Thanks, that's excellent!

Well then, there we go. Also, thank you.

It's not so much a bug as it is a faulty feature, but it seems there's some kind of auto-complete in the BB code in cases where you post partial BB code. This is a problem, because one of the most common uses of partial BB code I'm aware of is if you're trying to show the code to someone, which...

Well, I just made about a dozen failed attempts to show the code. Every single time, it renders the code no matter what preventative measures I try to take by including intentionally incorrect sections into it. I know there's supposed to be a line you can add to prevent BB code from rendering...

See my second question. I was aware of and afraid of that being the case. Problem is, I'm not exactly sure HOW to edit it in that way. Any tips? Also, thank you very much for answering the first question.

I have just released my 3rd major series, 2nd which I think has promise to go long-term (new hero god kinda fizzled due to poor planning), and am trying to get the cover art linked in my signature. I opened the BB code and copy-pasted the exact formatting I used on the 1st cover art for Key to...

Yeah, that scenario doesn't quite work out with how ICBMs work these days. They achieve flight speeds of mach 10, which means by the time the missile enters your state/provicial boarders, it will take about a second for it to hit the target. EDIT: I mean, maybe you could manage it if you also...

What makes a good synopsis is more or less the same thing that makes a good 1st chapter. You have to start with a hook, and leave the reader with a question. Now, leaving a reader with a question is something very different from asking a question in the synopsis. It needs to make the reader ask...

The way it works in my story world is that the power system is based on the intensity of a person's soul, and earth has some special properties that nurture a person's soul passively. As such, anyone who gets isekaied to my world will start off at the bottom of the mid-tier for power scales...

Answer, plot better. If your character is misbehaving that severely, it means your outline was insufficient. Scrap the past several chapters up until the point you identify things started going off the rails and start over with a better outline for the story and keep things in line. In my...

Why would writers even bother fighting with readers? That's not how it works. Writers would use their readers as puppets and sic them on someone else's reader base, and the readers would gladly follow the writer's directions.

You've not been paying attention to a lot of K5's comments throughout the entire forums, have you?

I would say the biggest problem about liteRPG systems is that, when poorly handled (which is 90% of the time), it speeds up power creep, sometimes to a rather extreme degree. Systems work best when you don't have your characters stray too incredibly far from whatever number is established as...

Thanks everyone, just got out about 1200 words and got to the end of a big scene. Now I just need a little more to finish the chapter.

Yeah, I'm being a slouch right now. ADHD effects kicking in, and I'm just finding myself unable to put down my mobile games and just get behind the computer and write. So, I thought I'd just share that and ask people to give me the "advice" I need to get myself back on track. Namely, I came...

That's the thing, profound cultivation themes are usually not a part of the Western originals. Rather, it tends to treat cultivation as just another power system in a similar vein to the LiteRPG power system, only instead of getting your "levels" by killing monsters you get them with some...

Well, I can recommend my own series since it technically fits. I mean, she does start as a baby, but most of the "training" is just to get her muscles and balance usable and most of the skills she has are carried over from her previous life rather than gained from the early training. Although...

I was searching around the internet for a translation of volume 14 of Overlord back when it first came out. I wound up getting a fan-fic that called itself volume 14 and only realized part way into it that it was a fan fic. I'd been conscious of fan fiction before I came across this one, but I...

The ones who try to use Chinese naming and theming are bad. The ones that just use cultivation as a power-system and make up their own world and rules for the cultivation system actually tend to be pretty awesome.

Even when I start up a new story, I try to stay within the same world setting as much as possible, often expanding the universe rather than just starting up something completely new. Right now, I'm trying to set up a set of 2 parallel stories that are taking place in the same world and at the...
