Prologue is a bit of narration, set before the main story, often featuring characters which won't come into the story until later, or who didn't survive into the story, but had a big impact. If it sounds like a synopsis, you have a massively bad case of telling and not showing. I haven't read...

It's pretty cool how chinese names carry their meaning openly (it's charmingly autistic, lol). English names have their meaning buried ten layers deep, so most of us never know what our names mean (I'm a light deer, for instance, which is not obvious at all). As for the subject, use the...

?‍♂️ Given that some of the greatest writers in the English language have done so (Charles Dickens in Great Expectations, for instance), I don't think bad is the right word for it. It is certainly out of style, at the moment, but it can be done. That said, I think even he avoids using "you"...

The value of the "Narrator protagonist" is to offer a view at a character who is meant to feel alien/outside the reader. Holmes and Watson being a perfect example. Yes, you aren't an English doctor from the late 1800's, but you are substantially more alike to him than you are to a mystery...

In normal circumstances I would consider it deranged to evaluate whether or not to read a story based on the chapter count, rather than on the appeal of its premise. Even with some allowances for the unique "content grind" model of WN, it is still rather a bit strange. Essentially zero of these...

Even if well done, it might not ever be popular, but you could still have fun writing it. Not everything you do has to be for mass market appeal.

It rather depends. A lot of classic fiction is done from an omniscient pov frame, which is functionally similar to multiple pov in many ways. The more modern standard is third-person limited, but even then the narrative sometimes needs to move away from the MC to show the audience something...

Also a good lesson for writing programs.

This is absolutely not a question to resolved with a survey or some kind of literary rule. Any given story is likely to contain dozens of time skips of all manners of lengths, varying from hours, to hundreds of years, to literally until the end of time (eg. The Last Question).

Considering that most stories (especially WN) are horribly overwrought anyway, don't think of this so much as creative burnout, as your mind doing you the favor and cutting your darlings for you. If you don't think the scene worth writing, it probably wasn't worth reading either.

You stole my rec, you scoundrel!

Hey man, that anime was hilarious! Stupid as hell, of course, but that's just part of the comedy.

I feel like there was a missed opportunity for someone to say, "Draw me like one of your french girls."

Good luck bro! I believe in you!!!

Somehow, there are two people following me. I'm not sure what to do with this information, so I guess I'll just try being polite. Hi People! How are your respective days going?

Well, that's a weird catchphrase, but if it works for you, I guess we'll allow it.

I love saying "Kid's these days" when someone does something dumb or silly, doubly so if they're older than me. I probably have a few others, but that's the first one that came to mind.

Congrats! May your future be filled with many more :D
