War crimes and the alike are a more common thing in traditional publishing. Of course, especially historic fiction. The simple reason is: the majority of readers don't want to read about war crimes. That stuff is horrific to no end and simply doesn't fit the mood of most webnovels which are...

Those were just two funny quotes from the new video for someone who is really active on SH. Of course, they were a bit out of context, but the thought brought a smile to my face... Like that one person who goes to a concert and looks totally out of place because he doesn't really likes the...

- Doesn't like anime girl covers - Doesn't like furry (anime) girls You are on your own here :D

The problem with your example (and why people call it a mistake) is that the thoughts of the character and the action don't have a clear seperation. It makes reading it really hard, which is why there are the usual conventions about how to display it. For your example: "She threw a grenade and...

I would say "needs to be" and justify it with it: If we look at "story theory", then it goes down to the scene level where "the value at stake" needs to change. Any chapter needs to go from "bad to good", "good to better", "good to bad", or "bad to worse". Each genre will only give you one...

You can do that when you write a certain style in first person POV. There you can actually just use style to make clear that those are his thoughts and switch to present tense monologue without italics. For third person POV, it is a lot harder. Still possible, if you focus on one character...

Don't be so mean. Not everyone is like you and writes 10k words chapters :blob_teary:

No, you didn't. Stop making stuff up. You said "I guess I understand a bit more..." minutes before my post came out, which was already being typed at that time. Nowhere in the entire discussion was there a "My bad" or "apologized in some way". Your posts were just: A: "All man who like rape are...

Then let me get the thread a bit more back to topic: Oh, I'm actually the same. "Proper romance" has a lot to do with "stalling". Either through society, or a third party, or just plain stupid characters. The typical "Just kiss already" reaction while reading it. I tried and failed miserable...

I never said that? But "I didn't know" makes the stupid thing you did not any better either. I personally just dislike people who have no idea what they are talking about, spout utter nonsense, and afterwards play the victim card because "you aren't nice to them." It's the perfect mix of...

I'm not really looking at certain genre and more towards a certain atmosphere. LitRPG, Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Harem - if I want to have something to read without thinking too much about it. Just a little timewaster to entertain me for a few chapters in the train or whatever. More or less...

"if you use those two round stuff on your face" you would see, that I didn't insult you, but the utterly wrong stuff you were writing. Which, yeah, is a difference ;) Oh yeah. "I talked utterly bullshit about something I had no idea of, making a broad asumption about all men in general...

Oh, if it is that hard, I can make it easier for you: Now you'll also see, how I didn't agree with you. To think, that fiction has any bearings on reality is just... idiotic. It's like saying "That person liked a slasher movie, he is a mass murderer", "That person likes ego-shooters, he will...

The biggest problem simply is, that "not dense harem protags" are mostly just plain assholes (except you go the over-the-top comedy route). There are some protagonists with in the ecchi-section, who need to grow a harem for magic/strength/etc-purposes, but besides that, it's hard. If your...

Congratulations for writing one of the most idiotic things I've read in a long time... :blob_party: -------------------------------------------------- On topic: I agree with a lot of it, although I disagree when it comes to the generalizations. Harem in itself is a genre that probably...

The perfect chapter is long enough to give me the new information/development I want and short enough so that I don't get bored by the unnecessary stuff or fluff. It isn't really about the word count. That said, in my writing I hit that point with around 1.5k to 2k words for most chapters...

Mind over matter. I realize that "school" is just a concept and "work" is only an illusion, then turn around, and go back to sleep.

A fun idea for a future video might also be to look at random covers (let someone else looks for some covers and send them to you) and you have to guess the tags/rough story idea/atmosphere. Also - as said above - a link in the description would be cool. Just for viewers who think "X looks...

Honestly, I would say: this here is the problem. Of course, writing is more fun when you have reader-interaction and positive feedback, but writing (or telling a story) itself should also be fun for you. If you only feel good with success, this will become a really toxic hobby as - like with...
