I'm winning by having a bad case of cold. Wait- That's not winning!

You should certainly make it clear whose PoV it is, but how exactly you do it is less important - just be consistent with it. Assuming your readers will just pick up whose PoV you are following without signalling it properly can be annoying for the reader, especially before they get used to the...

That's what happens when you pull every single hostile mob on the starting map, like he just did apparently.

I knew I saw this concept executed somewhere! Forgot about Baka to Test. And then there are the Dark Arts users with techniques like "Subterfuge: Hidden Cheat Sheet", "Stealth: Copy Answers" and "Premeditation: Stolen Test Template".

Mostly I want to know what the story will be about, the tone it will take, and the character or characters it will follow. It does not need to be too detailed, though it helps when it's more than just bare-bones descriptions. But when it's pretentious or overly ambitious, it tends to turn me...

The one above me secretly has no secrets.

Summer. Warmth, sun, lush greenery and long days. Winter is the worst, even worse than Autumn. It's dreary, cold, often humid, you go to work before sunrise and by the time you leave it's already starting to get dark again.

Is he the guy who said you should appear calm, while you're ready to impale that f*cker trying to butcher you on your horns?

The one above me does not even have a quest to turn in, and just wants to flirt with the receptionist. You have two other receptionists right there! No need to join the longest line in the guild!

Absolutely! Which brings me to another nightmare - when you already start cooking, but halfway through realize you are missing a key ingredient.

Yeah, I honestly don't recall anyone ever using garlic powder around here. Always actual cloves of garlic.

Looks like an illegal translation, albeit different enough so it's not apparent at first glance, compared to what is on NU (just by checking the novel's page). Your best bet, if previous reports failed, is trying to find the actual original, or asking the community for help with it through the...

It gives a slice of life, maybe fantasy feel. If that is applicable to your novel, go ahead, it's at least a fairly unique style. The style of the "O" stands out in a bad way, though, at least for me. Distracting from the rest of the cover. The white filling might be too bright against the rest...

The one above me is that shoe.

In the picture you paint, you can't judge or save the world without first changing the people. Assuming you try, without a thorough preparation and/or a very specific power set, you would be alone against the world where every level of society perpetrates and perpetuates the status quo, and...

In my case it's a matter of immersion, and meat on the bones of the story. 1000 words is too little, the chapter ends before it can properly start, and there is no room to tell the story and paint the world in any meaningful way at the same time. Add a lot of callbacks, and there's practically...

Obviously it's myself.

Tortaffe sounds like some kind of sweet pastry.

Yes, a quick check shows no other thread comes even close.
