    Read-Baiting Readers

    Is the start of Re: Zero actually generic though? I think it has a pretty original premise and execution. You seem to be implying that anyone who writes a revenge isekai power fantasy novel makes a deliberate choice to sabotage themselves with poorly written prose, worldbuilding. and characters.

    Your writing speed?

    Over the three years I've been writing, I work out my average to be approximately 62000/(3*365) = 55 words per day. On a really good day I can get about 600 words written max.

    Writing How does a moral antagonist (3D) end up as a dark mirror of the protagonist?

    I don't see why we would necessarily treat them any different than a 'non-moral' antagonist. Every villain is just in their own eyes, so I don't see why a more relatable one would deserve it's own special category of villainy. The only difference is that you, as an author, are more likely to...

    AI Protection Act. Discrimination against AI

    This is correct. It is necessary for a product to serve it's purpose as a product. But this I do not agree with, and it doesn't strictly follow from the former. If, hypothetically, the spoon is made by some machine that is powered by the sacrifices of firstborn sons offered unto it every...

    AI Protection Act. Discrimination against AI

    But is this thread closed? Is it really? I've always found this perspective to be ugly. The love of money is the root of all evil, after all. Maybe you need to rethink your opinion on this. I'm sure given a few minutes you could come up with concrete examples of why the method matters.

    Trilogy confusion

    I'm somewhat confused with the idea of a trilogy having different genres from one another entirely. Is there an example of a series where this is the case?

    Hmm. I guess we'd have to ask why a spirit stays in the first place. I'd be thinking that if they're truly benevolent, they'd accept that it's time to move on regardless of whether that's what they want or not. In other words, if they want to stay for an indefinitely long period of time, it...

    Enjoy the situation? Like an evil spirit enjoying terrorising the locals type of enjoy? Spirits are exorcised because they ruin peoples lives, not for the spirit's own benefit.

    How do you rate your own action scenes?

    I'd say writing fight scenes is one of my weaker points. I'd probably say anywhere between a 3 to 7. I know I don't stand on my chair while reading them, but I've seen slogs that are far worse. Honestly, I'd rate this pretty high as a fight scene. It's short, concise and to the point. If...

    That time I got scammed by AI

    Sadly, yes. It's the responsibility of an individual to do proper research. All you needed to do to avoid this was find a second or even third opinion on the topic. That being said, depending on the size of the story you're trying to make, I don't think it's necessarily bad to spend a month or...

    saying you got scammed by an AI is like saying you got scammed by a pack of tarot cards.

    Lets play a little game about paragraphs.

    So I thought I'd take some of the discussion about paragraphing seriously and do a little test on my own work. The excerpt I'm about to present is from the chapter I'm currently working on. I'll present it to you in a few different ways, and I'd like for you to vote on which one you prefer most...

    Do Shout-out Swaps Happen Here?

    That's the neat part! You don't! For a more serious answer, some people put their stories into their signature. So maybe that'd be a good way to do it?
