My preference is around 4-5k. I don't mind longer either, but argument can be made about lacking structure/pacing with really long chapters. About 1,5k words is the minimum I will read. As for those who consider bellow 1k words chapters as optimal - how? I honestly don't understand that. You...

I have no issue with fancy first chapters - as long as they work well the introduce the story and characters. In fact, it helps with immersion when there is some meat in the chapter, not just the bare bones of descriptions. There can be too fancy, too grandiose, overly ambitous and not...

Just how is this thread still going?

Wait, there are people who don't?

I would not say it's ruined, per se. Changed, for sure. Expanded, maybe. You could perhaps even argue it was highjacked. But not ruined. Even original GB tended to include gender identity in some form, even if nobody would call it trans then. Gender-bent characters would express their denial...

Generally I agree with you, though as always there are exceptions. I remember seeing seeing a relatively unique concept, in which the LitRPG was not the System governing the world, but merely interpretting/translating people's abilities, health etc. into a game-like interface through some sort...

Technically, that big paycheck is a form of acknowledgement :blob_cookie:

Comedic relief.

Are mods allowed? If so, Elder Scrolls/Skyrim is tempting, for... reasons.

If you're not planning to continue the story, or don't expect to update it regularly, please, make it clear on the novel's page, so readers like me don't get burned by yet another story that died before it even really began.

Obligatory Sword Art Online Ostensibly Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended (MC stuck in a game world) Deck of Souls (MC trapped in a game which is actually real) Trouble With Horns (GB+GL)

I usually take that as the end-goal, rather than what the MC is from the start. That said, my expectations for novels with that kind of pretentious wuxia/xianxia titles are fairly low from the start.

It really depends on the story and its focus, but in general, I'm OK with them getting together at the end of the story. What I don't like, is when the characters get their "happily ever after" in one book/movie etc, only for the author to then pull out another, where there are suddenly...

1. Eh. Some people like me, some don't (fuck them too). 2. To an extent. If I have to interact with someone, I generally try to be at least polite... but I don't go out of my way to make people like me. 3. Obviously yes, and the short answer is connections. The more people like you, there more...

From what I read about him here, he reminds me a lot of certain Norman Boutin. Still not nearly as unhinged, but roughly in the same category.

Princess Mononoke. Also because of nostalgia, since it was probably the first anime I have seen (besides Pokemon), and I have seen it dubbed in my native language.

You can quite often see this clearly, in stories that start strong, but soon get distracted by any random idea, often changing the overall tone or even the direction of the story on a whim.
