English, as a language, sucks (I say, as I write another chapter in English)

Bouncing off a random thought...we all know (or, well, should hopefully know?) that character names actually carry a ton of context. Hopefully you haven't named your urban fantasy's British character "Guan Yu," or your high fantasy goblin warlord "Mahatma Gandhi." If you did, well...shame on...

And that, children, is why dinosaurs became chicken. They were too exciting, so god nerfed them to KFC.

I think you pretty much answered your own thread! This, I think, would be the #1 problem regarding timeskips. If the timeskip is unclear, or the reader thinks the timeskip wasn't warranted, that's probably where most problems would occur. Basically, make them blatant, and use them when appropriate!

Wait, then couldn't we just bribe the Tibetan shaman?

Good discovery: I can come up with tons of names! Bad discovery: Coming up with names takes so goddamn long!

The only warden of a facility that kept world-ending monsters sealed in their respective zones. He later summoned randos from other worlds to deal with the monsters so he could quit his job. Huh, now that I mention it, I used to write isekai tropes before I knew what isekai was... :blob_hmm:

This is the first thought that came to mind. It felt a little odd releasing a chapter in the middle of the story just for this purpose though, but maybe I can release it and reorder it all the way to the beginning or something...including additional notes and info sound like excellent ideas...

Alrighty, so...I have a world map that I made a long time ago (or well, continent maps, but close enough), which I look at from time to time while writing. It's really for myself, and I never really went out to post it anywhere - not because I don't want to share, but because I don't know where...

These all look great! I'd personally vote 2, but lemme be the devil's advocate for a moment just in case. 1: Book's design is off. The book he's holding shouldn't look like that! Unless they're two separate document piles. 2: 6 fingers on left hand if you look closely! 4: Left book is being...

I always thought highschools were a myth. If someone challenges this opinion, I'm gonna link them to this thread now.

As a Korean, I can tell you that most of these titles aren't actually misleading at all in their native language! The English translation MAKES it sound misleading because of the pseudo meanings some of these words/phrases carry. For example, "Closet" literally means a cabinet for clothes and...

I wrote 50 chapters of prologue and I bet nobody noticed it was prologue. And it's still prologue. :blob_hide:

As someone who wrote a very similar process in their lore...I called it mana evolution, plain and simple. Just my two cents.

Top 5 for me are... 1) D.Gray-Man: Started it thanks to my sister decades ago, turned out to be a really memorable one even though it got cancelled midway. I like morally gray things. This is morally gray. It's in the hecking name! 2) Spy X Family: It's relaxing to watch. I need a Bond in my...

Imagine even making a single mistake while writing 352,080 words. What a loser.

First person: I am a person. Second person: You are a person. Third person: Person is a person. Conclusion: We are the world~ we are the children~

There's a webtoon that's pretty much a war on Earth among teens who return from being isekai'd to different worlds. And it's quite good. https://m.webtoons.com/en/action/the-warrior-returns/list?title_no=3265
