I recommend reading Enlightened Empire. It's on SH but I'm pretty sure all the chapters are available on RR. The style and the way the world is represented is, if not, one of the best for a kingdom-building and industrialization story.

My advice might be what others have alluded to already by I'll just give it anyways. I'm 100% a pantser. I don't have time nor do I care about planning my arcs. The most I ever plan is 5 chapters ahead with a single sentence to get the gist of what I'll be writing towards. And I used to write...

Well the novel I usually read that got me started on my piece is called Tales of The Reincarnated Lord. It's based on the Early Modern Era and deals with the things you described (if I remember right). But it stopped because of political pressure, though there are a lot of chapters and I enjoyed...

I've got no clue what you guys are talking about because—get this—I've got five stars on my webnovel!!! Watch me get spammed with one star ratings. Jokes aside, the ratings I've recieved feel pretty forced. It's like people gave me a five star rating because of something unrelated to my actual...

Couldn't have said it better than I. Where else in the universe would there be a War to End All Wars, followed by another War that ended up being worse and that led to a moment of... relative peace? That has lasted more than 70 revolutions around the Sun? Disgusting I say! Disgusting! Sounds...

Reading your blurb, it seems interesting to me, especially if you're character is looking at stopping 9/11. But really it's the genre. Since you're thinking about the story being short it would make for a nice, emotional, dramatic tale, especially if there is politics involved. That's how I see...

Suffering and a struggle.

Time to get banned from entering China! ### "Shit!" Zhou kept tapping the floor without any sign of stopping. His suit felt wrinkled. His eyes wandered the vast map of the city of Wuhan on a monitor. There in the central park were the hospitals the central government had set up a few days ago...

I agree with this. Revenge can make for great character exposition and motivation if it also reveals how an individual sees the World or if the act/process of revenge is also tied to a character's inner struggle, values and arc (Like Hamlet in Shakespeare who has to struggle with taking revenge...

I mean, I can strive to improve with you but I haven't invested points into critiquing :sweating_profusely:

No! Not the Gulags Comrade! Jokes aside, there has to be a reform of the Paradox forums. The moderators are paid by Paradox and so that just makes them ban anything that's critical of the company. I've just read a reddit post talking about how the guy got banned for criticizing Paradox's move...

Honestly, you're right. I only ever buy the important DLCs when it's on sale but at the same time it's understandable. They've catered to a niche market of players for the past 20 years. They've been putting out DLC , improving the gaming engine, making the games easier to get a new generation...
