I think the reason some people like really long titles is so they know what they are getting a glance. However, I don't like having to read an entire paragraph every time I look at the cover. And I can just imagine someone finding a popular story like that and releasing their own with just one...

My mistake. Still, the names makes sense because these Supers are born from Shatterings.

The monsters are born from a Shattering, so it makes sense to me. Are they the only monsters, or are there ones that come through the Rifts? If the latter, then those ones could be called Riftborns

Always keep copies of your work. At least 2, just in case one goes down.

I have 3 possible reasons. I started a story on Royal Road set in a school for potential Deities, where anyone can enroll. Yes, anyone. A bunch on anime and manga geeks are included and want to make a world with such a system. So the reason there is the Gods are just geeks having fun with the...

Imagine a homophobe that is gender bent:LOL:. "I'm really a man, and straight, liking women. But if I like women right now they will make me lesbian, which is unnatural. My body instinctively likes guy, but that would make my mind gay! Must avoid all potential sexualization at all cost!"

So, Demons and killer robots are fine then. Good to know.

If there is no difference to the character caused by the gender change, then why have it? It can have a few different ways of working in a good story. Here are 2 of them: 1) They learn to see things from a different perspective. Goes double if other things are changed about them, or they are...

So, the trope is "Powerful dude get's reincarnated and hides their power"? I can understand the idea of "Able to kick ass, but don't need to." Avoiding assassins would be good motivation. Same with "Gods, I am FRICKING BORED! No damn challenge!" However, calling on powers to just solve your...

Mythbusters tested duel wielding handguns. The results: only OK under one circumstance. If you fire both guns at once while just standing up, the first shot might work, but recoil will screw up your aim otherwise Firing alternating while standing will have the recoil from one shot screwing up...

If you are reading this where others might see it, or during a break at work, then the warnings are important so you can avoid any NSFW chapters there! There is a difference between mature, erotica, porn and smut.

Firstly I go for readability at a glance. The strong letters on 5,4 and 1 pass that. Second I look at things that seem odd for no apparent reason, like why TOP is unusually large in #1, making it feel off to me. Next I am looking at how they go together. I can't really see a reason why #4 is in...

Imagine an elf wondering around, and goes to a city. It seemed the last time he as there it was just a small village, and he left in a hurry, while owing the local tavern for a couple of drinks. Well, compound interest on 3 gold pieces build up over 400 years, and they want their money!

Perfectly? Don't even need to bother doing that. Genre is not an exclusive system. It is just a way of describing your story. If you have to list just one genre, then ask yourself: What is the main plot line focused on. Other genre can be listed, but only if they are reasonably represented...

What I don't like is how Isekaied people seem so chill and well adjusted to what the F*** is happening to them. They have been abducted, becomes unwilling combatants who now need to fight to survive, and have no idea what the heck they are doing. They also have no idea if they could ever get...

I don't follow the genre much, but here are two nice facts: The Mane Six from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic can be considered a Magical girl group, and their fandom is mainly in the overlap between fans of that, and furries. If they get their power from an outside source, like the Spirit...

When it uses what could happen, making you realize just how lucky you are not to be that way. Imagine if something happened so we can't tune out the sound of our heartbeats. Hearing the blood pulsing through our eardrums all the time, unable to concentrate or think, not able to sleep. The only...

One thing I've seen in mangas is a character using a sword and it breaks very soon afterwards. Not during the actual fight ow impact, but afterwards. I have thought of a way to justify this: in some Asian cultures there is a belief that a person can channel their spiritual energy through a...

RR is covering itself. One thing you have to look at is legal protection. There are various things that might cause problems and some sites want to avoid them. Things that can cause problem include copywrite violations (which is why they check to make damn sure the person copying it over is the...

. . . I was taking a guess based on how horrible people are. I fear what the fanfics of that would be like. Then this will make you feel better: in some prison systems around the world it is. Plus they add in torture and all other kinds of nasties. No, I am not talking about officially either.
