    Childhood friend love interest

    I don't think its necessarily a bad trope. If it fits the story, it fits the story.

    How to write a proper killing intent.

    I feel like the reason it feels edgy is because it's not really a physical thing, but people write it as if it were. In kidnappeed dragons, the MC's killing intent manifests due to a skill he has, and he uses it like a weapon. That makes it feel natural. Of course thats a pretty niche way to...

    Disgust is a feeling directed at something. What do you want your readers to be disgusted at?

    SmutHub: Real or Not?

    Since I find this topic interesting, I'ma give my opinion: Since there is a content filter, one could also test using the content filter for sexual content. eg. count x many stories, then filter out the ones with the content warning, then re-count. Also, One could check stories by those with...

    How do you organize your characters and ideas?

    I have an unpublished chapter that I jot a few notes down on. Currently, thats it. Everything else is in my head.

    The Agony of the 1-Star Review - Should We Rethink Harsh Critique?

    Written feedback is a privilege to recieve, but nobody has a right to recieve any. However, I definitely think its good to give feedback along with any one-star rating you give a series, unless everything you want to say has already been said by another person. I definitely think this is worth...

    The Agony of the 1-Star Review - Should We Rethink Harsh Critique?

    If a one star review is all it takes to make someone stop writing a novel, they probably didn't have a strong will to start to begin with. If you stop giving honest opinions because you are afraid you might offend someone, that's getting your priorities wrong. If someone is so easily offended by...

    Which of these titles sounds most interesting.

    I'm going to go through all of them and give my take as a reader ( with a bit of writer thoughts mixed in) Word of warning: I mainly like comedies and don't like heavy drama, hence the titles that sound more comical will be upvoted in my eyes with great bias. 1. I was supposed to design a...

    Your Thoughts on Game Walkthroughs

    The downside of walkthroughs is that you can only experience something for the first time once. Watching a walkthough can really dampen that feel of discovery.

    How would you describe this haircut? I'm stumped

    Messy hair. Hair that looked like it had been dragged through a hedge backwards, and hit a bird's nest along the way.

    Things you know that you wish you didn't

    Honestly, everything I know about Ori of the dragon chain. Or whatever that accursed series is called. The worst part is the only thing I know is the reviews and the rating it recieved on novelupdates. Those pieces of information alone are enough to question my opinion on freedom of speech.

    What one spell would you make if you're a wizard in a world with a soft magic system?

    I wasn't sure what spell I would make before reading this. But now I'm sure. A spell to purify things. Like this thread, or my eyes.

    Should Dragons have rights?

    Now this is a trail of thought I think is meritable to expand on. Firstly, lets assume = means "equals" (which it usually does, but in this particular case I'd suggest it doesn't). Then, dragon god = dragon dragon = god god, which I'd assume means "a dragon of the dragons" or "god of the gods"-...

    Should Dragons have rights?

    In terms of where dragons stand on the morality scale of things, I think the west tends to use them as evil creatures that need slaying, while in the east, dragons wer deified. Personally, I don't like sentient dragons. Dragons being sentient aren't what makes them cool. Dragons are cool...

    Do you think Scribblehub should ban ai generated novels?

    Now, the problem with this approach is that copy+paste is also a tool. The problem is how we use it and whos work do we use it on :P I guess it depends on how people use A.I. Im fine with either creating a tag or ban. Theres no harm in tagging it and it allows people to filter if they want to...

    What Do You Think About These Stories?

    If you are talking about moral ambiguity: I generally dislike moral ambiguity. White is white and black is black. Grey is just black thats been disguised well. Furthermore I dislike drama, and usually shades of grey come with drama. Making non-villian characters be jerks are fine, and making a...

    Writers: Pet Peeves When Reading Novels

    Indeed, this is (sort-of) the correct answer to the omnibenevolent-omnipotent argument. He can and had intervened- such as raising people from the dead, causing the rotation of the earth to stop for a day while Israelites wage war, and is legally entitled to because he still owns the universe...
