A fun battle! It was a little bit of a slog in the middle, probably just because its very literal, tactical descriptions- but overall the writing was great and I wish we could had more personal interactions with some of the elves. Not sure if surrendering to demons is ever a better alternative than death but it sure would make an interesting sequel, haha.
I like this. Plan: Attack bad guy A. New Plan: Attack Bad guy B alongside Bad guy A
Being completely honest as this is a competition, this feels incomplete. I understand the story, but I feel there was no plan. It was just a fight with an unexpected enemy. There was no planning step and the hole battle was chaotic and impulsive, which is good for a battle, but bad for a plan. Also next time feel free to be more descriptive. How did the battle field sound? Did the guns kick like a mule or was he able to keep control? Next time feel free to give the MC a few traits of their own. It felt a little like generic solder fighting a battle, which is fine but hard to make a connection to. I was able to understand the flow of the story but being honest nothing stood out or grabbed me. Please don't take this personal and continue to write and improve.
Clear, concise, and tightly written. This was a fun read that I could totally visualize as a tabletop event.
