I can attest to this. Islamic dudes would be very proud to tell their friends they killed a pedo, and those friends would high-five him as if he had done the most appropriate action. There would be no ‘murder’ in their minds. Only cleansing filth from the world so they can live more safely...

Translated works are often due to a different eastern site that loves the same kind of mindset as Qidian.

Well… Succubi are usually known for ‘draining victims’ (vague), sex (straightforward), control abilities (vague) and charm (vague). I think they’d be fine having a bunch of mind-controlled goblins that are also vitality food, but I guess that depend on the ability specifics… right? Though I...

I almost clicked Smut.

Sounds like ‘Against the Gods’. She says no the entire time but he wants to take responsibility for her child afterwards (when her life got ruined because of his ‘saving’). Note: She was saying she would rather die than go through with his saving method beforehand. I call him gay since he...

I have this bad memory where I can only remember something after it’s written down. For me, this is both creating an idea on the fly while trying to make the story decent and cohesive. It is gonna be one of those dark/fantasy/ero novels so if that’s not your thing then stop here because things...

There are sexier smut in the world. The point is that, like you accurately pointed out, it goes against everything they stand for. Even murder hobos at least live in their power fantasy. This “it is the only way” nonsense is just un-sexy. grape is never incentivised because people have to make...

Or the almighty right hand. lol

Your name is Mr Mascot. You have the head of a stuffed bear and you’re a chain-smoking Magical Girl maker that does not want to watch the world burn. Your ability brings out the fluffy and warm desires in people to weaponise them as transformation trinkets for Magical Girls to use. One...

The only ‘study’ I do is watch YouTube tutorials about tropes and nothing else.

I am unsure on how to write Xianxia because imagining the world beyond the superficial aspects is difficult for me. Especially with what goes on in the world when the MC doesn’t exist. I see that it is a chaotic world from most Xianxia novels I’ve read, but I find it difficult to imagine that a...

Have things that are happening actually matter somehow. 1. Reveal an aspect of themselves. 2. Show their stubbornness and beliefs. 3. How they react to the same stimuli. 4. The events that are unfolding. The list sounds like a mess but the real reason I even added them is to show how...

I originally wanted to just rant about how Nano Machine, the Murim Manhwa about a martial artist with a cheat-like futuristic enhancement using tech, and how it wasted my time. The first arc about becoming the Heavenly Demon or whatever was good, then spiralled from there. And the thing that...

People misunderstand what ‘stakes’ mean. You don’t have to dangle a vehicle off a cliff. What you need is the audience to care if the people inside make it out alive. What would be at stake if an action scene was favourable or tragic. If there is nothing that would be lost or rewarded either...

Left a good review. There are few first chapters that make you intrigued enough to read more, and this is one of them. Loved the experience you gave

I did a quick skim of the draft and didn’t see anything bad until I read “Hajime was thankful”. I believe a good way to improve is to cut yourself away from the protagonist a little to present him as a survivor with deeper thoughts. Maybe show an action of thankfulness than saying that he was...

Sure, why not? I don’t see any list of recommendations before your comment so I’m definitely free enough to take a look.

It gotta be a ‘game’ if it wants immersion. There was a time people were just making movies within games, but they didn’t have the balls to make it like the Uncharted series. You don’t even need that much graphic wise to make a game. People still play snake and Tetris to this day. Story is...

Looking for works that fall under the ‘Possessed a character in a Magic Academy’ Trope. It has to be a non-translated work/original work here on SH. Has to at least have one chapter (no “Wait until I post” waiting game). Depending on how I subjectively feel about it I’ll either write a comment...
