    My target is the Japanase LN readers. Is it good to use "telling" more often rather than "showing"?

    It's the fiction equivalent of tiktok or youtube short videos, for people who are distracted or tired or self-soothing. While on break and so on. And who haven't committed to a longform piece.

    Writing Prompt Cyberpunk from a Russians perspective

    > What I mean is, if the Soviet Union is communistic and its companies state owned, then it wouldn't be weird for that country to be sanctioned and thus lack resources, tech or knowledge that isn't domestically available and harder to get from the International market.
