Just trying to get words on page to formulate a story because the infinite possibilities dont narrow when I keep them in my head. Easier to figure out overall when I write it down to have something with a beginning, middle, and end. Anyway, time to make my first attempt… Jordan Fisher and...

It’s easy to create a character but I find it hard to create villains. When writing, I put a lot of love into the characters… but equal amount into the lives they choose to live. It feels bad to see a character fall from grace or be used as fodder. Anyone else get that feeling? One of my works...

I can’t even disagree with that take. Then again some fanfics slap.

I like the “I can change things for the better” message but isn’t it too arrogant? I like it in “I killed the academy’s player” somewhat because we see how one guy really ruined the story with his intervention. Since he dies early on we don’t see much of it but we are told about how favourite...

There is a trend I’d like to call a sub-genre of Isekai where you specifically fall into a novel read beforehand. After reading a lot of then I find myself feeling there is always something missing to the format. Hard to figure out exactly what. Normally, remembering this is a novel gives the...

Enlightened Selfishness doesn’t seem ‘Evil’. It’s more just blending in. But I get your point that an Evil Protagonist could save the world because he lives there and not doing so means death. Saving others because it will boost war efforts not friendship.

I started to have this thought because it’s hard for me to understand if an Evil Protagonist should even have that option. A lot of stories give karma to evil deeds and bad karma can’t go unpunished. If they ‘win’ in the end then that just makes the whole story morally questionable. I’ve seen...

That is the most amazing interpretation I’ve read. It kinda makes sense and fits like a glove. Thank you for wisdom.

Thats an interesting take. I’ll keep it in mind. It looks like I am over complicating this by working in a narrow understanding. I’ll definitely check out TBATE’s system since I hadn’t really considered it despite reading the series a while ago.

It’s just a random thought I had but I feel like this is a dilemma every time I’m trying to write a Xianxia story connected to my universe. The hidden rules of the story universe is that no matter what you do, every ‘Ultimate Skill’ can only be five and of a certain strength. Only by adding...

Thank you for getting into the knitty gritty about this. I think you have a point. Maybe a trigger condition for the Regression and knowledge should be separated. That way the limited regressions can have a meaningful impact. A thought occurred to me that maybe if I slowly revealed that the...

I am considering writing a story and found an idea I want to refine. Even though it’s not 100% of the time I tend to figure something out after sharing the idea on blogs like this. I’m thinking of writing a story about a ‘regressor team’. Basically, 5 time loopers that all start off the story...

How would you improve it?

I’m not even going to give a rundown because if you can’t enjoy it blind then it’s no use adding more details. Basic academy story without reincarnation, transmigration, novel extra, regression, or any of that jazz is my only note. I’m really unsure about this… so I’m sharing it first...

True… but it’s easy to come up with a character but harder to figure out how they’ll stick around. I recently found my answer with an Overly Sarcastic Productions video on The Dreaded that randomly came up on my YT feed. Guess I got lucky.

It’s just that reading and doing are two different things. I’m looking at it but I can’t understand what I’m seeing or why I think it’s awesome type of situation. Same with these kinds of villains my brain is like “Awesome!” but I’m unsure how to write a thriller villain. There is a plot but I...

Recently a lot of things have happened that made it hard for me to write. One which is getting my phone broken among other stuff that just could be boiled into ‘A series of unfortunate events’ (lol). Anyway, I finally got over myself. The only good thing is that I found that plan of a story I...

My phone broke and now it feels like my world has ended. Got a new one but things will never be the same. Don’t know whether to write an ero or something serious because last time i did that it didn’t work out well (like both parts were pulling each other and the story apart). Will just write an...

This isn’t just about the tropes around the Power Ranger story model. From what I learned thanks to a YouTuber called Sir_Superhero who did a whole analysis on the Morphin Grid, most Power Rangers are more called into service than predestined by fate. It’s not about the magic (except in Mystic...

Oh, so it’s like an Everyman getting the chance to do good against evil. It reminds me that Power Rangers has quite the black and white morality to justify how badly they beat their foes. Reminds me how Loser Rangers also parodies that in a way. I’ve seen the shows when the lackeys are usually...
