    Here's a question for everyone

    I prefer not to ask myself such deep questions. The last time I did such a thing, my brain hurt.

    Here's a question for everyone

    I barely care enough to know how many 'parts' there are to Croatia... which I think there are 3... or 4? Maybe 5 if you include the capital. Anyway, the amount of how many multiple persona's Americans can have is important to me why?

    When describing a character what should I mention.

    I would advise not wasting too much of your efforts on describing non-mandatory parts of your characters. Most readers will tend to skip non-dialogue parts of stories anyway and those that do read everything will likely be interested in other plot hooks rather than a characters eye color...

    Man, Mankind, or Humanity?

    I'm pretty sure there was a meme video made about that LotR reference in particular lmao

    "Life's precious" rule

    I don't really see the whole 'kill or don't kill' as a question of being human or not. Humanity is a falsehood in its own right. Why do we consider a werewolf who does not give in to instinct to have regained their 'humanity'? In my view, that werewolf only denied his humanity by not acting like...

    Tips For Writing In 1st Person?

    Basically put; focus yourself on the 'point of view' of the character and don't mention things they wouldn't/aren't supposed to know just because you want the audience to know it and you should be fine. If something needs to be spoken that the character can't know yet, just add a little extra...

    Man, Mankind, or Humanity?

    I don't really give a crap, as I will use both when required. Humanity has its uses in objective speak, but Mankind/Man fits a lot more into dramatic jargon. For instance: "The sons of Man shall perish." "Humanity shall perish." Might just be my personal preference, but I like the first...

    Do you guys always skip a certain song when it starts playing and never remove it, or am I just weird?

    I have no clue what to say here tbh. Primarily because this definition of skipping songs fits neatly into my entire youtube collection. Some of the oldest songs, I've heard more than a thousand times, so I just skip em for the newer ones, until the latter is inevitably added to the former...

    Tribal mentality

    This might put me in a naïve light, but the answer is still yes. Reason being that I am a heavily antisocial person to whom relationships are a thing of convenience, as easily thrown aside as outdated equipment. The only time I would not help is if I decide that this friend is more trouble than...

    Tribal mentality

    To be quite frank, I'm not someone that gives much care for the opinions of strangers. If I consider someone a friend and they're doing something bad to another person, I'm still going to 'help' them.

    Tribal mentality

    I don't really care about tribes. You attacking someone I'm personally invested in gives me all the casus belli I need to start a conflict and that is all I'll ever need.

    What is your max chapter limit?

    There's only so many paths that a character can take before they inevitably either die or become gods gods god + infinity. I would say, around the 200 chapter mark I forget who is who unless they're a regular part of the story.

    How many cliches does a thing need before it's cliche.

    It honestly depends on what you see as a 'cliche' in the first place, since that will be a subjective opinion unique to every person. Things one person may see as cliche will definitely not be cliche to others. As for how much cliche is required before it becomes noticeable, I think that's a...

    Some ideas

    If the MC goes to the supermarket, maybe he should meet up with the transmigrated demon lord who he thought he killed in his isekai world but actually the demon lord used his overrated 'death' to isekai himself to the hero's world of Earth, where he/she is now living peacefully.

    Using same name in story writing.

    I feel like its okay so long as the two same-name characters have fairly distinct personalities or are clearly a comedic relief.

    Eye contact

    Making eye contact while talking to the person or when they're talking to you is basic politeness and good manners. Maintaining eye contact longer than absolutely required is fucking creepy.

    Moons in novels

    For me, I'll always have at least one moon because I don't have the scientific knowledge on how a planet's ecosystem would be different without a moon to affect the planet.

    Writing I need guides and tips for writing a Battle Academy novel

    That's exactly what I'm saying. I just don't see a megacorporation ever getting that much power in a world fighting a defensive war. People would just take what they need to defend themselves, money be damned.

    I'm not sure how realistic a corporate government is during a war, but suit yourself.
