I made a poll before about writing a story based on a title. Got some good suggestions and feedback. I’m considering the poll as having ended early. The results of the poll were… • I Killed The __ • The Academy’s __ • __ In A Xianxia World. All three of the above had the same high votes. If...

I want to challenge myself by creating something out of nothing despite leaning towards the midpoint between Architect and Gardener (I basically alter my pre-prepared plan if I like certain beats while writing). To simplify it: This is my version of relaxing. Which is writing a story that...

Imagine you had ‘Insect Mimicry’. This allows you to copy an ability (but not the appearance) of two bugs. For example: If you mimic a mantis, you will somehow had blades on your arms, but not the exact mantis sickles of the insect itself. Which two insects would you choose to mimic and how...

I’ve been writing for a while and have always had this question. Those who religiously follow trends tend to have some level of success with their works (even if it’s minimal). While trend setters that defy those rules usually have a good grasp of their own narrative. What they want to do. I...

…I hate it when novels borrow a little TOO MUCH from RPGs. Especially when the novel adds in an obligatory fetch quest about grabbing something, then revisiting where you went before to give it to some guy to obtain quest rewards. Why does this even exist…? There are games that try to pull you...

I’ve tried writing a Light Novel once and the structure was the easiest for me to plan and express characters within. Even better than when I’m trying to hit a word count everyday. The only problem is that most Webnovel sites work on consistency with updates and not chapter length. It doesn’t...

I am at a junction where I muse decide to destroy characters and feed the essence of their arcs into more important characters… or just leave them be because they will work out. I had this thing planned out in ‘Talentless Hero: The Chosen Hero Is Disqualified’ where a knockoff Ruby Rose from...

I feel like writing Erotica sometimes but then feel embarrassed. Not about the story, but about what tf am I doing when I could be working on my more normal action fantasy story. I am able to write in the short term and make nice chapters filled with character despite it being ero, but then I...

https://www.scribblehub.com/series/894237/talentless-hero-the-chosen-hero-is-unqualified/ I was starting my Magic Academy story with an apocalyptic event happening in a different city. Just wanted to know whether I should make it short, fairly long, or simply as long as it needs. Was...

I’ve written up to chapter 22 plus the Prologue of ‘Talentless Hero: The Chosen Hero Is Unqualified’ and wanted some feedback since the most I got is a 5 Star rating and a 1 Star rating without comments or any sort of reaction. The most being that some of the art I included (like the MC’s...

I’ve heard some people saying that one should plot backwards from the end of a story. I have the beginning of my story and the end plotted out, but I’m unsure of how to construct a bridge to each goal post. There are five arcs in total I’m planning and the first is in a Magic Academy setting...

I’ve got this story which has the main theme of existentialism, exploring it through essence vs existence. The sequel is a standard epic fantasy with a fallen hero as the secondary main villain. He wants to change the world where everyone is forced to take ‘Jobs’ in an RPG World. By doing so he...

By normal I mean one that has a clear goal and purpose. One that reading it makes you feel the intent of the author and the message being passed through characters merely existing. I myself find this difficult. A fellow writer and friend praises my ingenuity in being able to bring out ‘new...

I’ve been thinking that non-human protagonists and fun journeys have been quite popular. Skeletons especially. Whether they are an undead or skeleton, there seems to be a sort of intrigue when you’re stripped of your identity and given a mystery to solve. Like who summoned you and where you...

I intend this to be a critique and poll regarding something I’d overcome recently. A corner of my mind always asked me why the dark storylines written by newer writers succeed more than those who had been writing for some time. Not the difference between amateur and veteran writers, but just...

Doing a poll about whether to make my story all about and in an Academy, or make it general life instead. Honestly, Academy life is easier for people to write simply because you can say all their time offscreen is doing studies. Because regardless of who they are they gotta still have their own...

I got two ideas to start my novel but I’m unsure whether to go with ‘Reader who knows the future’ or ‘Regressor who wants to save someone’. The second seems more cliché than the first one, so I’m unsure which one to go by. I liked Omniscient Reader, but I’m pretty sure the story can be written...

The context for the title is that I need to burn down all these ideas I’ve collected over time in my GoogleDocs into something that works. I have been trying to create a novel that can act as a prequel to another but get writing blocks. There’s always this same character backgrounds and stuff...

I started off and even now tend to write cool scenes from works I like… but realise now that even though I can recreate scenes, I can’t come to truly appreciate my own work like others. Even though I put so much effort and attention to detail crafting scenes, how can I hate or feel so...
