They don't have to be fun. But if they are not fun then they need give a feeling of accomplishment or pride in order for the person to justify playing it. For an example just look at achievement hunters. The people who play games on console or pc just to get as many achievement points as they...

On a different site I once had an author praise one of my comment and give it reputation, while calling another one of my comments "short sighted and if you can do better then right your own story." I have never before been given reputation and blocked by the same person within one day. Some...

Their writing history. Usually people don't remember the author's name on stories. If they do its not for good reasons. One such author for myself had multiple good ideas for stories but they never got past the 15 chapter mark. If the author has a number of stories listed in his fiction section...

Mythril sounds like a metal that can be adaptable depending on the type of magic used to create/forge it. In some fantasy Witchsteel is metal that is focused on dark magic and curses. I always thought that Witchsteel sounded like corrupted mythril. For which is stronger I think it depends on...

A lesser known one. The anthrax leak in the Soviet Union during the cold war in the research city of Sverdlovsk. Happened from bad maintenance in the air duct system. If the wind would have been blowing in the opposite direction towards the city the deaths would have probably been in the 10s of...

I don't remember the name but I remember reading a cultivation story(think on RR) where the mc was a Jiangshi. Think the story started out with him being murdered and his female friend being abused by the adopted teacher. Pretty sure it went into the whole demonic/undead cultivation thing real...

Native english speaker here. There are a good amount of words the every day speaker either doesn't know or have heard it before but doesn't know the meaning. Good rule of thumb is that as along as it makes sense and the sentence flows well it is ok. Example is the double negative rule that I did...

Kung Fu Panda. . . . . Since most xianxia is based on a mystical version of China in the past and that is pretty much what Kung Fu Panda is.

So the only two that comes to mind is Reverend Insanity and Demon's Diary. Reverend Insanity is more of a solo demonic cultivator. He was a former Demonic Sect Master but I don't think he ever started one again. Demon's Diary a demon sect. However, I will warn that I never finished it. I think...

One thing people need to realize is that the people behind all these sites are playing a balancing game. You need both the readers and the writers. The more content you have on a site means more expenses. For a free site on the internet how do you make money to cover those expenses or turn a...

So first off I would say if you don't want the readers to correct spelling or other problems like that then you don't want to improve your craft. Some writers are just doing this as a hobby and that is fine. However, others writers are trying to make this a starting step in a future career. The...

Character sheets. Figure out who your main characters are as people and then think about where you want to take them in the story.

It really depends on the type of power, max level/stats, and power level jumping. Type of power goes with what the mc will be fighting with. Some are easy to define. Some are not. I think an important part of this is how mixed the powers are in the would. So in cultivation stories everyone has...

Personally I say drop around 5 chapters at once and then do every other day releases so people see it in the feeds. If I see a story that sounds interesting and it only has 1 chapter, I usually just bookmark it and come back later when it has enough to get a feel for it.

My opinion on making harems work in stories is to first deal with world influences. What I mean by that is to make harems somewhat acceptable in the outside world. So for example a statement in the story like, "It is common for the powerful nobles of the world to have a harem or group of...

Because people grew up. Because when people get older bonds of friendship aren't what most people are searching for. A 40 year old man trying to find friends is strange, but a 40 year old man trying to find romance is acceptable. For games and media they probably assume that most of us have...

I say either time travel or echos of the past. Time travel I don't think I necessarily have to explain. Echoes of the past I think would work well if that many people actually died there. Could say something like all the death cursed the land and made it haunted. That people report seeing...

Personally with the amount of stories that are around I would say that you really aren't going to be perfectly unique. There is always going to be something in common with others. I think still to this day one of the most unique I read was actually a combination of two other stories. The author...

First off you started with the worst 3. The hobbit trilogy has a bad rap for a reason. Secondly, whenever I talk with someone about the LOTR movies and ask the question of which is your favorite; the first movie is pretty much never picked. The first movie is the band getting together. The...

For most stories what you are looking for is hard. Most of the time if the two systems are together once magic hits a certain point its pretty much the same as Xianxia. Either that or the author says it is magic but its just another cultivation story with the same cliches. The only one I could...
