I had originally wrote a certain character's surname as a reference to some obscure indie game, one that doesn't even have 50 reviews on Steam, because I like small nods like that. Then I realized with how the plot was developing, their family name was going to be plot critical and appear a lot...

So you could entrust me with all of the power. Don't worry, I'll put it to good use ♥

Extremely AI like, because I really would like to know how any human would consider this a twist in an isekai. It would be like saying a romance has a twist of two characters falling in love

Could just be because of cultural norms that somehow led to a very powerful, exclusive group of women in charge. There's some historical precedents for it. Probably the most famous would be the "Spartan Heiresses" that at times had more social and financial power than even the kings. For a...

Some of the scariest real life horrors are the ones that make sense why they happen, while also being things the victim had no control over. One that's always stood out to me was the use of non-functioning anesthesia but fully-functioning paralytics during intensive surgeries. You see...

I'd rate it somewhere between a 2 and a 9. Maybe even between a 3 and an 8...

Sure, go ahead. VoraCity It's a writing experiment more than anything else. Content aside, the first chunk of the story goes on for a long time in this weirder subject matter before becoming a very different kind of story. It gatekeeps the people who would like the later character-driven...

From one of my not-web-novel works, the most memorable villain is less a direct antagonist, and more a force of nature personified. She drifts in and out of the scope of the story, with enough remnants of her actions being seen throughout the setting. When she is actively antagonizing anyone on...

There's definitely nothing inherently wrong with it, but you have to look at it from the reader's POV. If there's a 9k word prologue that is anything short of captivating, they might just interpret it as being bad at pacing and click off. They're also going to be a lot more likely to skim...

Analogue: A Hate Story Having seen enough love stories, I wondered what a "hate story" would be. I think it did a good job answering that question.

"When people say they want a relatable protagonist, they really mean they want a resonating protagonist." It's close enough to a quote I heard in an old review. I'd say the simplest step to seeing how to make a more likeable protagonist is to just go back and watch shows or read books with...

It depends on how far your sex scenes are going. If it's just some kissing and touching with a fade to black, I've even seen PG-13 movies get away with that. If there's anything involving actual depictions of the beast with two backs, I'd say just mark it as containing s*xual content, even if...

Honestly, I'd give her at least a 15% myself, but I guess the quiz is just playing nice.

The phrasing feels weird, but I get the spirit of it. It's brought up as a lingering doubt in the FMC's head that if she opened up to a certain character even a week sooner than she did, it would have led to The worrying part is that she had been considering sharing her personal secrets...

It's a farm, not a ranch, so presumably she can just grow crops. If you want her to be evil, have her grow corn specifically to make industrual grade high fructose corn syrup out of. Truly, even poisons cause less widespread harm than the devilish HFCS...
