For villains, there are two kinds I accept, and one I don't. The first, most easy to write would be the selfish type. This kind of person exists. If they see an advantage they may go for it, no matter the cost (for others, but that's a sacrifice they are willing to make). They'll steal, ploy...

Wench good-for-nothing... (add occupation) Scoundrel Douche Any of that helpful?

Clearly water. As this was what my first original character was about. A perfect elemental being that can form any possible structure with water and accelerate it to incredible speeds. To me, it's the most versatile. Although, depending on what you attribute to darkness, it may do similar...

In general, for a common fantasy world, I'd like to avoid all those where magic allows individuals to change the topography. Weapons like swords and shields have to remain relevant, or every non-mage simply gets lost in irrelevance. This kind of nobody can carry any weight is like the worst for...

Depends on whether one wants traditional cuisine, or just to eat well. In the former, I'd recommend for Germany, to find a restaurant that serves "Haxe" (pork knuckle; though, you likely won't find it under that term). (it should look like this) However, I should warn that one could use to have...

But please not when the MC is a guy! Those covers are LIES!!!!

Not sure if this counts, but I'm working on an anthology about a group of angels in my Eldritch story (the first having made its appearance in the most recent chapter), each featuring an individual angel's origin. Those would be more short story-like.

I think a strong influence was how disappointed I was about the second twist in "I'm a Spider, so What?" For those who know/don't mind the spoiler: I felt so betrayed back then. Like the one point of the novel was suddenly erased. After that, I was quite often disappointed by how non-human MCs...

Are we specifically talking about heroes? Because I got an OP character who is absolutely in no need to do any heroic act, but has severe mental issues that come with the way her powers manifest. Yes, she's OP, but she's also a mental wreck, and kinda was so even before the powers.

I usually write longer continuations. My stories are transformation stories with heavy emphasis on the psychological aspects. I pretty much like the concept of "power you don't want". The MCs struggle with their fate, and are meant to act as realistically as possible, as someone, who got just...

Then don't add the human in the first place. I was talking here specifically about transformation and reincarnation. If you want a monster MC, then write an original monster. Why add a human into the mix if you don't want a human?

Transformation/monster reincarnation stories! Many do them poorly, in my opinion. Especially, if the setup turns their mentality just into what they transformed. They make the new body align with their minds, often turning into straight-up psychopaths. It's hardly interesting if the result is...

Regarding cultivation, I think the biggest issue is invincibility. The main trope, which I also despise most, is that it shows a quite severe Chinese mentality of thinking in tiers. As if there's an impossibility to even measure up to someone above you. I saw several examples of cultivation...

2 and 4 look bad. 2 is overlighted, and 4 got those vacant eyes with the demon girl. 1 looks better than the others, but the demon got a nice, supportive vibe on it. More like the friendly childhood next door, who just happens to look like she came from a Halloween party, not a genuine demonic...

Not sure how well it qualifies, but my story Slime Girl got a pretty obsessive second MC, who transforms the first MC into a slime and quite severely clings to her. Though, quite often the first MC can get her to make concessions.

My story Eldritch got something like that. Although, while she is quite OP, MC is also quite the mental wreck about having turned into a tentacle monster. So she tries to stay incognito and is usually easily pressured, because she got a rather timid personality.

I can recommend "Bocchi the Rock" for insight into actual social anxiety. Yes, it's to a degree displayed over the top, but the actual reasoning, inhibitions, social issues are pretty accurate. Stuff like not being able to enter a place, because the feeling of what might happen if you do that...

Shari, a medieval village daughter of a herbalist, gets abducted by Liqu, a mutated slime, and transformed into one, obsessed Liqu won't leave her alone, Shari wants to survive/not get killed on sight, while still existing in civilization, fantasy world, with rather basic elemental magic (mages...

I got blocked on RoyalRoad by an author because of commenting. I absolutely swear, I didn't say anything too harsh. I only said I didn't fully buy a scene, where two muggers are directly about to kill a girl by slicing her throat, right next to the main street, after she struggles a bit with...

Shari has the fascinating ability to jinx herself to a degree that it borders propability manipulation. Also, she blames the world (aka me) like a sentient entity to screw things up for her.
