Hmm if it's a world-building you want to focus on maybe you could cut out a little of the first bit. I think the problem now is that it's too long in the sense that there is too much information. Because from the synopsis it's a little hard to figure out what is the story gimmick and focus...

I agree with the other comment try not to spell things out too completely, leave a little mystique in, tease the reader and capture their imagination. So this is my take on the synopsis, I made it a bit longer since you already have a short one available. Fang Li was as normal as a person...

I think it's perfectly fine to love and be proud of who you are as a person and culture. Honestly, every culture that exists now was most likely the most successful one that survived in its local environment. Some countries (as in the state and the government) may be arguably better than others...

Ok... That went from 0 to 100 real quick... :blob_neutral:

Edginess comes from the glorification of the dark. It's not strictly about what your protagonist does, it's more about the tone of the story. Yes his actions matter but the overall tone of the story is much more important. For example, let's take two knights in a horribly depressing world. One...

Yeah first, edge is good here

What I did for my story was a hybrid style. I experimented with a full third person with many characters and a primarily solo first person and what I found is both styles have significant strengths and weaknesses for my writing style. First-person allows for more internal monologue and much...

Here are some suggestions off the top of my head Have them go for a meal or attend a festival and let them have a chat. Meet a family member of one of the characters, this lets you give some back story to that character Meet an old rival for one of the characters, like a childhood bully or...

Ice and a turd become fire and there's soul shit 11/10

Honestly at this point from my observations gaming it is not possible and now it's devolved into my own personal mystery plot and the search for the truth.

I suspect there are ratios in there, like how likely is a reader to rate or fav. How much discussion is in the chapter relative to the amount of readers. What percentage of people who stumble across the novel are likely to continue reading and not just click off. All of these are almost...

Yeah I did some observations as well (over the course of about 6 months), and I came up with a benchmark performance for a reliable shot at the top 25 of trending. Honestly I have to say this system is really good if I'm correct in my conclusion (good job tony... I think). It doesn't seem really...

Just keep writing if you're numbers are good it'll end up there at some point. As for the front page trending well as said if the mechanics are known then it would be changed. Even if you knew about the mechanic, you need to out perform some of the top stories on the website which is down to...

It depends on the IP and the controlling entity like the mickey mouse ears is a heavily protected IP, so if you try to use it on anything no matter how transformative you can expect the mouse police to come knocking. Technically by that logic the master chief should also be under the same rule...

Just a quick question, I just posted an entry but I am feeling like I want to delete it and rework the story premise, and resubmit it under the same name. Is that allowed?

If you are just asking about the transition of friend to more than friends honestly it really depends on the individuals. Some make it more official like the pair have an agreement to date, think confessions. Sometimes it's more unspoken like they start holding hands, share a kiss, go out a...

Bold of you to assume I have basic oral hygiene...

Go play some video games, watch some shows/movies/anime, read some novels, enjoy some stories that aren't your own. Writers love stories that's why we began writing in the first place. Give yourself some time away from your novel and go explore what's out there. Sooner or later that inspiration...

Yeah I definitely agree with this approach, empty stereotypes are bad and you shouldn't put them in just because you feel you need different races. However, you can still use some of the stereotypical traits and make something reasonably interesting from them. The process I use for making races...
