I am just a reader. And while I have 12 years’ worth of reading light novels, mangas and fantasy books, I still lack the endurance and devotion to truly write something I would put my heart into, which would be more than just a silly small thing with 10 chapters. 

Yet I became capable of finding faults within other novels so much that I can no longer stop myself from putting it somewhere. Especially because sometimes those faults become the reason I can’t read my favorite novel anymore. It went downhill just too much. 

So this is my collection of the aspects and tips on how to make your writing a better quality.

Finishing with his story, the two boys whistled loudly as if impressed by this story. Inorra was the most fascinated by this story and look at Vlad and asked excitedly.
"Brother Zag, how is this prince called. You have to at least tell me his name."
" I still don't understand the language that dream of mine came from. It's as if I was struck day by day by it, but I think because I don't know how to write and read, I simply can't make the conversion."
"What? You need to know how to write and read to say someone's name? Isn't this stupid? Hmmm, let me think about it maybe I can help you a bit."
Started Inorra pondering to himself while Kipset, still lying on the ground, began contemplating about the story.
'This story really feels unique. As if it was something told by someone who lived those exact moments. But how? Zagreus is only 14 years old. How could he know about such a detailed story that spanned on the course of so many years?
'Sure, he is smart, but being able to tell such a story with such great accuracy as if he really remembered everything and lived those exact moments. Could it be that is one of his unique powers? I heard about the devil fruit that can grant you mystic powers. Could it be that Zagreus is one of those guys who have special powers?'
"Brother that story of yours is really fascinating. It's a shame that only the two of us would know it, but a pledge is a pledge. If we are to broke it may we die cursed."
"No need Kip to say such things. All I hope is that you would learn something from this story. To have an open mind, keep your emotions in check in all types of situations, even if it's tough to do so. To be sometimes skeptical of the people surrounding you, but at the same time not alienize the people approaching you with good intentions. 
We as humans will be nothing without helping one another, just like the prince who first lost his throne because he didn't have his soldiers to defend his right to rule."
"Yes brother, this story of yours really contains a lot of teachings that will surely stay with us for a long time. But I wanted to ask you something, do you have by chance wierd powers that you are hidding? Devil powers?"

"Hmm, I don't know about any powers. I'm just me and my own body. However, I kind of understand you are questioning about how I know such a story?"
"That is right brother. It's a story to great for someone of our age to even talk about."
"Well, you are right. I'm not entirely normal. Sometimes when I sleep, there are memories that look like dreams who constantly flood my head. The stories about those gods I've been telling you, or this one comes from my dreams. I can't explain to you how this happens."
'This is possible to be one truth. But from how this story was told is really unthinkable of knowing all places so vividly from only some dreams. Could it be?? That is big, really big. 
If it is really what I think is it, I better keep it for myself. Zagreus, you really are a weird person, but I can feel that the story of this prince and the way you act with us really matches a lot. The arrogance and that experience and wisdom you have it's similar to the prince in your story. The ruthlessness and madness when you fight with those criminals inside the zone are similar to the story of how the prince fought with country A.
So you are the prince from the story. Arghhh, my head hurts. I better think of it in bed.'
'But I have nothing to worry, that prince protected me and Inorra from the dangers of this mine. I got nothing to fear.'
Kipset exhaled a deep breath to calm himself, something that Vlad noticed with his kneen eyes that also made him think a bit.
'I knew you are a smart and bright kid, little Kipset. Obviously, I would leave interpretations, so probably only you who lived with me for 4 years and observed my actions could be said to manage to figure out the story double meaning.'
'As for you telling this secret to others? I don't care, no one would even believe you if you do so. It's simply like if the Great Roman Emperors such as Augustus or Constantine would come to me now and tell me, they are those emperors using only this world language. If you are to speak in Latin with me, I might believe you, but speaking in this world language makes my story hidden in words and meaning.'
Inorra finally stopped from stretching his head and told Vlad with a bright smile.
"I got it. I can teach you how to write and read, and maybe you will figure out a way to tell me the prince name."
Kipset staring at Vlad's face as he looked calmly at Inorra with a smile, sighed to himself, but he too wanted to find out about the prince's name or, better said, find Zagreus(Vlad's) hidden identity.
"Bro, can you really write something?" asked Kipset with a perplexed expression, remembering something Inorra once said to him.
"Yea man, I'm quite good. I can write my name, the name of the kingdom we live, Zagreus's name, your name Kipset, and some other interesting words." Said Inorra while holding himself proudly for this achievement.
Kipset was taken a bit by surprise to find that Inorra knew to write his name.
"How did you manage to do this?"
"There's been a friendly miner who in his break would talk with me, and then at one point, he asked me if I knew to write. Obviously, I didn't know anything at that time because my bastards of parents treated me like a dog.
Ahem, each day that miner, whenever I was on the same job with him, would teach me to write all kinds of words."
Vlad's interest got picked. He felt peaceful and calm, even calmer than before he told the boys about his story. If they understood the hidden meaning, that is good. If they don't, that was also good. It made his brain release some compounds that eliminated slight anxiety about his real identity or what combination between a child and adult he become. 
"Go on Inor start telling me.  What words can you write, show me otherwise I will not figure out the prince name, and you'll remain without the name."
" Yes, yes. I know, but let me think about it. The characters are quite hard to understand and write them even for me."
"Don't hurry we got all the time in the world, well at least until we escape from the camp. Go on, start writing with a branch on the soil some words for me to see maybe I figure something out.
"Sure, then let me begin with this one."
Walking towards a branch, he started writing on the ground each of the names of his brothers. Zagreus and Kipset.
Even Kipset was glued next to Vlad as they stared at Inorra, who was concentrating on the characters.
First, it was his name, Inorra. The characters had a unique feeling about them. Vlad slowly tried to read that word in his mind using the Latin alphabet, and surprisingly he was able to say in his mind, which means that the characters required for Inorra's name got saved in his mind.
'"I N N O R A", so this is how you write your name, good to see that the boy also has potential. While he might be silly, he's a good boy.'
Later Inorra began writing Kipset's name, which then made Vlad slowly call that name by each character in his head. It was followed by the name Zagreus, which did the greatest effect on Vlad's body.
When he turned to comprehend the name and its characters, his heartbeat began hitting harder all of a sudden. 'Ohh, you're happy little boy? For only this? Well, it's still something, but old me still has to find his name.'
With time Inorra listed all short of words on the ground that Vlad memorized writing quickly. Then he stopped Inorra when he wrote "dragon" while his face turned serious.
As he turned silent, his thought process was in full swing, and after being stared at weirdly by the other boys, he said only one word in a confused tone.
"Vlad. Dracula"  '[Son of the Dragon] So this is how my name sounds here? Such troublesome language to work around.'
"Tell, me kids did you hear me say the name in its entirety?"
"Yes, but it sounds a bit weird compared to how we're named here. Damn the prince's name sounds really badass. But what Dracula mean in that name?" asked Inorra while staring excited at Vlad, while Kipset nodded his head as if memorizing that name for himself.
"Wait a bit. Let me search on that memory of the dream."
Taking some time to think, using a combination of Latin and this world language, Vlad then nodded his head satisfied.
"Ok, good. Better be focused because it might be confusing to understand. Dracula means in that country "son of the Dragon". It's a name and title inherited from his father who was also a knight. "
"Wow, the prince's father was a knight? This is so badass."
"Haha, well. You can say so."
"However you two, since we are preparing to escape from the camp and most likely my name will be looked after this entire kingdom. I want you two to start addressing me as the prince, Vlad."
"Ehhh? But why? So what if you are looked after, that's your name. Be proud of it, others don't even have one." commented Inorra, a bit confused about Vlad's request.
"You say this, but what if people associate Zagreus with you two? If you start boosting like you always do. "My brother is Zagreus. He can beat you all easily." would that also target you as maybe criminals? What about your dreams? Are you willing to abandon them just because of a name? 
"But, still. You are our brother, why call you using the prince name?" replied Inorra, back even more confused.
Meanwhile, Kipset turned to Inorra and said to him, a bit annoyed by these repeated useless questions.
"Just do it. We can say that is Zagreus another name, and only the two of us will know that Zagreus is also called Vlad. When we heard about him, we will know about who to pick up."
"Ohh, so it's like this. Fine, I understand. Vlad, it might be a bit wierd since I'm not used."
Vlad just stared at Kipset with calm eyes, and you could even say that we seemed to smile a bit at him.
'Thank you little Kipset.'
-
-
"Ahh, still it feels weird, can I just call you using both names?" asked Inorra for another confirmation.
That question made Vlad laugh heartily, not bothered at one bit by those silly questions.
"As you wish. Remember, only the three of us know about that story."
"That's good. Right, do you have by chance other stories about the prince? Those one are by far the best stories you have ever told us."
"Possible that I might have another dream about the prince. Once I settle down those dreams I will tell it to you without a problem. Now let's go inside." laughed Vlad hearty while patting Inorra and Kipset's shoulders.
As he was walking toward the shack, he continued with.
"Time is running out. Soon it will be the best opportunity to get out of the mining camp. Focus more on the training.  Tsk, also go wash yourselves, eat something and prepare for sleep. The next day will be interesting." 
Kipset and Inorra, who remained for a bit more outside, stared at one another, and the first one to say something was Inorra, who saw that Kipset's expression looked a bit troubled.
"What's wrong Kipset? Your face seems to be troubled by something. Do you need to go and shit? Just go, you don't to look after me."
"It's not that. It's about Vlad's story. What do you think about it?"
"Pretty good story. Almost as if it really happened, but in the end it's just a story. Why ask?"
"No, nothing much. I was just curious to hear what you think of the story."
"Ohh, it's that so. You know I like stories, especially those fantasies about strong people. Since I also want to be a strong person in the future. Someone who's name will resound in the entire world."
"Haha, good luck. We will really need it."
Ended Kipset as he moved toward the shack, followed by Inorra, but he thought a bit more in his head while he was walking.
'I think is better Inorra doesn't know about Vlad's real identity? Or could it be I'm really wrong myself and it's just like Inorra said, a good story that seems realistic?'
-
The next day came, the same scenery welcomed Vlad's face when waking. When he first opened his eyes, he felt good, knowing that even if he let some blunders and spoke in his native language, it wouldn't turn others hostile on him. Especially now that he managed to scare Inorra with some creepy stories from back home.
Looking around the shack, one could see that many of those things changed for the better. Every hole that once his hut had when coming into this chaotic zone was gone. You couldn't even notice the decaying wood. Walking towards a bowl with water, using the water there, he washed his face when suddenly someone knocked on his shack door.
At first, Vlad was skeptical. People in the chaotic zone wouldn't be the kind to be courteous when wanting something from you. Instead, they would rush into the room and make noise. The same rule applied to the guards. Why would they bother knocking on slave's doors?
Still, he walked to open the door from the opposite side, and when doing so, what showed up was an unfortunate surprise. A boy with a bruised face and body, barely standing on his feet, was looking fearfully towards Vlad. The boy reminded him of his younger self when being sent out by his father to be the enemy as a hostage.
Having his upper body not covered by any clothes, maybe he looked more menacing for the kid, or his height affected the boy's mentality. However, seeing himself in the boy when he was younger and having a soft spot in his heart for young kids, he kindly asked the boy.
"How can I help you, little boy? Do you need any help around? Have you got lost around here? Hey, are you listening to me?"
...................................
A/N: Is revealed or not? Did the boy figured out his identity or not. The boy really is bright, his future will undoubtedly hold big things for him.
-
Apart from this, Vlad finally began figuring out his name after all this time. He only had to learn how to read and write and then covert his first world language to this second life one.
Hope you liked this new take on revealing one's transmigrated character identity. A subtle manner of keeping things secret but also revealed.
You get it good, you don't, that's good too. Since it will not affect his well-being or those two boys.

A warlord, someone who brought only nightmarish visions for his enemy in an era where life and death were just at a flicker distance. 

The warlord was one who stood above the rest, but even with this grace, he slowly descended, falling abruptly in life, losing his power, reputation, and prestige. 

In his decadence, he, who was abandoned by life, woke himself in a mysterious realm, some people would call Limbo, a realm, between the realm of death, Tartarus, and the realm of the living. A place where all damned souls, unredeemable who lost faith in God, were gathered.

‘Vlad, oh great leader, after so many years of fighting the enemy, you have fallen so low that even God doesn’t want embrace to you and let you to his realm.’

Yet, salvation came in a more sinister way, having only one choice to escape this prison of souls, accept his gift or remain forevermore trapped into this realm, where souls can’t escape.

With only one choice, he shook the hands of the devil and journeyed out into the unknown, freed of his soul constraints, in a new world out of the world governors' jurisdictions.

In such a new realm, world,  his starts would be unlike what he experienced in his first life, but not far away from what he lived through. 
Nevertheless, every struggle he would experience would make him stronger, slowly climbing the ladder of the world's power structure until he would acclaim the title no one since that past world era had.

Still, I will mention this, if you are skeptical that this will be some garbage story where MC focuses on R18 all day long, you are mistaken, Vlad is a person who already lived a life. He wouldn’t be horny like the MC’s from other stories that visible didn’t touch a woman in their life.  The love interest circle will be composed of three ladies with vibrant personalities, their own minds, and life choices and will not be like leeches on the MC.

I am staring at the infiniteness of a blank page. The more I stare at it, the more I get confused, and lost. It is like staring down the deep dark old well. Or looking at a colorful painting hanging on the wall that ignites your thoughts, but there's no way you can describe how good that painting is. Every time I scramble letters to create words to sentences, everything just disappears. Gone like the wind.
I want to write.

I have always wanted to write stories, poems, anything.
I want to write a really good story. I want to write the most compelling, beautiful, and honest story anyone has ever written. I want that story to have an impact on people's lives to the point that they have to do something about it. I want my stories to make people feel that they are not alone in this world, and that they can be whoever they want to be.
I want to be able to produce love out of putting together simple words that make simple, intelligible, and relatable stories. I want people to feel, and embrace the power they hold for their individuality by writing about them. I want to make people feel how it feels like to get their happiest dreams and goals, even for a time, even if it means reading that immortalized on a piece of paper. I want to be able to have an effect on people through writing about stories that resonate.
I want to write that story.

Stories are like songs. They tell the past, and the present emotions. They even make you hope for the future. They give harmony and meaning to whatever you are going through. They give you sadness, happiness, inspiration, and life. 
Read, write, inspire, a friend once said.

But it seems like I dont hold the power of a great storyteller. I keep staring on the blank page like a scared, hopeless piece of human being. I don't have the courage to draw out words that hopefully could change the world, or people, for that matter. I keep overthinking: What if I write awful things? What if no matter how I tried, I wouldnt be able to get it? What if I all I write is just pure nonsense? 
I try to always fight the urge to overthink and demean myself, but human as I am, I tend to be insecure. I doubt myself. I question myself of my worth and my capabilities. I don't have enough confidence to just do what I want to do. I cower. 
But sometimes I feel so inspired by the things that I can do. I think about the stories that I can write and it makes me want to write more. It fills me with so much hope that I tend to look past myself. It's the only way that I will be able to do something... anything amazing. 
Writing clears my head. It points me to a direction. It enables me to create the kind of world that I want to imagine and live by. For a moment, it gives me a certain purpose to create a story with characters far from myself and my own failures. At some point, I make characters that expresses my whole true self. I write them like I am them, but I'm not.
I snap back to reality and realize that I have written a four-thousand-word short story. Unbelievably so, I finished something. I feel relieved. A faint smile draws on my face. I want to be happy for me although I know that it's far from perfect. I want to jump of happiness and brag about this simple achievement. I want to show the world that I am capable of creating something good for myself. I want to do alot more with this story blotted on pieces of paper. 
But I cant. And I won't. Because I'm not who I think I am. 
I am only an author of my own story, my own life.
Nothing more.

We are all in quarantine, stripped of choices, stuck in uncertainty.

What does it take to achieve something amidst the uncertainty? Why do we keep doing what we want despite the darkness? Where do we get inspiration after every bad day? When do we say we're hopeful after crying from ultimate sadness we can't explain? Ultimately, how do we build relationships in spite of today's challenges?

Times are hard, but we can always discover ourselves, our love, our passion through stories while being stuck in quarantine.

Time In Quarantine is a little series that shows stories of lives made and lost amid the hard times. It aims to discover ourselves more as we thread through uncertainty.

Hello everyone whoever reads this story if you made it to the end I hope you enjoyed it and had fun reading, I am the author of this story I just wanted to say a few things,  
this story started out as a long epic cultivation story that was inspired by my favorite dramas Ten Miles of Peach Blossom's series Ashes of Love known as Chinese costume dramas but I wanted my characters to be more like magical heroes  
coming on to the end of this story I was supposed to write another arch where they go into the realms and explore and have adventures on a quest to restore the heavens after going through the realms they would ascend to the heavens and become gods
and then they would have more adventures as gods however I began to realize I did not have enough ideas and material to write the quest part of the story well, each realm is different and has its own characteristics and celestials that live there as well as a mission that they must fulfill before moving on to the next realm but I did not have enough for all of this or ideas  
so I decided to end the story here and have it as a stand-alone story instead of trying to come up with things that might not be so great I decided it would be better if I did the realm quest and becoming gods part of the story as a separate adventure in another book so I am presently thinking about doing a part two Celestial Knights The Realms  
however, I am unsure when that will be exactly because I want to finish my other books first this is the first book I have fully finished in my entire life I am very proud of myself at the moment actually  
before becoming a web novel writer I used to be on Wattpad and I often did not finish my stories because of various reasons whether work or pressure from my family  
this is actually the first time I wrote a book all the way to the end and am even thinking of doing part two when I became contracted here the experience has taught me a lot I had to learn how to dedicate myself to my writing I stopped everything else that I usually do in my free time so I could have time to write and also taught me about editing and what it takes to write a story that will be  published for other readers to read  
every single off day I got from work I used to write because I had to keep a steady update schedule it's still not completely steady yet because if I have to work then I can't do anything but every evening after work I would try to write and edit an entire chapter so I could post it in the morning before going to work but sometimes I am not always able to do that
my family hates seeing me sitting in front of my computer to them I am just messing around and not doing anything worthwhile if it doesn't make money and cant put food on the table or pay the bills everything is a waste of time to them life itself is a waste of time to them  
they would even criticize my love for kpop and say the idols that make me happy by listening to their music dont even know I exist,
 I am making them richer by following them but they can't help me in my real life, they can't send me money if I'm broke or buy me food to eat if I'm hungry, so it's a waste of time to follow them
if I even watch a drama they will say I am only helping the actors get richer so I shouldn't watch them and would even turn off the screen in my face  
thats just how my family thinks about everything in the world, is a waste of time if it's not bringing some kind of value or money to the family, I think my family just doesn't know how to get happiness from doing things that they will not get anything back from it or just doing something just because it makes you feel good
what they consider to be happiness, is different from what I consider to be happiness, I am not like them so I can't live as they do, I can't imagine how they do it shutting their hearts to everything else good in the world I often think they are living like dead people
even on a beautiful day they wake up and see the sun they cant be happy just to be alive, I say good morning and they say what's so good about the morning? I say it's a beautiful and sunny day, you should look forward to having a nice day today they say so what! it's always sunny what's so great about it? we will only get cancer and die from being in the sun all-day  
except for money, it's like they dont care about anything else in their hearts and they see everything around them as something negative and there's no positive outlook from any of them, about anything, I often wonder if I was switched at birth cause my whole family seems to be like this except for me so I wonder how a positive thinking and feeling person ended up born to such a negative thinking and feeling family  
  they cant get happiness from simple things as I do like listening to music and for me thats the simplest thing even if you dont play an instrument
as long as you have a voice you can sing yourself a tune, you can keep yourself company and feel cheerful thats just me, I always have random songs stuck in my head not to mention the various worlds my characters are living in that are always present in my head
as long as I have my imagination I can never get bored or be lonely or miserable as long as I am alive even if I have no money I won't be unhappy thats just me, 
I wake up in the morning I hear birds outside my window it makes me feel good, I see butterflies in the garden I think how beautiful I would imagine I could turn into a butterfly and flutter around the pretty flowers all carefree for two minutes and it puts a smile on my face all morning positive thoughts and feelings  
little things like these, that make me feel happy and keep me going and makes me think life is worth living, hearing my favorite songs in my headphones and singing along with my favorite K-pop bands and dancing to them in my room  
 watching music videos and other content, watching my favorite romantic costume dramas  reading books, manga watching anime I love art and creative works and talented people doing what they are good at whether it is singing or dancing or acting or writing whatever it is I think people who are artistic in general are amazing people 
they are creators who add wonderful fun and interesting things to the world and everyone's perspectives are unique so everything they create is something different and getting to be a part of that culture just by sitting in my room writing makes me happy and feel good and fulfills some part of me that lets me feel content
 it's not something that can be bought with money writing is what I love,
 I was so happy these past months while writing even when my family objects to it and made arguments I didn't let myself get dragged away from it I didn't stop and in my persistence, I was finally able to finish a book so now
I'm over the moon happy that did even if it didn't make me money and might not in the future I am happy just being able to write it and finish it and if anyone reads my story and enjoys it that will make me happy too  
so I am writing this to share my story I hope you dont give up if you are a writer I see writers say they feel burnt out and not have the inspiration to write and it's really hard to write  
my hardest thing is I like writing too much so I dont feel that way I feel sad and upset when I'm not allowed to write instead  
I feel restricted like I'm being locked up and frustrated when I can't write, for me, writing is my freedom, my happy place its a place where I can have all the adventures I want in all kinds of amazing places with really cool lovable friends that I wish were real people and real places I could go to its an escape  
I dont know how it is for other writers but thats how it is for me so thank you for reading this far if you have if you like this book you can check out my others on my profile page thank you for taking the time to read my story hope it entertained you at least a little bit lol.


Back Stories of the Celestial World and Magic World

There are a lot of people who have the common misconception that story is no good if it uses existing tropes and generic plots genre savvy readers are so used to seeing by now.

If people were to be more self-aware, then they would figure out that most popular works are basically re-skinned versions of our favourite overall narratives. Whether it is a quest to save the world or a more personal story, cliches are bound to happen.

However, there is a difference between good cliches and bad ones. The bad ones tend to be an observation of something that is 'tsundere' and then thinking it's totally reasonable to make a character of this character archetype without considering how it fits in with your story. The 'cute girl warming up to you, the main character' is fantasy all otakus fall into once in a while and is something they'd like to read in their fiction. What they don't want is cardboard box with no humanity that turns them this way.

The 'over tv trope analysis' effect happens when you know about a trope but don't seem to understand that it can't be easily added to a story just because you know it exists. Take the Toradora anime as an example: The heroine of the series isn't violent and abrasive because 'that is her archetype', but because there are multiple facets to her life which ended up shaping her to fit that archetype.

Although tropes themselves are like gears in a story that keep the plot moving, the only way to truly write a good story is through 'translating' them to fit the setting and theme of the story your writing.

If you can't add a trope in a way that influences your reader's feelings in one way or another, then it's better not to add it in the first place. After all, no one wants to read an abbreviation of a trope no matter how many creative gimmicks you add on top of it.

Think of Isekai as an example. Though it's become a trend in the community to send people to another world just to replicate how other authors create a sense of immersion for their readers using it. There is a massive difference between the likes of 'In Another World With My Smartphone' and 'Re:Zero In Another World'. The former only using the barebones skeleton of the trope while the latter completely taking advantage of everything the trope entails through adding an element of realism to the story.

The whole reason Natsuki Subaru is well remembered isn't because he's the perfect protagonist but because the writer of the story fully utilised everything about the trope instead of using it just for superficial immersion from a 'normal human from Earth' being transported into a fantasy world.

There is a feeling of 'perfection' added into the story not because it is the perfect story, but because the tropes it added were 'perfectly utilised' to tell the story the Author wanted to tell. Some could say a story isn't fully immersive due to lack of specific explanations and whatnot. However, they miss the point and end up not realising that a good story is one that influences the reader in specific way rather than trying to eat more than it can chew.

Take Steins/Gate as an example: If you were to ask the question of why a satellite that crashed into a building not investigated by the authorities as soon as it happened, then the rest of this thrilling time-travel story falls apart. Contrarily, by focusing more on characters instead, it was able to make the people watching the Anime ignore this plot hole to the point everyone considers it a masterpiece (unlike its dumpster fire of a sequel that was badly written).

Intrigue could be the result of contrived situations such as very specific 'coincidences' happening just for the sake of moving the plot. This may sound bad to do on paper, but it actually helps a lot in making a story more immersive if foreshadowing is done correctly. Other than that, you could say that any story has a certain level of contrivances in it if you looked at it deep enough... My point from saying all this is that contrivances are fine if it is character driven. As long as you know what you are trying to write and have the guts to make artistic choices with how much information you'd keep back or tell the readers, then you'll do great as a writer.

I brought this up many times, but I myself once write an Isekai and purposefully left out the main character's name, looks, and even where on Earth he lived before reincarnating into another world. It was an artistic choice no one understood at first but as they read more of it, the fact that I chose to put emphasis on the most defining traits of his past life while only adding how it changed his decision making skills in his second life did wonders later on.

Let this be a lesson to you all. Even 'Art' can't be about everything. The tools and colours you use is what will define it once your done. No story is liked by all audiences, but that doesn't mean your own story won't be liked if you don't follow 'trends'.

In fact, it's the opposite. The more you try to appeal to everyone, the more generic your story will become. It's best to know what your trying to write, have faith, and only edit once many chapters are done since it is impossible to see if your story is good or not unless you write ten chapters or more.

Well, that's all I got. My point is stop having anxiety attacks and write with a vision in mind before trying to adapt to your audience. Be flexible, but not cowardly, as you NEED to have you own opinions.

Have a nice time writing~! 😀

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

After six days of travel, Feng Yun and his groups have in the mountain range near Maple City.
In front of them, there were many high mountain peaks, the scenery was also very good.
"We come here once again." Yan Qiu said while glancing around. Soon they reached the stone door of Profound Blossom Sect. There were many disciples who were coming and going from Profound Blossom Sect. All of them were wearing the uniform of Profound Blossom Sect.
Although the Profound Blossom Sect was a big sect, it still has tens of thousands of disciples, hundred of elders, and more than twenty Earth Profound Realm experts.
It was quite lively.
"Who are you? This is the gate of the Profound Blossom Sect, address your purpose of visiting the Profound Blossom Sect." There were four disciples of the profound blossom sect were guarding the gate of Profound Blossom Sect, when they saw Feng Yun's group, they were stunned for a while after seeing the appearance of women.
Feng Yun's group attracted the attention of all disciples, there were four women walking in his group, and all of them have a beautiful appearance.
Furthermore, Long Shu was standing out from the mortal world, her appearance was like a fairy, almost made the people who had been staring at her slobber, and their eyes were full of strong greed.
They glanced at Feng Yun unkindly and cursing in their hearts.
Beauty could be a cause of the disaster, this was not wrong at all.
In particular, a woman of the level of a fairy-like Long Shu is more likely to make some guys with worms in their brains commit crimes.
Just as Feng Yun about to show the token given by Tian Mingzhu, a man's voice interfered.
"Misses must have come from the outside, how about I show you around." A good-looking red-haired man comes in front of Feng Yun while waving a white paper fan, with a smile that he thinks is the most handsome. He asked Long Shu and other girls politely, his eyes made no secret of the strong greed.
This person is called Situ Pei, the son of the outer court dean. He was 22 years old, and a peak-stage Foundation Establishment realm  Latent was good, but his personality was no good, and he likes hunting beauty the most.
He was about to go outside the Profound Blossom sect but when his eyes fell onto Feng Yun's group, he changed his heart.
And now there were suddenly four beautiful appeared in front of him, how could he be able to control himself?
People who are only twenty-two years old do not know how many romantic debts they have caused. Had it not been for him to have a grandfather of the Elder of Profound Blossom Sect who had real power in the door, and an outer court dean father wiped his butt, he would not know how many times he had been killed by others.
Long Shu looked at Situ Pei with disgust, he wanted to shoot him flying, but Feng Yun was by her side. She didn't dare to kill humans without his permission for just annoying her.
On the other hand, Yan Qiu and Yan Zilan stared at Situ Pei with some pity. This person must have bad luck today, he dared to offend this rowdy dragon, in their group except for Feng Yun, everyone else most feared by Long Shu.
Feng Yun and his group have restrained their aura. Situ Pei's realm was too low, naturally, he couldn't see the depth of their strength.
Furthermore, his lust has blinded his common senses, he thought that Long Shu is a mortal girl.
"Young Lady, I will take you to my sect to see, where the scenery is the best. My father is dean of the Outer Court, I will introduce you to him." Situ Pei while extending his hand towards Long Shu.
  Just as his hand approached, Long Shu's delicate hand also stretched out.
It's just that instead of putting her hand on Situ Pei's hand, she reached out, but grabbed his arm and said indifferently "Dirty dog paw!"
While she cursed, she used her hand slightly.
Click!
what!
A harsh fracture sounded, followed by a heart-piercing scream. Situ Pei's arm was broken by Long Shu, he dropped to the ground and wailed in pain.
Situ Pei hugged his arm, his face showed pain, cold sweat kept flowing wildly.
"You... you dare to break my arm, nobody can save you now." Situ Pei roared loudly with a furious expression.
"What just happened?"
"That girl has broken Situ Pei's hand in just a second even without using the spirit Qi."
"Powerful but why would create such ruckus on the gate of the sect."
"They have dared to injure the disciple of our sect on the site of the sect, when the elders will hear it they must be very angry."
All disciples have stunned and shocked expressions on their faces, after seeing the condition of Situ Pei. Many male disciples broke out cold sweat when they stared at the Situ Pei, many of them were all thinking about the women of Feng Yun.
"Who would dare to hurt the disciple of my sect in the territory of Profound Blossom sect." Suddenly a loud voice appeared as an old man walked out from the door of Profound Blossom Sect.
"Haha, elders are here, elder Ma immediately calls my father. I want revenge today, nobody will be spared." Situ Pei laughed madly when he saw the elders arrived, he shouted instantly.
"Noisy." Feng Yun flicked his finger, a white shot out from his finger's tip, penetrated the head of Situ Pei. A bloody hole appeared on the forehead of Situ Pei as his life force has extinguished instantly.
He dares to make move on his women, in Feng Yun's eyes, he was already dead meat.
"What?" The old man stunned as well as all dozens of disciples of Profound Blossom Sect exclaimed with surprise.
"Killed, Situ Pei was killed. And he killed on the door of Profound Blossom Sect."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The old man didn't take action immediately, he could not see the real strength of Feng Yun's group. He was only an ordinary outer court elder with Gold Core Realm, he was not an idiot same as Situ Pei who underestimated the strength of Feng Yun's group.
He could tell that Feng Yun's group was not ordinary.
"Notify the elders first." The old man took out the talisman and send the sound transmission to the elders.
"Have you notified the dean?" One of the four disciples who was guarding the door asked the person on the side.
"Notice, it should be coming soon" the other disciple beside him responded.
Sure enough, a middle-aged man over on foot, wearing the gray robe.
He has three points similar to Situ Pei, and he is a Mid-Earth Profound Realm cultivator, which gives him a bit of awe-inspiring aura.
"I have seen the outer court dean!" All the disciples present saluted.
The Middle-aged man ignored everyone, when he looked at the corpse of his, his eyes instantly filled madness.
"Who is... the damn dare to kill my son, I will destroy his family." The middle-aged man rushed to

Hello everyone...
I am Lichuel the author of this webnovel, Faceless Phantom.

I want to say that it has been a good experience so far to write this story.

Looking back, I started writing this story because I wanted to pour my imagination into words. I wanted to see and try how well I can write. But there's also a second reason, it's to let everything out from my mind. Writing this story is my escape from reality.

Yeah, just like Zeroth, I was a shut-in.

This year, I got a job which the pay isn't much, but at least it's an honest work. It's pretty nice and enough to support my own life. Gradually, I become busier and hardly have the time to write.

To be honest, I've already written the ending of this story. I planned it to be around 150-200 chapters. However, from the current chapter, it's gonna take a long way to reach it with my situation. It's unfortunate that it took me 2-3 years to write 55 chapters hahaha

Yeah, it's almost three years now.
Time flies by so fast.

A lot of things change and influence the way how I write the story as well. Recent chapters were rushed since I wrote it impatiently. I really wanted the fight with Beleth to be longer and detailed.

So, what I'm trying to say is... I don't know if I can continue the story. But I do want to finish the story. I really do.

If I do update it, I think I'm just gonna post a bunch of chapters instead. But I won't promise it.

I'm really sorry for everyone who is waiting for this story to continue. I wholeheartedly apologize.

Also, I really appreciate for everyone who stays and read my story.

Especially you Gnark, thank you so much.

I read comments, but I'm sorry if I don't reply. I...have issues lol
I also know a lot of you are silent readers.

For all of you.

Thank you very much for reading.

Please stay healthy.
Please always take care.
I hope you're all always have beautiful days and smile at least once a day.
Keep up the good work.
And thank you for surviving this far.
You're all amazing.

Until next time, if fate decides to let me update this story again.

Farewell... :)

A man had given up his real life. He was one of many NEETs who wished to change their life. A new popular virtual reality game, Heallance, was released. He intended to become a new person inside the game. Thus, he promised to himself that he would never log out. And he was reborn as a player named Zeroth.

Throwing his real life away, Zeroth's new life in artificial world has begun.

After you confirm what genre and topic you wish to write about, it's now time for you as an author to design your settings and write the overall planned outline for your plot. As for why I'm putting these two elements together, that's because these two elements are deeply interconnected and inseparable.
 
When you're writing the overall outline, this is basically coming up with the story's plot. As you write the outline, what you're actually doing is fleshing out the details for your setting.
 
When you're writing a story, of course, you need to first consider where your story will happen, when it happens, who it happens to, and what type of person it happens to. As the story progresses, you also need to consider who the main character will meet in the story, what time and place he or she meets them at, along with who's stronger and who's weaker than the main character…
 
This is why by the time that you're finished with your overall outline, the world's background, various factions, levels, special abilities, treasures, all the important characters… and such settings will be naturally completed during the course of outlining.
 
The reverse is true as well. If you first work on designing the detailed settings instead, then you'll basically end up with an outline for the story's plot and how the main character grows over the story as well.
 
Of course, there's still some differences depending on which angle you start from. However, newcomer authors like you don't need to worry about this. You can simply create based on your personality and whatever you prefer. It doesn't matter whether you start from the settings or the outline. You can even do both at the same time.
 
For newcomer authors like you, there's only five points that are critically important for you to understand.
 
1.      Having an overall outline isn't absolutely necessary, but having one is always better than not having one
 
Theoretically speaking, even if you didn't prepare an overall outline, it might not affect the progress of you writing your novel at all. There are some authors out there that simply write whatever comes into their mind and go with the flow.
 
Of course, this is all just a best-case scenario in theory. For the great majority of authors out there, once your story's plot exceeds your planned outline... 

Your outline will help your story stay on track in the early stages, but once you reach the mid and late stages, all sorts of problems often appear, such as too many plotlines all at once, self-contradictory plotlines, or writer's block…
 
At such a time, authors will typically regret not creating a more detailed outline, but it's already too late now. Actually, overall outlines have more uses than you think.
 
Since webnovels are typically longer than normal novels, they take much longer to write as well. Typically, it takes an average author several months or even longer to finish writing everything in their overall outline. By the time that they're finish writing everything in their overall outline, most authors will have new ideas and insights into what they want to write. Once they combine their new ideas with their original outline, in a way, this gives them two sources of inspiration. It's basically the equivalent of two people working together, and on top of that, these two people know exactly what each other are thinking.
 
It's easy to see how this can be helpful in improving the quality of your novel.
 
Apart from this, while creating an overall outline, the author can also discover many topics or problems with the settings and correct them in time.
 
To give an extreme example, if you're having a great difficulty with writing your overall outline and don't know what to do with your own plot, this proves that there's a large problem with your plot. You should either make major changes, or delete this part of your plot entirely.
 
So, newcomer authors definitely shouldn't overlook the uses of having an overall outline. No matter if you have a good or bad outline, a simple or a detailed one, as long as you have one, that's good.
 
What needs to be noted is that only outlines that have been written out truly count as outlines.
 
Even if you as an author have a very detailed outline, and even if you've solidly memorized every single plot point in your outline, any outline that hasn't been written into your novel doesn't count as a true outline. That's because when you actually start writing, you'll discover that what you finally end up writing will always have differences from what you envisioned.
 
2.      You need to finish your outline, but it doesn't need to be complete
 
Thinking about your outline is equivalent to thinking about your novel's plot. You need to consider both the beginning and the end. You also need to think about everything that the main character experiences from the beginning to the end of the story.
 
If your outline isn't finished, but only half-finished, you won't even be able to predict the storylines that come later, which will cause you to have difficulties writing your plot once you finish the beginning stages. This is basically the same as not having an outline at all.
 
Still, there's no need for us to make the outline as detailed as possible from the very beginning, with so many specific scenarios for all your plots. The reason for this is quite simple—none of us know just how long our novels will turn out to be in the end.
 
A story that's written with the intent of becoming a commercial product needs to be sufficiently long enough right from the planning stage. The longer your potential story, the better. But actually, how many words it finally ends up with depends on how well your story performs.
 
If your story is incredibly popular and performs well in the market, then we can consider writing it for as long as possible. However, if your story obviously isn't popular with readers, then you can consider ending your story in a timely fashion at an appropriate point in the plot so that you can think of a new story instead. That would be a wiser decision if you wish to become a professional author.
 
Of course, when you're only in the outlining stage, it's impossible for you as a newcomer author to know how readers will react to your novel. Precisely because of this, you need to have a flexible writing plan. What this means is that you should have an outline that's detailed in the beginning and general near the end. For the beginning of your story, you should have as detailed an outline as possible, while for the middle and especially the later parts of your story, you only need some general ideas. All you need is to consider the overall development of the plot so that you know what direction to take your storyline in.
 
For example, maybe you planned that the beginning of your novel will be approximately 80,000 words, and you've prepared a 4,000-word outline for just the beginning. In that case, your outline for the next 80,000 words, the middle of your story, might only need 3000 words, and the meat of your story, another 240,000 words, might have an outline that's less than 1000 words.
 
Of course, as you continue writing your story, you should constantly update your outline as well. You should complete your outline for the next 80,000 words before you finish writing the first 80,000 words.
 
3.      Your settings need to be constantly updated

Just like writing an outline, you should first come up with the basic settings before you even begin writing, which includes your world background, main character's personality, power levels, and so on.
 
More specific settings, such as a powerful artifact that appears in the story, can be added as you write your story.
 
Unlike an outline, you don't need to fully plan out all of your settings at the very beginning. It's perfectly acceptable to think of new settings while you're writing.
 
However, newcomer authors need to note that while it's okay to come up with new settings as you write, you should write these settings down and add them to your outline or settings document as you write.
 
This is to help yourself check your own settings later in the future. Otherwise, a novel that reached over one million words and has lasted for one year or longer might cause you as an author to completely forget about something you wrote before in the past. It's even quite common to make a mistake when writing about the items that the main character possesses. Yet, there will always be a sharp-eyed reader or two that catches the author out in a misstep.
 
If you have a very detailed document on your settings, not only will you be able to greatly reduce your own plot continuity errors, you'll also be able to look through your settings whenever you have writer's block and find some inspiration in a side character that you have already forgotten about or some item that was mentioned before but never used again.
 
4.      It's better for your settings to be cliché
 
Here, this means the systems and names that you use for your settings. For example, the names and levels you use for a martial arts society.
 
Many newcomer authors will mistakenly think that using already existing well-known settings will make their novel seem too cliché, causing them to want to be as "unique" as possible. These authors will use their imaginations to come up with all sorts of fictional vocabulary words, which in their minds will make their novels "stand out." These newcomer authors don't realize that this is the worst possible way to write a novel. In the great majority of situations, this will have the opposite effect from intended.
 
A new original novel that you write should be a new interpretation or story about some specific genre or story type. How to make your novel stand out depends on the conflicts you create in your story and how the main character resolves them. As for coming up with new vocabulary words and names for your novel, even if you make them sound really cool, or make some modified slang words, it's almost never a good thing for you.
 
The reason for this can also be understood in my article about how to write the beginning of your story. By doing so, the author is placing more burden upon the readers to understand a larger amount of information.
 
There will always be other already existing words that you could have used, which are easily understood by all your readers. Instead, your readers now need to spend their time and effort on reading your explanations. Obviously, readers aren't here to read your technical manuals or info dumps. The more explanations that you have in your novel, the lower your novel's appeal and flow will become. But, if you don't add any explanations for your self-created words at all, the readers won't even understand what's going on.
 
This is why newcomer authors should avoid this useless type of "creativity" as much as possible. You should simply rely on settings that all readers are familiar with instead.
 
5.      The storyline should be pushed forward by using conflicts
 
Many newcomer authors will often develop writer's block when planning their outline or working on their novel.
 
Sometimes, this is because the author has made their storyline too messy. But most of the time, it's because the author feels like there's nothing to write about, or doesn't know what they should make the main character do. The author has no idea how to continue their own story.
 
In order to deal with writer's block, or in other words, how to push your storyline alone, the answer is actually incredibly simple.
 
You can answer this question using only one word – Conflicts!
 
Actually, the critical element of all webnovels can be summed up into one word – conflicts. For example, leveling is the desire or need of the main character to become stronger, which is a conflict between the main character and his or her own current weakness.
 
And since there is a conflict, you must resolve the conflict. And so, your main character wants to cultivate to become stronger, which means he needs to travel around the world in order to find cultivation methods…
 
All sorts of conflicts will both push forward your storyline as well as create numerous climaxes for your readers. It can be said that how you design your conflicts is the very foundation of writing any novel, not just a webnovel.
 
As for a more detailed analysis on how to design your story's conflicts, please read my intermediate-level article on the topic. For newcomer authors like you, you simply need to understand this concept, and know that you should keep coming up with new conflicts whenever you're having trouble keeping up with your own storyline. Try finding potential conflicts from plots, characters, and items you've already used, or forcefully introduce a new element into your story that creates a new conflict.
 
This can be said to be one of the most basic techniques of planning your storyline.

everyone, I am sorry but I have decided to drop this story, for good. I don't see a point in writing it anymore, I don't have the time either, I could spend the time I write this doing more useful things.
This story was meant to spread ideas and all but now I feel like it has turned into wish-fulfillment, I don't like where it is heading.
if anyone feels like it could have been better or achieved something, you can rewrite or continue the story with the image in your mind and post it on your profile I don't care about it. 
I will continue writing my original (A Journey to Eternity) and post chapters once in a while.
As for other reasons that I dropped it:
1. Writing fanfiction has no use for me personally, I originally wanted my ideas to be known and my writing skills to improve with writing this and since it clearly is not anymore then I will stop.
2. the very Few retarded Readers out there. there is a simple way to say this if you don't like a story then stop reading it, nobody cares about your opinion, don't share it. it will make the Author's mood gloomy no matter the person and result in him dropping the story, especially fanfiction because most Author's don't make money out of it and are most likely writing it out of passion and admiration for the original story or a character or etc. you ruin this feeling by flaming them, if you wanna share your opinion speak with logic and reason and help the Author become better by giving your opinion/advice in a respectful manner, I can go into a long discussion about this matter but lets stop it here.
3. the point of every story is to teach us how to be better, Romance at love and understanding the opposite sex, sci-fi at science and possible future of our technology, anime and things like that help open your mind and creativity sometimes they teach useful life lessons too, I can go on and on about this. my fanfic didn't have that feeling to it, any story that teaches nothing useful to its readers is just wasting the reader's time, it may make the reader feel good but in fact, is ruining their life by wasting their time for nothing. Having fun reading is not the most important part of it, the most important part is to learn and evolve. Wish-fulfillment stories have only two uses that I can think of, making the reader feel good about himself and heal some psychological problems, I don't wanna sin like that against people who support my story.
4. The problem with Webnovel's system is the fact that it forces you to have the feeling to write, I don't know how it does this but I reached a point where I couldn't stop writing, this caused alarm bells to ring in my mind and it made me rethink writing Fanfic. this could be only me though because when I don't write in Webnovel it causes me to feel this pressure to post a chapter.
that is pretty much it, I don't want to waste any more of your precious time so this is it.
Don't waste any more spirit stones on this Fanfic, it is dead for good.
If you enjoyed this Story, Check out my A journey to Eternity, I am trying to write a unique Xianxia story, I suggest you read it when it hits 30 chapters because till then I am considering how the plot and ending should turn out, what information and teachings I want it to share with the reader and etc.
THE END.

A teenager complained to god because living on the earth was so restricting and there existed no adventures or anything interesting in the world except entertainment like anime, games, movies, etc. 
"I wish I could go on an adventure like those fantasies and be a godlike character". 
A God took pity on him, Granted him his wish not knowing that in the future it shall cause unimaginable chaos.

Some of the authors on Webnovels were inspired to write their own stories after reading the works of famous authors. Perhaps some of them believed that they could do a better job. Some of them ran out of things to read, so they decided to write the "story" that they want to read. While others… just want to write a story that they think will be popular to the readers.

Ironically, the stories that they had written also inspired other readers to write their own stories as well. Hopefully, this cycle will never end. So that the future generations will be able to read new and exciting stories that will show them a world filled with sword, magic, cultivation, and Lo--

Xandarx: There's a reason for them to be famous as they have their style

Zenith: lol.

Xandarx: You can see it from their work, it's true. Like their character has embedded into the book. This is what make them different I think.

Zenith: I know. But not everyone is as great as you show them to be. They learn from their previous works While we are still struggling to finish one.

Xandarx: Yeah, I know.

Zenith: They move on and get better that's where the difference lies. If you see any CN author who made it big, you can see that they had their share of experience before getting there, or for that matter, any author in the Western world.

Murakami: Not necessarily publishing houses only accept works they think will sell.

Zenith: The ones who get it big the first time are rare.

Murakami: So you might not see how they built up to their debut novel. Authors can have 15-20 scrapped novels b4 they debut, and the public don't get to read a single one.

Reili: Yikes.

Xandarx: Yeah.

Zenith: That doesn't make the author lose his experience of writing those scrapped novels that's the point I was making.

Murakami: But it also means that it's more like hit and miss.

Reili: True because they don't get the feedback from fans.

Murakami: They get limited feedback from an agent/editor who doesn't want to read their work.

Zenith: Yeah, but it surely is better than nothing.

Murakami: And they're left with a bunch of abstract and vague advice that they have no idea how to implement.

Reili: If they don't enjoy it, the feedback won't be as insightful.

Zenith: They can learn from their mistakes from reading their own works.

Reili: Well…

Zenith: If possible, from platforms.

Murakami: If they knew how to do that they'd fix it and publish it.

Reili: It would make the process easier if someone who enjoys the book to give them better feedback.

Zenith: It's called rewriting from scratch, and it takes a tonne of time if the author feels more interested in some other idea of his, he would do that.

Reili: I suppose so since the author being inspired will bring his book along.

VKBoy: If the ones giving review are professional editors, then they don't necessarily have to have read your work with immersion because their suggestions will still likely cover the basic flaws that amateurish writers usually make.

Reili: Point taken.

Zenith: Yeah.

Murakami: @VKBoy if they spot those errors they'll put down the manuscript after the first page

Reili: Then again, its a little bit like movie critics. They may hate the movie, but fans love it.

Zenith: Yeah.

Murakami: And then send a reply saying, "Don't send in another manuscript until you learn how to write properly."

Zenith: Professionals in the said field prefer not taking risks. Especially in movies, but books, you can keep trying.

VKBoy: Well, if there are errors in the first page itself, that's a whole different thing, lol.

Reili: True.

Murakami: No, but a good editor can tell the writing quality from just the first page even if you've crafted it perfectly, they can just tell that the rest will be shit.

Reili: You have to also take into account of one punch man. The original comic looks terrible, but the redraw made it amazing.

Zenith: That's smartness of the creator.

VKBoy: Well, in one punch man's case, it got attention from the companies after it got popular in the online communities.

Reili: So a persons writing and grammar may be terrible, but with a little editing, the story itself could be amazing.

Zenith: You can let the editor do the Shi*t and focus on your story, It works.

Overlord Venus: Yeah, solo leveling is a good example. The story is bland.

Reili: But it would also help if the author re-reads the edit to make sure the essence of their story is still there.

HavenlyJeep: Essence and core backbone.

Zenith: @Reili It depends on what the author wants, and how much work he is willing to put in.

Reili: @Zenith true.

VKBoy: Of course, some editors just butcher the style of the author.

Reili: Same but honestly I just use Grammarly and the read aloud function in word to make sure the chapter makes sense.

Zenith: You can learn about writing, grammar, editing if you truly want. It is just the question of, would you?

Reili: I'm more into thinking up ideas and writing them than editing.

VKBoy: Editing is also writing, mate. Rewriting is where real writing lies.

Zenith: It's a skill in writing a story, but your choice.

Reili: Point taken.

Murakami: You can't be a writer without being an editor.

Zenith: Editing it yourself can help you keep the heart of the story.

Reili: That being said, the more I write, the better my basic grammar became.

Zenith: You will keep the feels right.

Reili: Editing is now part of the process.

Zenith: And not make it just sound or look better, you give what the story wants
And that is a great thing.

Reili: Creative freedom.

Zenith: I want to learn grammar and revise what I learned.

VKBoy: @Zenith Learning grammar will take years, so take it slow and steady. That way, memories stick with you for longer times.

Reili: I do read mtl sometimes since I can't wait for chaps, but then I find myself reading in broken English and must stop.

Murakami: I'd like to correct that statement VKBoy. Learning grammar is easy
learning "usage" is hard.

VKBoy: lol, if you read mtl, your IQ drops. Believe me, this can affect a person's writing skill in the long run.

Reili: Definitely, which is why I stopped.

Author's Notes

I'm sure you've read this a few times in the previous chapters, but I had been reading MTL chapters for the past few years. I usually read "Completed" stories, and most of them are around 2-4k chapters each. Of course, I read the translated chapters first. After I reach the latest translated chapter, I will immediately jump to *cough* Google Translate.

Yeah~ I know. Reading chapters through Google Translate was the most…epic mistake I did in the past. I've finished World Defying Dan God, Battle Through the Heavens uhh…and a few more novels using Google Translate.

In the later years, I discovered lnmtl.com, which gave me a better translation (at least the names of the characters are not written like Cloud Che instead of Yun Che (Against the Gods). 

To be perfectly honest, If I didn't start writing, I would have continued to read these machine translated chapters even now. Reading MTL works if English is not your first language.

This is something that those with English as their main language will scoff at. However, for those who just want to read. As in reading something without worrying about anything else, then they won't care even if it's a machine translated chapter. As long as they will be able to read the NEXT chapter, then it's all good.

This is also the reason why I admire translators. If not for them, these stories that we are not aware of will not be able to grace us with their presence. I would like to thank the translators of my favorite novels like Lord of Mysteries, Release that Witch, Against the Gods, Cultivation Chatgroup, Second Coming of Avarice, and so many other titles that I won't be able to list here.

To my beloved readers, if there will come a time when you feel like writing a story of your own and you're reading machine translated chapters, please stop now. I'm saying this for your own good. 

I understand how you feel. Believe me I do, but for the sake of the story you're going to write in the future, heed my advice. Stop now, while you still have the chance. Learning how to write from scratch with broken English is a painful process.

Then again, if you find an editor who is a masochist, consider yourself lucky. Let them clean up your mess for you, so you can focus on writing your story, and learn the art of writing while you write.
