Rotblossom Rose (Links & Thoughts)

Here is the final collection of links to my rough draft, serial story of grim vengeance. It is brutal and harsh, but, I think, uplifting in the end.

The story follows Rose, nicknamed Rotblossom, because cruelty, as she seeks revenge for the deaths of her Son, Daughter, and Husband, watches over her last remaining kin, and makes her fortune in the harsh, but treasure-filled Depths under the city called The Scab.

Read on, if you wish, just be warned that is based on those crude 80’s revenge films where the family gets killed and raped, and is kinda bloody in places.

For those of you who have read it, you can find my thoughts, in brief far down below.

Some thoughts

I like the world, but I could have used more time for little details like the coilsword. this is evident to readers as I change the name for things partway through.
As much as I liked the world, I wonder if this would have made a better pirate story. Maybe I just want to write a pirate story.
The big reveal with The Spider and the clones and the Syndicate was somewhat according to plan, but I am not certain that it was clear to the reader.
I am happy with the end of the tale.
“give the depths their due” is a great line. I am also pleased with “undulating incongruity”
I wonder if these stories would do well on Patreon. Certainly, if they did it might be a good place to get some feedback.
