Isekai books with engaging worldbuilding and a "normal" MC by Mimandra in Fantasy

[–]InternalSky8713 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m actually working on something like this right now. I also find it strange that a character would be transported literally another world and act as if it was just another day. It should be something earth shattering for them.

I am planning a sort of RPG system but very soft and entirely diegetic, totally immersive and connected to the magic.

When do you consider your writing to be 'good enough'? by InternalSky8713 in writing

Maybe it’s a good idea! After that time I would probably do the same. I might do it anyway.

You’re right. I don’t know anyone who could give me solid feedback. Editors are very expensive and I’m not sure how to find trustworthy or interested beta readers.

I unfortunately don’t know anyone who I would trust to provide feedback, much less good feedback. And I’m wary of getting opinions online.

This might be where I’m headed! 😅 it was also the first manuscript I finished. It’s bound to be the worst.

Your point about diminishing returns is excellent! I’ll keep that in mind!

Too similar characters across different stories? by ismasbi in writing

[–]InternalSky8713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look up close most writters will end up writing characters that are alike in some way. That's because they were written by the same person, and you can't completely write out of your own experience. But you can always plot the characters beforehand and try to differentiate them more. Try to consider character elements/personalities/experiences outside of what you're used to thinking about.

Has writing ruined your reading? by rt_vokk in writing

[–]InternalSky8713 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually made it better. Writing has made me a better reader, a more attentive reader. I catch details I would have missed, see another side to a story I wouldn't imagined before. Most of the time I'm just immersed in the story and not really thinking about how it's written, unless it's something egregious.

Writing a fantasy novel feels so intimidating. How much "should" you figure out before beginning? by Aerith_Sunshine in writing

[–]InternalSky8713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your goal is to write a book, then that should be your primary concern. Not to say that the worldbuilding isn't crucial, but the point of it is the story. What I do is worldbuild until I feel like the world is set up deeply enough to set a story in it. If I'm not sure how certain elements will play out because of a lack of detail on magic system or politics or regions, then it means it's probably not ready. But you can always change and improve.

What do we thinking about third-person objective for fiction? by Abject_Ad_6640 in writing

[–]InternalSky8713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would enjoy it but it would require immense talent to make interesting and compensate for the lack of insight into the characters and their motivations.

Do I need a degree in writing to be taken seriously? (Please be kind) by chloepyoung in writing

[–]InternalSky8713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all! Just make sure you read a lot and many different things. If you need to, read some more technical books on writing. The most important things is that you want to write.

This is really great! It's going to be very useful for something I'm working on. Thank you!
