    Just some encouragements...

    Good post. Sometimes that decline really does hit the feels a bit. You start to think you did something wrong somewhere despite all the hard work and planning. But I've come too far. The catgirls would be sad if I didn't continue their story. If your story has catgirls...don't stop. You'll make...

    Writing How much time do you spend writing a chapter?

    Varies for me greatly since I don't sit and write straight through for the first draft. I'll have to interrupt it sometimes to refer to certain things in past events or continuity stuff. Most of my chapters are usually around 3k-5k words. A chapter without too much complexity will probably take...

    Just in case

    Can barely see the difference.

    Writing Any Tips for Making a Synopsis stand out?

    I personally am not a fan of a synopsis that starts with dialogue unless it is something iconic or covers a critical moment in the story that it is sort of hinting at. If it's short and sweet it feels more effective to me. Just my opinion. I've seen some sites cover this and say to absolutely...

    How do you visualize your scenes when you write a chapter?

    I just isekai myself so I actually experience it rather than just visualize in my head... No in all seriousness mine has more anime tones to it so its sort of a mix between anime and real sprinkled in. I have a lot of small details and mystery so I have to visualize them in a more exaggerated...

    How Much of a Planner Are You?

    Lots of planning. A lot of sub-plots that connect together and I need to make sure they happen at the right time. There are certain events that drive the characters' actions and change them as the story progresses. Having the perspective from the antagonists at times also requires more planning...

    Trolls?

    I personally don't believe in rating something a 1-star unless it is absolutely abysmal. Like hardly any effort put into it, no editing pass and nonsensical. But just because a story isn't my cup of tea doesn't mean it is terrible. But some people do like to give a 1 or 5 with no in between. I...

    Thinking up the way your characters fight: fighting styles

    My mc usually focuses on the party as a whole for fighting. I guess I can go by their individual techniques. Alphonse (mc) is a human scout with high perception. He usually focuses on reading an enemy's stance and habits before striking. If it's a big enemy, then it'll be a battle of attrition...

    Game Awards

    Dont spend much on games. Gotta be safe with the monies. Havent played anything in any category. I'm one of those people that plays Apex Legends every so often and buys dollar games on Steam that have like 200 achievements. No Nekopara? Rigged.

    Would you write something you hate if you got paid a lot to do it? (Poll)

    Yes, it would give me more time to write what I love. Better than what work I'm doing now.

    Genre Explanations (Unofficial)

    Thank you for all the effort put into this. Yes, the long question I've asked myself for years has finally been answered. I now understand 99% of what LitRPG is!

    How Much is Too Much?

    I can't handle if it's just dark. Make it super dark if it is for a good reason. Not just for the sake of it. Like the best grimdark fantasy I've ever read always had sprinkles of humor and a bit of hope. Rebellions are built on hope. Then you crush them over and over again. You pull them out...

    Genre Explanations (Unofficial)

    Always wondered about the LitRPG one since I do have some stats that are mentioned and do contribute to the story, but they are used very sparingly and I don't present tables pretty much at all. I suppose since I have some stats that contribute to the plot in some way and affect the character I...
