    Do you guys write side stories?

    Not necessarily stories in the same universe, but ones about a side character or some major event that has affected the main story.

    Bare minimum for a superpower

    Limiter removal, for a normal person it increases stats, but they’re not superhuman and they still suffer injuries for going past it.

    How harsh are you on your main characters?

    Do they just cruise through their stories? Or are they usually suffering one way or another? Or do you go for a balance of something bad every once in a while?

    Oversimplified

    Please overly simplify your protagonist, main antagonist, and their conflict with each other.

    7 Deadly Virtues

    My interpretation of the 7 Heavenly Virtues in excess, basically toxic versions of them. Kindness - Unwillingness to hurt or upset anyone under any circumstances. Charity - Giving away possessions (time, energy, resources, happiness) to those in need without regard for oneself. Patience -...

    Trash, then rewrite

    Despite all the time I’ve spent brainstorming character arcs, the power system, and possible turning points throughout my story, I haven’t gotten to actually writing it. I wrote a few chapters way back, but I’ve stalled on them and haven’t got back to it. I’m thinking about going and just...

    Your Favorite Antagonist

    Out of all the antagonists in your novel(s), which is your favorite? Mine is the one-sided rival of my Mc, who constantly overestimates and misinterprets her and the things she does. Like the Mc almost killed a guy in a match in such a casual way that the rival saw it as ruthless, calculating...

    Fitting color scheme

    I’m trying to think of a decent color for my MC but I don’t got anything definitive so far, so please help me… For reference, my MC is short, with a scrawny physique, and tends to dress in comfortable clothing. She also has bed hair in a blood red color and creepy eyes that make her look tired.

    Embarrassing Titles

    Whenever someone has some sort of title or moniker it dignifies them as some sort of big shot, usually. Unlike the natives of the world, my MC, having been summoned, finds most titles to be cringe and embarrassing, she hates her titles because they make her sound evil and/or are just edgy. I’d...

    Do you write genius characters?

    It’s less that I think it’s impossible more so that doing that, even short term, is exhausting and would lead to me burning myself out in some way. Having to think about geniuses and the smart things they would do over the smart things normal people would do as well as how to account for them...

    Do you write genius characters?

    I specifically mean intelligent geniuses with over 200 IQ, I honestly really can’t bring myself to write them. Characters can only be as smart as the author, so unless I write all other characters as varying degrees of idiotic, it’s impossible for me. Though I guess it can be done, doing...

    World domination with low-tier powers

    I’m wondering, whether it be world domination or defeating the bbeg, if you guys could take over your verse with the shittiest powers in it. And I don’t mean JP LN “shitty” where they’re only trash on the surface level, I mean they’re actually bad and you need to be creative with them to do...

    Weapon personalities

    I’m playing with the concept of Ego weapons, basically just weapons with living consciousnesses, though I’m wondering how far I should go with it. Like, should weapons be able to speak and possess complex thoughts? Or should they just have basic feelings which they communicate to their user? Or...

    Power Ranking

    Making two separate rankings does sound more reasonable than trying to mix two fundamentally different power systems together, now that you mention it. Though its not necessarily mages>fighters, more so mages having cooler powers with more variety while fighters are more practical in combat. I...

    Power Ranking

    I'm trying to decide whether I want to leave the power ranking of my story clearly defined with ranks, or more vague and loosely defined with things like novice, average, elite, and the pinnacle with characters being stated to be somewhere within those classifications. And if I do land on...

    Do you think me and my readers will hate me if I insult my main character?

    As long as you're not repetitive with it, you'll be fine.
