    30 days challenge. Learning how to draw as an abosulte beginner

    Hello! Ever since I was about 12, I wanted to start drawing, but for some reason I never went through with it. I wasn’t good in art class and even had to switch courses because I was so bad. Today I decided I’m finally going to do it. For the next four weeks, or until January 1st, 2026, I’m...

    getting away from the "not possible" mindset in fantasy(as a writer)

    I’ve got a big problem. I’m having a hard time creating a proper power system because my dumbass brain always wants an explanation for everything. It’s so strange, since I’ve devoured countless fantasy books (even xianxia) and never cared about logic or the mechanics behind them, but when it...

    what are the right tag(s) for my story

    Sup, hello, good evening. I’m about to release my novel, and I’m unsure what kind of tags are appropriate. My world is completely fantasy (in the sense that it’s not Earth), but there’s no real “deeper” magic. Dragons and similar beasts exist, but they’re more like dinosaurs than...

    Can a story end with mysteries not cleared up

    Lets say the world transforms into a game-like world. Lets take the classic system apocalypse as an example. Some unknown being created said system. Does the mc needs to know who/why did it by the end of the story, or can it just left be ambiguous.(similair to Everyone is a Returnee)

    Do you mind real life physics when you create a "fantasy" world

    Question as in the title. For example, a cold region. Or a sunny dessert. Do you just place it wherever you want, or do you use real life physics there?

    Why do no hidden genre movies/streams exist

    Not gonna lie, that would be such a dope idea, especially for horror movies. In most cases, I don't even get attached to characters, because I know they're gonna die. Edit: Movie theaters or streaming websites let you blacklist genres you absolutely don’t like, and then give you a random movie...

    Its not LitRPG, how to call it.

    Basically, my story is set in a game-like world where people can see their status. They can receive quests and skills but can't level up. They don't have a 'health stat' either, but something called Blood Qi, which is basically their vitality. There are no 'hit points'. The power system is...

    How do you explain "magic"?

    I might be a fucking idiot, but I always have a hard time explaining creating something out of nothing. Like, just casting a spell and bam, a fireball appears. I once watched an anime where the main character needed to know what the spell was composed of, and as a reincarnator from Earth, he...

    Requesting tips for cultivation system

    I've always loved the xianxia cultivation genre and have wanted to write my own story. Unfortunately, I tend to overthink things. I'm not satisfied if something isn't properly explained or doesn't make sense to me. Because of this, I struggle to differentiate between Law Integration and normal...

    Revenge Regression Stories make no sense

    Travelling back in time, just to beat up a 5 year olds kiddies and raise a fucking LI. On a serious note, it makes no sense as a new timeline opens the moment the mc regresses. The true antagonist still exist in the original timeline, and will live their live. MC takes revenge on someone who...

    Overstimation or just sheer dumbness?

    Binging through thousands of novels, I noticed a very common pattern. Authors tend to overestimate themselves. "Read until chapter blah blah, from there it is very unique." "Epic battles and unique enemies." "Give the first 50 chapters a chance, I guarantee you will love it." Bla bla bla...

    The smile won't fade

    I just finished editing the first part of my first chapter, and decided to let it run though an AI checker. It was just around 650 words, but I'm proud. (the text shown in the photo is just a part...)

    Who rates all the new stories 5star?

    Something I see all the time, but who the fuck has the time to rate them all 5 stars? Do we have a bot for this?

    Need help(Powersystem)

    Yo. I need help.... I'm currently planning a 'low' fantasy Isekai where the power system is about manipulating existing particles. Basically, there are fire, ice, and other particles in the atmosphere, and people can form them into 'spells' using Mana or Spiritual Energy. Now, I'm wondering...

    What even is "bad grammar"

    As a non-native English speaker, I often ask myself what viewers mean by 'bad' grammar. Can someone give me an example? Is it beyond the right word choice and spelling? It's always hard to judge if my grammar is good or not if I don't know what people base grammar quality on.

    Using IRL Companies

    I'm currently planning an urban slice-of-life novel and am curious if someone could sue the shit out of me if I use their company. Context: I don't plan to let any of them be viewed in a sinister way, but more integrated into daily life. Like, using an iPhone, driving a Porsche, wearing, I...

    Where do you cross the line with "insperation"

    Just as the title says. How far do you think an author can go before one could accuse him of plagarism?
