Have you ever cultivated a relationship with you close friends, or cultivated a skill like the ability to write well? Those are actual terms used in the English lexicon to describe any form of high-effort project to gain something intangible. This language also exists in Chinese, and is the...

I'm not in the 1m club, but I am in all the other "over" categories, so I'm at least in the top 900 on the site. (Actually, this makes me wonder how many people have over 10K favorites. I've got more than that in my first series I posted to the site, and am getting close in the reboot of that...

Ok, what are those? Because, going by the titles, those sound like they'd actually be answers to what I was looking for when I started this thread.

Ok, you still don't get it. I think you should just watch/read one of these "Kicked from the hero's party" plot stories before you respond in this thread again.

I'm saying your suggestion indicates you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, because it makes literally zero sense and sounds like you're talking about something completely different from what's going on here. It was completely non-applicable to the scenario.

Err... I don't think you understood the plot. The MC didn't do anything wrong in these plots. He was unjustly kicked from the hero's party by an ass-hole party leader who doesn't see what he was contributing or that he was secretly the most valuable part of the party, and the rest of the story...

I do not disagree with that. The problem is that it's been repeated in that exact format WAY too many times. It's not a good enough plot to survive that much repetition. (I think the Hero's Journey may be the one and only plot good enough to survive that kind of repetition add nauseum.) You'll...

Holy crap!!! Y'all are not gonna believe this, but I actually found it!!! https://www.mangaread.org/manga/i-was-dismissed-from-the-heros-party-because-they-dont-need-my-training-skills-so-i-strengthened-my-fief-which-i-got-as-a-replacement-for-my-retirement-money/ He gets politely dismissed...

It's not a music mash-up, but... Sci-fi cultivation worlds. That shouldn't work, but somehow it does, incredibly well. I've only seen it once, a story called "Super Gene," but after seeing what worked with that series and WHY it worked, I think it's entirely replicateable, and quite easily so...

Oh God! I've been the former and I've seen the latter. In the latter case, it was hilarious just how outrageously bad that writer was. The REALLY funny thing was that this atrocious writer's friend later took over and re-wrote the story, correcting everything that was complained about, having...

Well, I gotta point out, even Worm, the story famous throughout the internet for just how much shit it piles onto it's characters, had moments of respite at the end of each arc. Moments where the characters gather themselves and re-assess. And, usually, they are really only dealing with one...

While all of those may have been grammatically correct on a technical level, I think this one is probably the only one in the lot that doesn't just look flat out wrong. (That one with all those commas looked especially bad.)

Errr... in regards to everything but the top line, no. OCD is also not something that's temporary. It is every single bit as permanent as Asperger's Syndrome, and the only real difference is that it's one people are more likely to play around miss-diagnosing themselves with. However, I have...

I think a lot of people here who claim to have OCD might actually have the condition formerly known as Aspergers Syndrome. One of the frequent recurring symptoms is obsession over some informational subject for which you learn everything you can, and then subsequently becoming rather pedantic...

As everyone is saying, this is grammatically correct, but if I was helping edit your writing then I'd probably recommend it be changed or re-phrased to include some punctuation anyway just to make it look a little less weird. Worth mention, most punctuation you could add would cause it to...

It's also worth noting that the "hero's journey" plot structure does not actually require that anyone in the cast have the title "hero" or that even the word "hero" gets used in the entire narrative. It's just the following of a specific set of story beats, which as mentioned here have more to...

Ok, I think there's a confusion of terms here. What you're complaining about here is called Exposition. This is a lazy way to tell people your world building. Actual competent writers won't do exposition dumps like this. They will show you their world building just by having the characters live...

Well, definitely gotta agree, Isekai is the popular genre now and that means it will attract a lot of people who really don't know what they're doing or people lazily trying to make a quick buck off it. Anyway, it is also true that the concept of going to another world is actually a trope as...

I'd say, for Isekai, rather than trying to "do something that hasn't been done before," you first need to study and REALLY understand what made the best examples in the genre actually successful. It turns out, all the ones that did REALLY freaking good are NOT the ones that tried to come up with...

Well, in regards to the overall trend of writing in general, I'd have to say that the "highs," referring to the absolute best in writing, is getting better ever since the internet and webnovels became a thing. People are just learning from all previous works and using it as a basis to improve...
