Please tell me your opinions so I could improve my writing skills, please? And also could you tell me what you think of the first chapter from vol1 I would greatly appreciate it. It would help me think of what direction should I take this story.

    Infinity619 I think you shouldn’t use OCD since it trivializes the struggles of people who have that mental illness. Care and attention must be given when handling those terms. Instead, you can use the term “fastidious.” It’s kind of the same thing with what you’re trying to say but doesn’t refer to a mental illness so it’s better.

      In my opinion, something like fastiduous doesn't spark me at all. As a reader, I look at that word and say "I don't know what that means. Not interested."

      OCD, on the other hand, I am interested. How would someone who is obsessed with perfection deal with being isekaid? Etc. My brother has OCD, and he couldn't care less if other people use the term. It's not offensive in the least, at least according to him.

        Yeah was my thoughts as well "The Fastidious Otaku" just doesn't speak well to a general audience in my thoughts. So yeah not better in the slightest.

        While no one wants to make light of a serious illness, general populace are more prone to relate the activity to OCD than being fastidious... which just sounds pretentious. Kinda sad if as an author you are being advised to pussy foot around serious matters cause some snowflake might read into it too much.

          I think you described the imaginary world of Kawena in such an exciting way. The description is very well-written and intriguing, and it is interesting to know what elves, beastmen and mermaids are in this world. I hope that important characters will be among them.
          Let's move on to Amora. I liked her description and it is interesting to learn more about her relationship with the so-called old billionaire. I want to know more about Amor's mental state, it's written that she has some disorder, but which one? I'm interested because I've been reading a lot about mental health lately and I'm getting deeper. I found many articles on this topic on the https://writingbros.com/essay-examples/anxiety/ , and I want to say that there is a lot of interesting information and researches. They could help describe Amora's condition or actions, so I recommend looking.
          In general, I like the way you write, I want to see the book's continuation and learn more about the world of Kawena and Amora's character.
