Though, I think I need to revise a bit. In my stories, in particular Eldritch, there's a form of karmic protection going for souls, and they get reincarnated. Since this seems pretty appealing long-term, I'd settle for this. Even though, it would probably suck being hopelessly reincarnated in...

Probably the title? "Slime Girl" is pretty simple, yet it's something that people would randomly type in the search bar. Also, it got an interesting premise that comes down in the early chapters. Yet back then I didn't even have a proper prologue nor was my writing all that great (so that may...

I guess it can work for an action story, but usually, for anything complex, readers are ought to follow out of interest, I wouldn't recommend it. You know "Tales of Zestiria"? The MC is such an insufferable goody-two-shoes. Worse, the universe bends itself to make it so that his preachings never...

First, they shouldn't be an asshole. Many go for an antihero, but I seriously cannot enjoy a puppykicker. And if they kill anyone who opposes them, refuses to help people at no greater inconvenience for themselves, and consistently make choices that are harmful to others, then I wouldn't know...

I guess it was pretty special for me when I had around three hundred readers after the first couple of weeks. Combined with staying quite consecutively on #1 trending. Given that I truly had no expectations, am a non-native English speaker, and was acutely aware that my writing abilities are not...

I mean, it depends as wha. As a normal human, there would be no real benefit or worse to it. Also, I'm lazy by nature, so without bodily boost, I'd not really have anything from it. There's an off-chance I could appeal to a goddess, but to bet on that seems irrational.

I took both indigo and purple, as the exact color is very hard to land on.

Don't have expectations. You are one of thousands of writers on a free website. The chance that yours of all of them is going to become the next big thing is conceited beyond limits. Don't bet on making it, but see it as a non-commitment try or a hobby. Otherwise, it's like you placed everything...

Swords (and smaller bladed weapons) are pretty standard weapons a character can always carry around, and may even sit down with. Something bigger, like a spear would have to be put aside indoors. You need to ask yourself how they get through the doorstep, or interact within boundaries in daily...

Happy Birthday!

Probably Iori from Eldritch. I know, taking the OP outer goddess isn't all that novel, but it's mostly for the fact that she got that sense of freedom. She can be anywhere and simply do or change things as she pleases. Which is why I love to imagine her entering certain story worlds and simply...

Dystopian stories where nothing gets better. Be it personally dystopian or societal, both are pretty terrible. I like the idea of overcoming odd and am usually empathetic to characters. However, the idea that they just get tortured more and more is pretty disturbing. Often, I read on, in the...

Probably a little off-topic, but the advice that helped me least was to have a concept. To only start writing if you got the whole thing planned through. Also, to treat the first story as training and abandon it afterwards to get started for real. Would probably never have started if I had...

To be fair, isekai is also pretty feudal Europe. Often rather poorly, but swords and stone castles are not an asian thing, and anything with fantasy races is usually derived from classic Western fantasy. In this sense, as my world is currently mostly place for different combinations of European...

Not exactly writing those myself, but stuff I noticed: 1. Messing up the numbers. Of course, that goes also for losing track of them, but I mean this more as in having a concept that works for the world. Numbers should go up (Although, alternatively, your system could just revolve around...

Me, sitting at currently 5 stories, not having some more on hold. :blob_whistle:

Do I need to feel bad about my 5k words a week? I don't manage to do much more (not including editing). And over Christmas and New Year I even took two weeks break from writing!:blob_teary:

Oh yeah, I absolutely sign that. The worst are those that refer to some sort of ethereal or mythical example everyone is expected to get. "So be calm like the Dusk Dragon, soaring over the radiance of the Sixth Heaven Sky, and as ravenous as the Aparian Beetle, gnawing on the roots of the world...

1. Female MC, yet more importantly, that it's not tropy. It needs to have a unique selling point in the synopsis. Something interesting that makes you engaged with thecharacter. Just saying "character X is going on adventures/having a romance situation/needs to achieve Y" is pretty...

What exactly does one have to do to get on that list? (Asking for a friend)
