    What do you think are important things during war?.

    Logistics is definitely the top for me. Can't do stuff if your army is hungry, homeless, defenseless, and weaponless out there. The second would be diplomacy. Wars are fought due to some conflict but it has to be done in a way where you don't result in having too many enemies, and gather as many...

    Feedback

    Yours is definitely readable, though I think others would point out things like these: or this: Scene transitions could do a bit work especially about that part where the MC loses her consciousness and the next scene starts out in the hospital. Maybe you could start the transition in the MC's...

    Writing Is this the correct way to use sci-fi tag?

    The correct terms should be soft and hard sci-fi. Yours, aside from the very long exposition, seems to fall under the soft sci-fi category. The difference between the two is that hard sci-fi is a story with scientific elements that are near-future and the laws or logic governing them strictly...

    Can you write smart characters even if you arent one?

    Depends because some smart people are arrogant in their tone, soft in their reprimands, or the silent type whose indifferent looks give you that uncomfortable vibe. The reason for coolness is possibly because it is more entertaining to the audience, like stuff is about to go down when this...

    Editing Writing Trouble...

    It may also be that you have no one to brainstorm with and are looking for validation/rejection of the plot you have written. Maybe you should try the advice above and write whatever comes to mind first. Take a break, walk around for a while, then come back with refreshed thoughts and proofread...

    Chapter length?

    As an author, it depends on how much content is shown in each chapter without disrupting the flow of the current chapter in a weird way. Some chapters may be longer because new knowledge is introduced for the reader, and for a particular character to understand. It may also involve introducing...

    On writing a fight/action story from a tired reader.

    I have read fights and considered them dumb despite the presence of stakes or consequences. It doesn't matter whether an action/fight would result in a world-ending catastrophe or just some street-fight brawl because some young master character hates the MC's face in front of them. It all...

    When rating something do you see a 5/10 as average or failing?

    The poll should be kept that way hahaha

    You In The Past

    I started around 2021 when I was too bored, and my mind was saturated with the Courting Death chants, face-slapping scenes, and stupid MCs. Tried to do away with systems and such (though I ended up leaning with them at some point), and had burnouts due to the technicalities that come up with...

    I feel like my views are diminishing

    Some readers will come and go. I also do this as a reader glossing through the first few chapters of a novel, and if I can't seem to immerse myself in the story (due to various reasons), I won't continue. Cheer up brother. Your novel should increase in popularity as you release more. Other...
