    How to write interesting MAGIC systems

    I like a magic system entwined with science. My ideas for such a thing were the reason I wrote my first story. It's been a good guide for me and generally fits the aspects that make a good magic system. Science has its limitations, as well as huge amounts of room for powerful developments. It...

    How popular was your work when you first published it?

    The three I actually worked on did alright in the beginning. I put out chapters pretty fast for them and my second two already gave me a good following that brought in some views. Hard to give exact numbers but all I can say is that the only thing that matters is consistency. Keep posting...

    My idea for a Magic System.

    Seems pretty standard. Nothing revolutionary but there are clear limitations which is good. However, at least in this description, you don't have what I like to call a fundamental source. There's essence, and the surrounding aether of magic that's attracted to living things. But at least when I...

    Why do you read?

    Warrior Cats was my shit back in middle school. I just loved cats so I found that book and the rest was history.

    Your handwriting

    Mine is heinous because I'm too twitchy and apply too much strength as I try to write faster than I can keep up with so everything is a scribbled mess. That's why I always type instead.

    So How Do Normal People Make Friends?

    A true guy's friend group is 90% shitpost-worthy conversations and 10% ultra deep philosophical discussions. And you mess with each other all the time, but at the end of the day when things really come down to it, each one would die for the other. A girl's friend group? I don't even wanna think...

    So did you know TenderHuman has been kidnapped?

    Wait, so what do you do when you burn them? And what was it like getting covered in chocolate, for you who hates it so much?

    Balancing Between Story Structure and Word Counts/Length

    Yea, you shouldn't really worry about chapter lengths. I have a typical length between 2.5-3k words and that's only because I went with that when I first started writing. I would stick with what you do, get into a habit of it, and don't worry about anything else. 5k+ word long chapters can...

    What is your preferred season?

    Can you feel your heart burning? Can you feel the struggle within? The fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. You cannot kill me in a way that matters

    I need an Item Box skill...

    As someone who pirates almost all forms of media (in Minecraft), I look at this and can only think about how all that money could've been used literally anywhere else. Does it make you proud to have all of this? Stacks and towers of risque idolization. To be so obsessed that you desired to...

    American isekai.

    I know its a late post, but yea, its a coincidence. I started writing mine several months ago and posted it when I got off my hiatus after finishing my first novel. And a week or so ago I had a lot of motivational after undergoing a small medical operation so I wrote it like crazy, making it on...

    What's your ultimate wish-fulfillment story?

    My first written story, which is exactly why I started writing in the first place. I didn't like the others so I just made my own. What's more ultimate than that?

    Your observations on the way immortal characters are written in fantasy novels

    I would say it comes down to the author's interpretation of immortality. For some, its simply longevity, whether infinite or just super long. But longevity doesn't equal durability. Like an elf, considered immortal by human standards, is still able to be killed. I would say that author's rarely...

    Mercy or Vengeance

    I somewhat agreed with you until you lost me at not enacting violence even for self defense. Coming from the same position, I know the bible dictates that it is your moral obligation to protect yourself, and especially, your family. Unhinged violence is absolutely permitted in those situations...

    Settings in Romance Genres

    Haven't written romance novels, but I guess a good way to introduce a world or environment would be through discovery. Like, the MC obviously knows the world around him, but the reader discovers it through a day in the life kind of thing. You introduce the home as he gets ready in the morning...
