August 19th, 2017 3:31 PMAisuI don't think it's a bad trope, at least not to be avoided like the plague. Legendaries and the myths surrounding them are kind of like fairy tale fodder. But it's cool your idea is outside of your comfort zone; imo anyway, that's the best thing an author can do, venture outside of what they're usually writing.

I just had a fantastic idea for a story that ventures into something I would normally not consider, but I got inspired by a story in a similar vein that went in a completely different direction. I think I'll start working on it... which may be a bad idea given the fact I'm already working on two, but we'll see.

August 18th, 2017 3:41 PMAisuI've noticed all my Pokemon stories have this particular theme where there's two mukty protagonists that initially hate each other and 'insert something wrong with the legendary pokemon here'

July 15th, 2017 7:34 PMBardothrenTrue. I'm not sure what character I'd say I'm best at writing... but it might be fun to pair a stuck-up, highly logical intellectual with a trickster just out for laughs. The logical entity keeps trying to manipulate the trickster only to find that it cannot comprehend the other, while the trickster keeps trying to get a rise out of the logical entity but never quite manages to get the desired reaction.

July 15th, 2017 7:00 PMAisuC'mon Bardo, if there's anything I'm good at writing, it's a snarky secondary main.

July 8th, 2017 11:51 AMBardothrenHmm... if we're comparing openings, then I'd say Revolution starts stronger. Reyes has more bite as a character, and the background starts interesting right away, rather than waiting for the end of the chapter to drop the 'oh muk' moment. And while the battle with Red is fun, there isn't a lot of tension behind it, since there's no buildup to it. Revolution has some buildup through the dialogue and description of the rebels. It's hard to say which is better since they're both good, but Revolution wins out by building tension from the get-go.
Aside from that, there's no telling, since it's so early. My advice is that your main character needs someone to balance him out. He's very calculating and cold, and if he was paired with someone hot-tempered, caring, unhinged, cowardly, and/or stubborn, it could make for interesting character dynamics. Also, make sure to keep an eye on the tension, make sure to wind it up and let it loosen up periodically so the reader stays interested. -

-
July 7th, 2017 5:57 PMBardothren...busted. Yeah, I read it, and I thought it was quite good so far. I haven't posted a review yet, because I was short on time when I read it.
