Good hooks tend to be questions or situations your readers WANT resolved, answered or investigated. Conflict or peril can work really well. Or something genuinely intriguing/high-stake. If you start off with say a betrayal or a near-death scene like in Arifureta, the initial hook is figuring out...

Ok, I did some digging. (Tinfoil hat on, and just pointing out observations). Turns out this person is likely the same person over on Webnovel who, after 7 moths of inactivity, had a sudden spike of activity and posted this 'original' novel of theirs both there and here (nothing new for...

Complete batshit crazy villains are fun, especially when you can kinda see where they're coming from. The best kinds of villains IMO are the ones that take a different route from the MC for a problem. They have a common cause/goal, but have different solutions, or an ideal that's twisted on the...

Are you sure you've never at least dreamt of an electric sheep 'Iamnotabot'? People will dream of sheep. But machines/androids will dream of electric sheep. Unless you're totally not a bot at all.

Falling, drowning, aspirating, slipping or being eaten. Major recurring themes rather than exact dreams. An actual recurring dream was, I kid you not, a rendition of Alice in Wonderland and an amalgamation other fairy tales. One thing that was super constant were sheep jumping over fences, with...

Firstly, it is your very first chapter. Ergo, at the very bottom and it'll be the first thing anyone sees when wanting to take a deeper look at the story. Secondly, people are absolutely going to look at that first as if it's an extended synopsis. If they like what they see, then they'll heart...

Arbiter.

This is art, Mr White!

GANTZ as well! You are a certified legend.

Revenge stories. I love trash too much, and Arifureta's revenge story sparked way too many neurons. This is my biggest guilty pleasure and it makes any garbage story way more enjoyable in my monkey brain (as long as it has effort put in). Also modern/firearms vs medieval stuff. I am the biggest...

You really want them in your story, preferably at the end of your chapter. If something's come up (i.e IRL stuff, something big, a tease, tag changes, etc), then you want your current readers to see this. Tag changes won't really affect new readers. Plus, your readers won't go out of their way...

Superman 64 just to experience pure pain. But Mario 64 is probably a good one, especially if you've never played it. It's one of my favourite Mario games next to the Mario Galaxy series.

Pure, unadulterated psychological stuff.

Limbus Company. I am so screwed. I basically have the choice of being eaten by people, become biofuel for a bus that runs on synapse fluid, have my organs turned into an instrument, or go worship a piece of paper just so I can live for a minute longer (unless it tells me to die). Spawn in one...

Pyrrhic victories are a tough one. I think it depends on how dark your story is/has been so far. If you do go down the dark route of 'at what cost' then you need proper ramifications. It can start off as an 'at what cost', and move up to 'hope prevails' later down the story when things get...

I guess no one's talking about the final arc, the Book of Revelations?

Oh er... Well, some psycho stuff that makes happy sugar life look like child's play. Tragedy tags galore. But most of them are just perverted/touchy-feely more than smut. I can see these ones being uncomfortable to most people in that regard.

So, you've come to the right place. Although all the stuff I have is manga. There's No Way I Can Have a Lover! *Or Maybe There Is!? - Basically a loner girl gets confessed to by a rich blonde after rescuing the MC (who they thought was committing suicide). Really wholesome, and the romance...

Could be a form of energy that enables the transaction? Like energy (currency) = matter (item).
