In most cases, for numbers that can be expressed in one or two words, like one, two, three, it's better to spell them out. But when dealing with larger numbers or specific technical or statistical content, numerals like 25, 100, etc., are more appropriate. It also depends on the genre and the specific style requirements of your publisher or the platform you're writing for.

It depends. Generally, you should spell out numbers one through nine, and use numerals for 10 and above. But there are some exceptions based on style guides and the context of your writing.

WHEN I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SPIDER WITH MY GODDESS

WHEN I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SPIDER WITH MY GODDESS

Sachi has lived a life devoid of the love and friendship that many take for granted, having lost her parents at a young age. However, following a tragic school bus accident, she and her classmates are reincarnated in a divine realm and tasked with saving a new world. Full of hope for a brighter future, Sachi eagerly accepts her new life. As part of the reincarnation process, each person is accompanied by a God or Goddess to guide them on their journey. While Sachi's classmates are chosen by powerful deities and are granted impressive abilities, Sachi is chosen by the non-combat Goddess Athena. The two of them, being weak and lacking in offensive power, are belittled and bullied by the other Gods and students. Despite the disdain of those around them, Sachi and Athena form a close friendship and support each other through all trials. However, their bonds are tested when they are betrayed by those they thought were their allies and find themselves under attack from the fearsome Heavenly Guardian Beast, Fenrir. Despite the odds, Sachi and Athena manage to survive and defeat the beast, and others begin to recognize Sachi's true, overpowering potential. Determined to protect each other and lead a happy life, Sachi and Athena embark on a journey to save Isleguard, facing many challenges along the way. Will they be able to overcome these obstacles and achieve their goal?

When I woke up, I was in an Eroge World!

When I woke up, I was in an Eroge World!

When Alex woke up, he found himself in a new world. [Ding!] [Welcome, Alex, to the world of Criotopia! The land of beauty and the beasts awaits you.] And a System too! “What? Criotopia? Wait, that name… isn’t that the same name as the world of the Eroge game I was playing last night?! What the hell is going on?!” It was a different world consisting of a fantasy landscape, various fantasy races, real magic, and most importantly, lots of beautiful women! *** Criotopia, an Eroge game that had a very detailed story about youth, school years, politics, wars, and a very difficult fight against the Demon King, who wished to conquer the world. While it was called an Eroge and had plenty of adult content and beautiful women (Capture Targets), it was also an RPG game, with a great story where you follow the story of Mark, an everyday commoner who accidentally finds the Holy Sword in the ancient ruins and becomes the Hero. But his journey was filled with hardships and fights, to overcome the various troubles from people around him, in the Noble’s Academy, in the Nobility, and finally, monsters and demons. He struggles and along the way finds and 'captures' various girls and women who aid is in his quest to become the world’s greatest hero. No. of capture targets, including the DLCs: 48 *** Once this shock passed, Alex was somewhat hopeful. He knew the world and the story it followed, the major plot points and hidden items. He could use his knowledge of this world, even if it's not exactly like in the game, and become the world’s strongest! Not to mention he gets to have a System that lets him level up, which isn’t a feature in the world, since people can’t “level up” in this world. He also learns of his new family in which he's the only man in the house with 4 beautiful females and maids! “I’m currently 13. The story starts 4 years later when the first arc, the Academy arc, begins. I can train and become super strong by then! Meanwhile, I must get to know these new family members of mine who happen to be all beautiful females. Hehe.” Alex was interested in them But he didn't quite realize this world wasn’t exactly like how the game world. There were more people and things than in the game, moreover, they were now real. Will he be able to survive in a fantasy world, filled with dangers of all kinds, solely with his System and his foreknowledge? What are the hidden dangers that lurk in the shadows of the world? How will Alex's story unfold in this known, yet unknown world? Find out by reading the novel! XD *** Author's Note: The setting of this novel is inspired greatly by another novel that uses the same setting, namely, "The Conqueror's Path". I really liked the concept, so I decided to have my own take on it. This is NOT plagiarism or a fan fic of "The Conqueror's Path". I have only taken inspiration from the original. Naturally, this novel is not the same and doesn't follow the other's storyline. (Reread it) It's an different story. Author's note 2: I am not a professional author, and I do this as a hobby. But I have tried to keep my story presentable. It is not perfect, but it's very readable. Please be kind and patient if you find mistakes. :D --- Warning! This novel contains the use of explicit language and detailed scenes of intercourse, along with various tropes such as incest, S&M, and probably a bunch of other tropes. (NO NTR!) Readers who do not like such content or are underaged should not read it. You have been warned! I hope people who enjoy the genre enjoy my humble creation. P.S.: The Cover picture doesn't belong to me, but the original artist(s). If they want me to remove it, please comment or review it. --- Notice: Vol. 1 starting chapters Undergoing rewrite/edit from 20th Oct 2022. Edited chapters will be marked as '(Edited)' --- Support me: https://www.p@treon.com/poz
