I just realised now that if they’re protagonists, they probably have more plot armour than him. So maybe ‘protecting’ is counterproductive. I think probably clashing is better. Make them stronger via beating them up.

Do you read Xianxia?

I wanted to write something like that but don’t trust myself to be cruel enough to my characters. I am unused to writing human garbage as most characters I write are misguided or redeemable. The only times that doesn’t happen is when a switch in my brain is flipped and it turns into 100% more...

I’m thinking about it for this new work I’m thinking about. Right now my first draft is turning into a character escaping a story and confronting his author. Then giving him a chance to survive by allowing him to become a ‘character’ himself. Being aware of the tropes, the one threatening the...

It’s a bit different from what I’m doing. There are no predetermined roles in reality, and so the characters are also in a constant state of flux due to their own actions. Fear of death isn’t the greatest motivator for the characters, but a motivation to move away from their past. Their...

I call him ‘Mr Wallkin’. In the story he became self-aware and rejected the author to narrate whatever he wants. Easier to read the prologue than have some nonsense explanation I could give about it. He uses text emojis to emote a lot. I was told it was better to leave them out but I refused...

Oh my god I can’t believe I forgot about him. Thx man that game is a goldmine.

I think you used plot wrong. Narrative on the other hand? Well, it’d have to have some sort of importance. We humans have to take in the entirety of what we see and hear, but characters and the narrator can be selective about it. The story matters more than the events themselves.

That’s… actually a helpful answer. Not sure why I didn’t think of it earlier. It’s so simple but realistic all the same. Not sure that’d work for too long.

In essence: Why would a character want to narrate a story to the audience?

I’m currently writing an elaborate story where the narrator becomes the novel Isekai’d protagonist, similar but different to “Omniscient Reader Viewpoint”, “The Novel’s Extra”, etc. The big difference being that the latter is about ‘people’ who experience a scenario that change their lives...

Why are there so many of these now? I thought this was a writer’s forum, not a free commision hotline.

I can’t help agreeing when you say it like that.

That’s the same as an affair. You’re innocent that’s why. Don’t find out ? Sounds fun Angel? Didn’t think about it.

Hi, writer of “The Incubus Hates ‘Sweet’ Girls”. Just wanted to make a poll on which short story Erotica I should do next. It’s not like I’m lacking ideas. Just thought a Poll would be fun. I’m apparently pretty okay at Dark Romances, though not to the point of writing a novel about it. But...

I copy singularities myself into an infinite mirror. Unable to escape this comment. Also, strong does not mean interesting. This ability seemingly has no drawbacks and just exists in a vacuum for the main character to look cool. Maybe good in a power fantasy, but too OP anywhere else.

i can’t find a reason to answer that.
