I second this. Watersports is.... much less squick than scat is.

the "standard", or what you could call "classic" isekai, in it's original simple form is probably long over. As you pointed out, the meta of isekai stories has moved on yet again (and will probably shift yet again in a year or two). I do think that it still exists, in a form, in the isekai meta...

i prefer 90-95% humorous/5-10% serious. bonus liking if the protag is a commonsense breaker (like Sophia from Boosted Restart - A New Chance In A Different World).

predates Lovecraft actually. the origin is actually a book of short stories written by Robert W Chambers, published in 1895. Lovecraft read, loved and was greatly inspired by the book and it's titular in-story play 'The King in Yellow' and incorporated bits and pieces (including the...

well, it depends on a ton of factors. Maybe the ruler of the small kingdom hears about the MC's strength and decides to take the pragmatic approach because the pudding prince wasnt really important. That's if the ruler is smart. If the ruler is fatuous or as dumb as bricks, he may decide to...

well, i suppose it depends on what your novel will be about and feature. If it's slice-of-life and any other genre where the focus isnt on "big picture" stuff like politics, foreign relations etc then i dont think you really need to worry about it. If it is something that will have, or touch...

if you were to release it on the day, it would be quite crude and insensitive. anything beyond 3 days after should be okay (1 week to be safe). It's not uncommon for things that accidentally touch on events to be delayed. i know of one anime that was actually delayed 2 years due to the 2011...

Shotguns never have been nor are war crimes. that was just the germans being annoyed that they were so effective. flamethrowers, chemical and biological weapons were actually illegal at the time but everybody decided to look the other way for the period of the war...

all true. After all, there's a reason why Webnovel contracts are also referred to as slave contracts.

BAHNBLADE!!!

i think it just comes down to the story, it's content and the makeup of the readership. Some of the novels i read, i comment quite regularly and the novels easily get tons of comments. some i read, i comment when something interesting comes up (like a plot twist) and some i dont really find the...

all of the above answers at the same time. the precise differences depend on the exact context, setting and etc.

some of the novels i read, half the comments on a chapter can occasionally be blobs because sometimes it's easier to express through blobs than words. Other times, it's squee'ing and fluff about the chapters or something that happened or was said in the chapter. you dont need to feel like you...

Aside from my propensity to write GL (averagely at best), there probably are. Considering all of the various stories i've started, every protag tends to be a thicc, busty conventionally feminine girl who, at the same time, are complete and utter athletic tomboys. Girls who have no trouble...

haha, you'd be surprised. You wouldnt believe the amount of politics, backstabbing and shenanigans that took place among the allied powers in the field in WW2. the amount of disputes between command structures and scheming over who would call the highest shots in certain theaters was, well, they...

:blobrofl: :blobrofl: :blobrofl: :blobrofl: :blobrofl: :blobrofl: Now, i'd actually be tempted to read a novel like that if told with the thicc wife as the protag. A thicc S Domme torturing ugly bastard cheaters.

That was actually one of the things they touched on, that sometimes you actually have to tell certain things to the reader so that they wont misunderstand something that's shown.

Dont know if this would belong in Discussion/writing tips or here so i'm sticking it here. Tony or mods, feel free to shift this if you think it fits better there. A lot of people here will mention "show, dont tell" quite often as a tip for writers seeking advice but very few if any actually...

it's a sentiment that can actually be true. Just look at all the #metoo male feminists and simps in the past few years that have been exposed as variously sex pests, predators (and i think one or two were actually exposed as pedos). Hell, just look at the now ex-NY governor, hoist on his own...

Yes it does, doesnt it? Hey, that's the process. late comers think they know best and try to change things in a toxic manner. Gatekeeping can be bad but at the same time, it exists because of toxic late comers and antis who come in and try to change or take over things yeah, that line was...
