    Getting too complicated?

    Does anyone else kill their own enthusiasm for a project by making it too big before they even start it? I've been talking a lot about the superhero litrpg I want to write. Before I start writing a story, I always want to make notes, build the world, and plot out where I want the story to go. My...

    More short chapters or fewer long ones?

    As readers, what do you prefer in a webserial? One that updates more with shorter chapters, or one with longer chapters that updates less often? Say, one that updates five days a week with 500 word chapters, or once a week with a single 2000 word chapter? Or maybe somewhere in between, with two...

    What'd you get for Christmas?

    Anybody get anything cool for Christmas? My sister got me Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson and her husband gave me $50, which I used to buy Skyward Sword on Switch. I got my sister a couple outfits for this goose statue she's really excited about (which I guess is a thing?) and I got her...

    Webnovel Reader Age?

    Here's something I've been wondering. Does anyone know what the general age of webnovel readers are? Are we working more with an adult audience? Kids, teenagers?

    Heroes and Bad Heroes

    I've spent the past week or so coming up with characters for the superhero litrpg I want to write. Here are a few of them. What do you guys think? The good good guys: Archetype: he has the power to charge his body with energy. This energy enhances his physical strength, speed, stamina, etc...

    Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic (Switch)

    Of FREAKING course I would find out about this AFTER I've already spent my Christmas money! Just earlier this month, Atari released Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic on the Switch, which combines RCT 1 and 2 into a single game with 95 park scenarios (HOLY CRAP!!!) and 43 extra parks to use in Free...

    Stonefist?

    I've been driving myself insane for the past few days trying to think of a name for the MC in the superhero story I'm developing. He has the power to summon giant fists made of stone from the ground, which then mimic the movements his real hands make. The obvious answer is Stonefist, but I don't...

    Comedic or Serious?

    I'm busy making notes for a superhero litrpg I want to write in the near future, but there's one really important part that I can't decide on: should it be comedic or fully serious? The basic idea is, there's a disease going around that's giving people superpowers and driving them insane...

    How unknown is unknown enough?

    I'm struggling to come up with a name for one of the MCs in the superhero story I'm making notes for. I almost settled on Vanguard but, of course, someone's already used that. But that's a pretty obscure hero that I doubt 99% of people have ever heard of. Do you think Vanguard is an obscure...

    Core Keeper

    Being a fan of Terraria and Stardew Valley, I knew I would have to try Core Keeper as soon as people started describing it as Terraria meets Stardew Valley. I'm a little over two hours in, beat the first boss, and I'm having a really good time. It's not quite as good as either of the games that...

    Team Ico reveals new game

    Team Ico, developers of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian have just released a trailer for their next project. The working title is Project Robot, and while the trailer didn't show any gameplay, there's a lot we can infer from it. It looks like it's going to combine the fantasy...

    Reusing powers?

    I mentioned in another thread that I'm making notes for a superhero litrpg. I'm having trouble deciding what power to give the main character, though. I want it to be something flashy and fun to read about, but not so OP that it destroys any sense of tension. The power I keep coming back to that...

    Idea for litrpg

    I've been trying to come up with an idea for a litrpg that's both unique and... what's the word? Structurally sound? But I think I may have come up with one. How does this sound to you guys? A disease is spreading across the world. It's symptoms are spontaneously manifesting superpowers, and an...

    Straightforward litrpg plots?

    One thing that's stopped me from writing a litrpg is that my stories tend to be very straightforward and to the point, but when I think about RPGs I imagine things like sidequests, exploration, factions, guilds, grinding, and taking every excuse you can find to avoid the main...

    Name for people with superpowers?

    I'm making notes for a story I may or may not ever actually start. Without going into too much detail, it's about a world split between people with superpowers and people without them. The people without powers are called Nuls. I'm trying to think of a name for the people with powers too. Right...

    How to not feel bad for taking a break?

    Over the last two months, I wrote 60,000 words for IAFADJAGTIAFR?! 2. Then I jumped straight from that to writing 10,000 words for Woemaker in about two weeks. I thought I could keep riding that creative wave and power through Henry Rider 3, but I'm just so...freaking...tired. Every time I sit...

    Does anyone else struggle with happy endings?

    Something I've been becoming increasingly conscious of over the past couple years is that I struggle to write purely happy endings. One of the things I always strive for when I write a story is that I want things to feel like they're playing out naturally, and at least in my mind, writing a...

    How realistic does it have to be?

    I'm planning to start writing a pirate fantasy story soon, and there's one detail in particular that I'm worried about: I don't know very much about sailing or ships from the early 1700s (which is the time period I'm modeling my world after). I'm going to do my research so that I can at least...
