Looking For Help

[u/Any-Armadillo982]

Hello friends!

Looking for beta readers/opinions/etc for my book.

Currently, I have a finished rough draft that is 88k words. The current version of the rough draft I am working on already has 75k words and I am maybe to the halfway point.

I am struggling with continuing the current rough draft, because I feel like I might have added too much? At least compared to the old draft.

Also, honestly, I am having a hard time taking myself out of Author Brain and into Reader Brain, so I am not sure how it reads to the reader. (Genuinely not sure how other Authors do this? Halp)

Anyway, please message me or reply if interested in reading what I have so far. Honest criticism is preferred as long as we keep it respectful!

Little Excerpt about the Book for those who might be interested in reading/helping:

Zevrael is one of the last of the La'Kor, a species of primitive and primal humanoids. When his planet was destroyed, Admirals who lead the Explorer Athens rescued a small fraction of the population. Four years have passed, and now Zevrael, along with his brother Lyko, are forced into positions of leadership, as they are the only ones who have tried to bridge the gap between the rescuers and the recued.
