    What's your motivation for becoming an author?

    Nothing that grand. I was just bored out of my mind. Most of the novels I read were just stupid, so I decided that I can do better!

    Completed series not marked completed

    Contact the author, maybe through a PM and tell them. They has to be the one who mark it as such from the novel's page.

    Writing What motivates you to finish your novel?

    My readers... If not for them demanding more chapters, I would have long went to some other project.

    What do you do when as a writer you lose your passion for fiction?

    Try other genres, try reading Chinese novels, Korean, Japanese... sometimes a good novel or anime can reignite the passion!

    Tournament Arcs?

    Been planning a tournament arc for a while. Still have no idea how it will go. The Problem with it, is repeatability, I think each battle need to be fresh. And I think a sub plot would make it even better. maybe more than one.

    Fantasy?

    I used to read a lot of fantasy, but to tell the truth, I grew bored with them. They just play it to safe fearing angering their readers. they go from having no harems (or gender blender) and sometimes avoiding romance altogether. Adding to that, the plots and ideas of most of the good old ones...

    Looking for Beginner Advice

    Practice, practice... If you get stuck, go Learn from the masters, then practice and practice... Always challenge yourself, and in time you will get good. P.S. A good teacher, course or a youtube course would help a lot and save you a lot of time, but you really have to put in the work!

    Writing Does a story necessarily have to convey a message/moral ?

    For me, a story only needs to be fun, nothing more nothing less. Everything else is toppings on the cake. Morals and such would appear naturally though the narrative and how characters interact.

    Do Not Overplan Fiction At 3AM

    Yeah... Most of my overthinking usually ends up trashed, but it is a good exercise as a few good things would find it's way back in a better way.

    Regressor Story Idea for advice

    I just don't like betrayal stories, a personal performance. Especially when the viewers knows while the MC doesn't.

    Regressor Story Idea for advice

    I don't like simp protagonists. it would leave a bad taste especially when he confronts his friend. I might like it if the MC was the evil friend.

    Which comes first, the theme or the story?

    For me it is neither, for a story, I usually start with a cool scene, or a goal that I want to achieve. Sometimes a certain feeling that I want to catch. After that I find a way to make it as fun as possible. The story and the theme comes much later and usually change several times before the...

    Presentation of the novel similar to Solo Leveling

    Don't publish it on drive unless you want others to collaborate on it! Publishing on a site like this or RR has many benefits, most importantly is the publish date that can be verified in case someone stole your work. Adding to that the many readers comments that would be very helpful! The only...

    Seeking Advice or Just Sharing My Story

    Don't study writing in collage. unless you plan to work as an editor or in a publishing house it is pretty much useless and you can learn much more by doing it and reading books. You can watch Brandon Sanderson's course online. In fact, that same question was posed in one of his lectures, and...

    The litrpgest litrpg?

    Try Solo Leveling. The nice thing about it that it will show you that status is only a narrative tool, and is not that important like others make it to be. Sure the readers like status and such, but in fact it is a big scam to make the illusion that your novel have a hard Magic system (it can...
