Short questions: Why did you choose the mature genre? How relevant is the mature genre to your story?

Honestly, dude. In terms of writing style, I prefer your old prologue. The old prologue had a solid narrative. The scenes were very easy to visualize. The characters felt alive in their world. And there was almost no narrator voice leakage (except for a minor error in character name...

Handle Sensitive Content of Mother's Childbirth As the title above, I want to narrate the scene meaningfully, emotionally, and not exploitatively. I want to respect a mother's struggle. I already have a reference but I'm not sure how to implement it precisely. What do you think? I'd love to...

14 out of 17 respondents (currently) agree that character emotions need to be narrated through showing, rather than telling by mentioning raw emotions (sad, anxiety, etc). Authors can narrate emotions organically (by showing) through body language, psychological reactions (tears, nausea, etc)...

Sensory details should be the effect of an action. In one paragraph it should describe an element of the scene which can be anything including: (1) time, (2) environment/world, (3) objects — living and non-living things, (4) characters, (5) atmosphere, (6) events, (7) emotions, (8)...
