    Draft Idea 5: How Do ‘Cards’ Work?

    You need to understand where you’re lost at for me to know where to fill you in on. There are Draft Idea post with lower numbers if you try looking through my recent posts. Should give a reference. I can’t explain if you don’t know WHAT you want to know. Yeah, that sounds similar enough. Never...

    Draft Idea 5: How Do ‘Cards’ Work?

    The important context is above and the ‘specifics’ I’m referring to are below. I will simply be explaining the base concept rather than the knitty-gritty of the system. What inspiration I took and how I’m trying to imagine the applications. Though this may have OP bugs or inconsistencies so...

    Overengineering and power systems.

    D Depends on whose POV you’re looking at. The character experiencing the system just thinks life’s laws of physics are weird. They do not grasp the intentions of the creator and do as they see fit with it. Discard what they deem useless and focus on the practical/easy steps. There is no...

    Magic System Ideas

    Why not go for there being a link between the physical body and the astral body that uses Mana? That way you can combine the ‘Mental’ aspect with Mana initially, then expand into it when this particular part of the system becomes very necessary to learn. You can have things like having a strong...

    Overengineering and power systems.

    It sounds very doable. Overengineering lead to a magic system that does not know the ‘simple process’. They are forced to overextend in order to make basic things happen. What makes it different from reinforcement/enhancement? It should be that you are adding stuff to make a finished product...

    Draft idea 3: Not following the protagonist

    Usually leave very close to home inspiration material aside because my own work gets too affected by what I’m reading. Will try it AFTER completing the work and not worrying about getting too influenced as a writer.

    I think Dio’s new alias should just be Dogkicker

    Dog Welder is offended. Dio will now have a dog welded to his face.

    Female Characters

    Portrayal matters. Knowledge can give you context but just remember not to say everything you know about the topic. That’s my main point to be clear. It’s hard to explain.

    Female Characters

    You need advice from woman if you’re going in-depth about their lives as being female specifically. If you’re writing a character that just so happens to be female, then write them like any other character. Even if they’re pregnant or menstruating, it’s like how you do not do in-depth into...

    Draft idea 3: Not following the protagonist

    So you’re saying inherent negative properties can be infused into the positives. Instead of a clear divide between ‘good cards’ and ‘bad cards’. Is what I got. That… actually makes more sense. It’d probably be to obvious if someone was given a negative card with no benefits, and with the...

    Draft idea 3: Not following the protagonist

    With the magic system sorted and it being generally agreed that there was no inconsistency that could pose a big problem. Now I move onto Draft Idea 3, which will be how the main character will interact with the ‘main scenario’. Something that inspired me recently was “Conquering the Academy...

    This is my first time writing a cultivation novel so I wanted some quick feedback.

    I forgot for a while that I was writing a ‘story’ that will be digested by readers. Not saying you’re THAT bad, but simplicity can go a long way in immersion. Start small and use your notes to build on a stable establishment, then enrich them with plans. That’s the way to normally avoid...

    Recommendations MC with puppeteer ability and had at least used it on himself once.

    I currently think of the “I Contracted Myself” Manhwa where the MC uses the absolute obedience skill (which can only be used on others after explanation and consent) was used on himself. He then acts more true to his nature but does not forget to use the benefit of having ‘Self Mastery’ via...

    Strongest power ideas for future OP MCs

    I’m guessing ‘not taking my pills’ is also an option. Screw everything. I’m not waking up from the fever dream.

    Draft idea 3: Following my own ‘main scenerio’

    With the magic system sorted and it being generally agreed that there was no inconsistency that could pose a big problem. Now I move onto Draft Idea 3, which will be how the main character will interact with the ‘main scenario’. Something that inspired me recently was “Conquering the Academy...

    Draft idea 2: Weird player of the card academy.

    “This is an extension of Draft Idea 1. The premise is that the MC has awakened with Card Abilities at birth in a family that doesn’t see this as being strange. At an early age, the ‘Final Boss’ analyses his ability and improved the original power system he’d introduce at the Academy.” An...
