To be honest, I'm in agreement for the most part with you. If a chapter is too short, then it feels like the author hadn't actually put in much thought into their story. MC walks into a building that's important, but doesn't describe anything. Am I supposed to guess what it looks like? What...

Generally, my inspiration seeing something and going "I wonder what it would be like if this was different". It could be a single scene, or an entire story. Like "what if The New Gate was a party instead of just one OP guy?" or "what if Kuma Kuma Kuma bear crossed with Tondemo Skill de Isekai...

Maybe I wasn't being clear enough. My Star Wars and GoT were examples of trying to subvert expectations going awry to be specific. It's fundamentally a type of surprise reveal, though they had bigger issues beyond that. I was trying to use less concise but mainstream examples rather than more...

The trick is to do the reverse. Don't try to make an epic reveal or something, but just sprinkle little clues here and there, then do the reveal however it takes to make it natural (not subdued, but just doesn't feel like it came out of nowhere). The point isn't to shock your reader, the point...

No matter how corny the premise is, it's what you do with it that determines it's quality and appeal. If you really think about it, Star Wars is space monks fighting generic evil and bringing peace to the galaxy. LoTR is chosen one goes and unites the world against evil and becomes king while...

Strange. I just changed it once and it stuck. Are you sure you're logged in when you change it?

I'm not really for a down vote, as it's pretty abusable, but an established practice for bad advice and harmful posts would be nice. That's more of a community thing than a feature thing though. Presuming it doesn't get abused either.

This isn't about changing the fonts for reading stuff. I know how to do that if I was interested in such a thing. What I, and I'm presuming the OP, meant was for the ability to change things like font and size to add some more creative twists to our writing. It's pretty common for a demonic...

As an addition to this, being able to change font size would be nice. Just the stuff available in the forums is enough.

If you're talking about writing while holding a full-time job/studies, then it's a bit difficult. At the very least, I find that I don't have much spare time between writing and working, but my story needs a lot of time invested in it in terms of research, checking consistency, and straight out...

A surprisingly rare one that I personally enjoy is the middle management stoked up on too much coffee as they desperately try not to get fired, only making everything much, much worse :blob_popcorn: That said, some of my favourites are the ones you get to discover their reasoning, and in their...

It's a manga rather than a WN, Usagi Drop is a classic, though the parts after the time skip is pretty controversial. It's pretty telling that every adaptation ended without it. I enjoyed it, but I'm not easily offended. Otaku no Musume-san is similar, as is My Girl . While there's no actual...

tell Tony and have him manually remove it. Only other way to remove a review is to report it as far as I know.

You'd be amazed how much things work from other media in writing. I've spent a ton of time going through movie and game analysis videos and writings, and it's amazing how much of it applies to writing if you just turn it on it's head a little. Every Frame A Painting's Jackie Chan video comes...

Personally, there's quite a few factors beyond simply how much I'll expect to enjoy the series based on title, cover, description, tags, reviews, etc. There is update frequency, how recent the latest update was, reliability (to a lesser degree if the story is long enough), as well as word...

That's a great way to describe it. At the very least, it does cover how it's done in most stories when you strip out the lore. For me, magic is a force or energy that doesn't exist in the real world, but change the world in tangible ways.

I have a habit of thinking of "what ifs" way too much. What if there was a conversation about this? What if this changed in this situation? What if this scenario had this addition? What if this story had this different angle? All those what ifs circle around in my brain, and sometimes I end up...

To be honest, I think this is also a way to cope as well, despite what some others might say. Just being able to let out your stress and not feel bad about yourself is a form of coping, and while it won't fix your problems no matter how much you do it, it certainly helps to give you the leeway...

I actually really like this idea and hope someday you'll get the strength to finishing it or rewriting it. If you're worried about people getting scared away from too much depressing bits at the beginning, you can always spread it out. Just have a bit at first, then reveal more and more through...
