    Five biggest regrets in life

    I didn't write the book I wanted to write sooner That I watched Fire Force, and realized it dropped off in quality after episode 2, effectively wasting a lot of my time I wrote on storyfire I wrote webnovels, instead of writing an actual book I keep abandoning one story to chase the pipe dream...

    Writing How to effectively make a story dark(How to set up an effective tone)

    Yeah I do agree with you on this. Once again, I was tired when making this since I had stayed up till midnight, but I wanted to just get my views out before I went to sleep. I could have worded it better to be frank, but I still stand behind the other points I detail out. Ironic isn't it. I talk...

    Writing How to effectively make a story dark(How to set up an effective tone)

    I posted some time ago about the difference between a "Dark story" and an "Edgy story." In the end I gave what I believe is the most defining factor of differentiating those two stories. Some people agreed, some didn't and gave their reasonings while coming up with their own ideas of what makes...

    Writing Dark stories vs. Edgy stories

    That just sounds like a plot. What makes something actually dark is the tone. I didn't go into what makes something dark or not here since that wasn't the point of what I was talking about. The Rising of the Shield Hero's tone is more akin to pure High Fantasy rather than Dark Fantasy. You want...

    Writing Dark stories vs. Edgy stories

    Well revenge stories don't have to be edgy or dark. Like I wouldn't call Rising of the Shield Hero a dark fantasy. Yeah its got death, government corruption, and slavery, but that doesn't necessarily make a story dark. One Piece has the same things, but I wouldn't call it a dark story. It all...

    Writing Dark stories vs. Edgy stories

    I've seen this discussion popping up time and time again across many different sites with many different layers to the discussion. I've seen people say that there are no such thing as edgy stories, only stories that show the real world. I've seen people say that dark and edgy is one and the...

    Do you consider yourself attractive?

    Lets see. I'm a fat neckbeard that would look perfect in a fedora. I watch anime religiously and read manga like no tomorrow. And I'm a fantasy author whos primary source of interaction with the human species is talking to piggly wiggly cashiers. So maybe.

    S.O.S - My story is garbage.

    What that basically means is that when people laugh, the eventual sadness only hits harder. It's the contrast between happiness and sadness that makes events tragic in the first place. That's why its a cliche in movies for a character to talk about their family or how their two weeks from...

    Was your first book bad?

    Yeah, it was pretty bad. The actual concept itself was fine, in fact I had planned it out for quite some time. But the actual writing wasn't, and I was a very cringy kid that had no idea how to write actual fantasy.

    How serious do take scribblehub

    The only thing I take seriously here is how people criticize my story. So far, I know I got poor grammar, and I change past and present tense a lot, and still do have that problem, but everything else is rather swell.

    Writing [Tutorial] When & How to Smut

    You see, this is great and all, but this just makes me more confused about my own story. On one hand, my story is very plot heavy, especially outside the smut scenes. The main plot is a murder/mystery/thriller, however, if I took away my smut, then my story would lose a lot of its edge and...

    What do you think of Ritoria?

    looking at the genres, the website is very lgbt romance orianted, which isn't bad per say. There should be a website like that that the type of people that read those types of stories can easily access, but that kind of limits its growth. My take on how RR and SH got popular is because they...

    Initial story rating

    Let me tell you this right now, don't look at a rating to judge a story's quality. Go to the reviews cause people will explain what worked and didn't work for them. Now there are still, what I would call, review lites, where they don't really review it. Instead they either praise the story to...

    Is Nightcore Only Enjoyed By Fatherless People?

    The first nightcore I listened to was Akame Ga Kill Opening Nightcore. It had like a million views, and I was wondering what the deal was. Turns out lots of people like their ears bleeding, cause thats exactly what happened to me. I do not get the people that like nightcore just as much as I...

    Writing Easiest Genre to Start Out Writing in?

    Lets go down the options. Romance: You need to have enough knowledge and self-awareness to not make a toxic relationship, then glorify it. horror: The second worst option, because you have to be descriptive when it counts, while holding back enough information to keep the idea of the unknown...
