    Divine bureaucracy

    I agree, worship would be the currency of the gods, both explicit by rituals and prayer and by actions related to the domains of the respective gods. A god of war gets fueled by actions related to war, from training soldiers and warriors to actually fighting. A god of creativity gets fueled by...

    Recommendations Multi-person romance with actual romance

    I just realized I forgot two of my favorites: Lets Explore and Enjoy Department of Otherworldly Crime Both move rather slowly, time wise, but with surprisingly much happening. That's what happens when you skim through the reading list filtered for harem, you'll miss stories that have tags...

    Is it OK to pierce a baby's ears?

    That would be one of the potential problems. Babies touch everything and have bad coordination. It's really easy for them to get dirt into the newly pierced ears and trigger an infection. It's really easy for them to injure themselves when they get earrings tangled up in something they are...

    Recommendations Multi-person romance with actual romance

    Poly relationships are hart to get right, and as you described even the harem setup centered around one main character can get written badly. Of the harem variety, Arifureta somehow manages to keep all partners in the spotlight, though none of the girls move from close friends and love rivals...

    Is it OK to pierce a baby's ears?

    Hard disagree on the first sentence. History is full of messed up stuff that was considered OK because it was done by 'the majority', but that doesn't mean these things were OK by any universally applicable moral framework and only became immoral because we grew as a culture. And a moral...

    What do you think about minimalistic style of writing?

    I've found I like both, and both very much depend on genre, context and proper execution. For example, in mystery stories, I like to ty and solve the mystery in question. Detailed descriptions, especially those that include clues (and red herrings) the characters themselves didn't pick up on...

    Do you think "standard" isekais are over?

    Was there ever such a thing like "standard" isekais in the first place? Sure, what you describe is a very prominent part of the recent boom of the genre, and may well have boosted its popularity quite a lot, but that doesn't really make them a standard template for Isekai stories. Remember, the...

    Reincarnating in a isekai world, who would you choose as your forced spouse?

    Obviously join the Succubus Queen as her horny monstergirl GF and help add more girls to the collection.

    For female readers who read harem stories, why?

    Add to that that many of the typical harem stories have male MCs so bland and generic that you can sometimes ignore that they are male and self-insert in their place anyway, especially since the mainstream ones rarely move into the smut territory, so their equipment doesn't really matter. I...

    You were isekai’ed, into a modern world. In this world some people have powers (I.E. X-men). You were given the ability to transmute objects. What do?

    I doubt you'd get a dory explosion from small scale transmutations in the body, especially if it's transmutations of solids or liquids into gasses, since gasses have a very big range of density, if you will, and most of the tissue will be flexible enough to compensate. When targeting the spine...

    You were isekai’ed, into a modern world. In this world some people have powers (I.E. X-men). You were given the ability to transmute objects. What do?

    While there are a lot of things that are lethal in small doses and can act really fast (looking at you, Australia), the simplest thing would probably turning a really small portion of blood into air for a stroke on demand without any visible signs.

    How much is anime novel worth? 255 readers.

    That qualifies as GL subplot at best, especially if the MC is male. GL as tag or genre is for exclusive GL relationships, which one fits better depends on how much of the story is focused on the romance (and potentially smut). Also, bisexual lesbian isn't a thing, just bisexual. People don't...

    You were isekai’ed, into a modern world. In this world some people have powers (I.E. X-men). You were given the ability to transmute objects. What do?

    If there is no inherent limitation in terms of complexity, this can become incredibly powerful. The first few days would probably be spent turning something simple and abundant into gold, something like Nitrogen, simply taken from the air. I'd then use these funds to get trustworthy people...

    (Solved) How much can I get away with without the 'gore' content warning.

    Definitely not gore. I've seen authors add short content warnings at the start of chapters as authors notes. That way it's present but distinguished from the chapter itself, so at least for me, it doesn't take me out of it. If you think your readers would want that, you could go with that. Just...

    Character death

    There are many different ways and very few of them are bad per se. If you want it shocking, you can go for a character being cut off mid-sentence by whatever kills them, maybe adding one or two lines of '...' to really bring in the shock the other characters feel, before continuing the...

    Writing Prompt Transmigrated to half a lifetime ago- what would you do?

    Investing in Bitcoin would be a really good way to covet the financial side. I'm torn on other big changes. I met a bunch of my best friends on university, so changing my courses would have an impact there, but looking back, I'd want to study something more practical than what I have. Oh, I...

    Favourite armor.

    Obviously, power armor that doubles as a nun habit and has enough ornamentation for a small church is superior to everything.

    My 10+ Rule of Writing

    I's a tool, nothing more and nothing less. How it's used is the important aspect. Waking up with a headache and no memories of the last day in a locked room can be a good start if the reason as to why they are there is a mystery that gets uncovered throughout the story. Starting before that...
