This might sound crazy, but I wish this had been epistolary, ie, a letter or diary entry. My only complaint is that I sometimes had trouble tracking the chronology of the story, and I think that if it had been a diary or letter, that could have been cleared up. Otherwise, I love a story of a wizard figuring out a solution. This is a great example of "Problem > interesting solution", which obviously backfires given the theme.
Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to keep the energy of the piece, which I find really difficult in short episodes, hence the prose. I hoped the tenses would do the job...partial success 😁
Excellent story! For once, the well-meaning mage isn't directly undone by his own hubris - he's indirectly undone by his on hubris. ;-)
Thank you so much! Honestly had not considered that way of thinking about it 🤣
Brilliant, my favorite so far! Very clean, very gripping and a great thematic cohesion!
Thank you SO much!
this story was really good. I enjoyed the protagonist and their stream of consciousness.
Thank you! I had fun writing this in the first person (escapism is great)!
I like the theme of this story. Well done
Thank you!
