Wind Proofread:

Ugh.  Reading Wind was a huge chore because the book was so full of dumb proofreading errors.  There/Their/They're was used randomly instead of according to its meaning, the same with its/it's, your/you're, etc.  Every possible mistake was made in every possible way.

Thankfully that's all fixed now.  If you want to read Wind you can read it with proper spelling and grammar now for the first time.

But even with proper spelling and grammar Wind isn't a good book.  Oh, it's readable, I did just finish reading it.  But the story breaks off in the middle without any conclusion.  That's the biggest black mark.  Other problems with the story include people overreacting over every little thing and having huge emo self-confidence issues.  The four men who make up the Wind Reich party really get on my nerves.  The two girls, one old dude and one mascot character that makes up the Water Kingdom are much better -- but are only introduced at the book's halfway point.  That's a lot of obnoxious emo boys to read about before you get to the first fun characters.

Well, as my first ever novel, while I was still in junior high or high school, and at that an extremely ambitious epic fantasy with a task harder than even Frodo had to go through, allowances must be made.

There are good scenes and good lines in the book, even if the work as a whole is a failure.  I don't regret having written it and others are welcome to give it a try.

While Wind gets better the deeper in you go, Illyria is just the opposite.  It has a strong beginning and then fades as the story progresses.  I'm most impressed by the nightmares in Illyria.  They're riveting.  Actually Wind's best scene was also a nightmare, but Illyria has more of them so advantage Illyria.

Even so, Illyria has an obvious problem in that it's recounting a terrible moment in history, the fall of the Roman Republic, so even though Marcellus is always trying his best the world he lives in just continuously falls apart until there's nothing left.  It's a book whose destiny is despair.

Historically accurate?  Sure.  Does it make for a good story though?  Nope.

As with Wind, there are certainly good scenes and lines in Illyria and I don't regret writing it or people reading it.  But it isn't great literature.  Neither of these books can compare to 'In Another World With 100 Waifus.'

The Wyrd Saga I've read recently already and I already know is perfect.  This includes Changeling which I've reread endless times.  So that just leaves The Greatest Vision and The Twin Spires to proofread once more and see how it compares to my latest work.

As things stand the ratings would look like this -- Wyrd Saga (composed of Dead Enders, Choice Givers (which includes Changeling), and Followers and Emulators) > In Another World With 100 Waifus > Sellsword > The Emperor's Son Books I and II > Illyria > Wind.

I can't know where my final books stand compared to the others until I've given them both a fresh look.  I can also take the opportunity to do more proofreading like I have with the others.

As much as I love 100 Waifus, it can't match the output of four combined books on its own.  It could never be #1 with competition like that.  But at least it's still beating any other lone competitor.
