The hardest you’ve cringed rewriting an old work?

[AKnightWithaKnife]

Upon recovering my 10 year old rp account, I was mortified to discover my writing didn't improve at all since then.

what’s rp?

what’s rp?

roleplaying, here meaning like play by post collaborative storywriting when players take turns describing what their characters do.

Bro you haven’t read something on webnovel huh ?

I have.
Like I said, I just change the sentence in my mind as I read. Though, if it’s too bad-written, then it will get quite exhausting. I’ll quit then.

That will be a hard question.

Where should I start, my non-existent grammar, or horrible spelling mistakes?

I won't even talk about sentence structure.

But there was one single thing worse than all. One cringe thing that will rule all the cringe things.

I was trying to write a hardcore serious character by making him swear or go into rage a lot.

Not only that, slangs and words like "Yeet" were commonly used in the story.

I mean, I was trying to write a story about, what if a person who already mastered survival, combat, and the art of war.

But with the twist of being alien to the concept of fantasy.

Thankfully, I managed to settle on (actually I am still rewriting the whole thing.) a much less edgy character, and dialogue that fits the character.

I wonder after six months or so I will look back into my writing and say "What drugs did I use?" Because it will be the third time I will be saying that.

That’s what I do with machine translations
