>who sometimes poses as a real writer.
Technically, I AM a real writer. That's what's so great about it.

As a writing exercise, I think you would get more out of it if you could identify each clause and phrase and how it contributes to the overall narrative of Heart of Darkness, rather than just swapping out the parts and seeing how it looks. I think your prose will be empty and purple if you continue on like this and just add a bunch of introspection and extended metaphor to your own story later without knowing why you're talking about beetles, other than that Joseph Conrad did so.
Also, if I might be so bold, I would suggest that perhaps modern audiences aren't as interested in deep introspective and reflective characters facing moral quandaries and dilemmas so much as they crave bland self-inserts who hit things with swords and shoot fireballs from their hands.
