Ugh, Time travel is just something that's best to leave well enough alone. It can be done well, it can be done "good enough", but 90% of the time it'll ruin your story. It's just so, so easy to mess up.

In the defense of Danmachi, I'll say that, at least they didn't use that trope as badly as they could. I mean, it is very contrived, I'll grant you that but, I think my main gripe with it was the fact that the stone could only work on fox people. I think that I could buy everything happening...

Yes! Oh god yes. That's so damn annoying. Even when the author does his work right and you can believe the characters would hide something from each other it's still so, SO annoying. I think I once ranted for an hour straight about this to my brother. It absolutely ruins any story to me. The...

I'm pretty sure you could call Pern fantasy man. In fact, I just did a quick search and half the results said it was fantasy. The other half was a mix of science fiction and science fantasy so... Yeah... It has dragons, dragons that do magic, it's fantasy. (it's explained with sciency words...

If it involves a dragon, no matter the setting, it's fantasy. If it involves magic, it's also fantasy. If it involves something that isn't, and won't become possible with technology. That's fantasy.

As a fanfic writer, I find that there's mostly three reasons someone writes a fanfic. One, because they enjoy the world and wants to play in it. They make an SI and put themselves in the story, interacting and playing with their favorite characters. Two, they feel that the original work fell...

If you don't want to use an emulator I'd recommend Balder's Gate or A Bard's Tale. Both are old school RPG that were ported to android, with Baldur being the better one but more expensive while The Bard's tale has a lot of comedy. They're both well worth the cost, but the second one you can...

Just download an emulator and play old console games... It's much better

They're just demonic goblins. I mean, I have read some novels where the demonic beings were different, but in general 'Imps' are just the weakest form of demon, equivalent to goblins for monsters. Weak, small, red instead of green, have a tail and, sometimes, bat wings. I guess, if demons...

Well now, as I just said I have no problem with imperials. But don't be dissing the metric system like that too. I read in portuguese nearly my entire life and didn't have a problem reading things in metric. Dude, destroy culture... damn, thats harsh and I completely disagree. Brazil's culture...

Well, objectively speaking, metric system is nearly always superior because it was made to be that way, nice, easy multiples of 10. If distance and other measures are crucially important for your story, then I say to use the one most of your audience understands, if more than half your readers...

Badly, you could stretch a book into 1k chapters, but it would be terrible. What does happen is that the story itself can have 1k chapters, but it's made of various books focusing on different things and you don't even notice because of it's serialized nature. I think that the most obvious...

Sorry if there's already a thread about this, but I'm interested in the subject and there may be new opinions. How do you rate a story you read? I used to judge every aspect of a story, 5 stars was something I considered perfect, or so close to perfect it didn't mater and I only gave one 5...

Put on an Audibook and enjoy it... don't really have the time to read things anymore nowadays. Currently using the latest Salvos audibook.

Dude... did you have to show my stupidity quite so clearly? I mean... I already knew I fucked up when they said there's multiple threads about it, no need to rub my face in it

I confess, I searched the site for this information, but I'm terrible with the internet and didn't find it anywhere... it could be right there starring me in the face and I'm too stupid to notice so, if a kind sir or madam could help? A few days ago, a fanfic I'm writting got into the trending...

I quite liked the webcomic... or was it a manhwa? "The Magician" the guy was extremely powerful and legendary from the start but the plot was interesting. Well, he was not at the "Slay God" level of power, but he was an immortal mage without equal that was hunted by an entire nation.

I love reading light novels, web serials, fanfiction and all manners of stories posted on the internet, it's something that brings me joy. A major part such novels is the use of cliffhangers to keep the reader's attention, most of the time it's fine, something to keep my interest in the story...

Currently using my phone, I find it terrible, I'm not very tech savy and the autocorrect function often changes things I don't meant to write. I also hate the small screen where I can't really see my mistakes all that well to fix them. To be short, I REALLY dislike using my phone but, since my...

Well, luck really is part of the equation. I have read so many stories I consider crap, but that have achieved success because they were lucky, for some reason people decided to read it and it attracted the atention of just the right people to grow. On the other hand, there is a lot of skill...
