Started writing after getting sick of reading

[deltanz]

I wrote some when I was younger though never got too far into it and then decided to try it again after reading some Fanfiction, which is what my stories are, and finding some ideas I could work behind on my own to try and get my foot into it.

So, I was just wondering, how many of you guys out there began writing novels because you got bored of reading the content already being published and thought to create what you'd like to read?

I, for example, am a new author who began writing my first ever novel about a month back because I got sick of all the glorification of cultivation and China that was being published everywhere I looked.

The authors just loved to juice out the wuxia/xianxia genres so much that there seemed to be almost no series about the importance of science and the development of civilisation.

Like, some genius cultivator MC meditates for 5 years straight and gets complete immunity against nukes and stuff and starts spitting on all the effort and resources that humans have spent over the centuries to develop civilisation. (I haven't read anything like this but the idea doesn't sound too far-fetched.)

That's why I started writing a series trying to make science and tech and sci-fi stand over this stuff.

I used to be a regular reader before this, with not a thought of writing something on my own but I ended up suddenly publishing a series.

So, are there any others who started like me, as readers who got sick of reading? And how successful did you guys get? (Idk, maybe like ended up creating a completely new overly used topic for writing...)

My series: Wrecking Fantasy with Technology

Same dude, except mine was with isekai fantasy, and mine focused on the technological supremacy. I just continued writing it again recently, I had like a 5 month break from it.

My novel sky rocketed cause it is different but it is falling into a hole but i don't think much of it cause i do this for fun now not just to kill off time like my two other series.

The Time I Got Reincarnated As A Seraph

A man dying due to a random attacker ascends to heaven and god reincarnates him as a female angel , since he plays games often and watches overlord. The mc sents off to make allies and go into conquest after making enough allies. Discord Server: https://discord.gg/jckYJDDHCg Family-friendly...

This series of my shows you can do something that is say to be impossible for my case.
But experimentation will leave a bad taste in readers mouth if you don't know what you doing.

i currently wrote since i finished catching up to most of my favorite novels and too impatient to wait.

sometimes i also had peculiar preferences and too lazy to go deep. not feeling like looking for anything new either.

 

[LinXueLian]

Nah. I actually started writing BECAUSE I saw cultivation and China everywhere. Suddenly my own culture was cool, so there we go LOL

I'mma create my own handsome hunks to explode shit up with kungfu powers

Then have gay sex on the side ??

My biggest dissatisfaction, that spurred me to write was the extent of handwaving in many novels.

Like MC's getting magic and making precise machinery/nukes with a wave of their hand simply because they are somewhat familiar with the concept, while the rest of the world that had magic for millennia is sitting in the corner and eating crayons. Watching in awe.

Or even MC getting magical powers and suddenly he is an archmage simply because he heard of chemistry back in high school, while the rest of the world is struggling in making their first fireball.

Or how powers are given to MC sometimes. With random beings flying around only to stamp random MCs with identical superpowers.

I wanted to read stories where if something happened it happened for a reason. And said reason might have been yesterday of centuries past. And vice versa if something happened now it would definitely affect the future and not be set aside as soon as the arc is done.

My series: Wrecking Fantasy with Technology

Stuffs will never make sense only because other write it in a way to sell "OP" characters without consequences. Common theme I see in Isekai, Rebirth, Reincarnate, Transmigrate, Second Chance, and etc. is an Underestimated MC who for some reasons is super OP by default or Genius because they can remember their past life. What bother me most was the processing of souls in all sort of Travels.

And how some MC can somehow get girls and the crazies to follow him almost everywhere. I can never understand that logic.
