One thing I most face trouble while writing is about writing multiple characters.

Giving their own unique aspects and capabilities.

But the most troubling is how to make the conversation of each them different from the other.

Whenever I write a dialogue of a character.

I feel like, did I write it correctly or I broke the characters personality.

Because of this problem I just can't continue to write the next chapter.

Can anyone read the novel"Introvert fell into a novel as a simp"

And tells me If the characters are different from the other because I felt all are same.

Maybe this is a paranoid of me, but it is just a feeling of mine I can't clarify it.

I don't thinking my novel is a decent one. But I hope it was just somehow little good.

In short, I hope someone gives me a review, how it is and how the characters are.

Iam sorry for making you guys reading this long paragraph.

It just a paranoia of me to write this long.

And thanks if you replied to me.☺️

I have problem with that too and someone tell me to try to make a questionnaire for each of my character (which I didn't do but that a good idea). Doing it can help you see how your character react to different type of question. You can make a specific files for each character, include this questionnaire as well as their personality, their dream, what they dislike, etc

Hmmm, it is possible. But how about the conversation as it is the most difficult part to continue for me.

I want it to be a natural conversation a person has with another person.

Not like a forced conversation.

The questionnaire can help in that way, since you already have asked your character different type of question, you can see how they will answer in most case.

The way I differentiate my character dialogues is by adding different quirks to the way they speak. Examples include short sentences for the quiet person, stuttering if they are nervous, dialect if you want to jump down that rabbit hole. Heck I even had one chacter refer to herself in third person in my old book.

I also do this. But there is a feeling in me . That I might be doing something that is breaking my character personality

Quite the same, but the character I created was emotionless at the beginning and now has emotion. Just excuse it as "Character Development"

Being a DM gives me a lot of experience in making different and unique character, even if they end up being guard #1452

I don't know how to explain it, making unique characters just come natural for me.

Sigh. Somehow chinese webnovels never had this problem
Its as easy for breathing for them, strangely.

Handing the folded paper to Feng, Yan stood up and walked to his side, lowered his head and said in his ear:

"I need you to take a rest tomorrow, go outside, and deliver the intelligence and information contained in this piece of paper to the bounty club. Remember to disguise yourself so that no one knows where you are from."

The Bounty Club not only undertakes various assassination missions, but also buys information. As long as you have information that can be sold for money, you can sell it here.

The other party will not ask you for your source of information, nor will they care who you are, as long as the information is true.

Of course, in order to make money, these rats with no bottom line will sell information to everyone.

"yes."

He calmly took the folded paper and placed it close to his body. Feng turned around and left, as if nothing had happened in the office.

"This guy."

Looking at the other person's back, Yan started to have a headache again.



The atmosphere in the Hokage's office seemed a bit depressing. The Third Hokage said to Danzo calmly:

"I have asked the Anbu to send your people back. After their confessions, they were ordered to invite Uchihahiko, but the other party was unwilling. When they wanted to take action, Uchihahiko attacked the police captain with an unknown identity. Arrested on charges."

"Then he was sent to prison overnight."

"Damn it, Uchiha Hiko, this evil Uchiha brat! He has the audacity to scold me!!!"

It was embarrassing enough. We couldn't hide this kind of thing, and Danzo didn't decide to hide it. He said it directly in front of the Third Hokage, Koharu and Mito Kaden.

"It's just audacious."

The two elders and advisors found it incredible when they heard this. When did the Uchiha people become so bold as to abuse the village senior officials in front of their faces?

Although he didn't name him by name.

Why are we just resting at home for a few days and Uchiha is busy with so many things?

What's going on with this kid named Uchiha Hiko?

The Third Hokage also felt that Yan was a bit bold, but he grasped the point.

"Danzo, are you going to the police department to ask for someone?"

Good guy, you are afraid that others will not know that the person you sent is unknown and attacked the police chief, right?

If you don't go, the village won't acknowledge it, and the matter will pass over time. But if you run over there in person, it's just mud falling down your crotch, and no one will believe it if it's not shit.

"Duanzo, are you so confused? How can you go and ask for someone in person?"

After going to bed, Xiaochun also came back to his senses.

You shouldn't personally come forward to deal with this kind of matter, just send someone to solve it directly.

As a result, you ran right over.

Mito Menyan smiled helplessly:

"Now the charges are confirmed. The charges that have been announced are already doubtful. If you go to ask for someone, it will be your problem."

"Could it be that I can't take care of my people when they are arrested? Who gave them the courage!!!"

Isn't Danzo aware of these factors?

Definitely know.

The problem is knowing that he doesn't care either.




Fugaku nodded with a dark face, Fugaku couldn't care about that much.

"Send the injured to the medical department, and bring all those with minor injuries back to the police department for investigation. The matter must be investigated to the bottom of the matter."

"Yes, Minister!"

A large number of people from the police department continued to provide reinforcements, and everyone at the scene was taken away. Many of them were still clamoring for the police department to look good, to complain, and so on.

Such a serious fight in the commercial street directly alarmed the Third Hokage.

At this time, he was busy solving the problems in Daming Mansion and cleaning up the negative impact on the village, but this happened.

As soon as he returned to the police department, before he could be interrogated, Yan received a notice from Fugaku. The police chief and team leader all went to the Hokage's office building for a meeting.

This matter cannot be solved so easily, and the police department may be severely criticized.

Fugaku was in a bad mood, and the other team captains were not much better either.

Everyone knew what would be waiting for them when they arrived at the Hokage's office building.

In the Hokage's office, the third Hokage looked very unhappy.

Next to me, Koharu and Mito Monobu, who were sleeping next to me, were also about the same.

Fugaku reported today's events in detail:

"Hokage-sama, when the incident happened, the police team rushed to the scene immediately to control the situation. The other party seemed to have premeditated and besieged the people of the police department."

"Fugaku, the impact of today's incident is very bad."

In fact, she wanted to find a secluded corner to sit down and observe, but there were no customers in the restaurant, so she walked to the long table in front of the open kitchen and sat on a high stool.

"Welcome to Qingyunzhai, my surname is Lu, just call me Boss Lu.

What do you want to eat today? "

Lu Qingci raised his head, his dark purple eyes reflecting the warm golden light, full of a soft smile.

The other party's attitude is very gentle. He will not be as flattering as an ordinary shop owner, nor will he be complimentary like a big restaurant owner.

"Hello boss, my name is Keqing. It's my first time coming to Qingyunzhai. Do you have any recommended dishes?"

A soft but sharp voice sounded, and Lu Qingci suddenly understood why some people would go out of their way to help as soon as they were spoken to by a soft girl.

that works but it can be too exaggerated and too cliche

I still do it though

It may be helpful in dialogue to figure out what each character's end goal is during any conversation/interaction. What angle are they taking?
This can help give that character their voice while also helping a conversation have direction and meaning.

It is not they were born it. But experience did it.

Its just that, their focus on webnovels
is like the fusion of western focus of : videogames + sports + mangas + tv shows + movie interest
condensed : reading (writing) webnovels
+ the fact, that internet was cheap

Simply because their main hobby was only that
Even jp can't rival that.

-----
In another analogy, its like a country focus on agriculture-army-art
and another that focus on army only
for decades

So of course someone that grew in the army country will be strong, as from childhood he watched others kill people and train.
Compared to a country that send to army at 18y old.
-----------------
If jp, you got probably 30% of getting a random guy hobby being "reading WN"
then its 93% for nowadays chinese kids or in fact 100% if they are allowed multiple answers. There is now no teen in china that have never read at least once a WN.
Compared if you ask in western, you will often get someone reply "i dont like reading long text". Heck even going to discord, its easy to find one

This salarymen were teens before they were salarymen.
Its the conditions of living that caused all young/mid chineses to know about WNs.

But yes you are right.

Speaking of.
Its like nowadays jp salarymen know about animes.

Not all you see in anime or what you read are reality. While the manga and anime are thing there, a lot of professional industrie find it childish and except the big famous one like one piece who are everywhere the older generation (30+) don't really care about it.

I do a thing where I take a part of someone I know that actually exists, like an interaction I or someone else had with them. Then I take a part of somebody else and put it into that character. If I feel like it, I do that again. Sometimes I even just base a scene on a real life experience, with a few adjustments to fit the story.

Then you just build up from there, how would this imaginary person you daydreamed about, who's a mix of so and so, react to X situation?

Not sure if you can do the thing like I do the thing, but if you can it will make things easier




Edit: Buddy, I tried to read your first chapter. I couldn't. Rather than focusing on dialogue, you should go over your narration and make more interesting plot hooks.

For example, the narration is first-person, but it reads like a third person narration. Very little of the character's thoughts are actually involved. And most dialogues are overshadowed by the narration outright telling us the intentions of a character. Also, if I encountered your novel out in the wild I would have clicked out the moment the protagonist woke up and went to class (it lasts for a few thousand words!), it's an uninteresting start.

That's just my two cents as a reader :3, don't be discouraged. Just write what seems fun, and not what pads out the chapters.

Sigh

what i mean
in china in 2010ish

they got crappy movies, movie full of crap actor idols, or with old directors that go artistic route but blame spectators when its crap, and no funding for big productions as its "too risky"
destroyed game industry thx to TENCENT that steal all ideas from indies
manhua with crappy artists
sports is instinctively dislike by asians
football, any chinese gave up hope for national team that it became common knowledge/sense

To make TLDR short : IN CHINA, THERE WERE JACKSHIT TO DO BESIDE READING WEBNOVELS FOR FREE
that is why all young people in china now know about WNs
