The synopsis
Hello diary,
These journey entries may be my last entries. The chance is great that I’m going to die soon, and along with me, all existence. My name is Eros, and I am preparing for the final fight to save the existence as we know it. Perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself. You see, my name wasn’t always Eros.
It might be best to start at the beginning, instead of the ending. My name is also Steve. Originally, I ran a bakery. I had a lot of money and my life seemed to be just perfect. That is, until my ex-wife Haley died. Things like that can turn a man sour. But not only that, I felt as if I had a secret hiding within me.
Depression hit me like a hard brick, though it seems so long ago now. A shadow man started to hunt me and things went from bad to worse. An epic journey awaited me, a journey that would not only change me, but would also change the fate of everyone I would meet during my journey. This is my journal entry that details my many adventures. I will call this entry, the chosen one, next door.
P.S. I have learned about many things by now what happened aside from my own journey. I’m adding these interludes to the diary since Clara keeps pressing me to do so. In these interludes, I will tell you a part of the journey from another person’s perspective.
Sounds good, good luck!
I am not sure what to think about it…
Goood
Looks interesting. GL!
nice little game
I really like the cover art and the title font!
Really? Congratz. Go on with this!
This one certainly captured my attention. Good luck with the release of your book.
Just a point: you mean blurb (or teaser, as some might say) or synopsis? Those are different things.
A synopsis is literally a summary. A blurb is the equivalent of a movie trailer.
Thanks for the information, I have been so overworked lately that I mixed it up.
Seems pretty cool and a good idea
not bad. i’m no expert, but it seems good
It’s interesting!
cover of books looks super good, good luck with book
Thank you very much!
It looks interesting. Maybe he should say more about what he’s going to do now and less about his past. Especially since it is a synopsis and it is not where is usually known about the background of the character
Yes, thank you for the feedback, I also realized that, which is why the book begins with a prologue with that in mind instead of starting at chapter 1.
It might bei to much text for the back of a book. Also a little bit more information about what this story is about, would be nice. But the text does awakes my curiosity.
There is a prologue for more of what the book is about, it is a bit of a different approach, as it actually starts at the end, with all the information. As the book unfolds, you will slowly learn how it got there, and why this fight is so important. You get some key details in the prologue, without actually learning too much, along with some confusion that will be solved in book one.
sounds interesting
I really love the cover of the book and this story sounds very interesting! I think it’s unique to tell it in a diary format and have parts with other people’s perspective to freshen it up! I noticed a few spelling mistakes and sentences that could work better, hope it’s okay I give some suggestions 🙂
“These may be my very last journal entries. There is a great chance that I’m going to die soon, and along with me, all of existence. My name is Eros, and I am preparing for the final fight to save the world as we know it.”
“My original name was actually Steve, and I ran a bakery.” (Maybe you could say where and how many years ago?)
“I have learned many things on my journey from others I’ve met. I’m adding these interludes to the diary since Clara keeps pressing me to do so. In these interludes, I will tell you a part of the journey from another person’s perspective.”
I think you did a very good job adding dramatic effect and mystery! I would read this!
Hello, thank you for the positive feedback!
Yes, the chronicles will play a large role in the story.
I am grateful for the tips on the sentences, and yes, I had some of those, but I edited, since saving the world if like grabbing a fly from a soup. By the time he writes this chronicles, literally, if he fails, nothing will exist anymore.
I have emitted the years and the where deliberately, these are things that will be revealed at the beginning of the book.
With some clever wording of the sentences, I have tried to create mystery, and question marks!
If you indeed want to read it, here is the link to the prologue, and the first three chapters are also online.

Sounds good!
I find it interesting, although I don’t usually read books in a different language than mine I might give it a try. That said, as feedback I would say that the synopsis doesn’t really tell me much, almost nothing, I think that if someone else who isn’t interested in the genre maybe it won’t catch their attention.
btw, the cover art is pretty nice 🙂
Yeah, the whole idea is to actually say nothing, lol. That is why the book begins with a prologue instead of a chapter 1!
Book 2 will have a much clearer synopsis, this was the entire plan from the beginning!
I am glad you like the cover art.
eeeh okay
