    10 Years To Save The World

    Agreed. 2020 has basically treated us like a snuff smut novel.

    10 Years To Save The World

    In 10 years time a catastrophe will befall your planet. Somehow, you and you alone are both made aware of this and must deal with it. Your character can have at most, 3 different methods of choice to subvert this catastrophe bordering on supernatural, magical or mechanical. Just something I...

    lol that's a reference to the sweat shop known as Web Novel. They lock people into contracts which steal away their rights for pennies and force them to write at least 1,500 words a day for 3-5 years at a time. You can't make this stuff up.

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    I'll just say that you probably aren't taking advantage of the system. I noticed how to get to trending quite a while ago, I just never said anything. In general though, it has more to do with the tags you use (and # of them) and consistent posting. The authors who realize this and do weird...

    Why is every almost fantasy adventure story with a female MC gender bender?

    As one such author I don't even think my story applies to "gender bender", however -- readers do. Being reborn as a woman means you're now a woman . For me my reasoning was simple. I want to explore sexuality from a different perspective. In the fiction I use this technique in, the MC has a...

    Fair enough. I could also be failing to explain properly. There's a great deal more to it, I just didn't feel like referencing the fiction to provide it since it is also a mesh of litrpg and system genre.

    Cultivation Novels

    I've never read that fic, so I wouldn't know. The most obvious one for me was that skin didn't necessarily improve absorbtion, but rather the body overall became tougher. More resistant to damage, piercing, etc. By the end of the body temperament process it would take an extremely strong force...

    I see. This one was different in the aspect that the "ranks" as you call them weren't dependent on body tempering or enhancement. Those were just steps you could do at any time, and they also helped the amount of energy you could contain safely in your body. So for example, once the person...

    To my knowledge he stopped working on all of his fictions but one. I believe that's why there's only that many chapters.

    Cultivation Novels

    It was clearly explained, for one. Most are just weird scaling descriptions that are needlessly confusing.I don't want to share too much because the system closely ties in with his survival at a certain point. It explained the process as outer and inner cultivation, going from skin to bones to...

    The twenty-thousand word chapter.

    20,000 is a practical goal in a week. If I really, really try I can do about 30,000 to 50,000 words in 3 days. But I have to really want it,and also have a bit of planning. Also, 20,000 words...is a light novel, story or short story territory. I'm not so sure using the word chapter is really...

    Empty Yourself

    For me, my writing suffers when I'm under too much pressure. Mind you, I write 3 chapters a day (down from 6) and sometimes still occasionally do 6 a day. As long as I can remove that mental pressure, I'm good. Although, there are some days where I really can't articulate for crap. Still, I...

    Cultivation Novels

    Btw those phrases are common in Mandarin language. They are like expressions of "wassup" and "wtf?" to americans. In other words it's part of the genre I believe. It's like kawaii, tsundere to japanese culture in fact.

    Cultivation Novels

    In my mind it's an emphasis on either challenging fate, the heavens or reaching the pinnacle (with vague references of how to go about that). Usually the main character has to cultivate in order to grow. There's one I saw that was a bit of a mix between both (Wuxia and Xianxia) and it was...

    Reviews (Programmer Edition)

    Hello, I was thinking on ways that the review system could be "fixed" to prevent griefing and I'd like to share my ideas. What inspired this was a recent profile post and recounting my own experiences. I had a reviewer once who checked out my stories. I got a 4.3 of 5. Not bad right? Except...
