Note also that an "evil MC" may not always be a villain, per se. Several popular comic book characters are sociopaths who just happen to do evil crap but for "the right reasons" - John Constantine, The Punisher, Lobo, early Wolverine (he really mellowed with age), Deadpool. Sometimes it is...

Villains can be quite entertaining to read or write about - though it is often more satisfying when the villain winds up being a good guy in the end (c.f. the movie MegaMind for one example), or winds up stopping someone worse, or just being a total cad who winds up usually doing kind of the...

Jojo? Actually not familiar with it beyond the trailer on Netflix.

I try to do at least one per story per week. Usually two (generally one late Monday or some time Tuesday, one late Thursday or some time Friday) per story but sometimes only one, occasionally another goes up during that week but at no set time. Lenth has been very variable. Diamond in the...

Nothing yet but hope to change that soonish.

In most cases a different character becomes the protagonist to fill in the void. One story I am working on has the planned death of the initial MC around chapter 100 (currently in the 50s), so that his children get to take center stage and his "co-leads" shift to advisory roles for the next...

Physical books? Redwall and Circle of Light come to mind. No human characters at all. There was also a novel called "Grunts" about orcs who stumble on modern weaponry. On this site, Reborn as a Demon Hat looks kind of cute, and there is Skeleton King.

POV stuff can be tricky. I have one story where part of a chapter is told from the POV of one character's cat... was a fun little challenge, but I would not recommend doing a lot of it.

I know I have several of both but the pair that comes to mind first is humor. My strength is "unplanned" humor - finding silliness in moments where it may not be appropriate normally, or where it may derail things a bit but feels kind of natural (at least to me). My weakness is PLANNED humor...

Ah yes, Sanity. Sanity and I are old, old friends. We shook hands and parted ways on the best of terms decades back...

A Revenant would be an upper tier form, I think, and one devoted to revenge. Zombies come in multiple "flavors" already - the still-living Zombi (a person with their ... personality, really, and any sense of pain erased by chemicals, possibly enhanced by magic), the classic zombie (simply an...

Hey, it took me two weeks and three chapters to get to that point with one story (which, earlier today, was #13 on Trending with only seven chapters posted and 8 about to go up), and three weeks, five chapters for another (which pretty much stalled at that level, is finished on my Google Drive...

You answer your own question though - if the highest you can get to is 100 feet, then the highest you can get to is 100 feet. The cordakinetic (Rope Manipulation | Superpower Wiki | Fandom) can only send the rock that high, no matter what tricks you pull to get it there. The tricks above -...

The synopsis should be taken out and shot - mixes tense, and seems more an "Author's Note on what I'm doing" rather than a teaser designed to draw a reader in. The last sentence is really good for this - keep it and try to work up something simpler and in a single tense that leads to it. A...

I have seen this work on Kickstarters but never seen anyone try it on Patreon. Might work best as a contest or something - open a window for anyone at a certain tier to design a character, and have every paid member vote on which ones (Say the top five or top 10) should be used, and maybe one...

This is why my one attempt at a "System" novel does not have mental stats, just physical ones; you're either crippling the character by making it too low, or yourself by making mental stats too high IME.

Mine will win because it fights dirty...

Depends on which world... :D There is a good deal of detail but a lot of it is superficial on the stories posted here so far. Among the ones I have not posted, I have another variation of the fantasy world I've been tweaking since '82 (the original version was destroyed in 2001 for...

Forgot about the International Novels classes I had in college - one on Caribbean Literature and one on African Literature. Ran into some very interesting stuff there, though both also tended to be quite depressing at times (these were English translations - though some needed very little...

That's a little subtle - missed it myself twice. Try: Dual Levelling: I level up with my clones | Scribble Hub The concept reminds me of an old RPG called "Paranoia" - each character begins play with six clones, and most games end with maybe three players having one clone each left alive...
