    Thinking up the way your characters fight: fighting styles

    Yeah, a random discussion but hey, it could be interesting. If your characters are written to enter a fight, how would they fight? While The Kaimon Tales is basically comedic in general, a lot of the characters there are most likely skilled or tough to get into a brawl. Looking at my four main...

    Isekai in sexist world

    I'm pretty sure I did read a manga that's kinda similar in this premise. A high school girl and a guy she knows are killed by a truck accident. While the dude becomes an adventurer, she becomes a prostitute since the world they're in doesn't give women much rights. ...Can't find it at the...

    Writing Deconstructing the 'Isekai' genre and your personal opinions

    ...I am now reminded of Isekais where: 1. The protagonist is quickly outed as an outcast to society (either by circumstances or the world is actually full of terrible people). 2. The classroom Isekais, just to make harems, red shirts, and the occasional jerks (from dicks to utter psychopaths...

    When you're not actively working on your next chapter...

    Fine responses. Maybe one day I'll build up an actual short story with these snippets of dialogue of mine but so far, it's just adding more to my characters. ...Like my character Nagase on occasion writes some very unusual fics in her spare time and shares them with her boyfriend for one.

    When you're not actively working on your next chapter...

    Do you get into the habit of writing random short scenes involving your characters just for the sake of it? Like it frankly doesn't add to the main story itself but it's still something? I admit I got a bit of writer's block...Or just being stupidly busy (retail in 2020 is hell, enough said)...

    Recommendations New novel to read

    New, very short atm, but should be amusing starring a bunch of teenagers doing weird stuff. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/209329/the-kaimon-tales/

    How do you feel about people giving your story a bad rating for no apparent reason?

    That might be it. ...But I could had sworn it was 3 ratings before suddenly back to 2 but I'll take the site's word for it.

    How do you feel about people giving your story a bad rating for no apparent reason?

    When I first posted my story, got a 5 star after a few hours in. Okay, that was nice. Several hours later, someone gave me 1 star. ...Okay then. I kinda shrugged and after another 5 star, I'm not sure what happened but that 1 star actually disappeared. ...The ratings are weird, just to admit.

    Protagonist Strong from the Start Tag: personal take from this?

    That's a good one. Because again there's a debatable half truth to it. I mean the MC certainly is strong physically but definitely nowhere near as experienced to match to really make full use of it. This tag is interesting because it's not as clear cut as assumed. Again, "strong" could really...

    Anyone else let 1 or 2 bad reviews knock their confidence?

    And of course, there's that. I like that it points this out that something needs to be ironed out...But it really helps lower the rather condescending tone (even if it wasn't trying to be) if it was more specific and...Well, helpful. Otherwise yeah, this kind of thing is very irritating.

    Protagonist Strong from the Start Tag: personal take from this?

    Thanks for the replies. I honestly forgot there is an Overpowered Protagonist tag. I guess the more accurate term might be experienced than simply strong. But yeah, there's a lot to interpret that tag to be honest.
