    Running my idea with you guys (those who bothered to post)

    So I stole an old idea and split the human body to three; body, mind and energy. The below means what the example class is mainly focused on, NOT WHAT THEY ONLY ARE. Because a human with only one aspect isn't a complete human/ living being. Body as in physical, classes/ jobs include warrior...

    Fleshing a character versus spanning paragraphs and chapters

    I have been there before; read about a chill old druid self sacrificing himself for his party and suddenly, backstory time. For just chunky three paragraphs, his entire sad story got vomitted out and while I still feel emotional for the character, the backstory thing is still jarring. Then in...

    You are about to embark on a villainous family route.

    Picture this, you got isekai-ed into a poor family of cultivators as the head of the family with everything intact, memories and personality-wise. Your family just managed to become the top family because the previous top family got destroyed due to random disaster unrelated to you. Would you...

    Would you enjoy a bottom to top reading ride or a fallen from grace and claw back up experience.

    Terminology: Bottom to Top means MC starts as a nothing, or at least initially presented as having nothing. For example, Kurosaki Ichigo, just a common delinquent who then grew to become a somebody. And then found out he's a Ditto with shinigami father and a quincy mother who gave him a...

    Should my MC becomes a nosy person

    Let this be clear; my MC is a murderhobo like many CNs. That's because I copy rather blatantly. And my MC prime target isn't the normal criminals and gangsters but rather weak, new supervillains with superpowers because killing these superhumans makes him stronger. Also, I cheated by having...

    How does LitRPG passive skills level up?

    Yeah I asked google the same question, but I don't like the answers AI provided. Acitve skills such as Dash, Slash and Smash require to use the skills constantly to level up. For passive skills however, it is suppose to be the same thing, just use. But my issue is that passives are always on...

    Does this explanation makes sense to you?

    So below is a explanation to explain a person's superpower aka Temporal Acceleration (like Chase in Dispatch) and how his strength is still low despite moving so fast. Jack isn't a strong person, his superspeed isn't like how Wu Kang's monstrous body works; via using his huge powerful muscles...

    Pointless powerups for main character

    Anyone ever got that feeling when you read a work and a main character gaining some super cool power up or new skill that feels cool but actually served no plot purpose? I'll give two examples from two different works. First example is in late stage novel (work ending in less than 100 chps)...

    AI assisted, a vague term on purpose.

    So while AI generated work should definitely be flagged, should AI assisted works too be flagged? My stance is yes, but is using AI to do research and occasionally brainstorming consider AI assisted? Because I do that tons of time. Even in my own office work. As a subpar hobbist "writer", I...

    Underdog stories that grow to be not good.

    Might be my fault for only reading underdog stories and not "strong from start". In that sense, a very specific underdog story in "very poor", "harassed by gangmembers/ elites" or "mediocre rising to top" and not "once genius now crippled" or "start with annulment". Maybe I am trying to find...

    Just some thought regarding the cultivation concept between man and universe.

    Calling it cultivation concept isn't wrong, because normay only in xianxia would this topic be front and centre. In these cases, it is always about how man the human cultivate himself to then affect the universe around him. Ignoring the mumbo jumbo mystic crap, it is also a fun analogy for...

    The Great Censorship of Chinese Party strikes again

    First they take away the yaoi, now they take away the wish fulfilment. What next? Women's right for education?

    Recommendations MC who slowly chromes himself for power up

    Take David Martinez as example but minus the cyberpsychosis. In CN, a bunch of MC will mutate themselves and their flesh into cthulhu form in xuanhuan for more power. A MC turns into space whale, a MC turns into Galactus with dragons for fingers and treeroots for feet and a MC who would make...

    Kill or spare?

    Here's a dumb fucking question. An AYM just popped into your town and is gunning people down for fun. Dude's about to kill your precious *insert something or someone*, and you managed to subdue him. He pleads for his life obviously and things can go both ways; you kill him, high chance his...

    Villains/ antagonists with interesting superpowers

    As stated before, I want to have my MC use an actual existing, fictional (as in from manga, light novel, TV series) villain/ antagonist's superpower as his own. If you have any suggestion, please state and thank you. I use the term antagonists because it widens my scope of search. Character...

    Getting naruto shippuden-ed sucks

    Whelp, a CN just naruto shippuden-ed me, that is to say, tell me that the pauper MC I've been following from start turns out to be the lost prince of the king of the planet. At least the work didn't do the "following the totally-not-gay-completely-platonic same sex childhood friend and...

    Writing Random cultivation system garbo that I had plans for but am now too tired

    So humans have 360 ++ acupuncture points (fuck I hate chinese papers and their constant fluctuation with 360 to 400++) Also this is a idea I stole from a bunch of chinese such as Tribulation of Myriad Races and 人在仙武,有小游戏 (it is chinese for you to know that no one is TL-ing it) and some other...

    @Hoshino Fun sidenote, I always forget about the "copy" button at the textbox in mobile CGPT.

    Writing Prompt Bug user

    So stupid idea this is because this is heavily inspired by "Carrying the Bases of Starcraft": MC is a bug user like Shino Aburame or Taylor Herbert in some random high death world, but he only got limited slots so he can't do zerg rush. Instead, he can summon a single King unit at a time from...

    Recommendations MC has future sight/ can go to future and back to past and alter future

    I think there is a small trend of CN MC with future sight/ capable of travel to future and back/ simulated future plus the ability to reap future rewards such as cultivation level, special treasures or future specific memories. I enjoyed it for a brief moment regarding this type of cheat when...
