    Unsure what Readers feel

    I personally am a believer (as a fellow writer) that as a writer, I should do my best to help the reader/audience understand what I’m trying to say as best as I can. Perhaps you could find some middle ground? You could ask around for an editor who might help you iron out how to keep your style...

    Release Schedule Opinions and Debates

    Hmm, those are some real stuff to think about. I don't know about the growing a fanbase part, but as for story progress, I lowkey don't think release speed should have much to do with that, because there will always be (theoretically?) more people who read it all at once (in the future)/at their...

    What words you always misspell?

    I'm late!! BUT!!!! I've been eyeing this forum for the longest time because I knew there was a word I frequently used that I always always misspell... but I couldn't remember it until now. It's mischievous. I keep spelling it mischevious. I even pronounce it kind of like that. And then I get...

    Release Schedule Opinions and Debates

    I used to upload one chapter daily (at 1.5k~2k-ish) for up to what, forty-ish chapters..? But I don't know how I did that then lol I don't think I can do that now xD I'm currently at 2 chapters/week (tho I'm late sometimes o_o) I think you should find out what you can do and upload as...

    Publishing chapters without an outline horrifies me, now.

    It's funny how this works-- I'm almost the same, most of everything that I write (except the smallest details) are part of some kind of outline, except that outline inevitably changes the more I write because nothing actually goes according to plan. Haha. Also, I love outlining things to death...

    How do you write a Smart MC if you're lazy and stupid?

    uhhhh give them hard problems that build up over a couple chapters and then make them solve it in a flash, maybe? the anticlimactic solution and the dumbfounded reactions of everyone else in the story will definitely make them seem smart.

    Writing Should there be difficult situations in slice-of-life stories to make them more relatable to the readers?

    ohh really? Idk haha I've always associated slice of life to being mostly un-dramatic, slower-paced, and focused on smaller (usually daily) stuff, kind of ambling about its plot. don't quote me on this thoughh and going back to this thread's actual question (lol), I feel like it can still have...

    Writing Should there be difficult situations in slice-of-life stories to make them more relatable to the readers?

    Oh, maybe I wasn't being clear enough. I was completely completely agreeing to your point that contemporary should be its own genre, since drama is almost the opposite of slice of life, and if you have to resort to using them together, that doesn't make sense imo haha :sweating_profusely:

    Writing Should there be difficult situations in slice-of-life stories to make them more relatable to the readers?

    wow, I didn't read this thread through while I was posting so i didn't even know what this was about lol this is a lot different from what I was thinking of when I saw the title xD BUT anyhow I agree with everyone here saying (if I'm understanding this correctly ahah) that slice of life =/=...

    Writing Should there be difficult situations in slice-of-life stories to make them more relatable to the readers?

    When I think of slice-of-life, I usually think of a story that has no clear direction but just exploring the daily lives/life of some people/a person. That being said, small and big problems have definitely been extant in the stories I would associate with slice of life as a genre, like...

    Writing Prompt You get isekai'd into an Otome Game world - but how?

    I dream a little too hard and (in this story universe) since the universe is made of star dust with no law or order, I draw it up so realistically that it mistakes my dream for a reality and creates another universe within my dreams which another self of mine transports into. That is the isekai...
