    If you got time - I would recommend you to actually do both. Only make a reference that it's written by the same author. For example, CasualFarmer did this with Beware of Chicken and Soaring Heaven's Isle - The author referred to it as alternate universe.

    Do you feel intense cringe when the novel MC swears?

    you you should meet my grandmother, I think the show golden girls gave her inspiration so many years ago to not give any care to anyone else's critique. This was after my grandfather passed so, it does happen - and frankly, it is normal to regress to ... more juvenile state as one reaches a...

    Is there a tag/genre that you do not want to read anymore?

    Harem - I liked the idea and the variety of the cast but eventually, I noticed there's no way to do a harem without either having a spineless MC trying not to offend any of his girls or the girls force new members on him as a way of sharing the wealth (weird, I know.) And just to keep the story...

    Write something that will make people's emotion to fluctuate.

    I sat in court, waiting for my turn to speak with the judge as part of the sentencing process. In the past months, the DA wasn't really helpful on letting me know what was going on with court cases of my brother's murder. Since the accused was minors, I wasn't given any details. When I tried to...

    I use the aspects I dislike as a foil of criticism and a conflict that drives the plot. Let's take slavery - MC buys a mine that is notorious for slavery use and individually the operations of the mine to demonstrate the purpose of freemen, that people that has a future has a drive to improve...

    I found a novel with exact copy content but different title, is it the original author?

    You'd be on how many people wants something for low effort / next to nothing. The hollowness of their achievements goes way over their insipid heads because one would have to be stupid to believe that things come without costs in the first place.

    Infinite cycle series?

    I've thought of a version similar to this, basically a wandering fallen god with his divinity stolen the moment he was ascended and banished beyond his original universe as a way to hide the thief's crime because it's basically a very heinous crime in the pantheon, a murder of a god. He...

    The guide trope and why it's sidelined

    What about an ancient tome? The tome only answers to the bound owner and only one owner at a time, the pages blank for each new owner, the book still has knowledge of everything written in it. Naturally, that tome had a history of owners being murdered and eventually secreted away in paranoia...

    The winkled professor walked to the podium, his walking cane accentuating each step with stony taps. He looked over the class with gruff expression and cleared his throat. "You have decided to start your morning on South America History, whether or not if this is wise, it would be reflected on...

    Writing Prompt Write an extremely specific simile or metaphor to convey an extremely specific emotion.

    JR was having a good day, waking up in time, breakfast excellently made and the cat nuzzling the leg just before JR went out to work, a simple gift of affection like a waving mother at a bus stop as the child leaves for school. While driving, JR grinned at the choice of song the music app on...

    System or no system

    The system concept has a major flaw that doesn't seem to be addressed in most system stories. A system can only work if one is already in a simulated/holographic universe. Think of it this way - a system is like being able to have the runtime console showing during gameplay, it shows what...
