    What do I need to know to write a good cultivation novel with Taoist elements?

    Hey, in cultivation novels, the cultivators are always consuming pills, but they're usually said to contain impurities that have to be purified later. Everyone uses the pills, and everyone is always fighting for pill ingredients, which can be interesting. But, if you want to make something...

    Should I do this?

    Do it! Well, since readers aren't your goal, I won't talk very much about them, but some can read one of your stories and get interested in the other when otherwise they'd never look at it for some reason. Now, while I suffer from a case of dropping stories because of time, I recommend you...

    What do I need to know to write a good cultivation novel with Taoist elements?

    Well, I think the most important thing for a cultivation novel is the Dao. If you want to get philosophical, the Dao can be pretty complicated, but it roughly means the Truth or the Path. Think of Naruto's ninja path, it's something you hold dear and follow, something that shaped your life...

    Writing Bite Size vs Lenghty Chapters

    As a reader, I enjoy lengthy chapters, the bigger the better even when I usually read on the bus or when doing other things. I just love those Wandering Inn chapters that go on forever. But I, in particular, have a real aversion to short content, be it videos, stories or anything else. As a...

    Wonderin what pet companion does your mc have

    From my fanfic, one has a cat as a pet while the other tamed a giant lizard. From my original fic, the MC has a stuffed Dire Bear. She's a necromancer, so she stuffed the bear and reanimated it's skeleton, making for a powerful but confortable companion to ride on... although battle often...

    What is a prologue?

    A prologue is something that enhances your story, but isn't the start of it. Basically, something that happens before the story trully starts. It can be something that happened in the past and shaped the MC, something hapenning in a completely different location that shaped the world or...

    A little milestone. YAAY

    Damn, I remember the first story I got to 30 chapters. (he says, as if he has writen a lot of those.) I think it was about 70k words too, damn, that had felt so good. Congratz! Keep up, it's very satisfying when you manage to reach a milestone!

    Setting up a Ko-fi account

    I'd suggest patreon first, because it's my experience that more people have one, so more people may donate. But there are people who only get a Ko-Fi, the site doesn't get as much of your money as Patreon and I find it's easier to get single donations there. I think Ko-Fi is better than...

    Gelatin and necromancy

    I... will be stealing that idea, thank you very much. As for if it's possible, that really depends on the kind of Necromancy in the story.

    Time

    It really depends, there are times where there are more people in the sites, so you're more likely to be seen, but those times also have more stories being updated, so your story will stay in the front page for less time. I suggest varrying the time you update at least a little bit, sometimes...

    How would you create distinction between Troll, Ogre, and Oni?

    Trolls are smaller, although still much larger than humans, with great regeneration and leathery skin. They also tend to be green and have some amount of hair or fur. Ogres are larger, their skin is darker and their skin is more akin to rock, they don't have fur and are much stronger than...

    Need opinion for my second chapter

    Alright so, I'll probably say a lot, please don't take this as me being cruel because I'm not, My own writing has improved by a HUGE amount after one of my readers started correcting my mistakes, althought it's far from perfect. If you look at my first fic "Welcome to the System" I still think...

    Atleast how many chapters before publishing?

    That really depends on what kind of writer you are or how you're gonna be posting it. Like, if you're trying to get immediate notice or build a Patreon or something, I suggest getting at least around 20 chapters, the first ten you release very fast, like, two every day for almost a week. Then...

    System or no system

    Really, my own preferance, and the one I think will get you a better story, would be to NOT have a system. I feel like a system take away from the story. Systems fics can be fun, but they actually stop you from exploring your character's powers or finding interesting and gratifying ways of...

    A story in which MC has kids aka childcare story. The kids are present throughout the story and they appear frequently and are not just for show.

    https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/47434/apocalypse-parenting Apocalypse parenting is about the usual system apocalypse thing, only the MC is a mother and has to take care of her two kids while leveling up. There's many others but this is the only one I remember right now

    The Great Pansexual Polyamorous Harem Adventure

    Thats hard to say, if you only focus on the smut, you'll narrow your target fully to bi people, but yeah, as the latest Last of Us episode shows, if you make the story great, you can have same sex romance in it, and even an entire story about same sex romance. Of course, there's gonna be some...

    Writing How Many Words Should I Put?

    Now, I'll give you my opinion as a reader. I love huge chapters, reading a chapter that's more than 5k words feels great, but those usually take much longer to finish. I feel that a good number of words is around 2k. Anything less and the chapter feels too small, more like a snippet than a...

    Do I write too much?

    Ah, a problem I really wish I had. The answer is no, you're not writing too much, you're never writing too much. Just look at The Wandering Inn, that thing is... yeah.
