    Names of characters.

    Actually, no. Just an introvert. The name was just too good to pass up on when I realised it existed.

    Names of characters.

    Theres a big problem with this approach... You first have to name your legendary hero / actress. How do you name them? :P When I look for names, I either look at the actual meaning of the names, or I use names based on the sound. For example, I really, really like the fictional name "Misa...

    Recommendations Reincarnated Into Main Character/Protagonist

    I would love to see this if it were done right. MC reincarnates as the protagonist, but is a useless spineless coward so has to ask all the side characters for help. It would make for a great comedy. Edit: sadly, I don't have any answers for the OP. I think "The Academy's Time Stop Player"...

    What Keeps You Going as a Writer?

    My hatred for harem stories and the unoriginal generic trash I see. (not on scribblehub. Talking about eastern webnovels/lightnovels)

    What's your workflow

    I write when I feel like it. The only thing I do consistently is proofread a chapter before releasing it. That and I've chosen to only work on one story, as my writing speed is so slow I struggle to write 1.5k words per week. Hence if I did write multiple stories, I feel like I wouldn't get...

    Help, how to balance a slime character?

    Given the description of the slime so far, it sounds like the slime-substance she's composed of is something like a non-flammable oil? If you want her to goto the ocean, she needs both immulnity to saltwater and particles (sand). Some specific chemical or compound might be one way to go: You...

    Mc gender

    I will read either male mc or female mc, but I definitely find myself trying to find books with male MCs.

    Drew this like last week then turned it into a cover cuz I’m lazy?✨

    Now that Tsuru mentions it, the person does sorta look like a she... I'm not sure what it is, whether its the black around the eyes or the face looking too smooth or something... Offtopic, but immersion is completely independant of any fantasy elements one may include in a story. Examples: any...

    Do you agree with this?

    Equating the brain to a muscle and assuming it works similar to it does make sense. Logic is often similar in different scenarios so even if the brain isn't actually a muscle, that doesn't mean it cannot work like one. However, just because the brain might work like a muscle doesn't mean it...

    So How Do Normal People Make Friends?

    I was going to write a long essay, but decided not to, so I wrote a different, medium-sized essay instead. This is gold. Many people metioned similar things along these lines, and I'm going to restate them again, in reverse-order to here. 1. A common goal (stated as an interest, but I'll go...

    Does readers want an Improved English than Simple English writing?

    I think grammer is more important than vocabulary.

    A true anti-hero protagonist

    This sounds like a villian to me. Although I guess anti-hero could be seen as a type of villian, so thats makes perfect sense. Although its not on this site, something like "I became the villian the hero is obsessed with" might be what you're looking for, if you haven't read that one already...

    Can someone help clarify these things for me?

    Plot is the collection of events that happen in the story. Every story has a plot, even Slice of Life stories. Drama pertains to deep emotions of characters. I want to make a small distinction between tags and genre. A genre is about the themes the novel explores. If there's romance in the...

    Discussion about "write for yourself" when writing romance.

    If you don't write harems or love triangles in the first place, this problem is automatically solved. Just another pro of not writing a harem story :cool:

    Named chapters, yes or no?

    Big yes. I think it can also help set the mood for the chapter.

    What's up with the MC always having some tragic background story? Views on this.

    I think so. Maybe? If you and I are both focusing on the "thematic" part, here. All stories have plots, even SoL stories. Those plots could be walking to school, attending a lesson, then going home on repeat, but thats still the plot. Lets say I'm reading a SoL highschool romcom. I'm reading...

    What's up with the MC always having some tragic background story? Views on this.

    I think it really depends on how its revealed. i've seen some stories where the tragic past is suddenly glued on halfway across the story, spanning multiple chapters and becoming its own arc. At best its tolerable. At worst it destroys the original premise of the story and turns it into an edgy...
