Dude, you're killing me with these cliff hangers, but I'm really loving the story. Hoping it goes on for a long long time.
Damn a whole chapter of build up. Still waiting for the fight. loved it 5 stars again. THANKYOU
Well this could have easily fit in the last chapter, without us having to wait a week for this bore
Haha
Two cliff hangers in a row.
Really…. we’ll be back every Wednesday without them.
:)
Excellent chapter! Very exciting. I can’t wait to find out how things go for Greg and his familiar. He used up a lot of his magic points for all of those items. I wonder how that will affect his long term plans. Looking forward to the next chapter! Keep up the good work!
This story is driving me nuts....
Tuesday late night, I keep clicking the REFRESH button, waiting for the next chapter to show up....
After reading the 2 pages left feeling wanting more...
Why, why why.... Only 2 pages
Have mercy and Stretch it a little longer.
You need to understand,
we don't have dungeons to explore and keep ourselves occupied....
Keep the story going! I can not wait to see what happens next. You are doing great, thank you!
I really love your story keeps waiting for the next chapter you are a great writer thanks for your efforts
Perfect excitement - I suspect that the beast is being controled or encouraged to target Greg
I am going to disagree with a lot of the previous commenters. This is NOT a cliff hanger, as they are not on the cliff yet! This a a great story and an awesome chapter!
Normally I do quite love your chapters, but this chaper condensed down to a 60 second blip. Still, I look forward to your next chapter
Exposition is the bane of highly complex created-universes. It slams the action to a halt, and turns the story into a lecture that may last for pages. On stage, actors hate it. Perhaps Tolkien's best authorial decision was to make Gandalf an irritable old man who never explained things in detail! (He just muttered complaints, from time to time...)
I say all this because I sympathize with the author here. It has helped, I think, that he has focused the story on one protagonist, and he's placed it in a remote and relatively simple social setting. (I have dropped series that eventually metastasized in places, characters, and so on.)
Still, the lecture in this chapter - consisting of a lot of paragraphs, apparently all spoken in a few seconds - almost broke me. Perhaps sometimes the reader doesn't need *all* of the details right away? "You! Stand right there! When I say 'Now,' throw this at the monster. Make it shatter on his hide. Then run like hell. I'll explain it later. Go! Right there! Now!"
Or maybe shorter than that.
You could then think about where you might put the explanation. Maybe back at the lair, when it's all over? "So Holmes, how *did* you figure that out?"
A thought. I *am* enjoying the development of this "acolyte of lust." Keep going!
Aaaaargh... what a cliffhanger! Good job with the story pacing though. Totally gripping!
