    Anime recommendation (asking for smth almost impossible)

    I liked Skip and Loafer also, in terms of comedy "You and I are Polar opposites" is nice. Also, also, in terms of great comedy, I can recommend Sword Art Online Abridged. They turned those two characters into total variants sociopaths, which makes their developing relationship pretty fascinating.

    Scenes that always make you laugh?

    Usually, if something that should've been obvious gets me by surprise. Like, you know how a character is, you know about their habits, and then, during a completely mundane situation, where you completely forgot about certain peculiarities, the absurdity strikes hard, as the character behaves...

    Power System Centered around Lovecraftian Gods

    Now I'm asking myself where my own Eldritch goddess would row herself in there.

    How can i write believable relationships.

    I usually try to maintain a degree of casualness in conversations. Of course, it depends on the situation, but discussions are never merely about information exchange. Don't just infodump the topic, but show their personal stance towards the situation. Include personal comments, patterns of...

    Which odd weapon would you like to see represented more?

    I liked how in Core .001 the catgirl used qatars. Looked like a nice complementation to the natural features. Also, a rather elegant weapon. Yet in terms of effectiveness, I'd say halberd.

    Anyone working on any story anthologies?

    I'm currently working on one (at least, I think that's the right word). It's supposed to be a series of short story about a kind of transformed angels, and their respective origins, within a world I already established in another story.

    I bought a Steam Deck

    Depending on the console version, you'll only have limited memory space. Also, the battery runs dry fast the more demanding the game. Also, also, the display is still limited by its size. I definitely recommend classic isometric RPGs, like maybe Pathfinder, or Warhammer Rogue Trader, where the...

    What are your favorite, least favorite, and underutilized words?

    "Perhaps". I know, not an uncommon word, but I barely ever use it in my stories, and feel like I'm missing out.

    Can I still use grammarly as an editor?

    I find that sometimes the changes aren't outright about wrong phrases. Quite often I have a word at a special spot for emphasis. Or if a character uses slang. Grammarly corrects those away anyway.

    How do you add an Author’s Note on Scribble Hub?

    To be fair, I like the "announcement" layout left from it more design-wise.

    How to cure writer's Block

    It helps me to have different stories and write what I situationally feel more inclined to. Also, you can manipulate your taste a bit if you are doing something you associate with your story. Or in my case, one of my stories, which opens up the range of what you might feel like doing. For...

    Ideal length for chapters

    Usually, 1500-2000 is recommended. Less and it appears a bit short to wait for. More and one misses out on exposure for appearing on the starting page with the new chapter more regularly.

    What is your story ACTUALLY about

    Power you don't want, while a transformation into a monster doesn't mean you become a monster in mind. Characters are, mildly put, inconvenienced by receiving power that goes far above what humans can obtain. (And this should be repeated three times over)

    Power Fantasy Is Not Bad, Fight Me

    Personally, I think if the main focus of the story is some form of conflict, then a power fantasy is kinda bad. There are no stakes if they can just bulldoze everything. No need for conformity. Nothing they have to answer for, as they're essentially god. Also, I can't help but roll my eyes...

    What makes your fiction unique?

    I guess my take on the non-human transformation genre? My protagonists are humans who turn into certain kinds of monsters. Yet at their core, they are the people they were before, without any adjustment. They need to deal with being most foreign creatures in body, as well as society. So I'm...

    Ever noticed that your character is a pretty crappy person? / What if worldbuilding leads to moral issues?

    I also think that moral ambiguity is an interesting concept and deserves to be developed. Still, I am asking myself what I want from my MCs. Like, how far am I willing to let her slaughter orcs and see them as lesser than animals? They are some form of very aggressive, savage, tribal people, but...

    Ever noticed that your character is a pretty crappy person? / What if worldbuilding leads to moral issues?

    I don't mean them being intended as one. I've got more of a flexible writing style, where I'm somewhat open about what happens. What's important to me is that the characters make sense in their actions, and act realistically, according to their upbringing, situation, circumstances. For example...

    Writer's Block: Does writing a novel on the side allow you to refresh your mind?

    I'm writing currently on five (or four, as one is inactive). It helps me going along with my moods. One is an adventure story, so like if I feel like playing RPGs, that one's my go. One is a pretty much OP fantasy, through the dimensions, so I get in the mood when I imagine OP-fights or am...

    Have you ever wanted to read a light novel that feels like a magical story from the Middle Ages?

    Given that his account consists half of numbers, I'm not exactly sure how serious they are about becoming a writer.

    Writing Have you ever experienced a plot hole involving inconsistent character descriptions?

    Had to rename the father of my MC, because I intentionally used a different one and then backpedaled, after I basically committed on the second one that was arguably worse. Also, I used a bunch of names of characters I'm now probably going to introduce on already existing characters...
