    the Concept of Adventurers Guild

    I've always considered the adventurers guild as a reliable middle man. For example they hire someone to kill a dragon and give them 250 gold for the materials. The guild will then sell those materials for something like 400 gold and make a profit. The adventurers might be unable to find a...

    random prompt thought 4th wall

    Unless you had readers poll for what the main character should do in certain events I don't think this will work well. There's just too much of a difference between what readers might be that in the end it will likely end up as just the person falling for the protagonist with a little bit of...

    Do you guys found authors who use simple words and sentence boring in their stories?

    If you make me have to constantly look up words I'm going to drop the book. That's why I prefer simple words because they can still get the same message across as complex words. It's just that the complex words make you seem smarter to anyone smart enough to already know what they mean.

    Writing Suggestions for training scenarios for my MC to foreshadow his command ability.

    maybe have a hostage situation that devolves into something worse after hostages are rescued? That way he learns from mistakes and it's not repetitive.

    Any tips for writing first pov ?

    You're kind of supposed to constantly use those. You have to say what the character did from the character's perspective. You have to say what the character saw from the character's perspective. You're going to constantly use those exact words or some synonyms to those words but it's fine...

    Writing What are some brutal thing bullies can do to other kids? (Age 5-12)

    when I was younger a kid almost strangled me until another kid stopped him. Later in life when I went to a pool I was almost drowned by a kid a few years older than me until i luckily kicked him in the balls so he let go. Btw both of these kids were strangers so it wasn't like a joke gone too...

    What was the thing that inspired you to write.

    I never liked writing much and I still don't. I just started writing my books because I had nothing else to do and I was bored

    To connect with your readers

    If they couldn't feel connected with the world maybe they mean your world building sucks? That or you're trying to have your story be realistic but the events in the story are unrealistic and unlikely to actually happen in real life.

    As an author, would you rather

    I need to write multiple stories at a time because I think of different stuff when in different moods. So it is more efficient for me to write multiple stories that are different like one may have a more heavy tone while the other more light-hearted.

    Is it ok to write a story where the main character is suicidal?

    Nah I was just concerned if the site allowed it because some places will have the most fucked up shit but draw the line at suicide for some reason. I'm not too concerned about depicting them wrong because there are different reasons someone would want to commit suicide. My character is going to...

    Is it ok to write a story where the main character is suicidal?

    What the title says. I'm not going to actually have the main character commit suicide, but the character being suicidal is going to be used to explain a lot of their actions that differ from the norm.

    Whats the fastest red flag you've seen when reading

    The other day I was reading a book where the mc was actually decently smart and kind of ruthless. Then one chapter later they were trapped inside of an ordinary prison cell and did nothing to escape. They wanted to escape but remarked how powerless they were. This mc could summon fucking meteors...

    Magic is controlled by religious institutions

    I mean fantasy novels also have the trope of "The church is always evil." They're either corrupt, worshipping an evil god who wants to destroy the world, or just there in the background serving no good or bad purpose.

    Demanding/Enthusiastic Readers Pestering/Inquiring for New Chapters

    I haven't encountered anyone like that yet but I think I'd find it nice that people actually give enough of a shit about my books to harrass me over making more chapters. Besides I have no reason to meet their demands because they ain't giving me money to read my books so they can just put up...

    Schizophrenic Writing. You Too?

    I can't confirm if I actually have a mental disability but I've never really been able to feel emotions. I also have an extreme disinterest in people. So I have trouble writing friends talking to each other because I've never cared to talk to anyone like that. I also have trouble writing about...

    American school stuff

    Where I live in America we were already allowed to choose some electives by middle school. Only allowed to choose about 2-3 per semester. Classes like math, literature, science, and other stuff like that are required of course. Summer Break starts sometime from late May to Early June and ends...

    This is very specific but when I write fight scenes for my main character who only has one arm, I listen to One Winged Angel

    What is the fascination with litRPG?

    The problem with this though is that most don't do it too well in my opinion. The main character usually gets a unique or rare skill that completely makes the bad guys skills or stats not matter anymore. I have seen some novels do the leveling, skills, and classes done right to where it actually...
