    After centuries of observing the Galactic Peacekeeping Games from the sidelines, humanity finally decides to participate. However, recognizing the advanced state of their weaponry compared to other galactic civilizations, they opt to use outdated, seemingly harmless "toy" weapons to avoid dominating the competition. Initially ridiculed by other races, humanity's tactical brilliance and innovative use of their "toys" quickly prove them wrong, showcasing the true potential of human ingenuity and resourcefulness in the face of overwhelming odds.

    Can you make an HFY story where humans are hyper advanced, one day they found a galaxy with a weird energy resonance pulsating in it. However, this energy is naturally repellant against iron or humans. Then in this galaxy they found several planets, one in particular is a world inhabited by "Elves". For the elves the ships look like black voids because their magic cannot detect it. Once they sent out probes to the planets the elves reacted negatively and thought it was demons from a dark god or something. Yeah, and when humans try interact with them they can't harm the humans with magic because they're immune.
    I've read some stories like this in HFY where iron is anti-magic, i hope you do something like this in the future

    Wooden handle and stock, early 20th century, visible hammer. IDK, it sounds more like late 19th century likes M1887, or in sidearm case, M1911, TT33. I think we should go with AKM as it's a symbol of peace and conflict, used by both good and bad guy, and besides, it's classic.

      M1 fits for long arms. Early 1911s and Mausers also seem to be correct. An eccentric commander might have a pair of pearl-handled revolvers - I'm blanking on Patton's choice: 44 or 45. or merely inspired by history and chambered in 454 or 500 or future small artillery.
      Nature almost never produces straight lines, deep blacks, or blued steel. A wooden body is a bit more useful for painting to either blend in or break up a shape. I'd really like to see a sniper v sniper HFY. Good times. Y'all

    The author is so caught up in the overuse of descriptive adverbs and adjectives that he/she experienced another faux pas in the "arena erupted in stunned silence" . A truly momentous event, erupting in stunned silence. Possibly an alternative would be 'shocked into a stunned silence", but hey, if you can erupt into stunned silence in your mind, go with it, it would make more sense with in all in your mind.....The Terrans and Thoraxians faced each other across a ravine, the targeted mineral was "on the other side"...the other side of what, a another ravine, a hill, cliff, mountain? Oops, dang details that are needed for the story to make sense, missed opportunity. The entire premise of Terrans using "primitive" weapons so as to not show off their good stuff and create problems was completely nullified by beating the crap out of the competition using the old weapons. What species wouldn't ask, "If they beat us that badly with antique weaponry, what would they do with their modern, advanced weaponry?" The story's entire point is now moot. I made it halfway through to past the 13:00 minute mark before giving up on it getting better. Keep up with the narration skills, hopefully qualified authors will seek you out.

    One of your better ones. I can tell when you read it out loud verses when you use an audio narration program. Write, edit, review. Remove repeats and correct AI writing errors. If you are going to use those tools then you need to do the work to correct mistakes that the tools make. It isn't easy to make well written, well narrated stories. Fewer stories with quality over quantity. You may need an editor to listen and point out errors.
