    How would you deconstruct the “Abused and Neglected Male Reader” concept?

    For me, the logical conclusion would be a whiny loser that no one would take seriously.

    Pet Peeve Tropes and how to deconstruct them

    For me, it's "If You Kill Him, You'll Be Just Like Him". I have a plot point in my story where the heroes capture the villain instead of killing him. Their reason: they're still rookie adventurers attending school. Killing him without permission would severely bite them in the ass later.

    Feedback on a quote.

    The setting is sci-fi with fantasy elements. I know, it's a nod to RWBY. I have an equivalent to Japan. Thanks for the feedback.

    As the title suggests, I need some feedback from this quote. It's from a worldbuilding codex I wish to write in the future.

    How to make a deconstruction parody of a character?

    I see what you did. Damn. NTR? Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. There's no 'last of their kind' thing in my story, so their relationship would permanently drop.

    How to make a deconstruction parody of a character?

    This trope is why I don't like Jin: Entitled to Have You: Jin's infatuation with Hitomi has shades of this. The manga attempts to justify it by depicting humans as on the verge of extinction and as the only human female, it's only natural that she become his girlfriend. Unfortunately, Jin's...

    How to make a deconstruction parody of a character?

    That's the thing, I want to write this guy as an asshole, so it’ll be cathartic when he finally gets put in his place.

    How to make a deconstruction parody of a character?

    Expy - A character that was deliberately crafted to be very similar to another character in a different work, but is not intended to be exactly like the inspiration. Kemonomimi - People that look mostly human but have actual animal ears. Hope that clears up any confusion. I don’t get it.

    How to make a deconstruction parody of a character?

    The character I'm writing is an Expy of Jin Mazama from Join the Pack! Seton Academy. Jin might be the most unlikable MC I've ever seen and the reason for being racist is stupid as hell. For an animal expert, he stupidly tried to fight bears with an icicle to protect a wolf girl Holding a...

    What if people with O type turn into fast zombies, while anyone with AB turns into a generic slow-ass zombie?

    Expanding upon my monsters

    The Umbra's defining feature is their redding-orange skin and armor platting. For example: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/radiant-cross-voyage/images/b/b1/Cipactli.png/revision/latest?cb=20211229050227

    Expanding upon my monsters

    I'm currently writing my story with these monsters as recurring antagonists. I need advice and feedback so I can better explain them properly. In the world I'm writing, the Umbra Monstras are bloodthirsty, ravenous monsters driven by base instincts, inhabiting various parts of Aion and in their...
