    Writing is not just writing.

    Yup, both are big challenges. But to be fair, those are what you do if you want to get better and improve your craft. Taking criticism is all about ego, but even if you can't let it go or quash it (I can't either), then the next best thing is to look at any criticism from what is actually...

    pronouns to abstract character

    For textbooks at least, it refers to a hypothetical person, where you can use either, but they seems to better get across that they're a hypothetical person and not anyone definite. Also, it's a fucking textbook, those aren't written by people who give a shit about things like writing...

    System involving novels(Original novels vs Fanfictions)

    Systems are supposed to be another power system, but one that's based on gsmes and thus familiar to a lot of us nerds. Their biggest pro is that it gives the main character an immediate reward for their hard work. But a very common problem is when authors don't include the hard work. When that...

    The guide trope and why it's sidelined

    I feel like sidelining the guide is baked I to the whole hero's journey. Even with the most ancient stories I know that follow it, the guide leaves as soon as they've done their part. So it goes deeper than a trope, though you're entirely right.

    Given a choice would you harass someone who hasn’t done anybody any wrong?

    1. No, because I have a conscience. 2. See point 1. If you're willing to abandon it for a small gain, did you even have one in the first place? But if we're talking time a million bucks, then I'd poke them and call them stinky or something minor and give them a sizeable portion of the money...

    Does everyone here like "smut" ?

    I personally am not a fan of it. In fact, Im writing a story about a decent guy in a world out of a smut story who rejects all of it to live a decent life! Shameless plug: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/696771/living-it-for-the-plot-rational-isekai-antismut-litrpg/

    Decent guy transmigrated to an NTR/Smut world (No actual smut!)

    Damn, you act like I'm the one being aggressive, when I just asked for clarification while you put an insult in every one of your responses. But yeah, we're not getting through to each other so let's leave it at 'agree to disagree'.

    Decent guy transmigrated to an NTR/Smut world (No actual smut!)

    @SailusGebel Agree to disagree then. I feel like issues you've listed have been addressed in the story, but not in a way that was immediately noticed. Could be that I made it way too subtle or it just went over your head. Like with the freak out, he does almost topple off a railing and even...

    Decent guy transmigrated to an NTR/Smut world (No actual smut!)

    The protagonist has just arrived, and they've only spent 3 chapters trying to figure out what's going on. And if you didn't find the dress-down in chapter 1 or the freak outs in chapter 2 as unfunny, then our taste in jokes are very different. But in terms of actual drama, it'll take a few more...

    Decent guy transmigrated to an NTR/Smut world (No actual smut!)

    I mentioned wanting to make this story a long time ago on the forums, but I've finally stepped up and hammered some of it out! So after getting tired of all of the seemingly interesting sounding stories only to get slapped in the face with those three accursed letters, I decided to write my own...

    I need a list of genres and the worst tropes from them

    What does "too much se" mean? I mean, what does "se" stand for?

    Writing To all the litrpg authors out there, do you plan everything down to the tiny details?

    pfft, no Nitty gritty number details are what computers are for. I've gotten to the point where numbers are just relative and used as a tool to tell how much stronger someone is. And Skill level ups are based on narrative necessities, with perks coming in when they'll be useful soon. But at the...

    Will it be a good idea to publish my novel also in webnovel?

    Magic words? Like abracadabra, Alakazam, or Tiannamen Square Massacre?

    Crossover fanfics vs Multiverse hopping fanfics

    To be fair, that story you posted is the exception to the rule. Literally the greatest HP fanfiction to grace the internet, way better than HPMOR, don't @ me. Also, to answer OP's question, I feel like with crossovers, the author has the opportunity to properly match the themes of each universe...

    What are/were your most memorable childhood toys?

    Buzz Lightyear action figure. But to be fair, I watched Toy Story 2 and "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins" on repeat nonstop when I was 3-6 years old. Oh yeah, and Space Jam whenever I saw it available at the library.

    My current state of experience as a college student

    All the best! Also, don't take career advice from anyone here, since most of them are absolutely NOT qualified or are in high school themselves. Though what @WinterTimeCrime and @KrakenRiderEmma stated are good pieces of advice, which I say as someone who has graduated and is currently working...

    I was going to comment that y'all are horny when I opened this up, but some of you seem kind of sensible in contrast. Either that or you're all just better at hiding it
