Ooh, the second half of the chapter is just as good :)! I like how you put in an explanation of the castle and the way the country works WHERE IT'S RELEVANT, so that we know what's going on but it doesn't really interrupt the story flow. I think I have trouble with that (possibly because I get really deeply inside my characters' heads, so I mostly only write what they're thinking or experiencing). One question (I could probably look this up but I'm lazy XD and I might not find an answer easily), is the general setup of Vorpalith Castle the way a lot of medieval castles were set up, with a lot of people aside from the lord's family living inside it, or is that all your imagination? I'm not sure if I asked that in an understandable way... XD

Just the name Draven sounds evil! I'm scared of him now :D

Aww thank you! I'm really glad to hear that, as I really wanted to make sure it wasn't just an info dump :) (Hmm yeah that could be a lot harder, I think it's easier writing this kind of thing in third-person POV). Haha I don't mind being asked any questions lol! Yeah so a lot of medieval countries were set up that way definitely, but I don't think quite to the extent I've got in my book :)

Haha thanks! I like giving my bad characters evil-sounding names lol!! XD

I don't really have any sort of practice knowing whether something is an info dump or not, but it didn't seem that way to me :) (I do mostly write in third person, just the kind of third person where you don't really see or hear anything the character doesn't, if that makes sense :)) Okay, thanks! That will probably be (maybe extremely) helpful; most of what I write is medieval-ish fantasy and I kind of have trouble with castle setups :)

Just out of curiosity, what's the most evil name you've ever come up with?

Ok great! :) (Ok yeah that makes sense :)) You're welcome!! Ooh cool! I love medieval fantasy! You'll have to tell me more about your WIP on CEW!! 🤩

Hmm, that's a hard question lol! I don't know what the MOST evil one is, but a few evil ones I've used/am using are Draven, Thrallan, Vornak, Rilth, and others I can't remember lol XD What about you?

Those are some good names! (I wanna know about them I wanna know about them XD) I'm not sure I've actually made up many evil sounding names... maybe the best is Randar, though that one's a little complicated. (Trying to decide if I should say more... :D) Oh, on second thought it might be Sahketar. I'm not sure how evil it actually sounds, but it kind of gives me the shivers because of the person it goes with. It means 'impostor' in Turkish ;)

Thanks! (Haha thanks XD) Ooh I really like both Randar and Sahketar!! They're really cool, evil names!

Thanks! Randar is a little complicated because he's kind of both a really evil guy and a really lovable scatterbrained old man... that probably sounds like a really weird character, but I don't think he is XD
