    When to start wrapping up a story?

    Fantasy?

    Isekai nowadays is just fantasy with self-insert modern MC. Ideally "isekai" stories must make sure that the MC's status as otherworlder is making impact on him/her as a character. But that's ideal. In reality, that much effort is often wasted. Most of them were just trying to gain reader with...

    Multiclass without a limit is complete BS

    I agree. Its sad that writers dont even create some coherent and consistent rules in place. Even if your protagonist are rule breakers, with many other main characters that also rule breaking different things, you need to keep the balance with most characters. You cant just make...

    Would you pay up?

    $100 is very cheap price to see a literal magical girl, or to be helped by magical girl. Most people who lives in the world where magical girls exist, rarely see them physically in real life, due to the nature of their appearance, there must be "hard to survive" scenarios. Magical girl, if she...

    You associate it with the object of that color, with the expected knowledge of the reader and the expected knowledge of that character. It must be within the reader's knowledge, and within the character expectation that the reader expect. For Naruto fans, they know the color of Rasengan For...

    What genres of music do you listen to while writing/reading?

    In my humble opinion, I dont think it's a good habit. Especially when I'm trying to set the tone for the story, Listening to music makes me more biased with the music I'm currently listening while reading what I wrote. I create the story expecting the tone to match the music I'm listening...
