    Who's the Most OP Character You Created?

    Up until now, the strongest being in my series is the Evil Entity, who made a deal with my protagonist in exchange for something precious ( Spoiler! ). It was an unknown entity that could do all impossible feats, such as stopping time across the realm, manifesting in all place that was...

    Escapism

    I read novels because I'm in pursuit of something perfect, I guess. I longed to behold the story that touched and resonated with me, deeply to the very soul, if I ever had one. Also, stop with the flaming guys, are we not allowed to have an opinion anymore?

    The Day You Became A Decent Writer

    Here's my first-ever, unfinished one-shot that I abandoned. It's a story about a strong cultivator trying to breakthrough out fail because Heaven needed someone to die to become a treasure trove for the chosen one aka the Protagonist. My first proud work should be Don't Cultivate.

    Writing How to Make Conversation Between 3+ People Less Repetitive?

    Treat it like a mini-chapter. By detailing your end-goal, you can start by leading the topic of conversation from the lighthearted topic and connected it to the serious topic by similarity or through linking various things together. As long as you have a clear goal in mind, you'll know when to...

    Sensitivity Reader, do you use them?

    You see Doctor Who, Jame Bond, Ghost Buster? That's what political correctness did to the series. They're ruining them. I see no need to appeal to certain people that would never read my fiction anyway.

    Feeling intimidated by the bombastic language people use in their stories.

    I sometimes used complicated words to spice things up when I wanted the "mystical" feeling in my scenery or the "unknowable" atmosphere in the scene.

    Writing Prompt Why Japan?

    Because the Chinese would start a massacre and ascended the blood throne, while the Korean would replace the gods themselves.

    For the authors who introduce their characters, why you do that?

    I did it with my protagonist, and I must admit that it's an amateurish and non-engaging way of introducing the main cast. Although it laid the groundwork for the story, there're ways to have it more interesting. However, now I almost always never introduced a character more than their name. It...

    Art and insecurities

    I'm not an artist but a writer and some other things. However, I have to say, it's your life and passion, who can control you? It's not like you would go out and make someone's life a living hell. So, draw all the fetishes you wished. If you are pressured into doing something, then you are...

    Does anyone else post a chapter and then keep refreshing the page every 2 minutes?

    I kinda accepted that my novels won't be popular and have already moved on.

    Have you ever had an idea you never made for one reason or another?

    I have like twenty ideas but didn't make it into stories because I'm busy with the current one, and didn't want to drop any of the stories for the others.

    I made myself shed tear in one of my story due to sadness and grief.

    Copy-paste a dialogue from your novel!

    "Ocelia, you can stop now. It doesn't matter anymore. You have done your best." A dull voice transmitted into her ears, numbing her body and melting her heart. At that moment, she felt a warming sensation rushing through her blood vessels, loosening her body and telling her to lay down and sleep...

    Do you use the glossary?

    I think it's too much work to update the glossary every chapter so I'll update it at the end of each volume. Also, to not spoil my readers I'll also not add any plot-related element into it.

    Getting an audience vs Improving in writing

    It's either your story or theirs. That's the dynamic between you and the readers. Want more followers? Write wish-fulfilment. Want a high-quality plot? Write what you planned. High quality doesn't equal big fanbase. Ex: Many people didn't like losing. However, losing is a big part of character...

    An Immoral novel

    I'm a fan of dehumanization, so if there is good drama and not just sex then I might read this.

    How do you properly advertise your own work?

    Never tell someone to read my fictions. If they asked, I'll give the link. My goal is pretty much getting someone to recommend my fiction to their friends.
