    Comedic or Serious?

    I was thinking more along the lines of One Piece. Funny when it can be, serious when it has to be.

    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...

    I wrote about 420 words of Henry Rider today. Not too impressive, but at least I managed to get the chapter finished.

    Daily Word Count Thread

    I wrote about 200 words in Henry Rider today. Leave me alone, I'm still in my self-care stage after banging out a whole novella in two months. ?

    First Person Or Third Person?

    It depends on the story for me. First person is good if it's a very introspective story. Since you're literally inside the main character's head, it's only natural that a good deal of the narration would consist of their innermost thoughts. I doubt Henry Rider would work as well if it were in...

    Name one thing that never fails to make you cry

    Christmas stories. Yes, I made myself cry multiple times while I was writing and editing IAFADJAGTIAFR?!.

    Core Keeper

    It's got the same goal as Terraria: equip yourself so you can find and kill all the bosses.

    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?

    They don't get new powers, but they can "level up" (not the term used in the story) to make their power stronger and unlock new abilities that stem from their base power set.

    Worst antagonist archetypes?

    I hate it when the story acts like the villain is coming from a relatable, sympathetic place, when they're actually just raving like lunatics. Like... (SPOILERS FOR PERSONA 4) ...Adachi. "I'm not reeeeeally a bad guy! The world just sucks and everyone will be better off when they're dead!" It's...

    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...

    Synopsis Don'ts

    Just make it a list of things that happen in the story. Even if that's all a synopsis technically is, you have to treat it like any other part of your book, and actually make it fun to read. Use colorful language, introduce questions and mysteries that only reading the book will answer. Don't...
