There’s a place in your world where people are warned never to go. What makes it forbidden, and what really lies there?

I was curious what artistic medium people here were conveying their worlds in? I personally I've been creating worlds and stories in my head since I can remember but I've never really found a way to get them out of my head. At the moment I'm giving writing a go and working on Helm Knights (I may change the name later). How is everyone else sharing their worlds or are other people also struggling to find a medium that works for them?

What’s the one scene in your story that you’re most excited to write — the moment you’ve been building toward? It could be a huge twist, a quiet emotional beat, or the big finale. Share a little about why this moment matters to you!

When you think about your world, would you actually want to live there? Would you thrive in its cultures and cities, or struggle to survive its dangers and conflicts?

I have been working on a set-piece scene that ends a chapter for the past week and all the feedback I get keeps telling me it doesn't work; but in the same breath, all of that feedback is completely disregarding the fact that it's a SINGLE SCENE inside a 5-Act book. Feedback mostly consisting of: 1. "Well, you didn't explain that yet so it's confusing." 2. "Well, this character isn't established yet, so it's problematic and dehumanizing." 3. "This is not believable for a human, and blah blah blah." After EXPLICIT instructions that let them know that all of those things are addressed LATER in the story. 1. No, it's not explained yet; that's part of the mystery, we explain it in Act 2 2. Of course this character isn't established, we just met them in this scene, and they are traumatized and confused. 3. Yeah, he's meta-human the reader/other characters don't know that yet, that's why he seems overpowered right now because he's the narrator of this Act, and why would he reveal that to you? It's like people don't remember how stories work anymore and expect complete arc resolutions on one page. The pearl clutching and the instant gratification expectations are seriously frustrating me, and I'm about ready to just stop all together. When did we stop (as a society) appreciating layered, multisectional, slow burn, mysteries and expect everything spoon-fed to use in the first chapter? I just don't get it, and if it's, this hard just getting accurate valuable feedback this early, I really don't see the point in continuing.
