    When should an OP character fail?

    OP is not perfect. The most common imperfection for genius muscular mana-rich ex-assassin doctor type characters is social incompetence. Craziness, insomnia, and PTSD are also popular. An OP doctor is not necessarily a good match for a genius strategist. Focus on your character's domain...

    Did you ever feel scared uploading your chapter

    No. Little to be scared of when no one will read it but myself. You can flashback, time travel, time skip. It's your story. If something needs telling, do not hesitate. You can always edit it later. Is this not part of the reason people publish on sites like this one? To get feedback and...

    It depends on the genre. I believe a good action novel needs them. But a philosophical contemporary fiction maybe not.

    Indomitable human spirit.

    I wrote some poems about fatalism. Personally, I think the concept of fate is deeply disturbing. The thought of being nothing but a thread in a larger tapestry, seeing the threads around you tangling and forming intricate patterns, only to be cut off and replaced eventually... The...

    Indomitable human spirit.

    I like it. Protagonist without it are not likable. Should it win? I see no should. Perseverance or not, sometimes we do not reach our goals. Humans die. A man dying after having done everything he could is beautiful.

    he longs to go. he wants to see the relieve spread over their face as they free themselves and pass on. yet it does not appear. the violent struggles are not what he needs, yet they feed his addiction. this one, no, the next one must be it. again and again he is drawn to the common spots...

    Do you intentionally skip chapters?

    Not every chapter contributes to the story. Sometimes you might wish to know how it ends without wading through fifty chapters of untagged smut... Or you are invested in the lives of the three initial main characters, when the author decides Steve#5's stereotypical inner thoughts need a hundred...

    Do you intentionally skip chapters?

    I often skip in multi-perspective novels. There are some MCs I can't be bothered to care about. Otherwise, porn and weird slice of life fillers, skip and skip! ✂

    Second day without any mind numbing agents. Ate canned beans for breakfast, cleaned my desk, wrote and published a chapter. Now it's time to do some mindless drone work to earn my wages.

    How do you write?

    With my current novel, I post as I write only because I am not terribly interested in success. It's a project to keep me away from mind-numbing drugs. I think this site is for people who enjoy their writing. Most ambitious people focus their efforts elsewhere.

    Fanfics or original content?

    Original content. Though I've read a few Chinese and Russian language fanfictions that were far enough removed from the original to be called original themselves. And I enjoy parodies. Write more parodies, please.

    [daily] taking out the trash

    After falling deep for the past three days, I dried up today and heaved myself out of the bottle. Thanks to the lack of mind numbing agents, I managed to buy some groceries, eat, and write another chapter. Now I will head to the gym.
