In the year 10687, in the land of Equestria, a young dark gray, dragon with purple eyes, named Merith, wanted to be different from the rest of his kind. But not to the extreme of no longer being considered a Dragon.

So he embarked on a journey to find the land beyond the land he knew as home, and this is his story.

tags and stuff will be added in on the go

What is this?

Interesting premise, shite execution. Get three editors and pre-readers, please, if you want to improve your storytelling skills.

I tried, I honestly did, but I cannot.

The grammatical errors are so prevalent that it makes it very hard to read without the distraction. Secondly, your characters are so uninteresting that I had no feeling for them. Thirdly, you offer very little in any explanation on what is going on. You haven't really fleshed out the scene to paint a mental image. Your pacing is so absurdly fast that I am just confused on what is going on. This also falls under your chapter lengths. They are so short that it is to the point that you cannot even build immersion. A recommended chapter length is two thousand words or more. This makes it a worth while venture for your readers.

My recommendations are: find an editor and proof-reader for your grammatical errors. Work on fleshing your characters, scenes, and world out so that a reader can relate or at least understand them. Slow your story down and take your time with it—a rushed story is never liked.

I'll link you a few groups that might help, be willing to accept their suggestions for help. Trust me, the author alone cannot write a great piece of literature.

Overly Extensive Editors
Looking for Editors
School for New Writers

I hope this helps.

If I'm going to be brutally honest, that describes this entire story so far pretty well.

You need to work on increasing the lengths of your chapters, a general rule of thumb is to aim for a minimum of 1'000 words per chapter.

You should probably get an editor/proofreader (or multiple, the more the merrier) to fix the grammar, and spelling, because that's something this story fails to deliver in.

I'd also like to point out that your Original Character protagonist isn't very interesting. He's flat, uninspired, probably a bit overpowered and just generally comes off as a Gary Stu self-insert. When creating original characters, it's important to give them traits, quirks, personalities and just a general depth to make them more interesting. It's also very important to give them weaknesses and faults that they can work to overcome. I can recommend Googling it as well as checking out blogs made by the user Viking ZX, for example you can check out this one, or perhaps this one, or maybe this one.

But as it stands right now, I'd say scrap it, go back to the drawing board and try to rewrite it into something different.

You need a proofreader. This has potential but, I'm going to be honest. It needs editing.
