    DAE not like self-insets usually?

    (DAE= Does anyone else) I notice in a lot of novels and webcomics, the protagonist is a self insert. I dislike this 99% of the time since the protagonist (in my opinion) is usually boring and perfect in every way (except some quirky fault like being clumsy).. Bonus points if it’s a harem power...

    Is there a tag/genre that you do not want to read anymore?

    I to this day have zero idea why the Isekai genre is filled with so many uninspired and generic stories lol. It seems like most of them take place in Dragon Quest land with some harem..

    What you hate?

    Generic protagonists that were clearly created as a self-insert, justifying the story’s power fantasy and haram

    I want to write, but i cant think of a "direction."

    Pretty sure a lot of people are or have been in this stage. A lot of people recommend the ‘asking question’ and ‘paragraph’ format to novels which is a very used and common way to format. I highly suggest for you to write all of your info on something other than free-style it. People can tell...

    I'm participating in a contest, could you tell me how my story is going?

    Overall quite a strong first chapter. It’s concise yet engaging and detailed. Nothing feels like it goes on too long or too short—just the perfect length and pacing—. Very good grammar and the usage of “lol” is funny. I will say that when the characters speak, you should use quotation marks...

    Need feedback on my new story please

    I’m not going to lie the chapter 1 intro was 10x better than I thought it would be. I was fully hooked by the immense detail and fluid retelling. Jotun felt unimaginably powerful and bigger than life itself. A true foe that strikes fear so heavy in the hearts of mortals that they sink to the...

    Here is the basic outline of my story. Thoughts and criticisms?

    Sci-fi always has too much jargon I will admit I definitely didn't explain most of my terms in this thread so I apologize for that. I’m a native english speaker so italian and latin words aren’t that hard for me to understand or get an idea of what it’s saying. However, for most people they...

    Here is the basic outline of my story. Thoughts and criticisms?

    The story synopsis is more like the synopsis of arc 1.. Beyind that, I uh think I know what the story is about.. I didn’t want to put my later arcs (or essentially mega chapters) in which is why my story seems extremely short and vague. I probably won’t give that detail out until I’m serializing...

    Bunch of questions about your power system

    1. The more powerful character has the higher level. If both are the same level, then they’re equal in power level but typically have different stats and classes’. 2. Pretty rigid, each character have 4 skills and 1 technique. They can’t be changed (not in combat) are for the most part, are the...

    Do you guys have a favorite character to write?

    I’m obsessed with using mbti for my characters (alongside enneagram) lol. For the most part, I can enjoy writing any character that isn’t generic or falls under the everyman troop. In my current novel, my protagonist is an Estp who fights with an electric yo-yo so I like writing her. So true

    How much is too much?

    I wouldn’t say it’s too much but I would suggest some formatting edits. Particularly applying consistent spacing to the novel.
