It's amazing how a simple change of perspective on your own work can open up the way to different creative avenues. And it's quite cool that you came across your just because you decided to edit in reverse.

Hang on, you mentioned that in the future it will be referenced multiple times, right? So, instead of racking your brain trying to write something out that you may possibly over-explain anyway, why don't you let the reader's imagination do the explaining for you? Infer, my friend. It can be...

What they said^ In terms of dark-fantasy, very ordinary. But doesn't mean you shouldn't write it. Maybe add in a twist or two that affects the overall arc of the story?

I mean...you technically don't have to (keep your protagonist from turning into a straight-up murdering hobo)?

genuine question: Have you ever read a book that has been tagged as smut and didn't come across the first sex scene until 100+ chapters later? And how did you feel about it?

I apologise if the title is slightly misleading, but I'm unsure on how else to put it into my question title without writing a whole darn essay. (I'll try keep this short) So, when I first started writing my web-novel, I did the usual whole kit and caboodle thing where I prep, plan, and set the...

Plan it in your head (ofc), but what works for me is to take out a notepad and put down the title (or placeholder titles) for your arcs. Maybe jot down some bullet points underneath it if there are certain things that you want to happen in said arc. Then you draw lines to the next arc to...

I wish i can write a web-novel like this and have chapter titles about my mood or the song im listening to! :o oh wow, i need to do that next time! Time to find a word in the chapter and translate it in another language

omg this is something that I worry about so often too! As great as it is to go and skim through key words in the chapter/arc that I could use for the chapter title, I always try to make sure that the word I use doesn't give anything away lolol ooh, referencing a pop-culture theme? I have never...

I already have my way of doing it, but I'm always interested and intrigued on how others do it (it never hurts to get a fresh perspective of things from others). ie. I like to skim through the chapter that I just wrote and find key words or themes and find words that relate to said theme or...

ooh, this reminds me of something one of my tutors asked me a long time ago when I asked about certain explicit (or dark) themes. (Can't remember what the exact words were) but it was something along the lines of: Is it just for reader indulgence?.. Then you probably won't need it. But can the...

Someone told me on a different platform that honestly, I should just write my web-novel how I wanted to write it. And that advice has been huge for me. I went through almost the exact same thing that you did when I first started my story, but then I realised that I'm not glorifying anything...

I had many phases of wanting to be an author or even just writing, but it was always just that. I never went to commit and write the stories out or publish them online etc. Only recently did I actually go out of my way to write down the story that I had in my mind, as well as writing notes down...

absolutely :) How often to use it I cannot say, so your mileage may vary haha

I honestly think that the detailed one is better, but I can see the minimalistic style being used in certain chapters "suddenly" to catch the reader off-guard, possibly even making them ask questions like: I wonder why all of a sudden this chapter feels different. Is something in the plot coming up?

Honestly? This question sucks, because for me, I have found that for me it is so genre-specific haha And i dont mean that in a bad way. I mean that in a way that shows how what you are doing are both not wrong, but it is possible that (again, depending on your genre/nice) readers may just...
