Reviews
Storygames
You're a man out for blood until it finally goes too far and you attract the wrong kind of attention. Now with only three days left to live, your powers stripped and your sanity restored, it's time to find out if you can redeem yourself in the short time you have left. Or even if you can perhaps find a way out from under the guillotine hanging over your head.
Author's note:
This is a story for EndMaster's Prompt Contest 4.
The prompt was, "A story about redemption of past misdeeds. (As if it needs to be said, you can't redeem a pedo)"
There are a total of four epilogues, with one being a "true" ending. It's not said which is the true ending, but it should be fairly obvious. Every choice is a new branch. There is no rebranching or stats, just a classic cave of time story.
Comments are obviously the most treasured thing in the world, even if it's just a favorite part or just a list of why this is the worst story in the world.
This is a story about an artificer making his way through the world. Making choices who shape who he is and who he will become. With even his motives shifting based on his choices.
Authors Note:
This is an entry for EndMaster's prompt contest.
The prompt was, "This story’s protagonist is an artificer, magical blacksmith, or creator of magical weapons. You can translate this prompt to a sci-fi equivalent if you want."
I managed to make this story into a complete product with all the content I wanted in the time given, but I didn't have time to polish the prose much. Please leave any feedback you have. And just for fun make sure to include which of the nine epilogues you got or your favorite if you read multiple.
This story is about a paladin who is on a quest to investigate an unkown evil out west, joined by a lighthearted mercanary.
Authors note: This story was made in a few days for Corgi's Lords of the land 2 contest. Not really proud of it, but it is what it is. Please leave any feedback you have in the reviews because while I know time could've improved the prose, the plot seems to be lacking something that I'm not sure of.

Classics with the Theme of Achieving Greatness on 6/29/2025 11:04:01 AMThis morning it also occurred to me that Hamilton fits this theme really well too. It doesn't need to be painted positively, but I'd like the protagonist to be the embodiment of it. Macbeth might be sort of what I'm looking for, though I haven't read it.
I was reading Steven King's On Writing and he talked about how most authors use the same couple of themes over and over, because for him he's defining theme as "the reason for writing the story" and the main thing being explored, and he says that for him there's only a few kinds of these themes that are powerful enough to power entire novels. Which is really interesting to me, because it makes a lot of sense. I really like stories exploring this message, and Hamilton might be the best example I can come up with? I'm just surprised it isn't done more, especially in classics since their whole thing is exploring profound ideas.

I do actually really like Breaking Bad and BCS, they do fit this really well. Eternal is really good. Though what I'm shocked about is I can't name any classics with this theme, it feels like it'd be really common.

I vote for Option 1, I like the idea of having a lot of space to form our empire before we start crushing our enemies.

So I think the thing that makes a classic a classic is that it deals with a profound theme. But I can't really recall any where the thing that's explored is the journey to achieve greatness and the pitfalls that come with it. The sacrifices that might have to be made. Even if the message of the book is critical to this mindset, for example a book where the message is that you should enjoy the simple things in life.
I think the Queen's Gambit TV show is close to the idea I'm trying to express? I also feel like this idea is close to a coming of age story, but not quite. I'm not familar enough with the classics, but I'd like to know of any kind of centered around this idea. I read The Contender in middle school and that was a really great book that deals with this idea as well.

Which is crazy considering I would've loved to be paired with Shadowdrake and the only person in this entire contest I was praying I wouldn't get paired with is ben.

Yeah, I really like the design of the contest because it encourages you to read whatever you want and lets me not feel like I should minmax it, since the way it's set up is really fair in that respect.

I don't know if this is helpful information to release to the public, but I figured I might as well since I was autistic enough to go combing through storygames to find it.
Rating Length Benchmarks:
1-2: 1000, could be 1500
2-3: 5000
3-4: 10000
4-5 15000
5-6: 24000
6-7: 75000
7-8: Anywhere in between 176000 - 307000
7-8 is unknowable since the longest 7 game is 176000 and the shortest 8 game is 307000. Or you could probably just look through the javascript file with inspect element for it, idk. The main funny one to me is 5-6 is definitely 24000, not 25000 like you'd expect.

Nah, I flew back at the start of May. It was a government scholarship lasting until then, but as far as colleges are concerned it was a gap year. So I start college in August.

Thanks, I've been okay. Likewise.

I think you're hallucinating personally.
