I don’t get the impression I’m doing anything particularly groundbreaking in my isekai, and Curtis uses his old life knowledge as a finance bro all the time. Cooking pigs feet with a recipe his nan taught him, basic accounting making him an above average quartermaster, using interview techniques...

So is this something you need to repeat for every arc or do you drop the story once you are no longer incredibly high off of adrenaline and also drugs? It would explain many stories on the internet if people using this method usually drop it at that point.

(Checks options) Ok so good news is that good ol’ Sebastien survived book one in canon anyway. The bad news is that (based on the rules set out) this *probably* happens after Sebastien tried to murder the MC for sleeping with his little sister so that bridge is almost certainly burnt and he’s...

Name Grace Williams Age: Relatively young for the program Gender: Female Patron: Hathor/Sekhmet Power Set: Grace has a fairly defense and support oriented power set, and is a bit weaker than one would expect from a person affiliated with an upper-middlewgoddess. She can create barriers of...

Elizabeth was born in a rural town to a single father (death by childbirth, naturally). He didn’t really know what else to do with her, so he trained her in his craft as a hunter and woodsman from the moment she was off of her all-milk diet. She’s a cocky human tomboy who has the swagger of...

•••••••••• 10 dots. I do most of my writing on my phone lol

To be fair, given what’s getting attention there’s a good chance you’ve only seen the worst part. Like some kind of inverse movie trailer. Not that I felt like the rest was great or anything. But rage bait is the way of the internet these days.

I mean personally I do it constantly. I enjoy playing with AI art generators. It doesn’t necessarily result in perfect art, but with enough iterations you can get a decent enough pic that conveys the vibes you want using whatever program you like. Even Bing ai. Adequate quality to serve as a...

You need to have the right humor for your story in particular, and fit it in properly. I don’t care if you are Dave Chapelle, stopping for a 5 minute stand up comedy sketch will feel out of place in a gritty gothic horror scenario. In my story I have a degree of comedy that comes from the...

The speed thing is often overlooked. I kinda went with a have my cake and eat it too idea in my setting. The MC is a TTRPG character; everyone else is experiencing the world in real time. MC is going turn based. This means that he comes off as some kind of tactical genius because every 6 seconds...

To be fair the best treatment for phobias is to VOLUNTARILY confront them. Getting blind sided or forced into them makes them worse, of course. So as long as your friends didn’t literally drag you along or otherwise coerce you, it might be good. My heart goes cold whenever I’m outside alone...

My MCs? Yeah, probably I could take em. Isekai heroes with systems tend to be a little bit overly reliant on external power sources and power ups. If I have access to external power sources and power ups and I understand how they work better than my MCs? No contest. Every character in the...

Idk. So far it’s a pretty damn short story. Lots of people wouldn’t give a story the time of day until it has at least 10 chapters, probably more. Most likely you just haven’t really built up much steam. Give it time, my dude. edit: It’s also not like you are writing something that has the...

I procrastinate enough generating ai art on free websites. I can not imagine how much more time would be diverted from writing if I was actually drawing. Getting to a reasonable level of proficiency in one art form took long enough.

Emrys goes into a trauma spiral about the horrible things his abusive drow mother would do to him if he allowed such insults to go unanswered. He would black out, and wake up surrounded by chunks of frozen gore after having frozen his opponent to death and then battered the corpse in a panicked...

Yeah Warhammer Fantasy, much like 40k, has several decades of lore stacked up. The three main elf factions are separated primarily based on their religion and culture, with some very old divisions making the high and dark elves especially very not ok with one another.

So… Warhammer Fantasy Druchii? Who are basically indistinguishable from Asur elves but split off due to a major political schism and got much more “evil” due to the machinations of a handful of very prominent political, religious, and scholarly figures? We also have the Asrai, or Wood Elves...

If I had to choose just one power? Control/manipulation of toxic substances and disease. Purify food and drink, make alcoholic beverages with some practice, and it has combat applications. Plant manipulation is a close second. I’d slather on dozens of powers if it was me personally getting...

I’m actually writing a story about a guy who was isekaied into the body of a young drow sorcerer in the pathfinder setting. In that setting, Drow are a subset of a certain kind of elves (cave elves) that hid from a big disaster on the surface by burrowing deep, deep underground. Unfortunately...

Hell no. Absolutely not. Nuh uh. Unless you go so hard with illustration that it’s basically a graphic novel, its best to write without assuming that people have internalized the illustration. At best, you can take the opportunity to focus more on aspects of them that are not shown by the image...
