    What do you think about a twist on a familiar trope that completely changes its fundamental essense?

    Sorry. I was about to say something extremely offensive there. Let's just say it's a nice addition to the list but not something I'm obsessed with.

    Vanilla NTR? Hell no. I do get your point, though. That's actually a very nice analogy.

    What do you think about a twist on a familiar trope that completely changes its fundamental essense?

    Same answer. I wanna see how far I can push with this until it breaks or doesn't work anymore. But your question already answers mine, it seems. Even if I do something super clever, there'll be some pricks saying that anyway. So, why bother, right, princess?

    What do you think about a twist on a familiar trope that completely changes its fundamental essense?

    Little twists here and there are very common, but I wanna see how far I can push, you know. What I said.

    What do you think about a twist on a familiar trope that completely changes its fundamental essense?

    Take vampire, for example. This is an iconic trope that has been done a lot. Even people who aren't particularly into fantasy know what it is. We know they're creatures of the night, weak against sunlight, and suck blood to survive. But what if I completely change the essence of it? For example...

    What do you think of humanity?

    Humans are great inventors. We make up stuff to compensate for our flaws, weaknesses, and shortcomings. We don't have wings, and yet we found a way to travel through the sky. We can't breath under water, and yet we found a way to do it. We went to the moon. Heck, we even got many glimpses at the...

    If you like an author's latest work, would you read the author's previous work?

    If I really like the story I'm reading, I would sometimes check out other stuff from the same author. But it's no different from me searching through the Series Finder for a new story to read. If something catches my eyes, I'll read it.

    A family member that you interact the most becomes the MC’s love interest.

    With my hands firmly on my phone, of course.

    Looking for a no harem and romance

    This is contradictory.

    What makes them different?

    A desire to make a living out of writing. I mean that's what separates amateurs/hobbyists from professionals in the first place. Oh, and those stories you've mentioned are likely being monetized as well, whether it's through Patreon or anywhere else.

    Are stories becoming just MC OP and pleasure-seeking?

    The main draw of web novels is wish-fulfillment. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I suspect the OP MC got into trend because many readers—myself included—were tired of the same ol' fragile MCs who always get their asses handed to them by the bad guys. It's a conventional wisdom to make...

    Am I the only one?

    As someone who is an absolute perfectionist and get bored easily myself, I suggest you learn the craft and have a plan before you start. Learning the craft is simple: take what works and deem other things bullshit, no matter if someone says otherwise. The stuff that works is the stuff that you...

    Once more I must partake of this cup.

    Shame. Okay, you seem serious. Why not just tell them straight? No is no and means no. If you can't really say no, then find some excuses to get out of there. I still insist on grabbing a girl, though. Maybe find a familiar face? Or look for someone who looks like they're sharing the same...

    Once more I must partake of this cup.

    Grab a girl and say, "I gotta go."

    Do people think that books written in Pulp Speed are cheap?

    Not necessarily, but writing too fast can mean you're not putting lots of thought into it, which means the story can come off shallow. It could also be a perception bias. If you don't tell readers how much time you spent writing it, and readers see it as of high quality, then it's a high...
