What do you think is the "selling point" of your story?

[TheLemmaLlama]

I'd say it's my exploration of themes that I quite literally haven't seen any other story explore (at least in any similar way), no matter how much I looked :'D

(Since you mentioned art, I guess my loose yet immersive style with occasional animations is also a selling point ^^; )

I'm hoping its the banter between characters. Sure, its got some tropes (its comedy/satire at least in my mind) but I am hoping the quirkiness of the characters shine through interactions, conversations, and thoughts:

"Demon King Olethros, The Dark Serpent, Second of Evil, was living up to his last title in earnest, acting like a giant number two."

I mean, it's first person POV and the MC isn't exactly entirely reliable, let alone omniscient, but who is these days?

Hoping to catch anyone who wants non-OP mecha fights without the angsty teenage drama and instead of having bwahaha bad guys in a massive war, it's lesser known who's really bad in a complicated world of fragile geopolitics.

Stick figures and the different artstyles we use for the characters from different worlds.



It's also sort of a villain of the week so people are wondering "Which Isekaier are they going to fight next?!?". So far it was a villain ripped straight from Jojo and then it was a Ghost in the Shell/Macross Plus/Elita: Battle Angel egomaniac.

We made sure to engrain that stick figure stuff into the themes so it doesn't come across as superficial or "lol random".

I like to believe the selling point of West is emotional conveyancing through the art I create? But I don't know if it actually is. It might just be pretty pictures + long haired strong man = hella good time.

Probably the characterdynamic and the backgroundart in my case. The rest is mediocre at best but that is okay. It's basically your typical "forced relationship turned into a true one"- trope. But I love drawing it so I don't really care much.

A few people mentioned being sucked in by the characters from the very beginning, which makes me really happy! It's very important in a story that's mostly slice of life.

From the feedback I've gotten, people find them equally interesting in both comedic and serious moments. It'd be worrying if none of the humor landed or if people found the heavier moments too melodramatic. The type of readers I've gotten have fun seeing the characters' antics while also having fun reading into their psyches, which is exactly what I want!

People have said that it's pretty cozy. I try to make sure that even in the more serious sections, there's lighthearted and/or heartfelt moments.

I also think my art style has gotten to the point where it's decently eye-catching, especially now that I'm able to polish my lines more.

I think, for the first parts of my story, it's the fact I incorporated (in)justice, poverty, power and greed. About how the world, society, is so thrown out of balance and how we are shaped by what is being fed to us by the media, and find that 'hey, it's okay!' when in reality and every individual situation, it's not.

I take inspiration from those who can still smile when their condition is way less fortunate than I. That, the way I see it, is true strength and beauty. My work may be unconventional that it reaches little to no one in terms of [true] following. But I like to think that it also illustrates what the people in med-high society cannot see.
