this is excellent advice

why @Eldoria doesn't hang out on Discord with us. are we too rowdy? :blob_hug: :blobrofl:

@Our_Lady_in_Twilight @anonjohn @CharlesEBrown Guys, I'll positively assume I'm waaaaaaaaay older than all of you, and have read plenty of first person that I've enjoyed. I go so far back to Judy Blum Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Superfudge, and in Uni suffered through Phillip Roth...

Man, just write third person limited. First Person is for Young Adult trash and self centered teen readers who want to "iDenTiFy" with the protagonist. but in the end all you will do is LIMIT your story telling to the self centered POV, and for the STRAIGHT AMATEURS who post up here, there will...

"RAM" is old school sci-fi comics ala "Alien Legion Comics" Those characters would say "Ram it all" "Ram it down your throat" "Ram it loser"

Having Hot Waifu Best Girl covers doesn't hurt

"Saving all of humanity" is tough to grasp unless their is an obvious world ending event, even self preservation in a story that has not reached a climax where the final bad guy fights our heroe(s), is also an abstract sell. I don't think I'm ever invested in stakes as a reader/or writer until...

This is a LIVED IN world :s_smile:

if we, non litrpg writers, look at the bigger picture. The only two websites around that have a "Display the first chapter on the homepage so that readers can actually view it," are RR and SH. Two websites almost solely dedicated to "LitRPG" and in SH case "Lit, GB, Isekai, and fanfiction" which...

Mob is probably the keyword you want. since those characters (I assume) try to play the background. But good luck because "The Twist" is what keeps a reader. If MC isn't special in anyway then it's basically a slice of life about grinding.

Yes :'( it's especially like that when you are writing fast because the ideas are flowing in your mind, and your notes wind up being a cursive/print mix of shorthand ideas that you'll be like, "I'll know what this means when I come back to it." But more often than not, because you wrote the...

everybody knows the answer. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

:blobrofl: Now now. We all know there's nothing new under the sun. All stories are derivative, mash ups, borrowed parts, from every prior story we ever ingested. Yet we authors still say to ourselves: "I know there's a million {Insert genre} stories. But mine is different, because in my story...

June 23, 2022 I posted Chapter 25. This week I finished chapter 26 and, as we speak, in the middle of writing chapter 27. So 3 years and 5 months. :blob_shade:

Yeah, bots and scammers. Notice they won't say "Specifics." they'll be like "I really liked your story. good job" this is so they can comeback later and ask you to "click on some link" or some such.

That's a DUMB IDEA. just rewrite the first three chapters and continue on.

oh no! I want you to finish them because THERE IS a smug satisfaction when a novel is complete :)

:blob_teary: Because I don't have anything better else to do but finish. On SH I have 4 completed novels. and I'll finish the girls love one in the next 6 months or so. BUT HERE IS THE REAL QUESTION @Eldoria After you finish the novel, then what?? Because the only part I enjoy is the...

He ain't no masochist, he's a troll one starring people's stories on an Amateur writing website, like he's doing someone a favor. MFR, you are nothing but a cvck up here messing with people's stories and acting like you're doing god's work itself, then have the audacity to WHINE about you being...

In one story I wrote, the isekai'd MC was given a brown horse named Artax, and he commented, "That's an excellent name" One of those if you know you know references for any reader. ;)
