    Revenge Novels

    Yes, while revenge is the goal, it's not like its his only goal. He does want to know why she did what she did, why she tortured him endlessly for having a power he thought was good, why she thought it was a good idea to sexually abuse him and r#pe him and have him graped by others, why she...

    Revenge Novels

    Yeah, I have no intention of stretching the story beyond what it needs to be. I already have every character needed for the story and planned out. How they get introduced is what I just go crazy on, nearly all the necessary layers have been added for my revenge novel and after that, it's just...

    Revenge Novels

    What do you think of revenge novels? I'm writing a revenge novel currently (Two at the moment, one is posted yet) (Don't ask why) I want to know what you think is the biggest disappointment in a revenge novel. I want to make sure my revenge novel actually works for what it does. I do intend...

    How to shift Perspective in First-person perspective novel?

    Thanks for the input. What would you consider to be the best time to change the narrative tone? This is something I want to practice since I'm terrible with third-person perspective for long term, I can only do it short-term. (Like an important moment) I'm far better at first person since it...

    How to shift Perspective in First-person perspective novel?

    I often use this: ◇ ◇ ◇, to signal that I'm changing perspectives. Would that ruin immrsation? I use this because I was reading a novel and it also used it, which for me, didn't ruin anything.

    While that is true, most of the time its either the same thing, not a 'Oh shiiiiit', but more of a 'Oh, alright'

    Loli Companion or MILF (or Mature-Looking) Companion?

    No? What are you talking about? Saying loli doesn't mean you want a child character, it just means a character with child-like appearance, there's a difference. If I said I wanted child-looking character, that wouldn't make me a pedo (Not that I would since I don't really care what a character...

    Loli Companion or MILF (or Mature-Looking) Companion?

    She can be a bit childish at times (Forcing the MC to do things, guilt-tripping him to forgiving her), but who isn't? But she is for the most part very mature and isn't being a childish 24/7. if anything, she's more mature than the MC. (Educating him on the world and helping him get stronger. As...

    How to shift Perspective in First-person perspective novel?

    So, my novel is written in first person perspective. How exactly do you change perspectives the right way to another person? Do you just change to third person perspective, or do you stick to first person? Currently struggling with this in my novel.

    Loli Companion or MILF (or Mature-Looking) Companion?

    The term "loli" refers to a character archetype in anime and manga that typically depicts young or young-looking girls, often under the age of 13 Loli means kid or child-like appearance. On its own, it has nothing to do with being attracted to them. It's the people who like them in a weird way...

    Loli Companion or MILF (or Mature-Looking) Companion?

    Yes, no romance, at least in terms of the literal Loli unless it's just a shorter woman, where that would be fine if there was romance. For y book, there's no romance, purely platonic friendship and deep trust. Yes, its platonic

    Loli Companion or MILF (or Mature-Looking) Companion?

    Wait! No! In a non-sexual way! Like friends and deep friends. People who trust each other!

    Loli Companion or MILF (or Mature-Looking) Companion?

    In my story(That I haven't posted yet), I've having my MC be with a sort of Loli I guess or more so a petite woman that is much shorter than average be his companion, also being a spirit for extra points. Do you think a Loli companion is better (like Paimon) or a much taller, MILF if that's what...

    Yeah, I figured that was the case. I guess I'm flooded with so much trash I'm unable to see the gold behind it

    LitRPG and Systems

    Does anyone feel like LitRPG is severely underutilized or am I just ignorant? I feel like the system could be used in a lot for ways, but it's just opting for the same stats, general level, group stuff, and all the shenanigans. There also the fact in isekai is just...exist, no reason, it just...

    I do agree. Revenge Novels can come off as boring if nothing happens or everything just happens, which is why I have my character be extremely misfortune, with good skills (since its LitRPG), but to use them is actually terrible or sometimes not useful. Failure Frame could have slightly more...

    For the first one, at least for me, it felt like it was going down the typical oh, the character knows the tropes and they happen. It happens in isekai a lot so for me, it felt generic, even if these tropes, did necessarily happen For the second one, I'm not saying that at all, but when you see...

    Don't worry. It's more so me taking what failed at Failure Frame, sprinkling some flaws so the MC isn't OP as well as making more interesting characters and making a story out of it.

    Read-Baiting Readers

    This is something I thought about ever since I read Re: Zero: I notice that the title of the Re: Zero could come off as being the generic isekai as well as the start, but later on, quickly more so, it starts to get a lot better into peak. Do you think it's smart to bait readers into thinking...
