Wow, fiction is different than technical. In technical, you need to write how the system works, extra details are useless. We need facts. Therefore, it would be easier to write - Billy went to the store, bought soda, it was spoiled. I went around the corner to relieve myself. But he was robbed.
But in fiction it is necessary to describe the store, then the region where he lives, the state of people, a lot - a lot of extra words that turn out to be superfluous, and they describe the world inside the novel, the world of a person, himself.
Oh, damn, how complicated it is. Still need to be able to describe in such a way that it is interesting, useful and not boring and boring.
But with the color of the eyes, I don’t understand at all why you need to know what the hero has - emerald eyes or black? If the color does not give any magical or superpower, then what is the use of it? His hair was black, his eyes were black, he was dark-skinned. So what? As a reader, this does not tell me anything. He was handsome, and to hell with him that he was handsome. If the main thing in the novel is the search for treasures, not a romantic relationship.
As we were told two things - write to the fool, write easier. The first message led to the fact that the usual action, which could be described in 30 words, had to be described in 300 words. Fiction seems to be similar to this statement. Normal action: Bill bought soda - poisoned - went easier - turned around the corner - he was robbed. And in fiction you have to - give a description of things in the store, how the store looked, customers and the owner of the store - the type of soda - how Bill was poisoned - what was the corner of the house, who robbed him, how he was robbed.
There is something to think about. Thanks.
