I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune Can't get much fluffier than this one, by any measure.

The only times I have trouble reading are when I am really tired and ought to be sleeping instead. If I need to re-read the same paragraph three times before it makes sense, it's obviously past my bed time. So... get more sleep?

Stories that I drop within five chapters are generally ones where I just don't like the the writing. That could be characters that don't have much depth, writing that gets a bit too eccentric or irritating, or plain lack of readability. Or just call it a lack of due appreciation for the...

It's easiest to write about characters who are just like you, but it's better to write about characters who are their own person, as you say. So, the goal is to write dialogue that suits different characters who fit in your story, and are not all like you. Yes, the author generally writes...

Chased a rabbit down a hole into another world (Alice in Wonderland) Passed out while staring up at Mars in the night sky, and woke up there (John Carter of Mars) Carried away from Kansas by a tornado and landed in Oz (The Wizard of Oz) These are sort of isekai, aren't they? Albeit without the...

I can answer that question very specifically: JS Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 I still clearly remember the first time I heard it on the car radio, as an orchestral arrangement. I had to it in the car after parking to wait for the credits. I was so surprised. Youtube has a few...

No. I thought I had, but then I fell in love for real. Yeah, that first-sight thing is more sex than romance, even if it hits you in the feels. Hormones have feelings too, you know? But not gonna lie, it ain't gonna last. On the other hand, we fell in love on the internet, which means that...

I imagine a girl and her beau. I mean bow. The archer's grip on a bow is a lot more intimate than a sword grip - more of a full-body experience. You have to work with a bow: set, draw, aim, hold, release. And then once more. Arrows are... a metaphor? Yeah. Maybe there could be inspiration...

I generally assume the author ws not happy with where the story was going, and it's probably better for both of us to move on. Sometimes it's as simple as the story reaching a natural end, despite the author's attempts to drag it out. Better if they had wrapped it up with a real conclusion to...

Maybe just write a character that seems like a real person, and an interesting person, but not like yourself, or the characters will all be the same. And have no flaws (you have no flaws, right?). It should still work for holding the reader's attention while developing the story. I think...

It seems that you have passed the total word count of Ernest Hemingway. I Googled ernest hemingway corpus words "The Hemingway corpus consists of 69 novels and short stories with a word count of 567,596." On the other hand, he could build a world and tell a story in 762 words. Beats me by...

Pretty sure I have read a story or two with similar setting. That time I Reincanated as a Virus Maybe not that one; not on Webnovel. Multiply, infect, evolve into Cordyceps fungus, make zombies, conquer world?

As a reader, I might not care about the ordinary clothing of an ordinary character. > Armor of a royal knight? Okay, impress me with the shiny! > Princess wearing princess gown to princess ball? Okay, be fabulous! > Goth character's tee-shirt is black? Builds the character, and seems easy to...

You might as well say that "adventure stories" are a stale genre. There is a theory of literature that all good adventure stories are essentially the same – "the hero with a thousand faces". It is all about taking some ordinary person to a fantasy land where they hero up, before (usually)...

Article:: Professional romance novelists can write 3,000 words a day. "H.M. Ward, a self-published romance author who’s sold 13 million books, says she writes two hours a day, averaging about 2,500 words an hour. " "Katherine Garbera... aims to finish writing and editing a chapter a day, around...

I can imagine that you wouldn't want to read anything that isn't at least as good you can write. It might be distracting if you can't help but see the flaws that you wish could be fixed.

I loved the LOTR books, and the picture they painted of another strange and beautiful world. World building is essential to a good fantasy science fiction / adventure novel, but it must be done properly. Build the relevant scene. Scatter it in the clever dialogue. Tuck it into an interesting...

As a general rule, translators work FROM documents in a language that they have learned, and translate them INTO their native language. Translation the other direction is generally suboptimal, and results may be no better than machine translation. It is just unfortunate that so few...

Subvert it. Protagonist growd waaayy too strong to betray, and the friend decides it's easier to just clean the skeletons out of the closet and live a clean life (rather than a short one). :unsure:
