    Need Ideas for a horror school story

    Well, reading a ghost with life goals would be a first for me.:blob_sir: (Brain rot is getting to me...)

    Backstory now or later?

    Hmm... I'm too inexperienced to give advice on the matter. But I can tell you what I did in my book and see if it works for you in any way. So basically the idea of the first volume is to kick start the story as a massive prologue (not the brightest idea for many reasons, most of all the...

    What's your main character's biggest flaw?

    Hmm... Lyon has definitely many flaws. An uncontrollable bloodthirsty dark side that is trying to turn him over is the first thing that comes to mind, but that's not really a flaw but more of an obstacle. Before volume 1, I'd say rushing recklessly into action and thinking of what that entails...

    General Plot and Worldbuilding Feedback

    I only have a question. While thematically it makes sense for the demigod bloodlines to run for 10 years, have you done the math on that? I mean, what percentage of the population do they occupy and about those families that eventually lose their demigodhood. Do they lose their wealth and end up...

    reusing characters

    I wouldn't really recommend dropping your original work in general. If you give up now, what is stopping you from dropping the next one when it starts going in a different direction again? And what if that keeps happening? Will you ever finish a story with that mindset? Sorry for sounding a bit...

    How many chapters do you post per week?

    If you are looking to do it professionally, you go with the market, the market doesn't come with you, unless you've already 'hit' and have a fanbase ready to read your work within your set of rules. If you can't go with its flow, then you are not ready. Of course, there are exceptions, but you...

    How many chapters do you post per week?

    It doesn't really matter if you are doing it as a hobby, but if you aim for something professional 5-7 chapters is the norm, and some go as far as 14 per week (two chapter per day). As for length around the 1200-2000 mark. Me personally 5 chapters per week at the 1500 mark. Although I'll have...

    Looking for Feedback on Dual Levelling: I Level Up with My Clones – Action, Characters, and Clones

    Well my advice is to post the link of the story here. Can't do much else since I am drowning in work at the moment, but I can at least say that.

    Writing How do you get through the dreaded middle point?

    I haven't reached that point yet in my story, so I can't talk from any kind of experience, but I think it boils down to how well thought out the ending is. Note that this ending isn't necessarily of the entire book, it can be of the volume, the arc, etc. I have done that for the entire book...

    Would've you read webnovel opener like that?

    Everyone else sums it up pretty well. If I turn my brain off sure I can see myself reading this, but the moment I try to focus, yeah, it does indeed get weird.

    Draft idea 3: Not following the protagonist

    Well that reminds me of Author's POV. I'm sure you've heard of it because its popular but if you don't Ill give you a summary: guy is author of the book struggles to figure out the ending and ends up transmigrating to a random character. Now, (similarly to you) he can't be the one to kill the...

    This is the most powerful character in the existence of stories

    Bro this takes me back to preschool where, for a good 10 minutes every day me and my friend would fascinate over counting up to 10. Then the next day was 100 eventually reaching 1milion and then finally, my friend Uno reversed me with the "But did you know there is -1." To this day, I haven't...

    This is the most powerful character in the existence of stories

    Well there's always the World of Darkness. I'm not really into the power scaling as after a certain threshold it looses its meaning, but I'm confident there are bigger cosmologies out there. So I wouldn't call it 'in fiction' but rather 'novels' cause its much more likely. And the fact he goes...

    Storyidea: A Sci-Fi slice of life romance lit rpg.

    Reading these posts makes me believe you want justification for what you've already set your mind in creating. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't really understand the point if you're already on going with the idea. Now, I am not going to attack you personally with this one, and I want to...

    The best kind of feedback is no feedback

    I don't see how we are at a disagreement. You're saying the same thing only with different wording, am I missing something here?

    The best kind of feedback is no feedback

    Okay, this might upset some of you, but here’s the truth: most people suck at giving feedback. Out of 100 people, you’ll be lucky if even 10 are worth considering. You might expect fellow new authors to give you better advice than a random friend, right? Well, sorry to break it to you, but...

    Idea Feedback: The Academy’s Paladin Instructor

    The manhua you are referring to is: Solo Max-Level Newbie. Quite a fun read. My best estimate would be that the game was in some sort of VR. It's not something serious just following the masses so I personally never really cared about the mistakes you mentioned. If you tern off your brain and...

    Would this consider to be fair use of AI?

    Okay, what I'm about to say is shady and wouldn't recommend for obvious reasons: Simply don't say you use Ai. Who is even going to know if you never mention it? Can't personally call using Ai a good as I am there to read your story not the Ai's but again how am I even going to know it Ai if it...

    having a hard time moving on

    To me it looks like you don't really know what you want to write. You get ideas that piques your interest but either don't dedicate enough time to explore them or stop when you find a point where you struggle to move on. The fact that you worry about dropping it before you even start it is quite...
