Romance itself is just a giant genre with tons of content-subgenre which actually define what happens. It's a bit like saying "all action movies". The main genre itself are often defined through the main value that is changing throughout the story. For romance that would be the relationship...

The "voice" of a character is about how your character is displayed on the pages. Both through dialog and thoughts, but also through specific vocabulary or description. As a simple example: when you write the POV of a soldier entering a room you should use different focus and vocabulary...

One of the benefits of reading a lot is to have a better grasp of your own writing. I knew from day one that my writing sucked. So I never was delusional enough to be arrogant... :D

Those sites also have a different target audiences, geared towards "self-improvement" instead of "fanbase building". The concept of these sites is based on "I play editor for you, you play editor for me". SH, webnovel, and Co are for (free) publishing, fanbase building, and advertisement. The...

Hello Darkness... ------------------------------- "The hero is here? Guess I'll just relocate. Maybe this time a nice small hut at the sea instead of this uncomfortable and cold stone castle in the middle of a fucking poisonous swamp. 'Great location, nice and trending neighborhood, rising...

Then write a fanfic that accomplishes that. But that has nothing to do with the original point of discussion or the anime in question. The setting in Youjo Senki is how it is because that was needed for the story the author wanted to tell. If you want to tell a different story, then use a...

But that is the point. YOU are the author. YOU decide, what happens and how to display it. The author of Youjo Senki wanted a certain theme and tone to his story, so he didn't begin it with "she is chosen by god". Exactly that is my point. If you don't want your story to feel light-hearted and...

You can change them just as much in first person (some things even easier). What are the inner thoughts? What is the focus of the MC? What words is he using? What actions is he taking or considering? And yeah, if you use a funny truck-kun trope then the entire chapter will feel more...

Tone, setting, story structure, POV, imagery, ... The way you start your first chapter can also define expectations. You don't have to foreshadow every event, but you have to set the "type" and "theme" of your story.

Also I took a look at your story and the tags say "girls love", "harem" and "slice of life". Those are tags that normally have nothing to do with life-ending drama, so the reader expectation will be that they can grow fond of characters without the fear of death. So here is the question: did...

If readers don't like something, they'll give bad ratings. That's all there is to it... The best story theory can fail due to execution...

That's not anime. That's genderbender + girls love

The definition would be "Game World with an RPG System". So depending on the way you write, there isn't a need to add all those tables, stats, numbers, and that stuff. Even no visible system at all would still qualify for the usual definition. That said, many readers will expect clear systems...

Time for the usual: Danshi Koukousei de Urekko Light Novel Sakka wo Shiteiru keredo, Toshishita no Classmate de Seiyuu no Onnanoko ni Kubi wo Shimerareteiru. That said, the "overly long names" are just part of the industry, but they are highlighted for fun. There are just as many series with...

I accept that I am not that good right now and go on with my life... Writing is a skill. Like any other thing. I started with two different sports and was really shit at it. Ended up competing in the nationals. I started running in which I was always bad and ended up completing a marathon. I...

My honest opinion: Read the contract. Like "read it". Not just look at the nice numbers. READ. THE. CONTRACT. 95% of bad stuff is in the contract in plain words. People just don't read them beause they are excited. You could write "I get your wife, your car, and your house" and people would...

Ah, didn't know that...

I wouldn't say this is advertisement for their site though. Given that he has more published chapters under their VIP-system, it's problem a question of getting some attention to his story and over there, so that he can get actual benefits. I would even believe him (if so, sorry for spamming...

For some reason, my first thought to "grab an actual book" was all the YA craziness after Twilight and Hunger Games. Let alone bookshelves, there were entire sections full of badly written wish fulfillment love triangles. If you don't want to read OP wish fulfillment, don't read it. Read some...
