The story in question is Cultivation Done Right (https://www.scribblehub.com/series/8659/cultivation-done-right/). I'm aware that people usually open feedback threads when a story is in its beginning, but... I just found out about it, and I wanted to give it a try. I'm not asking any of you to actually read the whole story, but it'd be nice if someone could give a look at the first few chapters (especially the prologue) and give me opinions/suggestions/recommendations.... and, well, feedback, really (grammar, pacing, flow, plot, characterization, style, world-building, foreshadowing, word choice... literally anything, even changes to the synopsis (which I also plan to change soon)). I will rewrite the first few chapters in the future, and I want to offer the readers the best experience I can, so I'd really appreciate it. Of course, if you'd like to talk about the whole story, then I'd really, really appreciate it, but I'm not really expecting that to happen.
Here's the synopsis:
After his universe is accidentally destroyed, a young man gets sent to a parallel universe that seems awfully familiar to those of the cultivation novels he used to read. Faced with the possibility of omnipotence, his inner megalomaniac is awakened, and he decides to use his vast knowledge of cultivation novels to scheme and cheat his way to the top.
I'd just like to add one thing: if you're feeling unsure about it because it's a cultivation novel... well, I must admit my word isn't worth much as I'm the author and clearly biased, but I assure you it isn't like most cultivation stories, for what it's worth. In fact I wrote it precisely because cultivation novels are usually so... well, repetitive, shallow, exaggerated, underwhelming... I could go on and on, really. Do keep in mind that I'm generalizing on purpose here.
