  1. Hardest: Writing battle scenes and how do I make another next battle keep interesting?
  2. Heaviest: Writing tragedy for tearjerker, which I think somehow pulled it off
  3. Easiest: Writing nonsense, no cap.
  4. Lightest: Writing slice of life~

Hardest- Remembering to write down important plot points and or Character Middle/Last Names
Heaviest- Trauma dumping and it's effects on the human psyche.
Easiest- Depicting moments of romantic entanglement.
Lightest- Sarcastic banter and Arguments between two people who obviously love each other.

  1. Hardest: Bridging from one good idea into the next. Avoiding sudden jumps and time skips. Interludes between adventures sometimes do not help.
  2. Heaviest: Coming up with mooks since a lot of the usual RPG fare are now "People" i.e. orcs, goblins, ogres, are the Tom, Dick, and Harry of this setting.
  3. Easiest: Writing epic battle scenes. I play action games, I watch fight scenes, combo videos, no-damage playthroughs, etc. Yesterday I watched an old video of Daigo Umehara play SF2 Boxer as if the guy wasn't a charge character due to how intense his pressure is. I draw from these awe-inspiring plays.
  4. Lightest: World-building. It's an Isekai, customs that seem alien is the expected norm, so twisting unexpected things is quite easy. One time I wrote about two fluffy cat-people (i.e. bipedal man-sized cats, not cat-ear humans) enjoying a leisurely lunch at a streetside restaurant run by an orc auntie and making up a "valley themed" cuisine i.e. what can one grow in a fertile valley that would be delicious. I came up with goat stew with a picked vegetable side dish. Next was a "Shepherd's meal" i.e. what would a herder have for lunch without walking too far from his herd? I came up with flatbread rolled around smoked meat, fresh cheese, herbs, and pickled vegetables. Stuff a herder without refrigeration could passively generate while being away from home (smoking, pickling) and take with him before setting out.
