    Writing drama in a romance

    If they're teenagers or young adults, you can go the rarely used route of CF#1 starts liking CF#2 because of her displays of affection or perseverance, and slowly discover she swings both ways, which in istelf is a very dramatic experience for any person.

    Writing Need Some Writing Advice And Tips

    What I found helpful is to think a story through arcs. In a martial arts story it would follow the century old recipe of 'mc gets their ass kicked -> wants to improve -> finds a master/teacher -> they impart the knowledge of the dao or smth -> they have talent -> beats bullies or small fries...

    Writing Judge my Magic system Idea

    You did! :blob_okay: I'd expect a LOT of inbreeding to secure magic genes, like Mahouka Koukou no Rettosei (i think that's how it's spelled) does. If humans in your world have the same lifespan as we do, in barely a century the elite would have done a supersoldier program similar to the...

    Writing Judge my Magic system Idea

    You say IMO this is not consistent in how humans are still alive, being cut off from the essence of life. I'd go for 'weakened' instead, which would explain how magic users -only humans- are going extinct. Or just retcon the line that states mana is life essence. Unless all humans are...

    Does the mention of a god or afterlife reduces stakes in a story?(for you)

    Depends on what kind of Mythology the story is going for... If it is budhist, then it could be pretty yikes. Olympian, Egyptian, Hindi, Norse, Celtic, Shinto, and Christian have different meanings for the afterlife. If a story has an omnipotent and omniscient Deity then that itself takes away...

    Plot holes

    I had one comment ask about a 'missed detail' I intentionally left in the story. Which made me realize that maybe not every reader would see my intentions as foreshadowing for the future, or I have to explain it better.

    Strong Love Interest

    As I understand it, the first would be 'devoted love interests', when the would-be-partners feel strongly for the mc. The tag you mention would be if the MC wants to be with a strong person, since 'love interest' basically refers to the person the MC is romantically interested in. For example...

    Preferred reading?

    I like the "plot" heavy, kekw. But I'm not against 'plain" plots.

    As a reader, what do you find best in a novel?

    Characters knowing how to communicate unless physically unable to do so. The MC being their own person instead of a placeholder for the reader. Antagonists being more than [Protag's opposite gender]. I especially dislike the kind of stories in which all men are evil, or all evil characters are...

    ???????????????????????? Instinct, Language, and Abstract thought are three different things. Why you mix them is beyond me. For you to understand the world in the most basic of levels you need language. Abstract ideas do not bring understanding, because understanding is inherent to the capacity...
