    What makes someone a person?

    That's rough because the word "human" improperly defines multiple different concepts. Is it a member of the human species (homo sapiens), which would mean the result is a demon, elf, dwarf, dog, fish, or some other non-human? Is it a humane individual, someone who strives towards the ideals...

    When is fanservice not considered NSFW in writing?

    Since everyone else went in on the fanservice angle, I'll go the other way. NSFW literally means 'Not Safe For Work'. So if it's something you wouldn't show your boss or colleagues, then it's NSFW. Porn? Check. Ecchi figurines you got at a convention? Check. Anime in general? Check. The episode...

    Are Slow Starts Too Boring?sl

    Which one would be better for the themes of your story? LotR and the Hobbit both start slow, because one of the themes of the stories is that a humble life is worth protecting. I assume the stories you're thinking of have different themes. Are they similar to your story's themes, or are you just...

    How well does this cover work?

    Try using dark purple instead of black for the darkness around the edges. Maybe I'm just biased though, purple seems to be my color...

    Is This Idea Too Cheesy?

    This is why I don't deal with soft magic systems if I can help it. If this is the problem, then find a different solution that doesn't screw you over. Just have the villain or his boss or his boss's boss directly regress the villain, without giving the MC the chance to wax anyone.

    How would you feel?

    I have a hard time imagining this working out. If it was done perfectly, I might go into shock at such a brilliant twist. Most likely though, I would either see it coming or feel let down / disgusted. Unreliable narrators are also a no no. Anyways, it would be really hard for a villain to slip...

    What do you favor most in attack?

    Hang on, does range even work without the others? Like, the only reason range is a problem normally is because the attack loses the other three properties at range... Which is exactly what happens anyways if you take it over the others. Like sure, if you don't take range you're effectively...

    What’s missing in the Novel Extra genre?

    No no, that is what the story is about. It's the same fantasy as a time loop story. Or potentially even just a regular prophecy story. You can change things for the better. So if the story seems lacking, then maybe it didn't change enough? Maybe the MC was too selfish, or didn't try hard...

    Cleaning your ears isn't inherently bad. The problem is when you take something like a cotton swab and just shove it in your ear, you could either damage the delicate internals, or pack the earwax down like compacted dirt.

    Trying to write crippling overspecialization in a balanced stats system.

    I think the main problem is that you aren't creating clear distinctions between stats. Maybe, but those things are all STR, so there's no conflict here. A marathon sprinter would need STR for burst movement, DEX for control, and CON for lasting the whole way. In other words, this is an...

    Writing Writing a terrorist group

    Do their logos look like this? (Show: RWBY, Song: Lionize) The best advise I can give is to create 'protagonists' for each faction within the organizations. They should each have the same goals and motivations as a normal main character. If you could write an entire book from that person's...

    Disable blocking comments and reviews?

    Are they blocked on the main site, and not just the forum? Was the review posted before you blocked them? You don't have to answer, those are just the first things that I thought of. If neither of those are the issue, you should try reporting it as a bug to Tony (not with the intention of...

    How Good is my Cover Art

    I believe you need to make a certain number of posts (either of your own, or on other people's threads) before you can post links. As a way to prevent bots from just posting spam all over the place. This is super nitpicky, but the hat seems slightly off. Just needs a little more reference, I...

    Disable blocking comments and reviews?

    The person in question does. Block me then. You claimed that they had a mental breakdown because of something you said. Admittedly though, I never claimed you harassed someone. Guilty conscience much? By what? Blocking every single potential reader on the site? Impossible. The only reason an...

    Disable blocking comments and reviews?

    You can't block comments directly. What you can do, is block people who are harassing you, which incidentally prevents them from commenting on or reviewing your stories. Insults like this are not a 'service' to anyone. This kind of thing is exactly why authors should be allowed to block people.
