    What are some of your favorite story openings (Author's Edition)

    I prefer In Medias Res. "We're always In Medias Res. You were born In Medias Res; a footnote to the history of two people. You yourself had decided who you are after the fact you've had a few years in your belt already. Just when you think it had all began, the starting point continues to grow...

    Why Isekai?

    One should be thankful it's "person from our world into fantasyland" especially if one is complaining about the bad writing. Can you imagine how even more grating it would even be if instead of having a relatable, understandable guy like Ted Jones from Kentucky we need to slog through "Darkness...

    Why Isekai?

    Isekai fatigue is nothing new. Many turned to anime because everyone got tired of American scientists who gained powers after dramatically holding up a test tube. Many have rolled their eyes at the idea of some village boy picking up a radioactive rock or when a dying elder bequeathes him a...

    Which story of yours is probably the most suitable to have video game adaptation

    The one at my sig. What genre is it? Yes. Idea is that you cycle through each character as the story progresses. Your actions/performance will affect who you will play next, which leads to replayability. Fighters will be like a 3rd-person action game, gunners will be FPS, the non-combat...

    Why Isekai?

    I shall write one where the hero gains his powers from being bitten by a radioactive gamma ray-stricken black cat that escaped his exploding planet after criminals shot his mom... instead of dying. Mild-mannered bumbling accountant by day, anime hero at night! Checkmate, guys! I have an...

    Lost lore you just couldn't fit in.

    Ex-Villainess Philia's post-isekai flashbacks where she's pulling a Hannibal Lecter on annoying schoolmates/faculty, Considering it's a world of demihumans, she uses the appropriate recipes i.e. hamburgers from minotaurs, prosciutto for orcs, sahuagin ceviche, bird-folk teriyaki, etc.

    What are the 'behind the scenes' aspects of your fiction writing that are interesting?

    The protagonist Ingrid and her friends are making their way home one chapter, and since she's in a fantasy DnD-esque city, I thought that one aspect such a city would have are newsreaders just like in Assassin's Creed 2 and HBO's Rome. Instead of making up random news bits. I decided to tap a...

    What is the hardest, heaviest, lightest, and easiest part of writing the plots in your novel?

    Hardest: Bridging from one good idea into the next. Avoiding sudden jumps and time skips. Interludes between adventures sometimes do not help. Heaviest: Coming up with mooks since a lot of the usual RPG fare are now "People" i.e. orcs, goblins, ogres, are the Tom, Dick, and Harry of this...

    As an author, how do you feel when you reread your novels?

    Last month, while cleaning up my PC, I took out four screws to open it up and came back with five. Yesterday, I stacked eight chairs to clean up my dining room. I came back with nine. I re-read my Googledocs-written stories and still come up with typos. The Infinite item glitch is real.

    Do you listen to voice actors to decide who would be a good fit for your characters?

    Actively? No. If I had to choose right now, I'll have to do a quick search online to know who voiced who. Except for Norio Wakamoto who should totally voice the cute slime familiar. That would of course lead to a legal obligation to add more speaking lines so every episode is graced with his...

    Guns in Fantasy

    Nice! I thought I was the only one thinking of mixing melee, magic, and machines together. That said, my fight scenes are usually group battles, i.e. the hero team vs a horde of monsters. The MC also organizes sub-groups and squads. As for the guns themselves, I too have yet to make the...

    Why don’t the monsters in your world attack cities often?

    Ironically, because dungeons. It starts with permanent rifts where monsters pour out. People start building a dungeon over and around it (since they usually are located deep underground), all the usual dungeon stuff like hidden passages, secret rooms and traps? They're there but the difference...
