Your definition of writing style for 'conventional' novels seem to veer towards the literary than what would be called more... mainstream? I might be reading you wrong but Just a reminder that beyond the literature that you either read in high school for class or hear praise for from all the...

It really depends on the mood/tone of story you're going for. The most common tense used in narrations is past tense though-- most books (novels) are written in past tense, which means using present tense can give your story another edge, if your story so calls for it. That's really up to you...

(this is late, sorry!!) From a purely editing standpoint, you have a lot of repetitions in your paragraph structures/word choices, like using the word "notice" as the main verb three times in three separate sentences within the same paragraph. Unless you're doing this on purpose for the specific...

with all kinds of media, I'd say there are stuff in your head that is best expressed as one medium over the rest. Some stories are best told written, some scenes transfer better visually, etc. I think really wanting to capture what's in my head in what I think is the best form for it to be...

As someone who writes at most 3k a week, yo, that's insanely good. Pat yourself on your back and let yourself feel proud!!! :D

As another fan of slice of life, here comes some more lowkey recommendations! :D Servant X Service is a super fun slice-of-life romcom (emphasis on the com), Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It is another comedy romance that is light and inconsequential enough to spend your time on...

is this my chance to rant about my love for found family friendships? :blob_hide: think saiki k-- a lowkey emotionally detached, cynical main character grudgingly but progressively ends up with a group of friends that they hate acknowledging... but cannot help but acknowledge at the end? I LOVE...

Lots of answers already so not sure if you still need another opinion, but I'd like to say that most of us probably got to where we are through trial and error, emphasis on the error lol. Everyone has a different style that works for them, and I think it's best if you try stuff out and see...

oop I'm late D: but uhhh I'd say mine is pretty heavy on the comedy side??? Never really thought about it though, but I usually either have a really evil grin on my face as I write the funny or do like a gleeful little heh to myself... hehe :D also not sure if this counts but I have this thing...

uhhhhhh not sure if this will count but um the main character in my story they were all nobles works a bartender-ish job and she spends a plenty part of her life doing that...? the story isn't like centered around her job but she's constantly working pretty normally :blob_blank:

not too sure about the grounded in reality part (they're very realistic within a fantastical world) or youthful growth but if you've liked shoujo/romcoms before I think you'll like I will try my best to remain a mob character! it's hilarious and based off of a lot of cliches, and it still has...

Heyyy this is basically what really inspires me too!!! lol my current story was inspired by my frustration in the reincarnated villainess trope I'm really into rom coms and shoujos ngl, but there are so much frustrating ones that I canNOT deal with because of a couple VERY overused tropes. One...

What everyone above me said: I'd recommend you keep adding ominous suspense here and there (without any dire consequences... yet) before you get to the action arc, and then just before the action arc starts, if you want to whirl them into the action right away, cliffhanger ending on the previous...

uhhh this is a synopsis that happened (long story, but basically I was playing this 'you're a writer!' game and I edited the auto-generated synopsis to this because it felt more interesting) but will probably not happen so I'll leave this here. It reads like a YA novel, actually. Lol. Gasten...

I have this weird relationship with realism... Like for comedy points, I go 'what is realism heh' and do whatever, but anything pertaining to plot, like how will these main characters get the info and act on it successfully needs to be realistic and believable because I hate plot armor. Like...

fanfic oneshots full of pining and cringey dramatic one-liners aahahhahaha (you didn't hear this from me) also I write better in third person... too bad I usually end up writing in first person for the sake of the story ._.

I really need to start doing this... I probably make up a good hundred of my views weekly going back to read what I wrote because I forget everything I did before :blob_teary: especially stuff like 'hmm, what did that character call that other character?' or 'have I already explained what this...

This happens to me with my minor characters especially, and sometimes my best (personal favorite) chapters come from winging a scene without planning it, because the characters really do organically move the way they want, lol. But yes, I think I might understand what you mean by the rest of...

에구구, 죄송합니다ㅜㅜ 근디 한국말로 쓰면 아무도 못알아들을까봐... 뭐 그게 목적이겠지만요 ㅎ
