Depends on context. If a character's identity is important to the current perspective character, I'll have either the inner monologue or narration include it, to signify to the readers that the character's name actually matters. If a character's identity isn't important to the perspective...

This one is incredibly interesting, and I think deserves a longer form video with more in-depth explanations, as well as counter-examples and detailed analyses of examples and counter-examples, as I really think this one can reach a satisfactory answer to the question 'what is a villain' based...

Ok. I'm writing this response continuously as I watch the video and bringing up my response to those points as we go. Let's start us off. You've taken an awful lot of time to both harshly criticize the idea that 'what is a hero' is a subjective question, and then choose to rigidly define a...

Killed off my most interesting antagonist when I initially planned to despite it being the readers' favorite character. There was a lot of pointing at me for killing a good character off too early, and I've since learned that if you make an antagonist any sort of likeable, people will like...

Depends on the connections or lack thereof to Drow elves in D&D. If connected: As long as you have an explanation for why the distinction between dark elf and elf matters beyond 'racism', it's good. If unconnected: An explanation is required for why Dark Elves are called elves at all and not...

Most disgusting: Delvers. Rocklike skin, covered in corrosive slime (highly acidic so tummy no likey), eats rocks (the meat will be atrociously tasting and textured to humans and very likely toxic), it was sapient and just as smart as you were when you were alive so there's a bit of existential...

Me and my friend wrote a song (you can't see it because I don't have the file) about the concept of a car/hovercar/spaceship race at massively FTL speeds. So, the prompt is this. You are the pilot of a one-man Hyperlight spacecraft in the year 5XXX, participating in a Massively FTL Race from...

Dude for 50$/h... Goblins are probably less dangerous than prostitution in the long term if you have any sort of power-system in place beyond normal real world physics.

He's a guy with mysterious superpowers. They don't think that locking him in a cage would be safe at first. And if he's not the first mysterious guy or if he's got a particularly un-submissive mindset, it just... isn't worth it to keep them locked up. You'll still learn something by having him...

Murder waifu. May or may not be attractive in any way other than power bottom energy. This is irrelevant to whether this is a smut fic or not, that's just the vibe she needs to have IMO Relevant Experience: D&D Dungeon Master 8 years Exp, 6 sessions of a Monstergirls campaign with various groups.

TL;DR You mixed up onomatopoeia and sound phrases, but you did actually already answer everything you asked yourself but just didn't articulate the solution There's a lot I want to say. But, I will leave with only this You mention your language having: While leaving the implication on the...

Sensibly. As in, fabricate a scene wherein in makes sense in universe for a bunch of the characters assembled to die. Then, kill them.

Yes. Yes people do. Especially if you have any sort of smut/r-18/romance tag and it isn't also GL. Or especially if there's multiple perspectives and one of them is female.

150 chapters have past since I voiced my complaint Current Death count? 1. And they were resurrected within 1 chapter.

I don't really know what sort of discussion you're trying to start, because first and foremost I don't think your definition of edginess specifically even applies to at least two of the characters you mentioned despite me agreeing with you that they're edgy characters... And your evil...

I've tried to write characters and character dynamics and I've read online fics within this concept and it almost always results in a negative reading experience. Not as in, it makes the reader uncomfortable, as in it makes a large number of readers dislike the author on a personal level for...

You lost me at 'heroes are a/the psychological cornerstone of the storytelling experience'. While I can agree that heroism is indeed one of the core character traits that goes into many characters across many genres, the existence of a significant number of fictions not including heroes not as...

Re: The two guys talking about Overlord my beloved TL;DR Overlord used video gamey adventurers as part of the tragedy inherent in the setting, because it deliberately doesn't make sense to someone who doesn't see what that tragedy is, like the MC. That's why the antagonists know that the MC is...
