I don't know about what you're looking for, but I know another mahou shoujo themed dystopian manga. It's called "Mahou Shoujo of the End". It has a rushed end but good enough story nevertheless.

So true. PS: What I meant is the one between Kiritsugu's dilemma and the Dune Emperor's sacrifice. Though, this made me remember Lelouch's master plan with his sacrifice required by the end of everything.

You're right, destroying the grail is the best way out. Still, I appreciate the thoughts and processes behind it as it was my first true (in-depth) exposure to moral dilemmas. PS: I don't know who is that God Emperor (as I only know the one from 40k), so I can't tell which one is better.

I have seen this moral dilemma in a certain anime (Fate/Zero). That anime shows the utilitarian side of consequentialism more, though it helped me understand both sides better. The way I see it, the few vs many dilemma can be simply expressed as "objective (many)" vs "subjective (few)". If you...

+1 for romance. Based from your story, it should be a dark/heavy-themed one. Adding a romance to it would at least "refresh" your readers and have a break when it comes to these stuff. Chainsaw man is a good example of that as it combines comedy and heavy themes to create a distinct work...

I've experienced this too. What I did back then is to take a break and sort things up. Rearrange the storyline in your head and resolve your worries is what I did. If you're still thinking that you might ruin your work, just think that there'll be future arcs to make it up. That, and your chance...

It's what comes to my mind first. Of course, I'm more familiar with gray since I've been using it since childhood.

Interestingly, I find systems as a kind of deus ex machina, but more subtle. It allows us to interfere with the story and not make it seem like the protag is over-abusing his/her plot armor (luck, fate, etc). It also makes the story better, so why not? As to how the system came to my work, MC...

Yes. Writing lemons is a difficult task for me. Due to some inexplicable forces messing up my mind, I can't help but stop at every three lines and feel awkward with it. That's why I took over 3 days just to finish a 2,000 words chapter. Going outside your comfort zone helps you grow better as a...

It depends on the context. For me, I tend to write the names once the conversation is a bit lengthy so as to remind the readers on who's speaking. If it's two people, it wasn't needed much. Though, you'll definitely have to consider doing this for three or more people. While their...

Talk to your family or friends. Opening up to them might ease or lighten the burden that you're feeling. They can also give you trustworthy advices, so that's a plus. Find things that you can have fun with. Lastly, you can try closing up that matter with your friends, like apologizing for the...

If you're writing on the premise that MC lost his powers and starts all over again, amnesia is a good plot device to use. It makes things more convenient (to the author) yet everything will still make sense to the readers. There's also a tinge of mystery that you can use with amnesia.

Wait, y'all don't eat instant noodles as it is? The crunch is good, I mean it.

The advantage of releasing a novel slowly is its flexibility. It allows you to change the storyline whenever you think of a better one. This can also reduce the plot holes that you might write in your novel. You'll also be able to apply the writing advice your commenters gave you. This way, your...

Well-explained magic sysyem? Then it should be Coiling Dragon. As far as I remember, CD became one, if not most used, magic systems in the majority of the novels that I saw. You know the novels that has Saint-Class Mages, Battle Warriors with Aura, or God-Realm with Law Comprehension? It all...

Do make sweet scenes. Romance shouldn't also be developed in a rushed way if you're aiming for 'realness'. Still, there are some cases, in which rushed romance is still that good. I recommend reading Ending Maker and SSS-Class Suicide Hunter for that. In the former, it took them 200+ chapters...

I write using the Formal type. I didn't like the 4th wall breaker type. It breaks the immersion of the novel, at least for me. Still, I try my best to show the characters' colors so that my 3rd POV narration wouldn't feel that bland.

Since I started writing just for the fun of it, I never completely planned it from start to finish. Though, I had it easier due to my novel's theme (Moving between 2 Worlds). I first list down the pattern (1st World--2nd World--1st World) before I started putting more details on each pattern. I...

Hm.. I've read the entire thing about a year ago, so I might've made a mistake there. Thanks for pointing it out! Though, OP could still checck out the other novel that I've recommended. That one's definitely a psychopath, apathetic, and cruel fmc.

I've read the WN, and Shiro isn't actually an evil MC. At most, she's a chaotic neutral. The WN didn't have a rushed end too; it got on hiatus due to the author focusing on the LN first. She's apathetic towards the people that she views as her enemies, though she still cares about her friend and...
