I had time and will to make a story to reply this thread. Check it out if you feel like it. Dunno if link will work, but here is the story: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/610731/why-so-many-gender-benders-in-isekais/

In fantasy, whenever there is some kind of alien being - such as a dragon or a demon or what not, they usually have some humanization ability. Same goes for sentient objects and their spirits. Especially when it concerns nonhuman protagonists. Another thing here is that humans often are...

Is believably even a word? Anyway. This is the final form of the current author general. The quintessence of all the threads that preceded it. Bow to it and be grateful.

Continuing the current forum fad of asking how to write believable males/females/humans/protagonists/nuffians/shuffians/living trees and dead animals, I wish to ask how to write a believable villain.

In many stories where the protagonist has some kind of cheat, golden finger or what not, unless the author is so creatively bankrupt that they can't even bother to do that and just write whatever, or if the story is coming to the end, the story ends up servicing the cheat more than the...

My favourite rss reader Feeder, after an update, had a very disgusting-looking makeover and I wanted to downgrade. It didn't work, so I impulsively deleted it so I could install an apk of a younger version. I didn't back up my feeds. I lost them all. Well, it isn't actually so bad as my nu and...

huh?

now this is interesting. I don't really read books from my country, nor am I familiar with the tropes, but I now kinda wish to find out. https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/quirks-of-the-fantasy-novels-of-your-country-s.155358/

An mc that is always given a kick to the balls by the author (if the mc (still) has them). I want a story where mc suffers and suffers. Preferably permanent disabilities (like loss of limbs) and permanent sacrifices (like death of loved ones) are in the mix too. Edit: also, please no harem...

I had an idle talk with someone today. As a first class closeted introverted misanthropist, I don't talk to others much. So the talk went something like this: "So, wanna talk about anything?" "What exactly?" "Do you watch TV shows, for example?" "I don't" "Read books?" "Yeah. But they aren't...

In nuf in forums we have a longer link bar (e.g in a feature request it'd be: forums>novelupdates>suggestions and bug reports), while here we have only <feature requests, which is not as convinient.

so this thread in nuf: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/aroace-in-a-reverse-harem.154822/ and thought that I want to read it too.

Either this^^^, or cultivators being magical girls/boys. I am severely sleep-deprived and not capable of stringing coherent sentences together as of this moment, so youbwill have to do with this. Nya, for some reason

Say, if there is a story that goes something like this: fmc transmigrates into the body of a wife of a very hot and very rich man but he doesn't love her (taken from one of the million of such chinese novels), you'd expect that the happy ending would be the husbamd warming up to her and them...

Having read the article, I feel like it has said a lot of things I felt but did not have the ability to articulate. Some delicious hot takes here. le article

A video I randomly saw online, thought it would be good to share https://odysee.com/@AlphaNerd:8/the-joy-of-algorithms%2C-with-bot-ross:d

not just well disciplined, I mean actually ascetic, like refusing to eat good food and wear good clothes on purpose, and going around to beg for alms or something

I used to think that light novels were a certain subclass of novels published in Japan, but, while reading "letter to David Skrbina, April 5, 2005" by Uncle Ted, I came across the following line: and I don't like assuming things, but I doubt that THE Ted Kaczynski would be so much of a weeb to...

I read this today, and I can't help but agree. I now unashamedly declare myself a conspiracy theorist and, as one, I am morally obligated to try and convince as many of you as I can to join me. - Ted Kaczynsky, the industrial revolution and its consequences

I revisited my favourite novel recently, and when I finished it again, I felt so empty and sad, yet gratified. It was a very bittersweet experience to read the last few pages, it felt like saying goodbye to a long-time friend, or moving to a completely different place, to open a new chapter of...
