@MirrorMan20 look my friend, i'll be honest, it"@ not uncommon to think that there's some lack of potential when something you're putting yout passion on doesn't get recognize, it happend to me when i wrote my first book, "a way out of Marmolia" which was an original story, i don't remember how many chapters it had, just that onw friend read it without knowing it was me and called it awful, causing that i inmediatly delete the story, and it wasn't till i played Limbus Company that u truly decided to keep writting despite the critics.
I'll tell you this, don't feel bad if your story don't get many reads, cause at the end of the day, most people that come here to read stories, are looking to something related to what they play or like, they rarely look for an original story if it isn't from big authors.
And trust me, i do not force mysekf to read your story, i like the way you write , truly do; my idea of being helpful is to say the truth, as harsh as it may be, but i liked your style.
It's not weird to feel some preassure when what you write doesn'r get the attention that we expected, but if we're only waiting for that attention, it will always come to a point, sooner or later when we don't want to write no more; heck, there were times where i was planning on stop writting "more than just a second chance" cause of it, but i truly got attached to my oc, and that caused for me to keep on going.
Only advice i can give right now, is that you don't have to force yourself to write something you're not passionate about; take your time, and maybe start slow, and maybe make a story about something that you know will get more attention; i mean, most people that came to my story was probably just looking for a new Project Moom fanfic, not necesarily cause my story was to their liking.
You have potential, i really think so, but doubting yourself won't help, if you wanna wrote something, wrire it for you rather than others, sooner or later, you'll see the results.
