    Draft Feedback: Short Prologue

    Now I’m feeling a bit ashamed and embarrassed. Gotta work on my short fuse. Not even gonna read whatever long, long response was posted.

    Draft Feedback: Short Prologue

    Just because I’m on the internet doesn’t mean I gotta listen to entitled soi boys like a retail worker doing overtime. Screw it. I’m gonna be ‘a bit mean’ this time and see how you react. I didn’t beg YOU or ANYONE for advice. This is the Internet. I don’t need to have manners. I can be an evil...

    Draft Feedback: Short Prologue

    …Do you read responses? Or are you just attention seeking at this point. Don’t start off with sarcasm if you’re gonna react like a neglected teenager the moment someone brushes it off. Learn to respect your fellow users to at least TRY to be friendly. Like I just said: I’m not interested in...

    Draft Feedback: Short Prologue

    I only half understand some points and others just sound like you want to write the story yourself. Why didn’t I write the name of the nemesis? Because he wouldn’t be relevant for the next dozen or so chapters. I get elongating it for the sake of ambience but this is a ‘short prologue’. It is...

    Thank you for commenting on my thread. Had a feeling something was wrong but couldn’t quite see it from my POV.

    Draft Feedback: Short Prologue

    You ask a computer when drawing art? Cliché? Give reasons for feelings? That’s the most unhelpful advice I’ve ever seen. A bunch of vague ‘but it could be making me feel stuff’. I mean seriously ANY of this supposed to be helpful? It is a bunch of non-specific nonsense that doesn’t ’critique’...

    Draft Feedback: Short Prologue

    I’m not gonna go into any detail on the story since I believe the prologue should be able to intrigue even without context of a synopsis. Just want to know if this prologue is interesting enough and doesn’t have fatal flaws I failed to notice. Just a work I’ll be posting on RR. ——————————...

    I Finally Started The Story

    ‘The One Being Protected [Magical Girl Urban Fantasy]’ will be the first story I’ll be posting on RR after a LONG break. My last novels on there were at least 5 years ago. Just wanted to see how you guys would find the idea I cooked up. After deliberating over many things from the last posts. I...

    Writing Traditional Magical Girl Genre

    Yeah I get bored by backtracking in general so I try to write straight progression of events. Right now I’m going with the male exorcist not knowing what a ‘school’ is and him learning the value of a normal life (the thing he is protecting with his heroism). From there I’ll just go with the...

    Writing Traditional Magical Girl Genre

    Thank you that has given me so much inspiration. I was originally going to make the Magical Girl part of an experiment by a guy trying to find successors to ‘Blessings’ his fallen organisation still houses. Mr Mascot (a priest wearing a stuffed bear head) finds her talent and offers her the...

    Writing Traditional Magical Girl Genre

    I’m been trying to find a good base for my story to work off of, but increasingly found that a good number of Magical Girl shows adapted these days are of a darker and gritty variety. Those that are not are kids shows so it’s hard to dissect. If I remember it right: Tokyo Mew Mew (the show I’m...

    Draft: Playing The Genre Straight

    Honestly, I want to give him screen time but not actually make him the ‘main character’. I feel his story hits harder when he’s not focused on too much like you would an MC. Plus I agree with you that it doesn’t matter about breaking a trope unless you feel something about the trope played...

    Draft: Playing The Genre Straight

    I was originally going to go for some subversion of expectations… but then realised that creating a ‘Magical Girl’ story for an older audience will already be difficult. Most examples I can think of are not what I’m looking for or just marketing. I don’t want to write ‘Panty and Stockings’...

    Not sure why ‘The Breeding Goblin Has Reincarnated’, is so popular… probably because this platform has a LOT of smut enjoyers. Will keep updating it until I get bored of it.

    Need Help Crafting A Magical Girl Story

    I originally thought to add that trope but decided to play the Magical Girl aspect straight. Thought it would be more fun if there is still the chance of being recognised by friend or family.

    Need Help Crafting A Magical Girl Story

    Even though I’m a dude, I’m fairly certain that I understand why ‘Magical Girls’ were appealing to girls (rather than guys who can sometimes be unable to escape seeing the girls as the opposite sex). Shoujo had its particular trend. Affected by the romance ideas found in novels aimed at teens...

    My LitRPG Experience (GONE WRONG) (GONE SEXUAL)

    Sometimes, there are gems that use the fact we can never program such an elaborate game that causes so much drama. Since the world is based off of the inherent inconsistency of game design (which values fun or why stuff happen), you can easily write off the world building at times to focus...

    Draft Revision: The Academy’s Ultimate Card Player

    Yes. This is the thing. Focus. I felt like my previous presentation was inadequate to what I really wanted to write, and also felt a bit disingenuous to what audience I wanted. My problem was trying to reach out to wide even though my preferences may be different. I see what you mean by having...

    Grafting Ideas: Interesting Concepts

    Most people use polls to get data, but I use it to see if there are options I can think up. There were a lot of good ideas for the ‘concept’ to a story. Many of them I’d forgotten, but had likely been at the back of my mind for some time. Regardless of the votes, I was happy that I’d managed...

    Draft Revision: The Academy’s Ultimate Card Player

    I had not been able to write my next chapter due to IRL time constraints, but have noticed what I personally perceive as a glaring flaw in my work and wanted to fix it up somehow. The current benchmark I’m setting for myself is as follows. 1. The synopsis should be clear. 2. The story should...
