    Writing Help me fix my bad writing style

    As someone who also roots my writing from translated novels (mainly danmei), here is my take (I can't really explain it, so I fixed the writing in my style. Of course, it might not be objectively correct/better either): First one: Inside the grand library of Ravenshade mansion, a young boy sat...

    Writing Narrative Style

    1. I don't know if I have developed it enough, but my writing style is rooted from translated danmei. I intentionally want people to feel like my stories are translated from other language, especially if I'm writing CN-based setting and JP-based setting, though it does get carried to my EN-based...

    writer's block

    Having writers block is completely normal for everybody however much you love writing. It's kind of scary, i know, but you'll definitely get back up with the correct way and the right time. I would suggest either taking a break or try what i call brainless writing. Just write what comes up in...

    Writing How Important is Description in your Writing?

    I tried to put enough without overwhelming things. If it's an important item or person, then i'll put in more details that's relevant. It's important not to leave significant details, but it's also important not to dump irrelevant details. It's a hard balance to strike honestly.

    Looking for a subverted revenge trope.

    As a reader of the original webtoon, the drama was executed badly. As a stand-alone, it's decent, but they changed many things from the original source. What irks me the most is indeed the fact that the drama didn't show the MC using his intelligence to fight. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE...

    What are your honest thoughts on harem stories?

    I don't dislike harem, or reverse harem to take it to account, when they don't take themselves seriously. As an enjoyer of OP protagonists and revenge/face-slapping dramas, I don't hate wish-fulfillment stories. I don't like it though, when it's only for the sake of fanservice and the harem is...

    What have your favorite reader interactions been?

    A reader commented that I'm doing great in translating the stories even though it's my original story. I do aim for my writing to sound translated-ish (as weird as it sounds lol), so I took that as a compliment.

    How do you rate your own writing?

    Probably around 4 or 5. I'm too used to writing in a webnovel format that the structure (and probably prose) of my writing doesn't fit for book publishing. So, yeah. Definitely not rating myself 6 above anytime soon.
