The best advice I could give I think, boils down to: - Don't try to give exposition through dialogue. I mean, no, you can totally give exposition through dialogue, but just remember that in a conversation, both parties already know the context of what they are talking about (most of the...

No, it's a published light novel. Goodreads page.

There's this nice compilation of cultivation stages/abilities regarding Er-Gen cultivation novels. Wiki Link

When changing povs in my story, I usually try to make it clear in the first paragraph whose pov we are on. And also use a horizontal line to indicate when things changes. It works for me because my story is told from third person limited. So, whenever I'm describing what some character or...

Not on my current story but: Protagonist: Wife Antagonist: Husband. Conflict: Husband lack of self esteem and confidence.

I wouldn't head hop between paragraphs, that kills the immersion. Also add some sort of indicator, a break line, or something so the reader knows the pov changed. The issue I find with switching povs is that most of the time, the reader is not invested in the other characters apart from the MC...

Some of those are super nice. Thanks for sharing.

On another note, I find I have trouble writing when I don't know what to write. I've taken to creating goals for each arc, even if I don't think of the small details. For example: Arc N, MC needs to reach X. Whenever I'm struggling to write, I stop and ask myself: What needs to happen for MC...

You can't. It is inevitable. Jokes aside, disconnect your internet, close your door, sit down and write. If your computer is still distracting you, get a notebook and a pen and write somewhere isolated. Or put music, that helps sometimes.

Here's a few more: https://ibb.co/album/xYpZHV For some reason, the model I used didn't want o add a sword. Well, anyway, if you still need a image, ping me and I can refine the prompt tomorrow.

lol, is that a thing?
