[PI] MEGA GOD - FEB CONTEST | Hi! This kind of story is not really my thing, but people into super-villainous, unsympathetic protagonists would probably like it.
I know you noted below that Sera is more powerful than the rest of the gods, but I did question how easily he was able to dispense with them. With the protagonist being so awesomely unki... | 2 | 0 | 17 | 15,071 |
[PI] MEGA GOD - FEB CONTEST | Hello! I liked the writing style and I think the story flowed very well. I didn't really like Sera very much, which I enjoyed. I appreciated that he had no redeeming qualities and there were no qualms in the story about this fact.
My only comment would be that the resolution seemed very abrupt. I'm definitely glad tha... | 2 | 0 | 17 | 15,072 |
[PI] MEGA GOD - FEB CONTEST | I appreciate the uncompromising portrayal of a completely fucked up protagonist. The story has a few problems though, the climax of Sera finally getting what he wants is just glossed over pretty quickly, and the ending comes completely out of nowhere.
I enjoyed it enough to finish though, and I hope you carry on writi... | 1 | 0 | 17 | 15,073 |

I realized that I was now holding the lamp as far away from myself as possible, as if it were somehow the source of future ill events instead of the 8 foot tall mythical creature facing me.

Seriously, I really want you to tell me what you do and do not like (and why), so I can get better. | The biggest criticism I can give, which is really one of the most universal, is to practice the idea of "show, don't tell."
