Okay. Thank you. Do you think I should start with something else, or should I make a different, smaller, story that's in the world I want to make?
make sure your world is easy to work with the laws (of physics) and logic. Don't push too many obscure ideas. Something that readers can easily grasp.

And then once you do, see if a smaller story can fit into your world and also if there's potential for it to grow, add more.

And if you see new ideas changing the story slowly, keep it in the back burner until it feels obvious the change needs to happen. Some people will keep writing a story with the same goals even though the story evolved.

Also please stop with the "lol". You may be young but there is no need to advertise. Also the psychological diffusion mechanics of "lol" are ignored by myself and others. Those simple Jedi mind tricks do not work on us.

Geez... I find you very insulting. I'm not saying "lol" to appease you or whatever it is you think i'm trying to advertise. I say it whenever I find something funny.
Too late to get to this , but this needs some addressing ...

Critiques in general (more in-depth feedbacks may also be included) are treated as formal conversation & like any normal conversation , both party are supposed to engaged with each other in a well-behaved , serious & neutral manner (and for this situation , proper grammar if possible) .

Lol , or 'Laugh out Loud' for those who are stuck in the ninties pretty much says it all . The kind of 'energy' it gives off though differs between different types of conversation . In a casual conversation , 'lol' may work as you intended it to be , the same can't be said for formal conversations ...

If you're an Average Joe , do you randomly put a Gringe-like smirk , snort or laugh whenever you're discussing a major topic along with esteemed peers who're engaging it to heart ?
If you're a freshmen model who is at the client's company looking for a job along with other models of equal or higher caliber than you are & when the client is being serious during his/her speech/lecture (laying down rules , T&C & debriefings) , do you roll your eyes , chuckle and/or talk in the middle randomly in the middle of it , right in front of your potential client's face ?

Even for comedians whose job is to invoke laughter among his/her audiences , when it comes to anything that are deemed 'formal' in terms of conversation (like above) , they keep it away unless they're asked for one and/or after it ended because common sense tells them that if the sender is giving off messages that are deemed so , you're to take it & reply back as so - something the majority of the internet users don't seem to get it , attitudes & egos aside .

Sure , there are people who do initiate a formal conversation in a loose manner but what the unwary don't realize is that despite it being in a lighter mood , most of the time you'll only see smiles & on some occasions , a brief laugh & that it doesn't happen throughout then entire conversation . What's for sure is that it doesn't go full 'hipster' like "Lol ;D , I don't entirely agree with your T&C , but thank you for offering me this assignment :D ! Lmao ;D ! I'm f***ing pumped ! Hahahaha ! :) :) :) ;D ;D ;D" ... okay , let's say you lost it at that moment . All you can do to fix that is an apology & gaining back your composure , not ... you know .

If anything , it's best to keep casual speeches out of formal conversation , preferably entirely . In such conversation , we expect both ends to behave & converse in such manner .

I recommend working on one story and making it simple and have distinct rules if it's in a fantasy setting. Rules we will see from chapter 1 and onward.
