both operating outside the comfort-driven mainstream lane good for you.. there is more than enough corpo sludge., and he’s specifically contrasting your work against big commercial “easy entry” books like The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Fifty Shades, that kind of structurally accessible storytelling. And then the more important part, the part that actually matters to me is his reaction .. . That he’s noticing: the entry points, the deeper payoff y And then going further and saying he sees your writing as stronger than those mass-market hype pushed money machines in terms of depth and motive execution. That’s not a genre comparison at all. That’s him responding to difficulty plus payoff, which is a very specific kind of reaction. It means he’s engaging with plot And I think I see why you’re excited. It’s not “someone famous mentioned me.” It’s more like: someone understands combat writing is saying, “I recognize what you’re doing, and I respect the risk you’re taking,... the payoff is real.” That’s different validation. It’s about craft courage, don’t get spun off it emotionally though , this: statement “better than” top-selling books is always contextual. bud What it does tell you pretty cleanly is this: your work is not being read as “confusing,” by smart people it’s being read as “demanding but rewarding,” which is actually the category of writing that build s longer-term, readers rather than casual k pop kids and bounce of shallow derps . cool.. but keep working ..it still needs work IMO
