Well, I started writing around 2015, but I wouldn't consider those "serious" writing since it's just short blurbs for reddit cyoas. The first time I actually tried writing a novel was near the end of 2019 when my friend shared his idea. Looking back at my work, I find it bloody cringe, like a typical edgy mc who has a sad backstory and acts like an asshole for no reason. I find it boring too, the grammar and spelling is bearable but boi, the prose. I had an entire 3k word chapter dedicated to cooking.a.fucking.rabbit. The walls of text hurt my eyes too. I am glad I never actually published that story.
Though, it iiis a gender bender, so i might consider rewriting it since I find the premise mildly interesting, though now not that unique to the platform(basically 'save and load')
I was going to post a part of it here, but I didn't have the will, it felt like reading a trashy GB LitRPG isekai.
As for improvements, I think I improved quite a bit, most notably I'm a lot less horny(wait is that an improvement?)
