    Which is better: sacrificing yourself for the world—for strangers who don't even know you and won't remember you—or betraying the world to ensure someone whom you love keeps breathing? The Author narrates it, the author makes the readers feel it, and the author lets the readers decide for...

    Non-Linear to Linear Chapter Sorting

    If you dont add any story elements, you don't need to republish. Simply drag and drop chapters in chronological order and save them. This feature is already in the chapter list.

    Writing How do you appreciate your own work?

    The best validation comes from personal motivation. Readers can complain and leave like guests. But you, the author, the host, survive and continue writing your story. My question is, how do you appreciate your own work, regardless of whether others care about your fiction or not?

    Got a big troll and reported, but admins doing nothing

    Not yet, I hope never. My fiction has been relatively quiet.

    Is this synopsis fine?

    I can get the gist of the story. The synopsis already has a hook. Publish it!

    An Inclusive Cultivation Journey — Age of the Divine Dragon (60 Chapters, Ongoing)

    My suggestions for developing your fiction: (1) Your chapters are more about "telling" than "showing," which reduces immersion for the reader. The solution is to explain the characters' personalities and emotions through actions. You can explain the characters' emotions through gestures or...

    Rate My Cover Chat

    Honestly, the art is great. However, I'm not sure it would sell as a cover for SH, which likes a waifu anime-centric.

    Thanks for the advice. I'm feeling better. Maybe I was too ambitious in trying to finish volume 2 right away, which drained my creative energy. I just really need a break.

    Writing Did I do it wrong?

    I'll just add a little advice. Choose 3-5 genres that truly represent the core of your fiction. Too many genres will confuse readers. This way, readers can clearly understand the themes of your fiction, allowing for a more controlled readership and avoiding wrong genre expectations.

    I need some advice to write the first Act of a story

    Hmmm... perhaps your friends find your descriptions too heavy. They might want a flowing action narrative instead of a descriptive narrative. Perhaps you should shift your narrative to a cinematic action narrative, rather than a descriptive one. A cinematic scene is one that is action-packed...

    Do You Have Plot Armor

    I don't understand what you're talking about... the thread title is about fiction, but you're talking about everyday life, which is irrelevant to your thread's question.

    Goal of romance

    So, this question points to the practice of romance? Pragmatically, perhaps yes. That's often the case. However, if you examine it from other aspects, such as psychological, philosophical, and sociological, the answer isn't that simple. Practice and theory often don't align.

    I need some advice to write the first Act of a story

    It doesn't matter if it affects the plot; every complexly written character (not just a plot device) should have the ability to influence the plot. However, the emphasis of narrative betrayal is more towards betraying the spirit of the story (the fictional premise). Of course, this is...

    I need some advice to write the first Act of a story

    You should ignore these complaints. You know... there's nothing more exhausting than responding to every complaint and trying to satisfy everyone's needs. Criticism can be good only as long as it's helpful. For example, your friend might criticise a plot hole in Act 1. This is a good...

    I need some advice to write the first Act of a story

    Narrative betrayal occurs when you betray your fictional premise. For example, your synopsis promises an epic adventure exploring a spectacular fantasy world, but the narrative simply consists of the protagonist amassing a harem without ever touching on the epic adventure itself. This is...

    I need some advice to write the first Act of a story

    I don't have any good advice to satisfy your answer. But I would say don't let readers influence your story. Yes, readers are important, but readers don't determine the narrative; the author determines where the narrative will go. I understand the complaints about reduced views (because I also...

    I used to stay up until dawn just to marathon-read manhwa/fiction. But when it comes to writing... I can't do that. Creative energy is different from imaginative energy. Creative energy drains the mind's focus. Imaginative energy allows fantasy to take over the mind (more relaxing).

    I'm not evil... I'm realistic. In fact, happy endings don't make narrative sense, especially in a dark world. Imagine the real world... wars rarely end happily. Everyone suffers, even society not involved in the war. A tragic ending feels humane and realistic. :blob_evil_two:
