    Alright, let's get started! From your title, I can tell this is likely some kind of litRPG, isekai, and/or progfic and... yeah. That's about it. Synopsis doesn't give me any clarifying information. I can tell there's an element of breaking the fourth wall and comedy, but if this wasn't a...

    Do I have time for this? Not really! But here it is anyway. Post a link to your story and I'll read the first 3-5 chapters and give you my feedback. I feel like a lot of feedback tends to focus on what a story isn't doing instead of what it is - which leads to situations where you judge The...

    What are the 'behind the scenes' aspects of your fiction writing that are interesting?

    I do a lot of research into how things work irl when I include them in my fantasy. I love Rule of Cool, but I have a need for a level of accuracy in my own work, even if I tweak it to fit more with the world. This includes everything from building a constructed language (and learning more...

    Have any of you take advantage of using the glossary?

    ... I just realized I could add art for characters that have art, though I do have... a long list of characters already lol

    What's an Author hill you 100% die on? (Please talk about writing related topics)

    Going to add some nuance to "write for yourself" as advice: You should write things you enjoy first and foremost - lots of authors do see more success when they stop trying to write something "marketable" and focus more on passion projects and experiments.* So yes, if you want to write...

    I'm a new author and I've got some questions

    If you're writing about physiology it's porn... or a sex-ed lesson, which I do include a full-on lead by a doctor sex-ed lesson in one chapter. Very helpful if not all the anatomy involved is human lol

    Sell me on your MC, not your story

    I don't often write out his backstory, but here goes: Jurao is the son of two famous beast hunters - a nomadic people of the Demon Realm that hunt the most dangerous animals in the realm both to keep them from overrunning settlements and to provide the extra meat and pelts to settlements...

    Writing ? QUESTION FOR THE BRAVE

    This is kind of a spoiler for the show/VN that has done this before in a different way than stated here, but I'm not going to tell you specifically who: Also, you know, , that time loop film starring Ryan Reynolds, and that other time loop film with Bruce Willis (I think?), uh... the Erased...

    I have ADHD, which comes with audio rentention issues, so while audiobooks help a lit of people with ADHD, I just... don't really remember anything ? Bumping them up to 2x speed can help, but then I personally feel like I'm not appreciating the narrator's work enough so, c'est la vie lol

    This is a general note, since I haven't seen anyone comment it - I don't know where you learned that all words get capitalized in a title except one, but its standard not to captilize short prepositions, articles, and conjunctions unless they're the first or last word ? As in words like: [a...

    Recommendations Comedy or slice of life recs plz.

    I recently rewatched "Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout" for like... the fifth time, so I highly recommend that one. Spoilers: Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun is very fun and fluffy. High school romcom; FMC is in love with a boy who mistakes her confession as...

    Demon King's Gardener is a slice of life romantic comedy, and has a secondary focus on family and friendships - including the (in his demon forties) MC's best friend, his relationship with his aunt who raised him after his mothers passed, and the LIs/his partner's family...

    Very Unfair Story Feedback Thread

    I mean I've mentioned it in another thread, but I've unironically called it a sitcom, so it does tend to use situational comedy lol but if that's not your thing that's fair, it's def hit or miss with a lot of people they're in a dining room/great hall on the cover - the table is just able to...
