I have to disagree. I think all of the details make the stories. Any good novel has details about surroundings. It’s what allows you to see it in your minds eye.

I like your stories, however there is way too many descriptions of everything, too many analogies, too many comparisons, too much filler, can you just dumb it down a bit, and tell the story, maybe be a bit more direct in the story telling with less overall filler descriptions and words, it’s too wordy. Perhaps more character development with less filler and everything else.

Overwhelming n intense feeling the emotions Julian had to experience over the choices!
