I gotta get a collection of this story together....without your commentary, I'd have no idea what the hell is going on.

Start at the beginning. There's minor disconnects but it all comes together if you keep reading.

Okay, since this is the second time you've said this I'll explain in a little more detail this second time around.

Glory isn't meant to be read in bites and the story does suffer for being published like this. But I have a DAILY comic I work on over at https://overlordcomic.com/ so Glory updates as fast as I am capable of updating it. I know a more rapid schedule would help, but linework lady and I only have so much time in the day. It is what it is.

I also try not to spoon feed my readers which DOES mean confusion. Each page isn't meant to be self-explanatory anymore than if you grab a novel and read a random page from it you'll suddenly understand the entire novel, reading a chapter will make it make more sense, but you really need to see the whole thing. Heck, I'll even give away that the Dragon Pass thing mentioned on this page actually ties a little into the endgame part of the story which might hit when I'm in my sixties, and I've been fifty for about two months now. I have a plot bible that's not quite a hundred pages but growing every day with faction info, geography info, NPC info, history, and lore.

Eventually a person gets tired of popping popcorn and feeding people candy. I want to tell an epic story about an actual good fighting an actual evil and not all of this nihilistic "there is no good or evil!" bullshit that permeates every story these days. I want to tell a story with actual heroes who are good people, maybe with feet of clay and faults, but not the corruptible "just as bad as the villains" hero types that we see where you look from one to the other and can see very little difference between the two.

Or worse, it's all old hat and predictable and almost feels like someone just got a ton of fantasy tropes, jumbled them up, and grabbed them at random to make rehashed stories but with 'edgy' twists that are just more nihilism and more of the same because the edge's been used so much it's dull. Oh look, she's a lesbian, that's.... new. Oh look, the only actually good character was killed. Oh look, the good guys were actually horrible oppressors that somehow they hid up until this moment.

I've had people show me stories and can't tell me anything about the world geography the characters are on because they couldn't be bothered to think about that. They can't tell me history of the world they brag about because they never developed it. They can't explain basic mechanics of some of their magic systems and things because "special effects go burr!" The stories are all just "Look at my cool character win at everything!" because that's all a lot of comic stories all these days, people made a character that they like and just have stories showing how they constantly win and can never do wrong except when it's properly dramatic and angstful for character pity points. I was fine with this when I was a kid. Now I want more and since I can't find it, I'm making it.

Media sucks these days because there are no great stories. I don't claim to be a great storyteller, but I'm going to try my best.

Well to me you are a great storyteller, and I've had no problem whatsoever following along with it. I've had a couple of questions here and there (which you answered admirably), but those were lore-related and borne of curiosity and not confusion. You're writing a novel here, and it seems Karno thinks you're writing a Bazooka Joe comic. It's like he forgets what happens between pages and each page is something completely new, so it's confusing to him because the story doesn't wrap up in one page.

Don't mind him, everyone else can follow along just fine.

Sweetheart, thank you so much for this. I try not to write like my readers are stupid. I know some things don't make full sense right now because folks are talking about stuff and places that we'll see in the future, but the way to fix that is patience, not spoon feeding. Thank you for the self confidence boost I really needed.

You're welcome, Gen. Honestly, I thought everyone knew that this is how stories are written. Even I know this, and I'm a horrible writer. xD Anyone that reads books would know that this is how stories are written. You need to set the story up, preferably over a long period of time to have a bigger impact, both emotionally and intellectually, so that way the pay off at the end is much bigger (whether it ends on an epic scene, an emotional one, or just a "Whew! Glad that's over!" scene). You can't do that in just one page. If you try it just comes across as a jumbled mess, with way too many things crammed into too small of a space.

Even comic strips that, by design, are only a few panels long, still have an over-arching story that ties everything together. The authors may just be giving you glimpses into that world, but it's still a world.

Anyway, I'm rambling, so I'll just say I love the comic Gen, and please ignore the nay-sayers. You're doing a wonderful job!

Wow! Thank you for the long answer. And my apologies if it looked like I was criticizing you. I post a weekly page of MY comics, and pretty much everything you said can be applied to me, also. You ARE doing great work - my hat's off to you. Carry on!
