    Non-English words/phrases in fantasy.

    It depends. I've seen some very good novels inventing their own fantasy languages. I love those. Or author's using their mother tongue or languages from cultures they understand well in a suitable setting. If you have knock-off cultivator protagonist without a transmigrator/reincarnator...

    I am disgusted. How people treat children of their "lessers". Laughing. The "thief" you beat is a child. And these people have same DNA as I? How.

    If you had a choice, would you transmigrate into your novel?

    It depends. If there is a way for me to avoid meeting the protagonist, it would not be too bad. The world is similar to our own early 2000s. There is a decent chance of living an ordinary life without dying a horrible death or being turned into a human tree. I would absolutely read that. I've...

    How do you do it?

    I have always had a good memory for stories. Growing up in a difficult environment, there were many different "stories" one had to keep straight. Mix them up? Earn a beating. I will remember the gist of a story decades after reading it. Thus, to differentiate "proper" literature and popular...

    Recommendations Reference for Xanxia

    Make sure you match your levels and cultivation system to your moves. Western Xianxia cultivation novels are usually hilarious because they mix up different schools without world-building reasons. E.g. you have a Daoist Chan school disciple of the Lord of Primordial Beginning using moves...

    What ideas do you want to see more of in novels?

    Characters that act their age and are 30+ would be incredible. Too many gods, ancients, and reincarnators are as short-sighted and impulsive as a toddler on sugar. I wish I could revive Hemingway.

    interesting. theories on why auctioning her requires killing her: perhaps moving a soul between worlds is cheaper than using matter. besides, that way the client can choose a body to their liking. it could also be a requirement. perhaps matter cannot cross the dimensional barrier at all.

    Look, I normally don't do this.

    Your advertising is a bit early. You will have more success if you wait until after you've written ten chapters at least. I do not read romance of any kind, but even if I did, I never touch a novel with less than ten chapters.

    What would you have done?

    Stay. Just lost my job, still looking. You can keep your eyes out during the one month they gave you. As for accent, I do not know much German. Bitte, Danke, Schuldigung. Did your colleagues tell you which aspect you need to improve? Pitch? Word choice? Or certain phonemes (vowels...

    What happened next

    The rule of underdogs and unexpected(?) plot twists dictates that they should all be there to assassinate the original protagonist. BUT they do not know that their miniscule(?) changes to the timeline killed his nanny which caused him to venture out and grow prematurely. He is now...

    Impotence The bottle of vodka is heavy, The world it contains is light. Sip after sip my hand's steady As it pours me a future so bright. What could have been turns to dust, Its sparkles in glazed over eyes Soon mellow the sense of disgust That marred their pure pools of bice. The world they...
