Magic systems and their implementation and introduction should be thought of in the same way that the characters in the story would think about scientific topics. I'll provide three examples. Guns are a scientific marvel of engineering. To use a gun requires very little knowledge of the...

On chapter 166, a little less than half-way through. Haven't missed a single chapter publish schedule yet.

Only insofar as you treat it as a non-income hobby. If you are working towards some goal (making money or some self improvement) then depending on what you mean by real life, this can be false.

Write a brief outline, or even just have a mental outline. Where do you want the story to go, what are your major arcs. If you have that, you shouldn't write yourself into a corner, and you won't be constrained. If you want to change an arc, you can, but you'll know that you might need to...

I always always recommend keeping a schedule. If you can't post, then don't. That said, the best thing you can do is build up a small stockpile so you can smooth out for the times when you can't. If it's 1 chapter a week, best to publish 1 chapter a week. Readers get upset when you miss a...

I sometimes read once, sometimes I read 0 times (when a friend is going to read it before it gets posted). I write, then schedule, write and schedule. What if there are plot holes or things aren't perfect? It's easy to get around that for me, I have one goal in mind. If the story is popular...

I think it depends if you plan to finish them, personally. You don't want people to associate your name with a bad feeling.

The origins of Isekai as a genre go back way further than modern times. There are lots of Eastern (and even a few Western) stories from hundreds, if not thousands of years ago that involve a character getting transported to a new world. The origin of RPG elements within those stories can be...

You can make them sound smart, appear smart, but they cannot actually be smarter. "I cannot know what I don't know" applies here. They can be more quick witted though, since the author can think for longer than the character can in short time spans.

About 2 months to start hitting its stride. 4 months until it hit its upper bound on scribblehub, still growing on royalroad (1 year in).

I've always found paid reviews to be scummy, whether its the entire hollywood industry, where rotten tomatoes reviews are in the 90% and audience score is like 30%, or on Amazon where it's very very clear that someone paid for reviews. I don't mind when authors incentivize readers to review...

It fully depends on the kind of story you intend to write, however, my personal feelings on this are that without developing an internally consistent logic by which the magic works, you'll inevitably power spiral your magic system to the point where nothing matters. Easy or Hard doesn't...

Have you searched your youtube history?

I personally won't read it, but I'm interested in the statistical speed at which it gets swept up into every genre. I've already seen like 20 different pornographic renditions on twitter of it, someone mentioned a fighting game, I'm just wondering how fast people jump on it in different genre...

Now that he's public domain and all... Which of you degenerates is already writing some smut using it?

Think more like pokemon, and less like the lizardman shaman from goblin slayer.

I feel as though I've been misnamed...

I think its possible to successfully use a hybrid system. Thats how I write. I keep an ongoing list of the MC's goals and things I'd like them to do. Then I also keep a list of events that are going to happen in the world at set and relative points (examples would be: earthquake happens in...

This is just my 2 cents input on this, so take it for what it's worth. I myself would prefer to operate in a world where patreon alternatives actually make money, but so far, I find that they do very little. If you intend to make money, then utilizing patreon is a must. It is a sad reality of...
