Balance and the simple question of "does this place have meaning." Is this place a random inn or the future headquarters of the adventure party? If its a location of just one scene then how important is the scene? The more important a place is in the plot of your story the more detail should...

Bible Black. Totally meets your requirements. Also my answer for every "What to watch" anime question.

The synopsis, in my opinion, should have 3 things in it. It should give an idea of what the story is going to be about (journey/quest/slice of life etc), it should introduce the main character, and either say the "hook" or give an idea of what it is. The synopsis is the third thing a potential...

The problem with prologues is that most people don't know what it actually is. They think the prologue and the synopsis is the same thing. So they just take their summary from the synopsis and just make it longer. In my opinion the prologue is only needed if you need to explain something to the...

To throw in my 2 cents. I think a link to a webpage saying "removed for such rule" with a link to somewhere else is too much to ask for. The admins would have to make an individual page for every novel they removed. This is putting too much work on their shoulders for a rule that has been listed...

Too much. If you want to start getting them out do an initial dump of about 5 chapters and then wait a day. Then drop 1 or 2. Then wait a day and rinse/repeat. Also I would suggest that if you are doing this just until you get to your caught up point to make a note of in on the chapter. That...

Its a toss up between Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader or World of Warcraft. So Rogue Trader I would change the gameplay style. I tried playing it for the story/universe but I just hate turn based games like that. If I could change it to a more hybrid style like Dragon age: origins that would be...

My favorite was a background/job. I was reading one story when suddenly the college mc was an expert at shooting and being a detective. Asked in the comments where all this came from and the author got after me for not reading the story and that I should pay closer attention. Asked where it said...

Eh a lot of what you would be asking for would just be translations where the author changed the character's name. I get the want though. Sometimes xianxia gets annoying trying to read when you can't tell the names apart and spend so much time trying to figure out who is who. Gets worse when...

A sword is a weapon of nobility and a show of wealth. Common foot soldiers use spears. A blade or knife is a tool. A sword being the main weapon of choice is just an established troupe. Just like Yang (fire) is the element of men. . . And dragon is the bloodline of men. On the other hand Yin...

It depends on what the focus of the story is. If the focus is just on fighting then they get boring if they are to strong. A boxing story with the main character of One punch man would just be repetitive. But if the story focus is on something else such as kingdom building, relationships...

Do it in sections or chapters. Like if you want to have one scene in third person where the mc is recounting what happened, then make a point of dividing it from the first person section. Now if you are doing this for multiple characters I would suggest beginning the section with the characters...

Not an author but will throw my 2 cents in. In most cases I think that the author should have an ending planned out and it should "match" the story. What I mean by that is if you are writing a happy fun mindless adventure story, it should end as one. Don't have giant plot swifts and such. No...

Is this supposed to be the plot or the prologue? Like is the story supposed to be the journey of this new god of time and death and his actions causing the destruction of the gods, or is this a prologue to a different main character who is finding him or herself in this new world? Either way...

Sacrifice your first born.

Depends on what type of poison you like. Everyone likes different things. Depending on type of mc to harems etc etc. Also I didn't really go with just one or two favorites, but stories that I was always looking forward to updates. So to name some of the ones I actually look forward to...

So there is one author on this site who I was reading a couple of his stories. Each of his stories has a black mc. Decent writing and story idea but the mc would constantly bring up his race. Any time any sort of conflict arose the mc would suddenly start bringing up racism. "Oh you say your mad...

A hook. I always stress the Hook. It does not matter how well your characters are written or how great the world is. If your story does not have a hook in the beginning (or synopsis) that makes the reader want more then you are banking on people just being bored enough to read it. Using the...

I wasn't even thinking about surviving in the would avoiding the fighting. I was thinking more along the lines of space travel and adventure. In Gundam even with the show always being about war they went all over the place and saw all kinds of places. In my memory of Zoids the main crew stayed...

Blast from the past. Been a long time since I thought of Zoids. So from my limited memory and a google search I narrowed down my old favorite between two. The Lightning Saix (which I think it is) or the Drei Panther. All I really remember from the episode is that the "test" for the new Zoid was...
