@NyankoNightshade it's okay if you feel like your stories are cliché, i felt the same way with eternal kings like two years ago, the important thing is to not give up on your work and keep polishing it and make it better than how it was before everytime
and most important thing is "Do not write for others" write for yourself and only to satisfy your artistic Ego, a real artist is an Egoist when it comes to his art, if you write only to please yourself you'll end up making an original and authentic masterpiece naturally
just keep going and also take the time to reflect on how much you grew as a writer, feel proud of what you have gone through, but don't feel satisfied yet, writing is a journey that never ends, and like knowledge, you must stay hungry like a mad predator to learn more and attain your "Blossom" (How i call the state where you feel like you mastered your craft)
