    Looking For Something to Read

    Present tense? I can't imagine a story written in present tense, ngl.

    What do you guys prefer while writing an isekai.

    I think it really depends, all stories can be executed good and bad- and that's more important than anything. I think on average, it's better to explore the world with the main character, seeing the different aspects and components of the new world, however there are series where the opposite...

    Biggest mistakes when writing?

    I mean from my own experience the biggest mistake would be taking too long to get to the real story. People don't really like sticking around unless they see promise, so make sure to show them right from the start something interesting, but also make sure to control the pacing. Don't hit them...

    How arrogant were you when you first came here

    I mean I was definitely pretty arrogant when I first came on, still am. But, I've learned that my work isn't as good as I thought it was at the time, however I still think my work is very good even if I know it has flaws.

    How about we inverse the insults

    I guess just cause they liked the story. The reason people don't talk about recieving 5 star reviews with no feedback is because a 5 star review suggests that you shouldn't change anything. Of course, this isn't very constructive, as no stories are perfect, but if you recieve a bunch of 5 star...

    My experience with comedy

    So, to give a bit of context, I wrote (And I say wrote because I've finished writing it), a litRPG dark fantasy series, and comedy is something that has always been an interesting part of the writing experience for me. So when I first started writing my series, I'll be honest- my comedy was...

    Annoying reviews.

    Yeah in my experience a lot of bad reviews are really just people reading the first few chapters, not seeing what they want, and complaining about it. The other way around? Mmm I guess that could be the case but I haven't seen as many good reviews which have no substance.

    how many minutes of face to face conversation you get in one day

    It really depends on the day, but these days, most of the time, 0. Unless I go out to eat somewhere and speak with someone in a restaurant, I do most of my work from home for college. I do spend a lot of time on calls, whether for work, talking to family, or with friends, but actual in person...

    Writing How to create an evil CHARACTER

    I've created a lot of evil characters, so I'll just give you my own experience. 1. When creating an evil character, there always should be a reason for them to be as demented as they are. Don't ever make them "Evil to be evil." Even if their motivations are selfish or purely sadistic, give...

    How Long Before the Pay Off (Tags)?

    Look I went hundreds of chapters before adding on certain tags to my story. If they don't wanna read it don't read it.

    How do you add sidequests to your story?

    When I was writing my novel, there was never a situation where I had to stick to the main character's perspective. As a matter of fact, writing in 3rd person I would often switch perspective from one person to another. When it comes to side stories, all that really is to me is something which...

    Writing Style

    I like plotting and planning a lot of stuff, but at the same time there are a lot of things which can only be written in the moment. The flow of the conversation and focus, each sentence and what it builds up to, and the specific actions which each person takes. I usually have a general goal and...

    How do you come up with names?

    I usually base people's names on their personality or position. If they're a monster, I make up something that sounds slightly inhuman. If they're a noble, I make up something that sounds fancy and prestigious. If they're a peasant, I give em a short, regular name. Depends on the character.

    Self learning a new language as a baby in an isekai

    Yeah it's just you listen and listen and listen. I learned Japanese just by watching subtitled anime, and eventually my mind would link certain words to the sounds being produced by the voice actors. One word at a time, I learned the language. Now heres the thing. As someone learning a...

    Your purpose for writing?

    Yeah I guess I write because I truly enjoy writing. Not just writing though. The entire aspect of creating a world, a cast, a plot, and a story. Weaving all these intricate little elements together is something that honestly brings me so much enjoyment, and it's unlike anything I've ever done...
