    is an Inexplicit protagonist gender too confusing for readers?

    It's not a matter of gender but self-insertion. Don't get me wrong, when I hit chapter 20 or so, I ended up going through the whole series settling on a male protagonist. :blob_hmm: It was a mess and a mistake to say the least. I just want to reach a wider audience :sweat_smile:

    is an Inexplicit protagonist gender too confusing for readers?

    Honestly, I have no idea why it didn't occur to me earlier to use the first-person perspective to describe actions. I'm already using it for internal thoughts so why not just add some action to it :blob_facepalm: I'll do a little more research on this approach so I don't have a Frankenstein...

    is an Inexplicit protagonist gender too confusing for readers?

    That sounds like an interesting approach, I'll give Soramimi Hanarejima a read and go from there. Thanks for the advice!

    is an Inexplicit protagonist gender too confusing for readers?

    My initial aim was to write a book for a wide audience, and one way was to avoid using pronouns directing at the protagonist. This way it would be easier for readers to insert themselves. I've recently decided to restart and revise 'The Uprise of a Nobody', mainly because of the confusing mess I...

    I think my story is too mixed up...

    Thank you so much for your feedback. I tried experimenting with the first-person perspective but as you can tell; I didn't do it very well. Also, I don't have an excuse for mixing past and present tense... That's just embarrassing :blob_evil: I'll rewrite and adapt the perspective of the story...

    I think my story is too mixed up...

    Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me out here. I've written 26 chapters of 'The Uprise of a Nobody' and I'm thinking it may be a little messy. The entire story starts off from the MCs perspective with internal thoughts. Later on, it switches to an external non-character perspective...

    Do you plan a plot or just wing it?

    I've been writing for just about a month now, completely winging the story. Apart from outlining the world the MC is in, everything else is completely made up on the spot. I'm not struggling with the content but I am concerned with the pace of the whole story. How do you approach your story and...

    feed back please.

    Just for reference, here is the link: FIX YOU | Scribble Hub You may want to work on formatting, punctuation and grammar. An example would be spelling "didn't" as "did'nt". Also, there are multiple occasions where there is a space before a comma, etc. You will also want to see how a reader...

    Genderless Protagonist and Approach (The Uprise of a Nobody)

    I completely understand. Actually, by simply removing the first half of chapter 1: Removing all the negativity and sad character background. I found it flows much better when the narration starts with the robotic voice. It mentions how he died and vaguely states that he had a miserable life, but...

    Genderless Protagonist and Approach (The Uprise of a Nobody)

    So this month, I decided to write up a story about a person who travels to another world after death through being rejected by gods and devils. I thought to myself, what if I make the main character genderless? That way, the reader can put themselves in the character's shoes any way they please...
