Hello there, I'm currently writing a selection of short stories for an online game and need a second more experienced writer to read through a few bits for me on a one to one basis and tell me if there is anything wrong, give constructive criticism that sort of thing. The genre is Fantasy, its text book Lord of the Rings stuff but I’m trying to go deeper into races, religions, etc. Send me a PM if you can help out with my writing. Thanks in advance.

I'd say you need to be more specific with your moral complexities rather than just say "It's Fantasy like Lord of the Rings".
It's vague at best.

I don't know how many times people say it but, be more in-depth in your description. For all we know, you could playing down the best parts of your story by writing it off as Lord of the Rings.
