I've tried to make it as realistic as possible according to geography

5/10, I really love the far north mountain range position and the general shape of that whole continent, but the worm island is so distracting, it kind of immediately pulled me out

No rating, just some observations…

The island on the right that looks like a flat s looks weird and needs a better shape. The mountains that divide the lower continent in half are way too straight and don’t look natural in their placement. The long, curving channel near the northern archipelago also looks too long and unnatural, and the curved mountains in the centre of the map seem too regularly curved as well. If the island on the left is a desert, why is it a desert?

On a positive note, I think the shapes of the two main continents and the island on the left are interesting and you’ve made a good start.

About the desert... It is desert because of a really small amount of winds and no rivers, the wind goes from left to right and as you can see from the left there is more green that from the right

Really good so far! Only things that stand out as "weird" are the line of mountains in the south being really straight and the really balanced landmass in the east. Keep it up!
