    Why Isekai?

    Your opinion can actually be an inherent criticism. Even stories considered symbols of wish fulfillment can't escape harsh reality. They try to tell a happy story, but the background is very dark (romanticizing suicide is insane). Truck-Kun parody isn't just nonsense.

    Why Isekai?

    Isekai is indeed designed as a wish-fulfillment fantasy. This genre was born from the Japanese hikomorri culture, where many people isolate themselves socially due to the pressures of life. Why is the MC killed only to be sent to another world with a cheat? The short answer is because it's the...

    Imagine a war where strength isn't the deciding factor in victory, but rather strategy, character psychology, ideology, terrain conditions, logistics, socio-political dynamics, and tactical warfare all work together to create a multi-layered war. In this kind of fiction, the MC can't rely solely...

    Writing Envy Lesson: Write to Entertain

    Entertaining is important, but it's not the primary goal. If you just want to entertain readers, and readers (the market) enjoy content about sexual violence, pedophilia, incest, etc., does that mean authors should write such things? This is an extreme example, but I want to show the dark side...

    Unfortunately, a deep fantasy story like Frieren is more likely to come to life if the protagonist is a local, rather than an isekai protagonist.

    1-month Pure Literacy Challenge

    You won't really know until you try. Many people have spectacular ideas, but they're too afraid to touch a pen (or keyboard) and put them into action. Most ideas just sit in the minds for years, weighing on their minds (including me before I decided to write fiction). But there are also those...

    Well, if that's what you're criticising, then your opinion is valid. Or rather, the authors whom you're criticising are misdirected (seeking validation but taking the wrong approach).

    The indicator of fiction's success is more determined by how well it meets the author's expectations. If the purpose of fiction is simply to relieve stress, then when the author successfully releases negative emotions through fiction, the author can be considered successful, at least by personal...

    Ultimately, every writer may have different motivations. But if fiction isn't entertaining, won't it be popular? Perhaps, but not all authors pursue popularity.

    In fact, authors write fiction for more than just entertainment. Some seek to educate through moral stories (e.g., fables). Others want to express the burdens weighing on their minds. Some seek to realize the author's fantasies. Still others seek to make fiction a symbolic historical record.

    Well, one valid point is that the purpose of writing fiction is to "entertain." However, that can't be a comprehensive basis for judging all fiction.

    What are some of your favorite story openings (Author's Edition)

    opening? Do you mean prologue or chapter 1?! Well, I tend to start with an atmosphere for a quick worldbuilding, then get down to the story premise, usually an action that contains human values, beliefs, ideologies or dark past. for example, a mother who feeds her daughter but she herself...

    Most fiction where the MC claims to be a villain, mob, NPC, or even cannon fodder is 'stupid' enough to not realize that they are the protagonist in their own life story.

    Between isekai JRPG and non-jrpg isekai, which is better?

    Non-game isekai. I want more isekai that explore the human side of being faced with the reality of living in a foreign land. Can you adapt and survive? You have nothing, no skills or cheats, and don't even understand the local language. It's a more realistic scenario. Unfortunately, few isekai...

    Need Help with advice, anyone?

    Judging from engagement, your stats are pretty good. You've only released 19 chapters and already have dozens of loyal readers, 4 ratings, and you've even gotten one review. You know reviews are valuable - many fiction on SH have tens or even hundreds of chapters and don't have organic reviews...

    No matter how many times it's been repeated, the last knight standing trope remains cool. It's one of the most humane fictional tropes, inspired by real history.
