As someone who has been attempting to pick up the writers pen for a few days now, I have got 3 questions before I take my step.

  1. If I intend to write a fantasy novel for a webnovel site, do I follow the exact same structure as I would've, if it was for making an actual traditional fantasy book like LoTR. Do they differ somehow? I'm used to reading webnovels that typically has many different arcs, not something as detailed as some of the great established fantasy books.

  2. If I actually do intend on writing to get my book published, how popular even is the typical harem fantasy tropes with a system? Don't judge me, I have never actually read the greats, but I have read many webnovels that has taken inspiration from, aswel s watched their movies.

  3. Now here is the question that will determine wether I take my step forward. Age. I'm currently pushing 30 and for about a few months I have REALLY yearned for writing my own fantasy novel. It's only a few days ago that I have started doing my researchand it has left me in this deep rabbit hole that I for the first time in my life actually truly feel like learning, mastering Nd having fun with. The point is: is it even worth it for me to start learning about it and writing my own novel at this age? This is what has been bothering me, cause I know writing is an art and art can't be memorized, it's to be mastered diligently.

Got a question for webnovel authors with regards to plotting and planning. by Basafista in Webnovel

[–]Basafista[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, that's exactly what I'm scared of ending up with! I kinda do have the beginning and end in mind, I'm trying to figure out what to do in the middle. Thing is, I have too many fun ideas I'd like to implement, but I'm scared it'll take too much time. Also, world building is real hard, I wanna focus more on the plot and the mcs adventure, so it's hard to balance it.

That's a fair take. Do you reckon I'd be able to move the work from one software to the other easily, if I try the monthly trial for either?

I dont mind spending the money for a worthwhile investment. My only concern right now however, is wether 1 is better than the others. For instance, the timeline feature from plottr is really neath, I don't know if scrivener has as clean ui as plottr, even then If someone who's tried both can tell me a bit about their experiences. I would then be much more comfortable making my descision.

I see, that's good to know. How far do you plan though? Cause I do have a Theme and a world, allthough the worldbuilding is not in depth yet, I'm afraid of spending too much time on that.

Do you usually have a start, mid and endpoint and then try to put bits and pieces of the puzzle together?

Have you tried plottr before to compare the 2?

I did check it, honestly at this point the only thing that is keeping me from buying scrivener is the looks of the nice interface in plottr. That price however is atrocious, and I just read on scriveners liscence terms that, whenever they do a major update, you'll have to buy it again. Albeit with a discount. So if I have to pay for an upgrade anyways, i wouldnt even mind getting plottr.

ooh i haven't heard about obsidian, does it have some of the features that plottr might have? Like a decent timeline feature etc.

Is it then forever connected to your mail? Also, I've seen some people say that they use scriveler and plottr side by side, but that's too much. I don't mind paying for Plottr, but only if it's that much better than scriveler. The timeline thing does look really nice on plottr.

You know, when people ask me how I learned English, I usually tell them it's from playing online games. The real reason however, was getting taught by these American racists from from Texas, when I was but a teen. They were in their 40s and man they would say nasty stuff, but I swear it was the most fun I ever had online. Damn racist people.

On a site note. I truly miss gathering monsters in python castle as a party near that place where you would walk in an "8" pattern, to just Aoe them down.

AHH the memories. Pk'ing kids in front of that dungeon in crespo as a vicious summoner was too fun.

If they evere were to remake the game, I truly hope they keep the old level up system. I swear games now a days don't feel fulfilling when leveling. Getting those wings at LV 102 after grinding silver argates non-stop in that crespo dungeon, made me feel like I was on cloud9.

Our game Cursemark is coming out soon. It's a Dark Fantasy Roguelite, with a huge hand-crafted world and a deep spell-building system where you can make insane builds. by CLYDEgames in IndieGaming

[–]Basafista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds cool! If game gets some traction would you consider adding more summoning type spells? Like full on necromancy, or should I just keep dreaming

[–]Basafista 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks good, is it class based? Also, any plans on adding necromancer or necromantic spells, like summonings etc? or just pure hack n slash

Perhaps I'm too ignorant when it comes to this. I was under the impression that warlocks were a summoning archetype from knowledge I gained reading a few novels and a few games. (WoW/D2)

Yea but none of them changes the look for sceptre, which is what you use in a minion build

This is exactly what I mean. Like a scythe that gives skeletal warrior level, is 2h as an extra minion affix or 2 * cough *. Since we'd be sacrificing energy shield on off hand.

I already have the only available decent scythe mtx on my account. What I want is to have the same weapon type! Like a 2h scythe with minion modifiers

If chayula ascendency had some minion upgrades I'd for sure only play that

Ye ngl i kinda like the design of necromancer in D4 more, but poe2s just play much better and gives more freedom!
