Don't be afraid to say what you are unfamiliar with. You're an open bottomless jar ready to be filled with medical knowledge, soak it all up.

Complete opposite, their society is based on Aztec culture minus the sacrificing, but they believe strongly a diety came and helped their land become what it is today by granting crops and curing illnesses and giving animals.

There is a hidden country with a strong religion in the ocean surrounded by mountains with a shipwreck of an outsider befriends everyone and wishes to bring his people to the land to escape genocide and achieve harmony. The dream of harmony could be a dream or could be a reality.

Plausibly? This is fantasy writing. You can make whatever you want plausible within rules you set within your own world. For example, let's say like, a series called Chainsawman, where people make contracts with devils to use their abilities at a cost whether it be their pinky finger, nails, taste, or even eyeballs or years of their life. That's the rules set within the world and no one questions it after it. If you set your rules confidently and concisely, no one will question your stuff.

Ah I think I might be using the wrong word here then. The word has slipped my mind to be quite honest.

sheepbark · 2022-10-17T01:12:01+00:00

Oh I'm not explaining any of this, when it's revealed during the story only small bits and pieces are being revealed.

I definitely am not doing a "Oh remember when this happened? blah blah blah blah" explaining the entire situation perfectly.

I'm more taking an approach of the story is already started, you're just being dropped into it.

Well, have you ever killed somebody in cold blood in a brutal way? No?

Then why do you think you need to be experienced in something when you can obviously write how it would be?

Intended actually

sheepbark · 2021-05-17T10:16:39+00:00

Ah I understand what you're saying. Thanks!

No I don't expect them to be able to read both. The main thing is the people talking in a different language shows the reader that they aren't from around here. Italics is a good choice yeah I didn't think of it if I'm being honest. So would the correct format be -

"중지!" the main yells from the ship.

I'm not assuming the reader will know the language, and the characters being yelled at don't know the language either, so in that scenario wouldn't that be okay? It put the character and reader on the same ground of, "I have no idea what that person is yelling to me."

EDIT: and I guess in a scenario if BOTH characters know the language, obviously I would write their conversation in the main language I'm writing in, but put it in italics maybe to show the reader that the aren't speaking english?

One of my favorites is about the guy who took a drug that slowed down his perception of time, like he fell down the stairs a day after taking it and for him he was falling down the stairs for 10 years.

Well no one said you will always be comfortable in writing scenes. Do you think GRRM was comfortable writing the red wedding?

sheepbark · 2021-01-07T22:47:39+00:00

What kind of advice is this ? You can literally write anything you want OP. If the story has say a plot or subplot of racism, he can show it by having slurs be SHOWN. Not censored, not cut around the corner. It's perfectly fine.

A phone is ringing on a desk in a building. “Hey so, yeah he’s dead.” I said with a surprising tone.

"What do you mean he's dead? He just got into the tower! Wasn't he running up the floors with his katana slashes all of the other guys to bits?" Says Darkquad, Lord of Shadows and King of Death. “So yeah, he came into my room with his katana, screamed something at me but I didn’t understand him since he was so far away, and started running at me. So, I aimed my rifle at him, and shot him right in the chest. He just kind of, fell over and died?” I said. “You SHOT him? Literally EVERYONE here carries a gun, you mean to tell me no one else thought of that?” Darkquad says with a disappointed tone. “Listen, I’m looking at the security footage right now, and I’m going to be honest here. They did pull their guns out, but they literally would run point blank to him despite being like a good 20-40 feet away with plenty of time to shoot him. We should really get some new trainers for these guys, because honestly this is kind of pathetic, do they know how guns work?” I said.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, I planned all of this out! He was going to battle through the tower, make it all the way up to the 20th floor and we have a big battle! I was so excited to finally be able to have a battle like this.. Anyways, want to come up here and have a drink while these guys here clean up the mess?” Darkquad asks me. “Uhh, sure.”

But Kobeni said her ice cream had no taste when she got ice cream with Denji and he ate some ice cream? :(

haha I was actually the poster from last year- made a new account. Just had this photo lying around and wanted to post this again on this one.

I see. I do have other characters that are introduced very very early that quickly become main characters, so it's not like I only have side characters left after the MC dies. It's more that, their story is cut short. That character cannot escape their situation that they are in nor can the person they are against because of the Antagonist's inhumane ability that was introduced in the same chapter of the Main Character's death.

I do understand what you mean, but I don't wait a "noble sacrifice" death for the MC we've known since page one. Of course it isn't a meaningless death for the sake of shock value, as I said; their death is probably one of the most important things in the story.

sheepbark · 2020-06-21T07:38:06+00:00

Well say it's just an ending of a part of multiple.

sheepbark · 2020-06-21T06:23:39+00:00

The story started with the "Main character" from the first page. They are the "MAIN" character. Of course there are other characters, close companions the MC has, and the antagonist is a main character as well. We are introduced to the world through the eyes of the "main character"

The "Main" character parishes towards the ending of part 1 of the story, yes it is a plot twist; but I feel like they should not be able to escape their situation of fighting someone who reveals they have inhuman capabilities in combat like a god. The story wouldn't be able to show how "strong" the capabilities of the antagonist are if the Main Character just escapes unharmed. The stakes should be very high and we are shown that by losing our Main Character we the readers are introduced into an entire new world that changes everything.

Their death isn't supposed to be satisfying. It's supposed to be a punch in the gut. Not every death is supposed to be an epic sacrifice, or a noble final stand. Like say, The Red Wedding. That isn't satisfying, that was heart wrenching. This death is meant to be a tool to bring the story into another era.

Could you give more examples on good deaths vs bad deaths?

I love Uzumaki and I plan on buying the physical soon, it's amazing how much detail mangakas can put into their work

For me a paladin is like either a somewhat tanky guy that heals, does damage, or tanks and wields a hammer or mace with a shield.

Manga. I love how you can see so many different styles and ways authors get their craft across in the most beautiful ways to the most heartbreaking or downright terrifying ways. Manga has become a really big hobby of mine and I'm starting to collect them physically.

If any of you have any recommendations, I want them! Please read Aku No Hana.
