Does this world have lots of magic, godly, or super power possiblities? Without the world building foundation that all this is based on, I can't give any chance in hell an accurate response. I have mortals that can best gods and even kill them in my fictional world. Not sure what your...
It's hard to find a fictional story that has non-human or even non-humanoid characters as the main protagonist. Given a writer must make characters sympatric for the reader and the easiest way is to use human traits imprinted on monstrous forms. Be it that most readers will rather associate with...
