Technically, the book I'm writing is a collection of short stories that connect to form one big cohesive tale. Right now, though, I'm only focusing on getting feedback for the first of those.

Technically, that's an anthology. A "book" or novel would be one single story with an average length of 300 + pages.
BTW, the key to reverse psychology is subtlety--you gave it away with the heavy-handed arrogance.

I'd think that an anthology would have to be stories collected from multiple authors that don't have anything to do with one another. But ok.

How many minutes of seething, unfettered hatred against humankind can you take?

No really, I want to see what/how Sly writes. He's asking for feedback and I feel up for giving it, sans the hatred.

Truth be told, I'm a little curious myself. That said, I'm a little caught up with my own 3d modeling projects to do any critiquing for him, so I'll just wait until he posts it publicly before giving it a look.
People often say art is a reflection of the creator's soul, so I expect there to be a lot of apocalyptic stuff as well as doom and gloom.

Oof, I was down with reading your drivel up until you gave that number. I mean, I already know it's going to be trash, considering you have incredibly low standards when it comes to writing, (The TF movies were trash and the sooner you can admit that, the sooner we can all move on) but it would at least be fun to read as part of a group activity, like reading "My Immortal." But I don't know about 50 pages, I can only take so much before I feel the urge to kill myself with alcohol poisoning.
Now go ahead and insult my intelligence, something about how I couldn't comprehend your work. We all know that's your next move.

First off, you haven't read it. How the hell should I know you wouldn't comprehend it? You're judging it out of cognitive bias, before you've even seen a word from it. It's not what you're thinking. It isn't a damn thing to do with what you're thinking.

I don't need to have read Stephanie Meyer's latest book to know it's going to be crap with too many adjectives and not enough likable characters. I don't need to read Dan Brown's latest book to know it's going to be full of major inconsistencies with real life that he's going to pretend are true anyway. And I don't need to read your story to know it's going to be just your usual diatribe in story format.
Just for funsies, though, what's the story about?

A sociopath who rises up against an so called "oppressive government," (even though it's lasted for billions of years in absolute peace, save for the past 30 years) and gets locked up. The story itself is about him attempting to escape from prison. It's not at all what it sounds like, though. That's just the main premise.

So it's Prison Break starring you.
Pass.

By the way, I kind of need this done within the next few days. So, if anyone wants to give feedback, let me know soon.
