I would combine aura (/ki/qi/etc) and stamina - they both are used for doing physical feats. Mana is more likely a mental thing, too different

Most urban fantasies take place within the confines of a single city, perhaps a bit of the surroundings. Unless the city itself is divided somehow, like post WW2 Berlin, then the divided nation bit would just come off as a bit of background, likely signalling an enemy faction within the...

Define "good" No, seriously. Define what you think is "good" because smut can be well written, and there's a ton of novels out there with zero smut that aren't good. There is a problem where finding a story you enjoy amongst so many options you don't enjoy, but that is a problem independent...

Oh my. One thing you will learn very fast about alignment. Very few can agree on any kind of details, and arguments about it go crazy fast. The thing about alignment is that it's super simple and reflects a world of hard, objective good and evil. Which .... Is not really reflected well when...

Most authors just wing their system. Which is fine. Usually copied from some variation of D&D or its clones (which includes many fantasy video games). Ultimately, stats and skills are just ways of making numbers go up. And numbers going up is nice because they're a visual, instant way to see...

Upon wrongfully dying, the Powers That Be offer you a chance to be transmigrated into a new world. One of swords and sorcery. Upon being granted a single boon to make your way in this new life, you choose to be a magical progeny. You make your appearance, and the world doesn't look fondly upon...

Got to agree with Twin. Shakespeare was writing for the stage. Plays are fundamentally different from novels and movie scripts, and require different way of speaking and interacting with others or the environment. Plus, you have to take into account the time period- this was before television...

The difficulty matters less to me than an enjoyable experience. Good story, good graphics, good music, good game play. If its hard as hell, but they made it so that its a FUN time overcoming the challenge, I enjoy it. If its more of a grind, then I hate it.

I before E; except when your foreign neighbor Keith receives eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters. Weird.

My favorite is swears like "Damn it!" in a setting with reincarnation. Like, you can't damn a soul that's not going to hell.

I once read something that said that writers block was just you getting in the way of yourself. Too much trying to find the perfect script, too much feeling negative of your own work. Best way is to just write. I pull out tarot cards, do a reading, and write whatever the cards tell me is...

Sometimes, the writers are transgender as well. Or at least trans-curious. Othertimes, its a genre they enjoy to read. Ultimately, though, it comes down to "they enjoy it" or "they feel their target audience would enjoy the story more with it."

make dying a plot point. like, you need to get some info from the underworld. kill killyourself, have her bring ya back. your search is on a timer.

I'm not sure what is being asked here? Are you asking if people want you to post you dnd games to read? Or use the dnd system as a litrpg? Something else? Like, the advice is different depending on what is wanted...

Isn't the whole point of the MILF to be a hot, mature woman? Why say "like 20" but then suggest someone who looks 10? Honestly, why are you suggesting so much creepy age 12-14 pregnancies? That's either rape or grooming, both creepy as fuck. Rape should never get an honorable mention. The...

Depth. Character depth. Nothing is worse than a villain that's too dumb and shallow to do much than idiotic moves to make the main character look good.

From a legal standpoint (because I studied law for my state in school, so that's my go to)The burgler's. Even if you, the home owner, stabbed the burgler, its the burgler's fault. They brought a lethal weapon into play, ergo they are the ones who brought the potential for lethal harm into the...

long hair is definitely sexier. It is, however, a right pain in the @#$%. Short hair is omg so much easier to deal with. And saves so much time during the day, and less stress.

Practice. Nothing else. speed comes from getting used to doing something. Hopefully used to doing it correctly.

Obviously its the story I write for myself. Nevermind all the glaring flaws I constently find. Or how I wake up every morning and hate everything I wrote the night before
