What's a small detail in your novel that you're unreasonably proud of?

[Corty]

The fact that I drop hints from time to time towards the mystery behind the big bad before explicitly explaining it for everyone.

 

[Ssthat]

The fact that i've made 11 chapters

How detailed I managed to make the lore. I'm big into worldbuilding and I dedicated a lot of time into developing this world. I'm happy it came out more or less okay.

My characters act like real humans (I based them on real ones), even though my genre is isekai and harem.

Oh and my MC--a hero of an isekai stpry that he is--is no Mary Sue. He actually takes in advices from his friends.

And the FMCs have actual use and struggles in the story, not just the 'rah-rah' girls of the MMC.

That sounds like a great detail. Not sure how 'little' that is though... sounds pretty huge in the grand scheme of things, things being the entire harem genre.

Stolen from redit is the title question.

Mine is:
Special one on one, life and death duels dont often get issued, but they are sacrosanct. It exists like mark in the fabric of the world. And no one challenge someone to a duel if they know the will definitely win. And even the most vile amoral scumbag adhere to it.

It doesn't get bring up often in the story, isnt even part of the story but it's just something that is in that world.

I'm overly proud of my character's physical description. Way too happy about the unique details that make them up.

Well, maybe the little details that make them 'human', like their own dreams and motivations, apart from the MMC's. That they can kick ass even though the hero isn't there...stuff like that.

Also their quirks and what makes them annoyed...

Maybe it's because I am an author, but that's always the most important thing to me, so to me, that's also insanely awesome and huge. Though I think most harem readers aren't exactly looking for that detail, so to them I guess it would be small for most.
Edit: Big-ness is in the eye of the beholder?

 

[Rhaps]

The thing I'm proud of is the secret organization is competent, they actually prevented the extintion of humanity many times!

 

[MajorKerina]

Mine tend to be where I have a bunch of disparate elements and I don’t know how they’re gonna come together but then suddenly my music drops the truth bomb on how to make it all happen and it blows my mind.

 

[Succubiome]

The most recent one I'm proud of is that pairs of guards usually play a competitive game of seeing what they can see as they stand watch outside, since it's both something to do and thought to make them more alert.

This is almost entirely irrelevant to the story so far, but I like throwing in little details like that.

It's not that bad tbh
