I would like to personally thank everyone who has read this so far and like to say the next chapter is being worked on and I'd will be out as soon as I believe it is ready. Thank you for your time.

congratulations your very first fic... Which I think is doing good so far. I like it so far.

Always great to see new authors! Since you’re also looking for constructive criticism I will try my best to explain why I sorta lost interest in this first chapter.

When it came to your descriptive writing, building the visuals and scenery I felt like you were pretty good for your first story. Honestly I’d even say it was comfortably above average.

Where I felt like this first chapter lacked was the dialogue. Right off the bat I felt uncomfortable with the way our two characters spoke to each other. Kinda gave the same vibes you get from a play script, as if the two were reciting their lines rather then having a conversation.

For example

"Fine, but why don't you seem to be afraid of me? Every other pony I've met so far has fainted or screamed bloody murder."

Visually when I picture this scene our MC already seems a little awkward in the way he talks. I’d figure a more appropriate response while keeping the same purpose would go something like, “Not scared of me huh? Must be a weirdo”. Now idk if you want your character to be that way or if you purposely wrote the dialogue the way you did but most lines came off weird to me. It’s a pretty easy fix if you try to put yourself in the characters shoes, imagining what you might say irl if you were put in these situations but once again idk if you wrote it purposely in that way.

Either way for a first story and first chapter this is pretty good. I imagine you’ll be a great author soon enough and hopefully pull me in for your next story.

Thank you for pointing that out for me.

Just a quick note, Thou/Thy/Thine is You/Your/Yours.
So "I see that thou is amused by THY spear" Is basically "I see that you are amused by YOUR spear".
You can just use My/Mine instead.

Ahh thank you for that. I was confused on how to use them properly. Really appreciate the comment as well.

Now that I look at it. It's been one year since I've started this. I really need to get that time management together. Currently working on a story for the 1000 words contest just to see if I can make one in 1000 words. Nearly done with it so its all matter of time now.
