    Whether you think about taste or not is up to you. I'm simply judging what I read. Characterization and POV aren't about taste, but about storytelling technique. And yes, maybe I just happened to stumble upon those things by chance... there's no such thing as popularity being the same as...

    A common mindset mistake writers make is confusing narrative quality with popularity. Studying creative writing doesn't guarantee popularity, even if they graduate with a degree in literature. But it's entirely possible for them to write quality fiction (literary). Align expectations and...

    Just depressed.

    I can't help you... it comes back to you. If writing fiction is just a hobby, just enjoy the process. But if your goal is something other than a hobby, you know your needs better than me. :blob_melt:

    Writing Overthinking thumb dislocation?

    Honestly, causal readers won't care much about these kinds of details as long as you have a consistent internal logic to the story. Yesterday... I watched a Chinese martial arts drama. The protagonist was robbed and bound hand and foot. His escape was unexpected: he let a bandit slash him with...
