Fantasy writers build entire worlds from scratch, but the story still needs to work as a story. Character arcs, pacing, and narrative structure matter just as much when there's a magic system involved. Red Ink Report checks both the world and the tale you're telling inside it.
Upload Your Manuscript Free up to 10k words · £20 per reportWe track the rules of your world across the full manuscript. Geography, politics, culture, technology — if something contradicts what you've established, we catch it.
Whether your magic is hard or soft, it needs internal consistency. We check that your system's rules, costs, and limitations are maintained and that magic doesn't become a convenient escape hatch.
Fantasy demands world-building explanation, but too much at once stalls the narrative. We identify info-dumps, passages where exposition overwhelms story, and gaps where the reader needs more context.
Epic scope can flatten characters into plot functions. We track each major character's emotional journey to ensure they're growing and changing, not just moving between set pieces.
Multiple POVs, parallel timelines, and sprawling casts create pacing challenges unique to fantasy. We map your narrative rhythm and flag sections where complexity buries momentum.
With multiple plotlines running in parallel, continuity errors multiply. We track character locations, timeline progression, and plot thread status across every chapter.
