    Writing Need help with finding a word for magic mana monster mutations

    So in my stories, playing in a medieval fantasy world, the world had something like a minor apocalypse through the introduction of magic (it was more advanced before). All kinds of catastrophes, and world-shifting effects. One thing in particular would be that some living beings who got...

    Writing Prompt Evil Heroine Yuri

    I guess the problem with that idea is that if she's genuinely manipulative and evil she wouldn't make for an enticing matchup. For once, the audience is already manipulated at this point to hate her. Even with a redeeming arc, there's going to be severe animosity and opposition among the...

    I have been finally poached.

    Then what am I doing wrong?!??? Why isn't anyone poaching me? My stories are doing decently well. I feel so left out. (Though, I haven't even figured out how to add those story links to the comments. So maybe I'm not that professional.)

    The pain of Scribble Hub

    Feeling the purest form of obsession. A sense that warrants an action that will still never satisfy the mind. A need to move in a certain way, cause a feeling, make you ascertain something, comfort this metaphorical rash in your mind, only to realise that this wasn't enough, that it never will...

    Asking for tips on making slow-pacing interesting

    Personally, I think having a first-person perspective and letting your character simply experience situations helps a lot. If it's slow-paced you can go about describing their whole day from start to end without sudden gaps.

    Who would you save or not?

    Oh damn, I basically constantly send my own characters into other franchises to change things I don't like. The first coming to my mind would be the nice adventurer team in overlord.

    Which is the scene you are most proud of having written?

    There were actually some I personally liked when I wrote them. The real special ones are those that came naturally to me. Those I didn't plan beforehand to write, but which came just like by themselves when the time was right. The one that right now came first to my mind was when my protagonist...

    First Person POV advice needed

    In 1st person is a direct depiction of a person's thoughts. You are trying to immerse yourself in that perspective. Their own character should be displayed in their inner language and focus. You need to balance what the character would have enough interest to pay attention and go into detail...

    You got isekaid into your own novel

    The world itself would be decently survivable, depending on the exact location, yet obtaining powers probably quite difficult without connections (of the kind that have a higher probability of killing you rather than offering a favor). Would probably be quite vexing for me to know what all is...

    Recommendations Story with fairy MC

    Maybe a bit late, but not long ago my friend Saril posted "Fairytale", which is about a girl being turned forcefully into a fairy. It was a collaboration between me and them. It's now at chapter 5 and there'll be regular weekly updates. I find it pretty good, I need to say.

    Writing Story Links

    I'd like to ask how to post story links in a chapter. I'm not sure if it's possible, but at least in the forum, I saw many examples of people having their story's cover and title below their posts which directly link to their stories. Now I'd like to do the same in a chapter announcement. I...

    What is the biggest mistake a new writer can make?

    But that's exactly what I did and the stories are still doing well.

    What's wrong with the writing style and integrity of the Chinese and Japanese authors nowadays?

    Uh, I write like this. Don't think that my stories are for retarded. On another note, I believe that there are other things one could argue about in chinese writing. Like for example flaunting questionable morality. I'm still shocked from the one where the mother cracked her daughter's head open...

    Has anyone else had this problem with Royal Road?

    Meanwhile, I'm asking myself how I got through with not having a sexual content tag in any of my stories when in one my female protagonist was tied naked to a wall and forced kissed by a slime, and in the other, the protagonist started laying insect eggs. Both on SH and RR. (Though the majority...

    What have been your strangest reader expectations of your story?

    Yeah, the "you don't write enough" comment on free chapters (don't even do monetarization). I've got one that told me my story develops too slowly and I don't even write enough. All of this in quite the condescending tone after " ending with that he's going to drop it. But the weird was, some...

    Anyone got any stories that aren't isekai or fan related

    I feature non-human protagonist stories with natives rather than isekai. Some comments said they liked how it's different from these tropes.

    Congratulations! You get isekai'd as your main protagonists

    C-can I quickly update another one?

    Which Chaos God would your MC follow?

    One shouldn't forget that Slaneesh is also the chaos god of perfection. They have a soft spot for whoever excesses in a certain field.

    Shared universe link between different author profiles

    Basically, yes. I wrote the first 20 chapters of it, but have absolutely not the time to regularly release that one as well. So it was nice that I could at least send it someone instead of letting it rot away. They asked if they could write on it and I agreed since it's nice to have anything to...
