This all seems so strange to me. Longer chapters are more satisfying to read in my opinion? Small chapters have built-in breaks, pauses, even if it's just to move to the next page, so you don't get in as deep and it's just- unsatisfying. To those of us who are slave to the reading trance. Plus...

I like one. The magenta on 2 contrasts too much, and doesn't serve a function. 3 is nice, but a bit generic and busy. Still, it does have a charm to it, and depending on the tone, or maybe, atmosphere/setting? of your story, might fit better, but without knowing that I prefer 1. It's unique and...

Oops, just realized the setting I had it on, you couldn't see any of the suggestions, oops XD. Fixed.

Ok I'm putting together a google doc of how I personally would restructure the writing to be more effective while keeping the core of it the same, as well as my reasoning. It's not done yet but here's the link. My advice is basically, you have to pay attention to the way you structure your...

Get someone else (IRL) to hold you accountable to a deadline.

But also not what the poster was asking for.

Systems are fun. It is not useful to tell the poster who wanted advice on how to build a system, because they decided they wanted to build a system for their story for fun, to just not.

If you have a lame leg, a crutch is damn useful. And if you want to, messing around with some crutches can be fun. That's all that really matters. Not that I submit! If the basis of your story is to explore the implications or a certain facet of systems, or certain permutation, because the idea...

I already have. Saintess Summons Skeletons would be basically impossible to function in the way that it does without a system. Using keywords taken from the skills of two classes, chopped up, to make new skills based off the mashed-together name, really doesn't work without a system. The...

Disinfectants don't say they kill 100%. They say 99.9% or whatever specific decimal, and that data has actually been collected, not pulled out of an ass. Just because you have not read a system story could not have had the system easily replaced doesn't mean they don't exist, it just means your...

?‍♀️ You said it yourself. 90% of the time. Not, all the time. It depends on the author and what they're trying to achieve, and how they use it. There is difference between laziness and efficiency. A good story contains everything it needs to and nothing more. A system is a means to achieve...

I don't agree with you, a system can serve several purposes. They can serve as a framework to allow the acquisition of new powers as a reward for the type of behavior that is interesting to read about, but wouldn't necessarily give new abilities. Think about it, how much must be going on, on a...

Myeh, while I would say wizards are cooky and old fashioned, I will not stand for this blatant insult to magic as a whole! Mages, people. For when you need the ingenuity of an artificer, without the crazy, or the explosive power of a sorcerer, with a brain.

Boo!

I understand, but there are a few points I'd like to make. Firstly, fantasy is often seen as set in a certain time period, around Medieval to Renaissance times, but often also features races that can live to be very old, and very old worlds. Regression can then be an explanation to reconcile...

But they're kobolds. The scaly ones have more interesting lore as servants of dragons, but don't work with every world's conception of dragons, and in that case them being furry makes more sense.
