I'm doing something like this right now. I'm going so far as to write an entire 40 chapters in advance. 10 will be dropped all at once publicly, ~20 will be on my patreon, and ~10 will be saved up in advance to give me buffer space.

Not insects, bugs. Spiders are not insects. People who classify powers in the series try to claim she controls arthropods, which is a bit more inclusive than "insects," but that still doesn't quite cover everything she can control since she's also able to control worms and full-size crabs in...

Anyway, as for the whole thing you were talking about with a sword, there are a few things to keep in mind with that one. 1st, if they are using a weapon different from a sword, you need to figure out how they are carrying it around with them. Objectively speaking, the overwhelming majority of...

This actually sounds a heck of a lot like an idea I had for an isekai comedy once a while back. It was supposed to be an isekai themed off of the old Montey Python skits with heavy doses of ridiculous British humor, starting with the MC living in a town where half the population were returners...

Used to work, but Tony worked in some kind of AI detection or something that punishes those now. As for what actually does work, I think the title definitely plays a factor. I added a subtitle to my "Key to the Void" series for exactly that reason. Namely, the fact that it allowed me to work...

It's really a strange thing trying to even finish a project you've already got in the works. I have my Key to the Void project that I've been trying to get out for 5 years now, having gone through a full reboot at one point and is now at a state where I need to edit it in order to get it to a...

For me, it's any scene in which I write something that's sociologically challenging to the reader, especially when it brushes up against some current day hot-button concepts, and manages to not really make a definite statement on my own position on the issue. It just plopps something out there...

Did he only use magic or does he also use a sword?

I also have a pension for writing complex magic systems. Here's a super valuable tip I've learned and implemented in my writing. Only explain the parts of your magic system that are IMMEDIATELY relevant. Like, explain it either right before, or even as it is being put into action. This gets...

It's called the Wizard class in Dungeons and Dragons. Oh, no wait. That's the other way around.

Lol, it looks like I picked a horrible time to edit my post. A lot probably got added to it in the time it took you to write this just now. Anyway, I can understand this, and I do really appreciate a lot of the videos you've put out previously. I have no idea why your videos are not more...

She reveals more and more to more of the people as things progress. By the end of book 2, everyone knows the whole story about the reincarnation. Turns out, they actually don't care or find it all that strange because there's actually precedent in the world with fairies being born with memories...

I don't know whether this is because dealing with old mythological lore and portraying god characters in my stories has been a staple of my writing style for a long time, or if it is because there was genuinely something off about this video, but it just felt like this video was not quite up to...

Well, I did exactly this with my Key to the Void series. That said, it is currently on long-term hiatus pending some heavy editing and revision. Essentially, I want to go somewhere with the 4th book that I don't have the proper foundations established for, and adding an explanatory arc between...

Eh, from the trailer, it looks like one of those Madoka Magica clones that took all the wrong lessons from Madoka Magica. As in, it can't just be "magical girl but dark." That's just being dark for the sake of being dark. What made Madoka Magica good was the deep psychology and the way it...

Are you talking about the setting for Madoka Magica's true villain? If so, that's my thought. It's a good setting, but it does it's job as a setting and stays in the background. Tricky, considering that's something that'd be a pretty big reveal in any other series, but Madoka Magica has so many...

Madoka Magica. Like, there's a super impactful memorable scene that re-defined fiction every 2 or 3 episodes of that series. Just pick one. Of particular note, Mami's death, "you just threw away your friend," and Sayaka's witch transformation. I suppose Homura's flash-back of previous timelines...

Ok, I said death was one trigger for her time-loop, but it's not the only trigger. She also has a voluntary method where, as long as she has enough magic, she can travel back in time by a few hours. The voluntary time-travel method is actually more controllable than the death method too...

Yeah, with each new series I write, fighting against my protags becomes an increasingly bad idea. Ironically, my most recent protag is both the easiest and hardest to kill. She's a time-looper protagonist. So, yeah. The mere act of killing my protagonist also ends the current time-line I'm on...
