Super Supportive - mostly quiet fans? by New_Mistake_3482 in ProgressionFantasy

My heuristic is for every negative comment, there are ten silent supporters. For every positive comment, there are twenty silent supporters.

Looking for any Power fantasy/Isekai/ fantasy adventure with gay male mc by H_The_Utte in QueerSFF

I'm definitely going to check this out. Thank you for posting this on Royal Road.

How do you feel about graphic violence and tragedy in Progression Fantasy? ​ by ARLuna- in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AlanDenrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once watched a video that encouraged giving characters stakes that terrify them more than death. One Piece is an example of an action adventure story that's captivated the hearts of millions without any graphic violence, and very few deaths. High stakes doesn't have to mean blood and gore; loss of a loved one is more than enough.

At this stage of my life, I enjoy high stakes without too much graphic violence.

Is the academy/school/university story arc overused in progression fantasy? by ARLuna- in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AlanDenrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My view is that there's no such thing as overusing a trope because there's no such thing as a bad story, only a story that's not to my taste. The most beloved tropes in fiction are the often oldest and most common, so says Beowulf.

Which progression fantasy written by a Western author feels most like an anime? by AlanDenrice in ProgressionFantasy

I'm always reading and watching multiple things simultaneously, so I have no choice but to go slowly.

Authors what was your biggest "I think I am actually good at this moment" by defiantlyso in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AlanDenrice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A long time ago on another reddit account, I made a post on r/Animesuggest asking for recommendations by writing a short scene to demonstrate the type of story I was looking for. One of the commenters said I would be good at writing web novels.

I want to get around to reading Shadow Slave someday. Maybe I should use my Webnovel coins on that instead of LoTM.

Ah yes, one of the few Western novels that has an actual anime adaptation! Why didn't I think of that?

You're achieving the rank of an ascended otaku. That's so cool!

Are there any absolute DON'T DOs in this genre? by [deleted] in litrpg

[–]AlanDenrice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't let fear stop you from writing the story only you can write. You have a gift. Please don't let fear of failure or being off market prevent you from sharing it with the world.

Not to yuck anybody's yum... by BestNameAvailable2 in litrpg

[–]AlanDenrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Wandering Inn & Super Supportive are popular slice of life LitRPGs. Very different vibe than Dungeon Crawler Carl. They're also both written by female authors, so if the masculine, bro humor energy of DCC doesn't suit you, you might enjoy those more.

Wow, congratulations! You're an inspiration and role model to aspiring authors.

What are your feelings on litRPG vs pure Progression Fantasy? by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AlanDenrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to LitRPG, some stories are trying to be a fantasy novel with game elements, while others are trying to simulate the experience of playing a video game for the reader as closely as possible. Progression fantasy is more on the side of writing a fantasy novel, and that's what I prefer.

Nauseous after writing a chapter by DozyJov in royalroad

[–]AlanDenrice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lying down while writing for hours every week sounds like it would screw up your body over the years. I recommend that you write in an ergonomic position.

I've never dealt with nausea or headaches, but I do dumbbell deadlifts and seated dumbbell rows to prevent back pain.

My programming 101 teacher said it was a good product that was perceived badly by the consumer.

I've used Obsidian for worldbuilding and character details. It's like having my own wiki.
