    OH FUCK RIGHT KAGEROU PROJECT. That’s another one for me. Good shout, man. was obsessed with the songs when I was a kid. Still am

    Getting back in the groove...?

    Okay yknow what? Fair. I misread it as you writing stuff you don’t like and doing it anyway. Writing just to write is in fact a good idea so I rescind my statement :blob_salute:

    Writing What stories do you use as references for your work(s)?

    For my lifelong aspirations and writing goals that is in basically everything I write: One Piece Trails/Legend of Heroes game series Toaru series Inuyasha I love long form shit, and I love world building. These four series are basically the pillars for what I want to accomplish. For my...

    Getting back in the groove...?

    I don’t think that’s the move chief :blob_neutral: Also genuinely yeah. I write my best when I turn my brain off and let yeezus take my soul for a bit.

    Favorite background details?

    In the Trails game series, there are whole NPC character arcs going on in the background that you won’t know about if you don’t talk to them. There’s a famous one, but that dude actually becomes relevant in future games, so he’s not a background detail. In the first five games, there’s a whole...

    Which are some of the worst isekai, cultivation or fantasy stories you have ever read

    I have a personal vendetta against Seirei Gensouki. It is criminal, CRIMINAL, how insanely boring it is with such a decent concept. Isekai’d individual that’s actually mixed with their new world soul, going on a journey of revenge because of what he faced as an actual child, and running into...

    Getting back in the groove...?

    Like others said, just open your writing program and start. Be it dialogue or whatever. Then when you’re done, realize it’s shit and procrastinate again :blob_okay: (totally not a personal experience) But yeah, slowly but steady can work. Short bursts of writing. And who knows you might be so...

    Planning out your story vs winging it chapter-by-chapter

    My story is my outline :cool:

    How much details do you use?

    Unironically yes ? I need help knowing if I’m leaving a barren mess of words or if I’m overdoing it sometimes

    Medieval Stasis, a rant.

    How do these things even get popular despite being so bad

    Smartphone shitsekai had so much potential to be actually decent maaaaan. Let me set the record straight and say I read and enjoyed up to volume 23ish when that first came out. The worldbuilding in itself is actually pretty cool. The problem is that the MC is so god damn boring that it...

    Please review my novel "Naruto: True World"

    Masturbatory as in fanfics may tend to have a lot of “look at these characters and this world, super cool!!” type of vibe instead of telling a story. Anyway, I had enough time to read one chapter, so here goes. I think the technical writing is decent. Grammar, flow, and syntax are good enough...

    Any authors here who....

    I am writing my stories out of pure spite for the shit isekai’s being pumped out and gobbled up. I want to see a decent one dammit!!

    Why is Google docs doing this

    It’s haunted.

    How would you write someone finding out they are in a different world?

    It's certainly a tactic. One I really don't like. If an isekai skips everything and slaps the audience with the MC saying "Welp! I don't care! Let's be OP in this world!", then I cry about the current state of the world. It's a shame I honestly didn't even intend on it being grimdark...

    How would you write someone finding out they are in a different world?

    Nothing grinds my gears more than modern shitsekais pulling the signature pink car "SKIPPA". It's so god damn annoying seeing them jump over what would always be great worldbuilding and characterization. Zero no Tsukaima my love. Anyways, I'm currently planning a story that basically requires...

    Writing Need help with a writer block

    Don't take this as an attack on you, but when I read this, I just can't help but see Greg Onision's writing lmao. Yes you can. And you should. Because there isn't any plot if, as you say, they can solve it easily. If you've already deviated from your original plot 6 chapters in, it sounds like...

    I need some feedback on this first chapter.

    To preface, I've read a lot of mediocre garbage, so I have a tough time truly getting engaged with stuff, even if I really like it. I've actually never done something like this before, so I'm doing this on a whim. Keep in mind, while I'm an aspiring writer I'm actually dogshit at explaining...

    Tell me about your first novel and your latest novel?

    I write like a parasite. I take everything from any media I love and blend it all up into an absolute mess. My first ever complete "novel" is based entirely off of the "Daughter of Evil" vocaloid song, alongside some ideas from Guilty Crown and thankfully some original ones I had in a dream...
