    What got you into reading and what kinds of things have you enjoyed reading before?

    After high school I no longer had a lot of time to waste. I started reading manga because I could read it faster than watching anime or tv. Then when I ran out of manga I liked I naturally transitioned into reading, which I could also consume faster than tv

    Is anyone doing Art Fight this year?

    I don’t know what art fight is. But if it doesn’t exactly coincide with the random bursts of inspiration and motivation I receive then I probably won’t do it.

    How do you get book covers for your book

    Can't speak for other countries, but as of current in the US ai images are uncopyrightable. So even if you used AI generated content, even if you took from someone else, they cannot stop you from monetizing it.

    When reading, what makes a world appear generic. (In terms of worldbuilding)

    There is a difference between what makes something generic, and what makes something cliched, though I think the difference is very subjective. Certain stories may actually benefit from a generic setting. If I’m making a story very character focused, and interaction heavy, I may not want a...

    How do you pick or choose the names of your characters and cities in your book

    Some names have meaning and thought put into them. My current mc has the name Aubrey, which is derived from the German name Albericht, Oberon in English, and is depicted as the king of fairies in folklore. Most names however I either use a random generator, or if I’ll just look at an irl...

    How do you get book covers for your book

    Used to us ai mixed with photos, but now I draw my own. A lot of them are for unrealized or dropped stories though it’s an inside joke for SHF

    What is the most unusual but grounded martial art you've created and\or used in a novel?

    Mc in my story is a pixie/sprite type fairy. Her martial art uses a thin needle like sword, and focuses almost entirely on flying around faster than an arrow, and stabbing people directly in the neck/spine/eyes to instantly kill or disable them.

    Sell me on your MC, not your story

    One of my reader’s related my mc’s fighting style to yondu from the guardians of the galaxy movies. So if you liked those scenes you might like the action.

    Can a mecha be considered a character?

    Devil Gundam is an obvious example. But if your criteria is that it needs to be piloted to be a mech then that makes it a bit more nebulous but I can still see some examples. An example I can think of for that is the titan legions and knight houses in warhammer 40k. In their lore the machine...

    Who would win?

    Depends on the equipment. If the harem writers have wooden stakes and garlic then it’s a one sided stomp

    Who Has Read the Holy Trinity and What Do You Think About It?

    Read Trash of the count's family till like chapter 400. It is fine, after awhile it starts to feel samey. With just how long the web novel is, it's hard not to be repetitive at points. Not bad, think I might pick it up again if I run out of stuff to read. But not good enough to make me hold my...

    What's your take on expository world building?

    Exposition is only good when the reader wants to hear it. You need a reader to have some sort of investment in the narrative before you do a lore dump. But if they’re invested said lore dump can be just as enjoyable as any other part of the story

    IS IT ADVISABLE TO RELEASE ONCE A WEEK OR EVERYDAY?

    More frequent uploads is better but it doesn’t mean much if you burn out on your story after a few weeks. I upload once every 1 to 2 weeks, while it isn’t the best for getting readers it has helped me stick with the story.
