Probably a waste of time in 99.999% of the kinds of books/stories people read on this site. Either the debilitating injury is actually debilitating, in which case it has to be dispensed with so the story can happen, or the MC has to change, or else it's "debilitating" as in it changes nothing...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aethra_Chronicles I'm probably outing my age here, but in spite of the graphics, it holds up really well gameplay wise. It has a very satisfying loop, and it's fun to figure out how to play. I've been playing it on and off forever, but it took me, like...

Not mine, but the only reason I visit SH is to check for updates on it. It's exactly what it says on the tin, plot wise, and I love the characters. The author is putting in work on bringing out their, well, character, lol. He also appears to have an ending in mind, which is huge points in my...

Lies! There are only men on the internet... the women on insta are clearly AI generated... (this is a joke, ftr. An old-internet deep cut)

Alright, to spare the thread, I'll carry the tangent over here. I already wrote my essay for today, so out of laziness proper and reasonable decorum and so I don't have to think of another subject tomorrow I'll write it and share it with you tomorrow. Hope you don't mind the delay :D

Much delayed response to OP. A large part of that is probably also about fit to market. Fully polished works will not do numbers on a content mill site like RR or SH. They also have very different marketing requirements. An LN style "goes on forever" story can advertise itself by hitting the...

To be fair, the original topic might have deserved a high-jacking, and besides, I'm not sure twilight doesn't deserve a place in "Authors Making Bank With Meh Stories/Writing." Now, if you want a tangent, I could really get into the weeds of the male/female writer/reader dynamic, but I'll spare...

Oh, no denying she's the prototypical VN protag, though the funny thing about that is I'd bet good money the writer had never even heard of VN's before writing twilight. I wonder if she made Bella bland on purpose? As for giving her substance, it is true that some people do be like that, and...

Tangential, but if you like the "Beauty and the Beast" concept but want to see it done really well, "Till We Have Faces" by CS Lewis is fantastic. It's a retelling of the original myth (from ¿Greek? mythology) and I think it's his best work (though his space trilogy is great too). I read it...

I think the OG Starwars deserves its praise (the special effects alone would be enough, but the rest of the execution is excellent, even if the plot itself is (intentionally) as basic as possible). Everything afterwards though is kinda crap, tbh, and all rapidly downhill from there. The second...

The biggest sin of Twilight is that the MC is kinda... bleh. The second biggest sin is that the world building is kinda silly if you think about it. Other than the marring from Bella's need to be a self-insert for disaffected middle-aged women (with tepid love lives), it's a very okay story...

There is possibly less skipping in slice-of-life, but often instead of time skips such stories operate timelessly. A good example is a sitcom where we are never given any indication how much time has passed between episodes. Even if you're doing slice-of-life, it's still important to focus on...

The solution to never having written a story in hindi is to write a story in hindi. You never wrote a story in english until you did, and there's noting stopping you from doing the same now for your native language. If you're afraid to try something new and expand your skills, then, well, you...

Wow, this is such an incredible and awe inspiring forum post. You clearly have great potential as a news writer! I loved the way you highlighted a critical issue in the world and then wrote so eloquently on the subject. By the way, if you ever need professional training as a journalist, I...
