Read any Ciaphas Cain book in the Warhammer 4000 setting. They are uplifting and comedic but set in the dystopian future that coined the term Grimdark. It looks from his perspective, which can be cheerful, even when facing powerful Demons. Follow that example and look from the perspective of a...

Just a few ideas from me: Evan: Maybe the reason he was considered an orphan was because he was a kid of the last Demon king, or a descendent? There might be others out there he has to face? Why is he so good or women so readily agree? Maybe an aura? Hmm, maybe he is an incarnation of the sin...

I could not follow it, what with Blessed Lands and other things. I had to look up Gu as well, but could understand what it is. It seems like you want to make a cultivation story, but don't understand the essence of it. Thus, you are adapting bits and pieces you see elsewhere. I may be wrong...

Know what the subject matter is like. I've seen "fanfic" written by people who have only read other fanfic of what they were basing their story on.

Sometimes they can be very enjoyable. Other times they are badly done. One issue is their motives. What drives them? If it justifiable in their eyes people may not consider them to be villains. But if it is not then people may see them as just crazy. For me often a good written Evil Protagonist...

If anyone considered my stories to be that good, then they should be considered certifiably insane

What would I do is any of my stories became insanely popular? Worry about the how everyone is certifiable.

The simplest answer for this in your story is: However you want them to work. For in other people's stories: however that author wants. Just please have it make sense.

You could use commodity currency. Set an assigned value to a commodity and use them as trade goods. Japan used to do that. They tried coins, but counterfeiting made them drop it after a while. Since you can use the item, it has inherit value that does not exist solely in people's imagination.

I have not read it it. You have to look at his motives. Does he kill just to protect himself? Then hunting people down is no. Does he kill to become more powerful? Then those who won't boost him won't happen normally. Does he kill because they deserve it? Hunting people down is reasonable and...

Fantasy these days means magic, but it was the common name for fiction in the past, because fiction was just fantasies written down. Isekai means people traveling to a different world. Maybe it's by magic, or by a portal like in Sliders. Heck, the oldest known Space Opera was written in 200bc...

Don't forget background, because despite all starting off the same levels, that battle hardened folk hero and that village farmer have different histories. What I don't like is being stuck by not being able to learn skills from other subclasses, or the class design is bad. The Mastermind and...

There is an old Buddhist saying: The only constant is change. I think what happened is they considered people wanting to do good to be too standard, and unrelatable. They had to give them motives, and selfishness is a motive. Some motives can be selfish but drive to do good. Batman and...

All depends on the mood I'm in. For anger, Melee. Control over people's fate, Extra long range for a sniper rifle For total unpredictable chaos? Gossip range. Turning people against each other and messing with their minds can be so much fun. You don't even have to deal with the directly, just...

Set up a stall and promote it with a sign calling it "Mystery Button" Say I don't know what it does, but if anyone wants to take the chance on being rewarded for pressing it, they can press it for $10.

Reading this I immediately thought of Ice Witches from Japanese mythos If they don't stay in area that are basically freezing, they die from being overheated or even melting. Some could argue they had become part Ice Elementals instead of Elementalists I would like to see people have Healing...

The only a few real problems. First is how loamy the soil is. The Nile did not just bring water, but also sediment. Desert sandy is normally not able to provide many nutrients for plants, or retaining water Second is where the water came from in the first place. Maybe the water table or the old...

People would study the local environment and understand how it works. When studying magic, they would most easily use the magic with things they understand. I can imagine people trying to study a range of magic. Water magic in the desert to locate it and to draw moisture out of the air is an...

If you leave it unfinished, it leaves an opening for fans to take it up, or another author to take over with your permission, thus giving the story a proper ending
