I looked around to see if this had previously been discussed on the forums. I couldn't find a thread that showed it, so I thought I'd make it. Serious answer only, although feel free to go haywire in the replies. I don't think I need to explain it, but just in case: Before you stand two train...

Looking at the comments, I can see that what a lot of people call "wisdom", another calls "intellegence", and visa versa. I sort of thought there would be a general consensus but apparently no.

In reality, this makes no sense. Regardless, that doesn't make it automatically bad writing. When has reality ever been the standard for system novels? Since you have concepts such as agility, attack explicitly mentioned, it makes it sound like the novel you read is specifically in some...

Initium sapientiae timor Domini I'd associate intellegence with how much you know, and how much information your brain can store. I'd associate wisdom with the ability to make the right choice/answer based on what you know.

My opinion is that It's not the first paragraph that pulls people in. It's the title, the cover, and the synopsis. If the reader got as far as the first paragraph- even the first sentence- they are already reading the story. everything from your first sentence to the end of the story is simply...

I could be completely wrong here, but I think the idea from plotting "backwards" is the idea that your end-arc must have several conditions fulfilled for it to make sense, so then you include a plot that makes those conditions fulfilled. But that plot also requires conditions to be fulfilled...

Do you find yourself filling up your sentence with too many clauses? For example, a sentence like this one, right here, with a comma at the start, and it even has a conjuction, to boot!

What makes an action story tick? I believe all stories- or genres of stories- have something that makes them interesting. For comedies, its the gags. Simple enough. For romance (in my opinion) it's the small, lighthearted interactions between the ML and FL, although I suppose in general it's...

Harem is a bad genre.

I think its probably pretty well-known by now, tbh.

I don't like pineapple. I don't like Pineapple on pizza, but I do like the pizza underneath the pineapple!

Edit. Grit your teeth and overcome the trial before you!

"Just photons".... right. Imagine someone saying light is "just photons", as if there were no mystery or complexity in and of that statement itself. Knowing what light is in all its fullness would be enough of a superpower for me. To understand the creation of matter and antimatter through...

If Karma is real, and I stole all the villianess' luck, I guess that would make me the new bad guy? I guess that means I'm the one being guillotined instead.

I just need to nitpick this here... Sounds good. Yup. Totally agree. Technically, not ALL light, but we know what you mean. Hang on, if black holes absorb light, than there's no absence of light in a black hole... doesn't that mean its... not dark?

I did have a thought on this (and the body change thing) although since a god would be involved its sorta like god-no-jutsu or something. The idea is that different worlds might have different rules (for example, if magic exists, would humans there have organs that allow for the manipulation of...

Without a proper understanding of how the stats worked, I could only assume it would be safer to do a 1:1 ratio.

I wouldn't say I've seen many loser protagonists that I find relatable. In fact, I'm not sure I've seen a single one. I don't think loser protagonists are necessarily bad, just not relatable. I think one thing that needs to be clarified is you can have MCs that have trash talent, MCs that have...
