    Who are some of your most memorable villains? (And why?)

    So... On my end there would be two options: Maximilian Löwe - an actual Nazi that was isekaied to Dwynevia Kojiro Yamaoka - a serial rapist "working" as a Lieutenant in a criminal conspiracy funding itself through slavery.

    Dark Fantasy Writing Challenge

    This is the closest I got to it. So far. This is ground zero of an explosion caused by someone detonating, as one of the characters later puts its, "enough C-4 to make a suicide bomber harder than steel". This is was a mix of "covering tracks" and "a final fuck you" Death toll is over a...

    Kind of exhausted?

    PErsonally after I started feeling that way, I yeeted the concept of schedule out of the window. I write first and foremost for myself so I don't want to burn out. So sometimes I will publish few chapters a week, sometimes it takes me two weeks to write one. Iz life.

    Say, how would you write a divine being that is fond of a certain human?

    One of my deities is a Lesbian version of Zeus (with better understanding of consent). She starts dating one of the characters in the party. She lets them set the pace and expectations due to the power differential.

    Writing the Dark Chapters

    The third "book" of my story has my MC drugged and kidnapped by a gang of human traffickers ran by a psychopathic serial rapist. He has her gang raped in order to break her and make her compliant. The whole segment took no mental prep on my end and took me like three days to write? *shrugs...

    Litrpg without accomplishments?

    Alas, I joined Helldivers during the Meridian Singularity Arc so I wasn't there for the Creek. Still - nice to see a fellow diver here.

    Litrpg without accomplishments?

    Remember, you are writing YOUR OWN story. Don't follow a cookie cutter recipe if you don't feel it. Note: The most common thing my protags get from adventures is PTSD, so I might not be the best person to listen to.

    Do you all come up with new names for month and days?

    I haven't came up with names for days yet. As for months due to my MC being a Terran her attitude is Let's call tenth month "October" because close enough

    Do you mind real life physics when you create a "fantasy" world

    I mean... my fantasy novel includes such genre staples like Nerve Gas, Thermobaric Missiles and Cluster Bombs. As far as magic goes, while the [Meteor] spell hasn't been technically used in the book so far (though it's end results are seen), the spell works by quite literally teleporting a...

    Concept Drafting of Villain Character #1

    Honestly, I think you are overplanning it. At least to my 'pantser' eyes. Stories tend to grow on their own.

    Originality in Fantasy

    I like to put my own twists on some things. Like my local equivalent of vampires (the Sanguine) are immortal beings created by a sadistic god called by "The Blood that Devours" mostly so that it has something to torment. The Sanguine can subsist on normal food and blood is actually their...
