    PAY ARTISTS !!

    Honestly... it's unfair for someone to complain about AI art. They're probably using pirated software. If someone wants to be honest about their principles, they should use all the paid features: OS, Ms. Word, CorelDraw, Photoshop, etc. Well, luckily, Linux developers aren't upset that their...

    What makes your fiction unique?

    I wonder how it's possible for someone to love a gender-reversed version of themselves within a single consciousness? I once read a Chinese fiction about a protagonist who travels through time and meets (and then falls in love with) a gender-reversed version of themselves. But that only...

    What makes your fiction unique?

    The premise of my fiction is subversive: That premise already shows how subversive my fiction is. It explicitly rejects the hero's journey trope. It places the mother and daughter at the emotional center of the story. It implicitly prioritizes domestic peace over world peace. Why? Because...

    What do you think of this fight scene opening?

    Well, initially I could visualize the threat of the orcs (or orks) at the beginning of the scene. However, when entering the battle, I lost focus and tension. Some points to note why I felt this way: (1) The visualization at the beginning of the scene is good. However, the narrative does not...

    Well, morality isn't built overnight... the author simply provides one medium for empathy through fiction. The rest is left to family, education, culture, and religion.

    Well, we possess a powerful ability called empathy. We don't have to suffer directly to understand suffering. Empathy allows us to experience another person's emotions and become more compassionate. Dark fantasy is essentially just a vehicle for empathizing with suffering. By feeling connected...

    I love dark fantasy... not because I like darkness. But it allows us to explore sides of humanity that's often hidden. Furthermore, by contrasting the darkness of the world with humanity, we (readers) can better appreciate peace. "Humans will never understand each other until they share the...

    Feedback request on my Isekai Harem fantasy adventure

    If that's what readers are complaining about, then feel free to revise the narrative as long as it doesn't conflict with your artistic vision. Readers complaining means they care enough about your fiction.

    Feedback request on my Isekai Harem fantasy adventure

    Well, I don't know where you're publishing your fiction... but whether readers find a hook isn't just about a well-written narrative. It's more about the resonance between the fiction and the reader. Fiction that connects emotionally, even if the writing is mediocre or even below average, is...

    Hey there, I need your opinion

    Your synopsis still contains unnecessary infodump to make readers care. Furthermore, the personal stakes are only implied, making it difficult for readers to connect emotionally.

    Ever noticed that your character is a pretty crappy person? / What if worldbuilding leads to moral issues?

    That's precisely the advantage of dark fantasy... you can explore the moral gray area. My fiction is even built on the assumption of a moral premise: What if the world chose to forget its savior and its sins, while the savior chose instead to protect her daughter's innocence? So, implicitly, I...

    Friends can be found in many ways such as childhood friends, classmates, workmates, and hobby friends (here). The most important thing in friendship is to show friendliness and sincerity. If you are kind to others, then others will organically feel at ease with you. But don't just befriend...

    [Help me] Determine Writing the Priority of Fiction Works Based on the Story's Premises

    I don't know why people recommend me to choose Detective Clara... at least 3 people gave their opinion (from SH and RR). Well, maybe you like Sherlock Holmes and Detective Conan. Unfortunately, Detective Clara is not Holmes or Conan. She is an emotional female detective and relies on...
