That's pretty much me, more or less, though I might use other words to describe it. Me, I'd say I rarely give 5 stars or 1 star unless I think the story really deserves it. 5 = It is professional quality, what is this doing on a webnovel site? And why doesn't this have an animated adaptation...

The big thing to know is that you should never overwhelm your readers with too much information. The more complex your magic system, the more you have to drip-feed the readers. I think Ascendance of a Bookworm is likely the master-class in seeing this applied. I wouldn't say the magic in that...

I am a denizen of the web, therefore there is only one correct choice. The web reaches all corners of the world, it is sheer hubris that you would deny it.

I have seen lots of advice from several sources on how to write. After now having about five years at the craft myself, here are the ones that struck me as the most important, and I am going to rank-order them in the order of how important they actually are, most important at the top and the...

Personally, I find dialogue easier, and individual combat encounters in my series are always over with very quickly. A clash is usually over within a paragraph or two, and if the fight continues past that clash then it involves one of the combatants taking distance and fleeing in some form or...

Just found a good video to share. I'll just leave this here for you.

Actually, I've been churning out about a chapter every couple days, and am also in the middle of a mass editing project of my entire series. It's just that getting super into my own work somehow makes me start very actively thinking about story tropes in an almost manic manner. Which admittedly...

Why do I have to keep re-explaining this? Are people actually reading the premise at all? Yes, I KNOW THE CONCEPT OF ISEKAI PRE-DATES JRPGS BY A LOT!!! I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about the plot of specifically "summoned from another world for the express purpose of defeating a...

Doesn't matter, I'm talking about the origin, not the motivation. Of course it's entirely possible it can happen subconsciously due to how thickly it permeates the genre these days, as such someone who's been exposed to that soup may very well wind up subconsciously mimicking others who are...

The TL; DR (literal here it seems) is that the "Heroes summoned from another world to defeat the demon king" plot that appears in about half of all Isekai came from the first game in the Final Fantasy franchise. FF1, if you will, even though it doesn't have a "1" in it's name. The full...

You all know it. The classic plot of the hero summoned from another world to defeat the demon king. At least half of all Isekai are based around this basic core plot, with various permutations on it. Various different ways they try to just off-set it a little bit from that basic core so it...

Ok, yeah, that's actually it. That's spot on exactly what I remember.

Well, I'm sort of writing a bronze-age fantasy from a western perspective on spiritualism and Cultivation as the power system (Pretty much merging east, west, and Mesopotamian (which is basically center)) in terms of lore. But, yeah. Since Cultivation is the power system, it means the gap...

I do feel a little like it's not quite the same as what I remember though. It could just be my memory is off of course. I heard this when I was pretty young. But, knowing the tune is based off of an old Irish folk song now, it's also entirely possible Centerfold wasn't the only song to run with...

Yep! That was it exactly! Thank you.

Well, I just edited it into the last post. The song I'm looking for literally contained whistling, and the performers were whistling the tune of Rattlin' bog. So, yeah, if it doesn't contain whistling, it's definitely not what I'm looking for. There was also clapping mixed in with the...

Wow, not even close. Nothing in that even sounds like Rattlin' bog at all. Giving you the benefit of the doubt here, did you maybe just remember wrong? (The version without the benefit of the doubt would be that you just threw a random name out there like an AI bot.) PS: The only reason I'm...

My niece and nephew have been really into a traditional Irish song called The Rattlin' Bog, mostly because The Wiggles did a version of it. But, after hearing it over and over again for a while, I coincidentally wound up whistling the tune once and came to a startling realization. I remembered...

Indeed. If a person really wants us to read their work, they can't go expecting us to do the work of linking their forum account to their main-site account and looking through their stories library and guessing which one is theirs. Either gotta provide a link in the post or put a link in your...

If you want to look to the most famous time-loop story in all of webnovels for an example (Mother of Learning), that series had a 1 month time-loop, and the total accumulated waking time (I.E. not counting the loops where they were in a soul-damage induced coma that carried over from one loop to...
