Out of all the antagonists in your novel(s), which is your favorite? Mine is the one-sided rival of my Mc, who constantly overestimates and misinterprets her and the things she does. Like the Mc almost killed a guy in a match in such a casual way that the rival saw it as ruthless, calculating...

I’m trying to think of a decent color for my MC but I don’t got anything definitive so far, so please help me… For reference, my MC is short, with a scrawny physique, and tends to dress in comfortable clothing. She also has bed hair in a blood red color and creepy eyes that make her look tired.

Whenever someone has some sort of title or moniker it dignifies them as some sort of big shot, usually. Unlike the natives of the world, my MC, having been summoned, finds most titles to be cringe and embarrassing, she hates her titles because they make her sound evil and/or are just edgy. I’d...

It’s less that I think it’s impossible more so that doing that, even short term, is exhausting and would lead to me burning myself out in some way. Having to think about geniuses and the smart things they would do over the smart things normal people would do as well as how to account for them...

I specifically mean intelligent geniuses with over 200 IQ, I honestly really can’t bring myself to write them. Characters can only be as smart as the author, so unless I write all other characters as varying degrees of idiotic, it’s impossible for me. Though I guess it can be done, doing...

I’m wondering, whether it be world domination or defeating the bbeg, if you guys could take over your verse with the shittiest powers in it. And I don’t mean JP LN “shitty” where they’re only trash on the surface level, I mean they’re actually bad and you need to be creative with them to do...

I’m playing with the concept of Ego weapons, basically just weapons with living consciousnesses, though I’m wondering how far I should go with it. Like, should weapons be able to speak and possess complex thoughts? Or should they just have basic feelings which they communicate to their user? Or...

Making two separate rankings does sound more reasonable than trying to mix two fundamentally different power systems together, now that you mention it. Though its not necessarily mages>fighters, more so mages having cooler powers with more variety while fighters are more practical in combat. I...

I'm trying to decide whether I want to leave the power ranking of my story clearly defined with ranks, or more vague and loosely defined with things like novice, average, elite, and the pinnacle with characters being stated to be somewhere within those classifications. And if I do land on...

As long as you're not repetitive with it, you'll be fine.

I'm having a conundrum. I'm not sure where to draw the limits on how strong and how complex I want to be with powers in my story. I feel if I make the powers too simple that aspect of my story will stay generic and forgettable while if I make things too complex things will get too complicated...

Depending on how I’m Isekai’d I could either end up as vessel for half of the universe to incarnate itself in (A bad thing), a pawn for immature celestial beings, or get body dysmorphia. I don’t even wanna think about if any knew I’m the author.

I’ve finally finished up my ridiculously long summer work in the last two weeks of summer (procrastinating is my enemy), and now it’s time to submit it. The problem comes with citations. Since I was rushing like crazy, aside from writing page numbers on the side, I didn’t take citations into...

I have an issue with phone usage I want to fix, I'm on it way too much, to the point that I'm distracted from my summer work. I left it at a cousin's house to focus and it worked, but not having a way to contact me is problem for my family so I can't do it again and I'm getting distracted like I...

My MC has sleepy, sort of creepy, looking eyes, so regardless of how much sleep she gets she perpetually looks tired.
