@sage.the.author: Writing complicated worlds is definitely cool and helps your fantasy worlds feel more full and alive, but it can also be a time-killer. Writing the story and the characters of your world always takes precedence (especially at the start of your book). Your book’s character’s drive the journey and pacing of your story. Make sure to focus a lot of attention into ensuring that your readers understand your character’s desires and how they’re intertwined with the world you’re crafting. #writing #writertok #author #writingcommunity #writingtips #writingabook #fantasywriter
So it’s ok I started my story with the main dying? 🤔

That's what I do. We get to know Bear. Adventurer, as drunk as he is reliable. And the story quickly picks up. By page 50 we know already enough wb to have a good Picture of the world

The start of my series in a nutshell: a king who’s kingdom is on the verge of collapsing, so as a final effort, they decided to have their grand mage attempt to perform a forbidden summoning spell to conjure up either disaster, a monster, a hero to save the kingdom in its most dire and desperate state, but little did they know, a certain god of chaos decided to interfere with the summoning ritual, and thus a far future version of earth is summoned into the world of magic by accident.

So please correct me if anything is wrong.So the first focus on the character to hook the audience so they care about them. then Find ways to integrate the lore correctly my only question is what is a good way to explain what happened besides Flashbacks

I made a quick fable prologe that explains everything that needed to be known about Astraia.
If you can make your prologe three pages.
Short,Sweet, to the point.
Give the bare bones world building there and make sure your world building is completely tied to your story.
Don't tell us there's a hallway of endless doors where each door takes you to a new land unless the whole book takes place in that hallway and each chapter is about a new land.

Imo the lore is brilliant to have for yourself but the main focus should always be the story, I don't want to read about the history unless I actually like it not to be rude

Big question! Sooner enough I wanted to be an artist and make my own animations and stuff and I wanna take your advice and ask, what’s the best thing to do first as a writer and starting a story if your aiming to be a comic/manga writer?

What if let’s say chapter 3 is when it starts to build up, and there is a lot of crucial information that the reader must know to understand what’s going on. Is it then possible to explain a lot of it in the first 2 chapters in different ways so that it’s not just a list?

I used the two gods to introduce the key players in the story before I went into the specifics of the characters
