Of course, we must not forget the humble platypus. A mammal with the bill of a duck, the feet of an otter, the tail of a beaver, and the egg laying capabilities of non-mammals. Truly it is what most chimeras wish they could be--real. But in slightly less seriousness, yeah it kind of depends...

I'm going to back up Anon2021 and I'm going to be way more agressive than I should be because you all need to understand who you're competeing against in general. You guys aren't helping him when you redefine success. When you do that, you're pretty much just trying to make yourselves feel...

It's a midtier Shonen Jump property, so it has some good moments. The most standout thing about it for me is the power mechanism where the more the person understands their power, the more the power's rules change. Honestly, it's the only shonen jump title running right now that does that...

Shonen Magazine; the home of Fairy Tail and Edens Zero. Okay, let's see here. We have 8 series debuting this year... So, some of these series don't have translations, which kind of shows where interest is at. Of the batch, the one to look at is Atwight, a manga done by the creator of Your Lie...

I actually like the way one piece incorporates laugh into the character, and I like doing it for my series. A lot of times, I'll just describe it as maniacal, chuckle, or whatever else, but I have no problem writing (within reason) "Gwahaha" Bow-howhow Shurarara. Yeah, some of them are goofy...

Some don't forget. Some don't do this because of the weird trouble it causes for audio book narrators. A narrator having to go *hoooooonk* just doesn't feel good and the narrator might mention it, depending on certain factors. The alternative of "A car honked" is preferred in this case...

Yeah, Slow Life has had a major surge in manga adaptations, which is indictive of a massive surge in slow life web novels. It's only now that the trend is becoming noticeable because the slow life anime adaptations have started appearing. Slow Life is enough of a trend that it shows up in the...

I write the whole book first. Most times I start in the middle or at other critical scenes and then build around them. While doing this, I keep in mind that I want 2000 word segments if I'm doing a web serial. Once the book's first draft is done, I go back, do the editing, slot in any transition...

A lot of the anime in the doc are the most mainstream ones, so this will be easy. Some of the anime are below not for everyone though. Decadence Overlord (probably so logical you'll wish it wasn't) Rising of the shield hero Jobless Reincarnation Cautious Hero Infinite Dendrogram Psycho Pass...

HalfBlooming has the right take. You're being too literal. The term "Slice of life" does not mean what the individual words strung together imply. There is new meaning in the specific combination of words. Can you appreciate this fact? In a way, "Slice of Life" is jargon to people that know...

So the answer varies. So, I'll just tell you different approaches. 1. If you were on Amazon, the go to advice is to look at popular books in your genre and copy the style of their blurbs. This advice is especially good for people who don't really have a sense for what works and what doesn't. The...

Refrain from telling friends and family unless they're actually interested. It's not worth it, you put them in a bad position, and you screw up the amazon algorithm. I believe Amazon also advises against this. Here's what you can do from best to less effective: Have a good cover and blurb...

For marketing purposes, it's an isekai. There's actually a manga I follow (cant recall the name) where the protagonist jumps from one fantasy world to another. That's an isekai and its marketed as such. Mind you, you might get purists saying no, but the counter is to say that it's a new...

Okay, I believe that you're thinking like an artist and not like a marketer. If you want to improve numbers, you need to think like a marketer. So far, your reactions make you look like an artist that doesn't understand how attracting readers work. Everything about you makes it seem like you're...

Lots of money.

Ask for a sample contract. Second, are they a reputable publisher? Do they have a company website? What's their distribution plan? Are they going on ACX? If money's getting involved, what's the profit split. Can they explain to you how much ACX is taking and how much you're getting...

Some of this advice is lacking. I've used world anvil and I've used other apps as I've looked for something that wasnt a pain to use. So, first thing that has to be cleared is, are you the type of person that NEEDS to keep things organized? Are you writing a long story? Are you writing a...

I thought this was pretty high energy, writing. In terms of a style, I didn't spot anything that stood out to me as "bad." The bullying was pretty well written. With how fast the writing moves, it definitely made it feel overwhelming which was good. There was only one minor issue. This line is...
