So after finally starting a series that I'm proud of for my skill level, I hit the inevitable wall of having to name it... Right off the bat I could think of a single word to describe the series, and I'm wondering if less people read the description if it's a one word title than if it were two...

One of the reasons isekai took off was the feeling of fantasy and escape from reality, when you take away magic you're essentially stripping that away. Reality can be unpleasant, and that's what you'll probably have to draw on if the world doesn't have magic. Either the mc would be literal god...

Oh god that does sound annoying. To have a genius mc it's important to at least try, even if you get literally everything wrong sometimes it can still be fun to read with brain switch in the off position.

I can't imagine much changing in terms of how organizations act, but perhaps if they gain abilities related to the respective races then they might be rearranged to put guys turned into dwarves on a production line and the like. Elves could become recon and special ops. I suppose pilots lucky...

A good illusion has no room for allowing the target to question anything the illusion doesn't want them to, to that point it can either just be as simple as a lie or full blown pure gaslighting. This is actually something I considered for my trash first attempt at writing. The magic system...

I feel like a good concept would be a main character that knows about isekai but has trouble realizing it's actually happening right away. Like as far as they know it could be a dream or a delusion. That gave me a funny idea for an isekai where the main character is dead or on the verge of...

AI also tends to use big words in places where it's unnecessary. Does describing a simple scene really need to sound like a science paper giving excruciating detail instead of keeping it simple and emotional?

I think it might be cool if you have the main character be a genius HEMA fencer before dying or being transported, then instead of making him get overpowered with magical bullshit, he can overwhelm his enemies which may or may not have magic with modern martial arts that have had more refinement...

Giant flying cockroaches are probably the worst. Though if it's actually fearing danger the only common animals I can think of you'd be in danger these days are dogs. They can get dangerous if not brainwashed properly. Usually they're abused, but sometimes they're not, either way you can't feel...

I did not move the goalpost, I was explaining that there are different levels of 'coordination', it does not take much coordination to attack and defend at the same time on a basic level, because you are supposed to do it in a single motion. Can you only move one arm at a time? No? Then you can...

That's why, at least if you're not a master, you don't try to use both actively and keep one in an idle position. When you block, you defend and attack with the other sword in one motion, removing the need to coordinate both arms at once. I can assure you there are plenty of cases of anyone...

Generally few authors understand the actual motivation or challenges of dual wielding, and that's why I roll my eyes when I see it. You basically have to be ambidextrous to really be good at it right away, and if not then it takes a lot of practice to do it properly without cutting yourself...

I went too heavily into the word aspect and ended up there. It's hard for me to give my main character any challenge because my pacing was also too fast and my mc became a literal god so fast. The only way to have another antagonist was for me to create an Aizen.

Unfortunately I live with one. It's so bad she thinks 5G and vaccines are evil or whatever. And absolutely everything has some hidden meaning. One of the crap youtube shorts that pops up on her notifications is trying to tell people the closing show of the olympics is a satanic ritual and that...

Send them to a hellscape and they'll shut up real fast when they realize they've been selected for the kind of MC hell isekai

His ability wouldn't really help him with a plane since he'd still need the knowledge to do something like that. Plus my mc isn't stupid so he would never get on a plane in the first place. I mean he padded the walls of his home completely and disconnected his house from electricity so you know...

One more thing is, how common do isekai go into 1st person with other characters? Sometimes I feel like I can't get the best description with 3rd person when it comes to character thoughts but at the same time I absolutely can't stand using 1st person for anything but the main character. It just...

That's why I included mentions of a duel specifically though I think a rapier could be made to work if you just plug in the solve everything plot device called magic. And it would be awesome Basically many years ago a god and a demon were fighting over earth and the demon tried to suck the luck...

Considering she's probably going to be become the trash goddess if she fails... probably desperate

So for my second story I'm sticking with isekai since I want to have one I feel is good or average at least. I just kind of started my first one on a whim with no planning or ideas just to see how I'd do. Anyway, my MC is super cursed to the point of dodging death every day, but has incredible...
