    Recommendations Reference for Xanxia

    Make sure you match your levels and cultivation system to your moves. Western Xianxia cultivation novels are usually hilarious because they mix up different schools without world-building reasons. E.g. you have a Daoist Chan school disciple of the Lord of Primordial Beginning using moves...

    What ideas do you want to see more of in novels?

    Characters that act their age and are 30+ would be incredible. Too many gods, ancients, and reincarnators are as short-sighted and impulsive as a toddler on sugar. I wish I could revive Hemingway.

    interesting. theories on why auctioning her requires killing her: perhaps moving a soul between worlds is cheaper than using matter. besides, that way the client can choose a body to their liking. it could also be a requirement. perhaps matter cannot cross the dimensional barrier at all.

    Look, I normally don't do this.

    Your advertising is a bit early. You will have more success if you wait until after you've written ten chapters at least. I do not read romance of any kind, but even if I did, I never touch a novel with less than ten chapters.

    What would you have done?

    Stay. Just lost my job, still looking. You can keep your eyes out during the one month they gave you. As for accent, I do not know much German. Bitte, Danke, Schuldigung. Did your colleagues tell you which aspect you need to improve? Pitch? Word choice? Or certain phonemes (vowels...

    What happened next

    The rule of underdogs and unexpected(?) plot twists dictates that they should all be there to assassinate the original protagonist. BUT they do not know that their miniscule(?) changes to the timeline killed his nanny which caused him to venture out and grow prematurely. He is now...

    Writing Prompt Envy's Poem Thread

    Rant on Beauty I step through the door and see life as it thrives I wade through the sea and feel beings endure The essence of life is existence thereof The "beauty" you seek must smile down from above You walk by the flow'rs, calling goodness obscure Denying your lives and the parts you deem...

    Impotence The bottle of vodka is heavy, The world it contains is light. Sip after sip my hand's steady As it pours me a future so bright. What could have been turns to dust, Its sparkles in glazed over eyes Soon mellow the sense of disgust That marred their pure pools of bice. The world they...

    When should an OP character fail?

    OP is not perfect. The most common imperfection for genius muscular mana-rich ex-assassin doctor type characters is social incompetence. Craziness, insomnia, and PTSD are also popular. An OP doctor is not necessarily a good match for a genius strategist. Focus on your character's domain...

    Did you ever feel scared uploading your chapter

    No. Little to be scared of when no one will read it but myself. You can flashback, time travel, time skip. It's your story. If something needs telling, do not hesitate. You can always edit it later. Is this not part of the reason people publish on sites like this one? To get feedback and...

    Thoughts on sound effects (onomatopoeia)?

    It depends on the genre. I believe a good action novel needs them. But a philosophical contemporary fiction maybe not.

    Indomitable human spirit.

    I wrote some poems about fatalism. Personally, I think the concept of fate is deeply disturbing. The thought of being nothing but a thread in a larger tapestry, seeing the threads around you tangling and forming intricate patterns, only to be cut off and replaced eventually... The...

    [daily] taking out the trash

    I am unemployed since today. I went to the gym and extended my membership for six months using big chunk of my last wages, less risk that I blow it on booze this way. then I bought a lot of canned soup and some vodka and got to writing. now I wait in silence for the rage inside to subside.
