    How Do You Grow a Thick Skin?

    People critique and complain about whatever is the final straw, if it sounds hostile to you they are projecting some other issue into their comment. If your having self doubt about a particular complaint try getting the opinion of a friend (or fellow author) to judge if it is a valid way you...

But seriously do I start with my current self or an average human body? cause as a nomal human I would choose health. My RL body has an abnomal pain tolerance so I would have no big issus making myself...

    Does reading from a POV of a humanoid "maneater" feel cannibalistic?

    A good point, I think most of what your describing would have to be from a first person perspective to have an impact on the reader. From a 3rd person limited perspective they wouldn't even know what was going on, from 3rd person omniscient it would still be lacking. Good to know, I have been...

    Question about gunpowder weapon's in mediaval setting.

    I say nurf the accuracy, then they are much more destructive compared to bow and arrow but need to get in a closer range to be effective. Even early muzzle loaders had the power to punch though several lightly armered men, and they shoot strait at the enemy where as most arrows will only go...

    Does reading from a POV of a humanoid "maneater" feel cannibalistic?

    I have read those 3 and none of them felt like cannabilism to me. For me cannabilism means eating your own species (a species is defined as being able to have ofspring that can have their own offspring) a monster (Everybody Loves Big Chests) is definitly not the same species as humans/others...

    Why Do Cultivation Protagonists Suck?

    an overused mechanic (like cultivation) will allways feel like garbage writing until someone puts a new spin on it, that is because most cultivation novels are focused on length, not being word for word copied (only paraphrased), and an outlet for the authors frustrations. Any cultivation novel...

    How much do y'all care about realism in your stories?

    It wouldn't be fantasy if it was the same as the real world. Some things will be different from RL and they should be explained either as, RL with changes, or build your world from the base up explaining as the the protagonist learns or when it becomes relevant. So change whatever you want and...
