    How to use a dead body #forfanfic

    That's an interesting thought. I assume their physiology would mean their intestines would be stronger, more so the older and bigger they grow, and its larger size would likewise give you more options while processing it - such as using several layers to further strenghten it. So to answer your...

    Writing [Rant] Don't Insult your Readers.

    I would point out your readers are a tiny fraction of the total reader base, no matter how popular you are. You might be using platforms where the worse readers don't dwell as much, you might have done something right that discourages them, or maybe you just lucked out, but the average reader is...

    How to use a dead body #forfanfic

    Intestine is too weak to be used as garden hose. Even just the water pressure inside would rupture it, and that's before talking about how it would scrape along the ground all the time. It's an alright water/food pouch, though.

    D&D style class level and perks in novels, does it actually makes sense?

    Is it conceptually any different from a simple, generic LitRPG? Limited skill choices tied to level-ups are kind of a staple... The choices are the same for pretty much every person with the same class, but after a point there is enough of those choices to make most higher levels different from...

    Promoting my Novel Boundless Gods

    So to sum this up - overconfident and shameless advertising, pitiful chapter length, awkward synopsis at best (and I'm being generous here), and apparently matching quality of the chapters themselves? Yeah, I'm not touching this with a ten foot pole.

    Equipment quality for LitRPG/Adventure genre

    There are two main ways to gatekeep your gear progression - availability and affordability. Your MC can walk into a store bursting with the best quality gear on the market, but it's not going to do him much good if he can barely afford the cheapest gear. Conversely, your MC can come into...

    Writing Does a story necessarily have to convey a message/moral ?

    A story does not need to convey a hidden message or moral lesson. Nothing is stopping you from including it, but it is optional and depending on execution, might not even add anything positive to the end result. As a bit of a side note, I believe it is famously the territory of (traditional)...

    How to rank job/ class rarity?

    Common style in isekai/LitRPG slop is naming rarity by materials/metals/gems. Better way, in my opinion, is expanding the name - not by adjectives like "super duper mega powerful", but by specialization. Rarer, higher tiers are not neccessarily stronger than more common tiers, but they are...

    The issue related to the character names.

    Which non-English countries specifically? Many western names have a direct equivalent in English, so there you have the option of translating them if you really want to. For everything else, you should just leave the names as they are - romanized when needed, but not translated.

    What a nice surprise...

    They appear to bee bees. Seeing as you can't handle them yourself, you should not have too much trouble finding a beekeeper willing to come to you and take them off your hands.

    Fantasy world physics question? (Anyone can comment)

    Generally, I would say yes, it would likely mean a drop in power. But... You could say their [insert energy of choice] is stored in their body mass. More body mass means more energy being stored, and if they lose part of their body, their body mass and storage nturally decrese. Their energy...

    What got you into reading and what kinds of things have you enjoyed reading before?

    I started reading practically as soon as I knew how to read, so I really cannot tell you what exactly got me into it - though childern's books would be a reasonable blanket answer. Always leaning towards fantasy and adventure, I grew up with Harry Potter, Jules Verne, and some collections of old...

    Ashes and Thunder

    Sounds fitting for a fantasy world. I have seen "Ashes" specifically used in one work, where it has both historical and religious relevance, referencing a dark period of the continent's history where ash covered the entire land, an event attributed to angry gods.

    Writing I think I wrote myself into a corner

    Limit the information avalible to him? There is only so much he can learn from a library, if the library is drowning in Naruto smut BL fanfiction. Or if he can't access the library in the first place.

    Is it just me or do anyone else get turned off when authors bring irl politics and their nationalists jingoism to novels

    In moderation, it's tolerable. In many cases, when authors start voicing their nationalism and opinion on politics through their characters, it's not in moderation. So I'm going with "Yes, it's a turn-off".

    It's body manipulation or martial arts FFS

    Its not LitRPG, how to call it.

    It is both LitRPG and cultivation. You only replaced more traditional levels and stats of LitRPG with cultivation-related ones, but the way you describe it and with the stat sheet shown, it absolutely fits LitRPG. And with how the the two are merged, I would not even call it GameLit, which is...

    Is there an upper or lower limit on the word count of a story that you prefer not to cross when reading?

    I would not say there is an upper limit I won't read, as long as there is an ending and the contents can keep me interested, but stories with thousands of chapters and no clear distinction between individual books/arks are discouraging even if they do get finished.
