mysterious_being and no need for it. i saw my number of ps and thought that i won't be able to catch up with the rank one anyway so i just decided to pick a novel to vote. and besides, as of now, you are guaranteed to be at least rank 6. the others hadn't reached the 10k words quota anyway.

      Reinesse I have no other way besides focusing on studying.... The career path I chose requires a heck lot of time and effort and the competition in my place is, I can just describe it in numbers.
      The exam I want to give after a year, has 15,00,000 other students competing for some 36,000 government college seats, so you can see how low the probability is of me getting into a reputed college.

      This got really boring cries

          Mavislin11 :sweat_smile: I'm sorry, just wanted to say, I don't think you've reviewed? Or maybe it's a bug 🤔. Nvm that, js post a review if ya get time, I'm off to read yr book now :smile_cat:

              NatsumeRikka Reinesse Let's just put an end to this (though I'm the one who started it) .... We all work really hard. We are hard working students who study as well as write stories and enter contests. I'm proud of us!!

                    mysterious_being First thing about writing is - Write because you want to write.
                    Although there are many genres available here and there are some genres which do better than others, you really need to pick the one which you feel comfortable.

                    Also if you are purely doing is for Web novel purpose then maybe you need to adhere to the following things-
                    a) Timeliness of chapter release
                    b) Regularity - don't miss out on updates
                    c) Nice long chapters to keep readers happy
                    d) A nice lucid style of writing

                    But I would like to stress on Grammar as well because sometimes that becomes a mood killer, even if you have really great stuff. Apart from that just believe in yourself and keep writing. You need to be self-motivated too because it's all about persistence here.

                        niharikabhol I'm not here for just WN purpose, so it's fine. I've gotten better at accepting these weird ways in which WN works. Thanks for the help though 😄

                            mysterious_being ReinesseI didn't have an option either. When u have tuitions/cram school every day of your 'supposedly' vacation, u don't really have a choice to do anything but study. Not to forget dem damned tests. 😭

                                NatsumeRikka If being an eleventh grader sucks, believe me, being a 12th grader sucks even more.😥
                                regretting life's decisions after taking science stream ( not really though; I love science, but do not like studying much ) 😅

                                    Although I’m still in school (college) and likely planning to start my masters right after graduation, I’ll just this to all ye struggling high schoolers or middle or elementary schoolers (are those even on here? XD) that this current time you’re living could very well be the best time of your life before you meet a lonelier, more burdensome, quiet hell. Reach college and a year or so later you’ll be hit by the reality truck and have to worry about financial responsibility—jobs, supporting oneself independently... This isn’t to stress you out but hopefully get you to enjoy it best you can? Lol, can’t believe the day when I say to enjoy high school. I feel like some old person haha!

                                    I guess we should enjoy the time we have regardless of the circumstances. .....

                                      i second the motion since i'm already experiencing half of that college burden. living away from parents aka dorm, job, and budgeting. it really isn't easy since it has been two years and it's still hard for me to like... uh, make myself study (it's always the hardest part) and budget sometimes. not to scare you guys but you guys can do it!

                                          Reinesse Chryiss I try to think of enjoying studying (I do love it when I am not pressurized sigh) but due to a lot of competition and burden of getting into the best (which means the one with highest scholarship) college, I sometimes find myself being forced to study.
                                          I'm still making myself comfortable with all the burdens (which are nothing except studying; I still live off of my parents ashamed) and look forward to what comes next!!
                                          Despite all of this, I'm really excited to enter college next year and look forward to living independently!

                                              Chryiss Looking back towards my school days, I realise that they form the best chunk of my life till now. Even though I'm not in contact with most of my middle school friends, I have great memories and experiences. This phase of life is really complicated, since I am really eager to go to college, but I think I'll miss school a lot.

                                                  mysterious_being It really is complicated. This point of life has been the strangest time for me yet. It's like puberty all over again but multiplied because now as an adult you're (supposedly XD) smarter and wiser. Thinking too much is more burdensome than not thinking at all. Before there was always an immediate goal, but now it's like I have my life flashing before me while still being alive lol. I think I've gotten over most of the hump, but that doesn't mean that I accepted it or that it got any better. Everyone's situation is different. For me, I'm going downhill, but I at least learned how to jog and walk instead of roll.

                                                    I'm not ashamed of living off my parents' money. I agree I'm still too young to be independent. I'll gladly take their support till college, and after I finish my degree, I can consider further studies and jobs. I don't think I can get a job while I'm underage. My parents definitely won't allow me to.

                                                      NatsumeRikka lol, my parents said no when i wanted to work then two months later, a sum of money was deposited in my mom's bank account. then they were like some asura "you dare defy me!?" but they can't do anything anyway.

                                                          Reinesse Ahahahah, that's great in a way. Tho being laid back and js studying still feels better for me. I would be that one person, too lazy to go to work
