Why isekai = lazy writing? And anyone could do anything, but pulling it off is the challenge. They might treat others better, but at the same time, there might not be the sanctity of life present. Which would mean that they would treat an average life less than other things (like honour...

My final outline before I started to write my first chapter was about 20k words after 3-4 months of research. I would say it alone was enough for half of my story or about 100k words. It kept growing afterwards as plotline changed about 5 times or so while I would add more tidbits to my...

I had to do significant research on ancient civilizations. It is both very different and not. Quite a lot of minutiae are similar and many things we consider modern are actually not. But a lot of large scale parts of society are vastly different. They might have fast-food restaurants, but the...

Have you read "Ring of Fire" by Eric Flint?

What are your plans for the future? Are you planning on writing this novel exclusively or branching out? How long is the expected final word count? What were you feeling when the first number became 3?

Intelligent characters dont mean prophetic characters that know the answer in advance, They can struggle and they can be wrong. What puts them on the forefront and usually makes them reach the correct conclusion is the speed at which they juggle possibilities and discard failed theories. And...

I would say use a very common tactic that is employed in the real world subconsciously by many people. Testing the boundaries. Don't crank sass to 11 from the beginning have the character probe others with weaker stuff and see who reciprocates/shrugs off/gets annoyed and when. And then keep it...

When I started posting, I was the runt of the litter. My story was lagging behind every single one that started alongside mine. But I kept going without stopping. Now, just 5 months later of constant writing whenever I had any free time at all, I am approaching quarter-million views.

Unlikely, there have been other actions that corroborate the more recent time. Specifically, the ko-fi ping that was mentioned in the review. Which coincided with the time review was pinged, rather than the date it was marked at.

Got a review today (yay!), but noticed an interesting oddity - it was not the most recent despite being last. Not only that but it was tagged as had been posted last month (Oct 1st) rather than 4 hours ago. Not critical by any means but any bug is worth reporting.

Dude, really? Criticizing? All I said was that I disagreed with you, and stated my opinion. You accuse me of not reading your post yet gloss over mine: where I was specifically talking about that writing medium does use timing but the timing is achieved differently than spoken comedy and...

There have been many over the years, including neither of the banter, quipping, stand-up, and physical. One author simply described a situation where a bureaucracy hamfistedly tried to solve an issue only to make it worse. The reason why I was laughing was due to how well he had managed to...

I would disagree with you here. Written medium is perfectly capable of transmitting comedy and had done so quite well for hundreds of years. It just does so in a completely different manner than a verbal joke would use. This is why the jokes would fall flat if you would directly transcribe them...

I just wrote a review without the intention of doing the swaps, So you dont have to read too much. Especially since I do get plenty already. The issue with names, even if they will be used in the future is that there are too many of them so early in the story. No matter whether they will be...

Well, I just did a quick glance. on your first chapter and if you dont mind my forum review then here it is. Your picture/title/synopsis are nice really nice, but ambiguous. Very ambiguous. I had no idea what the story will be about and whatever synopsis had promised me was out of the equation...

I would probably say that this would be an extremely daunting task that will require a tremendous amount of skill to pull off. You are essentially banking on readers liking your story enough to read it again but with additional hurdles like: 1-your progress is reset. this is very significant...

Telling/showing isn't about detail. It is about whether you directly tell the reader what they should feel and think ("Bob is an asshole MC will teach him a lesson") Or whether you would show the reader the necessary amount of information for them to connect the dots themselves. ("Bob liked to...

Your synopsis is too heavy on details. Specifically names and new terms. Which makes it extremely cumbersome to read. This is important - it is designed to help the reader to understand the book. If it is confusing already the reader won't pick it up. Your 1st chapter is high on details albeit...

Yes, there is no point in arguing in circles. You made your points and opinions, I made mine. Interested readers can read both and choose whichever is the most applicable for their specific story.
