    Is this stupid? It feels stupid.

    It does sound silly. If the room's meant to have his attention be immediately drawn into it's centerpiece, it should do so. I'd probably consider writing it something like this: "Person's eyes was immediately drawn into the center of the room/shrine, in which... [object exists]. He did not...

    How long before isekaization?

    If the pre-isekai part of the story is explaining how your MC is overworked in a company and gets run over by a truck because he's tired, I'd say skip. It adds nothing to the story so it's not needed. If you choose to write a pre-isekai, it would need to be relevent to the story. What that...

    Combat heels is the hill I will die on

    This argument is the equivalent of saying twigs makes excellent weapons for eastern martial artists because their skill with the blade is just that good that they can afford to fight off countless foes with a subpar weapon. Sure, you could use high heels as a weapon if you have nothing else...

    She/Her/It

    My first thoughts would be: - The narrator refers to it as "it". -The sailors/pirates refer to it in speech as "She". -Anyone else can take their pick, dependant on their personalities. So you'd only have to look at dialogue when editing, maybe? But then, if the narrator of the story is...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    I would would make an exception to this rule for the more extravagant cases, like OPM or the instant death isekai. If it was the plot that requires the character to be OP, that would imply the author makes up the plot first, then after analysing the plot, realises the only way this is doable is...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    That sounds like plot armour to me. But if an MC is OP, they don't survive because "the plot needs them to". They survive because it's in their established character that they have the ability to survive, (or character that's trying to be established, in the case of first introductions to the...

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    OP MCs are not examples of plot armour, guys. :blob_facepalm: That's something entirely different. And to answer the original question, I think if something's obvious enough that you would consider it plot armour, it's probably bad. It if was good, you'd be too enthralled in the plot to notice.

    An Author Dilemma Questions

    I only have one story up on scribblehub, but it's actually the second story I started to write. My first story is one chapter long and remains unpublished. The reason? I didn't want to write it without any proper writing experience, so I decided to write something else to gain some experience...

    what is good prose?

    My immediate thought is to consider the average paragraph length, the clarity of each sentence, and the amount of information you're managing to convey in a given reading time. After that? maybe whether or not the tone matches the genre of the story.

    Childhood Crush?

    It's a bit cliche for a webnovel idea, but I'm sure you you can write it well if you try.

    Debate: Argue What's The Best Conflict For Romance

    When you make the type of conflict the focus, the story might become that of a drama. As a SoL comedy enjoyer, my favorite type of 'conflict' comes from the overexaggeration of character types, mixed with day-to-day trivial issues that suddenly erupt into a minefield of enigma when our two...

    How many readers are actually diving in the forums?

    I don't find myself browsing scribblehub's books regularly, so I'll classify myself as author only.

    Very Big Problem with op my mc :(

    Fine. He stands on a specially-made concrete pad that's thick enough to fire a rocket from. He then aims at the nearest meteor on a collision course with earth and fires away, hitting two birds with one stone by saving the earth and relieving himself at the same time.

    Very Big Problem with op my mc :(

    What if his body just doesn't produce waste material anymore? Maybe he can use all nutrients he absorbs without waste, solving the problem before it even begins.
