this newbie author was acting quite arrogant, proclaiming how she is the best author and how she is here to earn the big money and the only thing holding her back is the fact that the readers of this site are idiots who rather read generic isekai filled with fan service rather than true literature

Assuming you are correct, that this person is as arrogant as you say they are, I wouldn't bother engaging with them ?. Unless you know them on a personal level.

Reality will speak for itself ?. If they are "the best author" then reality will reward their arrogance. If not, then their attitude will make them crash hard.

The best way to deal with arrogance is ignorance ?. Just ignore them.

I wouldn't classify myself as a good author but to be so self absorbed that you believe yourself superior to others is just wrong. Just based on that information alone I'm sure that they are an egocentric piece of shit who is a terrible writer to boot.
Yeah? That probably describes a high% of published authors, not to mention professional athletes, actors, or any career path. Think Chefs...they have to think they are the best. There is a rating system and everything!

So, this newbie author was acting quite arrogant, proclaiming how she is the best author and how she is here to earn the big money and the only thing holding her back is the fact that the readers of this site are idiots who rather read generic isekai filled with fan service rather than true literature.

I told her that she still has places to improve and that there are many famous authors who are better than her, so she challenged me to name even a single one who could be better than her.


So, here we are. If you are an author, no matter what kind, till the time you speak English and have the title author, write down your name below for me to show her
Im a newbie author, but even I know not to be that arrogant :sweating_profusely:

No, I actually don't think so. Sure, they can chant, "I am the best!" in bathroom to hype themselves up, might even say this during interviews for some of that controversy juice, but I believe they never underestimate their rivals, or anyone on the opposite team. But most of the time, their mentality is to just do their best and ignore others

I can't be sure about authors but knowing athletes and chefs...there are definitely those that think they are the best. So I would assume it is the same in any skill based activity. Like playing poker or whatever. They even talk about it in interviews in sports about believing they are the best that they "have to" to get where they are near the top. Even if maybe there are some who may actually be better. No?

I remember when I had that huge ego. I remember writing the first ever story I ever wrote for public viewing on StoryFire and I thought that I alone would bring the site up to new levels with my knowledge on storytelling. Long story short, StoryFire's dead, and I'm moving on with a better understanding about how to write. Now, I think I'm better than beginner writers, but I'm kind of just average.

What this describes it the good ole' Dunning Kruger Effect where someone with little expertise in a subject thinks they know more than a professional studying for years. I have confidence in my ability to write, but I'm absolutely not perfect.

The best human author perhaps, but this dinosaur can handle her arse in silver plate any day.

I think agentt should direct them to the who's-arrogant-when-they-first-came-here thread...cause this newbiew writer don't sound like they are the only ones who started off all high and mighty before getting humbled.

Unfortunately, she considers forums to be a waste of time and is never here.
especially not money
Ah, we are a bit late for that
