Someone brought up a good question in my first draft that despite the name, there were no real Power Rangers involved. My fixation on story aspects made me forget about that and left the protagonist as someone who only looks the part. I like the ‘Lackey becomes a Hero’ plot line so I guess I’ll...

Good point. I’ll have to redo this draft since having no traditional power ranger doesn’t suit my vision. I was thinking of a buddy cop thing with the Saintess being a Magical girl and the lackey a power ranger… but your comment made me realise he’d have the looks but no sustenance. That...

Yeah that sounds reasonable. The reason I didn’t like Re:Monster was because the MC was a cannibal before reincarnating and that’s NEVER brought up. He ate people for their abilities and he fake acts like a nice guy despite drugging people to have his goblins procreate. On the other hand...

I initially thought the main draw of reincarnating as a monster was being the monster, but then I started thinking… Rimuru from That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime was much more interesting because the world was interesting. Re:Monster had more faithfully stuck to the gimmick of the MC...

You have suffered…

Have you ever read a novel and wondered if you should drop off… then THAT weirdly specific thing happened and you couldn’t anymore. It’s not like others could understand it, but you really felt like it was a dealbreaker of some sort. What experience was that for you? For me, it was in The...

Okay, for some reason I’m only able to actually think about writing when I’m actually writing something. Wanted to spitball the story I wanted to write. I know my weakness of getting ahead of myself too early so this is me experimenting. Just going to get the idea out and see if it’s consistent...

That’s actually the plan. I’m thinking of having him slowly come to terms with the weight of a life and that some things are truly irreplaceable. The story will be called ‘The Loyalty Which Is Kept [Isekai Fusion Fantasy Epic]’. Referring to his vows to his empire despite his changes. When he...

Just wanted to see what kind of reaction I’d get from sharing a draft of what I’m currently working on. It’s a prequel to a Magical Girl story featuring a responsibility driven protagonist. Set in a typical fantasy kingdom with swords and magic. The protagonist is Legion #E942, a futuristic...

I’m thinking of writing a Magical Girl story but using the other type of tropes from the era where Magical Girls like Cardcaptor Sakura was its own thing. From what I remember, there is a distinct difference between the tropes of that type of anime/manga compared to ‘Magical Girl teams’. I just...

I’m rewriting an old work and decided to colour the background and setting in Xuanhuan power system mechanics… but the only understanding I got of the genre is that it’s Xianxia without the eastern influence. Keeping the “strong oppress the weak” mentality which is usually formed from years of...

Like I said this isn’t an underdog story of that nature. Well… The premise is similar. It just explores the question of “Can you be a hero even if you’re average?”. It’s not like he’s that much weaker than others, but his averageness doesn’t fit that of a ‘Chosen Hero’. Anyway, do you know...

You’d be right about the experimental part. I like it when the narrator is being openly bias in his telling of the story. Sometimes going dramatic and other times skipping details or even discussing them with the audience. My two other novels do that to some extent without compromising its...

Sounds like a Xuanhuan. I forgot how to write them and haven’t been reading them recently. Got any tips? I know how Xianxia scaling usually works… but Xuanhuan is new territory for me.

I have this story called ‘Talentless Hero: The Chosen Hero Is Unqualified’ and wanted to rewrite it into a better story than it currently is right now. What makes it easier to do than the other works I have is because of a simple core premise this story builds upon. Though the title itself may...

Thank you for giving your two cents. I’ll keep that in mind and will make sure that doesn’t happen. I will try to have a clear understanding of what’s a side story and what’s main story content:

I feel like I struck gold while I was writing my novel ‘Formerly A Villainous Academy Noble’ in that I think it’d work better if I changed the narrator to someone else. I need some suggestions on a character that could do that. In the sequel I made the narrator a God who has omniscience and a...

Easy. Talent to apply knowledge is insufficient. Personality problem that stops him from being able to study properly. Maybe just have him reach his limit of what his cheat can do. At least that way he has ways to use it more creatively:

Depends on the story itself. If the stat exist but no one is doing anything spectacular or crazy with it, then it might as well not exist. There are a lot of stories that uselessly show how much Dexterity a guy has when he does nothing with it. I like Levelling Systems that need effort to see...
