I was confused on how to do the onomatopoeia when it came to the action moments. Especially the tension and death scenes

Descriptive language is all you need really. Stuff like onomatopoeia is best used sparingly, or better yet left out completely. If you want to generate tension, make the stakes clear to the reader. Who stands to lose what?

My advice would be to study examples of the medium you want to write in. Diving into comic books will help if you want to see how they go about it so you can apply that to your own comic book , the same way aspiring filmmakers watch a s*** ton of films and read acclaimed screenplays to get a feel of what to do for their own films . Writing a novel with movies in mind doesn't always lead to great results because that's like trying to apply knowledge from one medium to another.

Btw do you think it might potentially wipe out the personality of my writing?

No, it will reveal it. Every writer has had that concern before, but you wanna learn the rules so that you can understand when and how to break them.

Leonardo Da Vinci was a master at his craft, constantly innovating, but he also had a strong foundation of painting the standard realistic paintings like his peers at the time. Without that foundation, he wouldn't have found his lane.

Even though you can be a successful writer due to varying circumstances outside the writing itself, you cannot be a good writer without reading . There's simply no way around that, so read in your genre for reference and outside of it for inspiration.

Lock in, hold on to your stuff, and revise it before sharing it. Also would help to look for beta readers or critique partners who can help you and be honest with you.

I'd recommend looking for someone who reads in the genre that you'll specialize in. Goodreads and Google critique partner matchup are good places to start

For now, what you're looking for is a critique partner. Beta readers usually have full works ready and gone through some self edits/revisions a couple of times.

Im going to get back and finish it but so far I liked the first interaction between the kid and the old man

Joking about the smell was a funny way to switch the tone from being threatened to more relaxed. and it gave some insight to the old man’s personality/character right away
