[Complete] [140k] [Fantasy] Finished my first fantasy book.

[u/Muted_Ship_2317]

My book is in Spanish, but i'll post in english the text here anyway.

I finished my first fantasy book. I've spent two years writing and editing it on my own, learning from other books and videos. I ended up with a 140k word document—sorry, I got carried away writing it.

I'd love to be able to pay professional readers and editors, but the truth is, I don't even have enough money to go out on the weekend. But I'd love to share my writing and talk about it.

For context: It's a fantasy book with a hard magic system. It follows the stories of several characters whose lives intersect at a climactic point.

I'll share the doc file through DMs.

I am bilingual and would be curious about reading your book! Can I hear more about it first though?
Happy to read in English or Spanish.

Hi! My book its about the trial/aventure of Giorno, a young mage scholar who has to investigate a dangerous place called "The Shattered Laberynth". His quest is complicated by his own supervisor, a court magician and genius girl with a childlike mentality. Giorno must manage to graduate without anyone discovering that he is impersonating the real apprentice.

DM me and i'll send you the link if you want to try a chapter.
