  • In Need help world building a CN novel.

    First of all, sorry for the late reply and thank you for your explanation.

    I think I like your story already. What matters to world building though is that it needs a bit of time to iron the details.
    I personally hate it when authors start bringing things from their arses just because they didn't plan enough for either a world lore or MC powers.
    My advice is to take your time. Rushing is never good, that is if you enjoy the process.
    If it seemed tedious then just make it as simple as possible so it won't come to bite you back later.
    About the MC, I honestly won't mind someone with tragic life as long as he could have some happy moments in between.
    Just keeping the pace from a tragic incident to another would most likely repulse readers.
    You should try to control the pace in between so you won't fall into the cliché of the always miserable, unlucky MC.
    One last thing is that you said you would write 50 chapters before posting...
    That I honestly wouldn't recommend unless you were a fast writer.
    Posting your chapters after writing 20 or so would help a lot by motivating you from the feedback you would get and also your readers may notice some mistakes or plot holes.
    Well, unless you have someone besides you that would read your book and provide opinion.

    That's just my opinion though so take it with a grain of salt, no grains of salt.

    Anyway, keep writing. Looking forward to seeing your novel 😊😊

    Hmm...honestly, it's difficult to reply to your question, but I am gonna try my best. It's been ages since I read CN novels though, so I may be a bit outdated.
    About the world building, I think you should write whatever you have in mind. Just don't divert too much from the standard CN worlds if you want it to be the typical cultivation story.
    You know, martial art schools, sects, clans, spirit beasts, and some magical herbs.
    Generally, countries although ruled by kings and emperors, they are actually ruled by the powerful sects either in a visible manner or secretly in the background, or at least that's what I read before. You can try and divert from the norm here.
    Also, I always read about MC who start from the bottom. Lower world, weak clan, no cultivation to be mentioned. It's too cliché, so just a suggestion, but you can try and break out of the norm in this case.
    Anyway, I realized that I actually didn't have any useful idea and just blabbering here…sorry, I guess.
    About making your MC have more depth, that will depend on what kind of depth you are talking about. Personality? Talent? Bloodline? That honestly will depend on your plot and character creation, but I am happy to help if you could specify more…not that I can offer much anyway.

      • In My story says story does not support voting

        I don't really know the exact procedures but I think it needs to be vetted or verified...? I don't know...something along those lines by WN.
        I also read somewhere that you need more than 4k words or something...
        Just keep writing mate and it will support voting eventually.
        Good luck!!

        • In Looking for an Outline Template

          Hi! New author here, well trying to be at least.
          As the title said I am looking for an outline template for my novel.
          I looked around in the net but I wasnt satisfied with what I found so if any author saw this post, I hope you can tell me where could I find something like that...

          • In Contract

            You either write about 50k words I think and then WN will contact you if your novel is worth the contract.
            If they did not contact you by that time then you should contact one of their editors yourself. I dont really know the exact procedures but you should get in touch with some author here or on discord server to get the details.

            Good luck!!

            • In What’s one trope that no matter what, you’re never able to get into it?

              Face-slapping.
              I just can not understand why anyone would write something like that.
              I think it is fine if it was done in moderation like two or three times in the whole novel, but then sometimes I find this BS about MC just going around faceslapping young masters and some rich second generation who, for some reason, are the epitome of bastardry...Is that even a word? I dont know...Anyway, I hate it so much!! but unfortunately all chinese novels are filled with this crap.
              Now even some original authors are imitating this BS and it is getting harder to even find something to read in this site...

              racketyrecounter

              The f*ck are you talking about?
              Being an author is a job like any other. Some may enjoy their jobs and cherish it and some are just doing it to gain income.
              What's so wrong with that?
              I bet 30 cents that you actually never worked in your life, that's why you can't understand that just enjoying your work and having some attachment and emotion to it may not be for everyone.
              Anyway, there is a contract in place and readers have to pay to read, that's a fact. Having an emotional attachment to your novel is not going to change anything.
              Seriously why am I even writing this...

              • In Contract Question

                I am not an author so I may be wrong but as far as I know if your story reached more than 50k words and WN didn't contact you then you should contact one of their editors yourself on Inkstone platform maybe?
                I think I remember someone on the forum saying that they applied for the contract themselves not long ago so you should look into that.
                You may want to contact one of the authors active on the forum and I am sure they would answer your questions.
                Unlike many others, I think that WN contract isn't that bad actually if your novel was on the mediocre to good side.
                Good luck and keep writing!

                • In IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH AUTHORS .. WHY ALWAYS HAREM ?

                  Kirisuna1

                  Unfortunately I am going to tell you what you said last.
                  "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN DON'T READ IT"
                  I mean seriously though, I am not a fan of harem or romance either, but this is a free writing site, and anyone can write what they want. You, as a reader, need to choose what to read. There is even a NO Harem tag for this purpose so just don't read those novels.
                  Or maybe just look for another site, the novels here are mostly mediocre, except few anyway.

                      If you are gonna use the same world, characters, setting...etc I think it would be called a fanfic and unfortunately u can't monetize it.
                      You can though try changing the setting and the world structure also don't use the original character of the show, you are a writer after all, try to be creative a little.

                      Basically you need to restructure it so that it won't be recognized as Fate anymore, just a similar work or something because in our days a lot of similar stories are floating around and it is hard to find anything original anymore.

                      At least that's what I think and I am not an expert so you probably should ask a more experienced person.

                              Still haven't published it yet, I started writing it as just an enjoyment while also to improve my writing since I am preparing an original novel, but I actually grew attached to this Fic, so I decided to edit it well and iron some details before publishing it.

                              I will make sure to send you a link as soon as it is ready.

                                  I made my MC weak at first then with constant training and hurdles he became strong enough in MHA so stripping him from his hard-earned power is kinda unfair of me
                                  But thanks for the suggestion, I will try to nerf him in a reasonable manner so I can have some development in the next world.

                                      Actually I already counted for the Gods thing so it shouldn't be a problem.
                                      What I was worried about is His level and Strength compared to other Adventurers so thank you for the answer as although I read Danmachi as well I couldn't pinpoint just how strong high-leveler there as they didn't have much action.

                                        • In Need help with my Fanfic!!

                                          So; I am writing a Fanfic about anime world traveling and started with MHA and after a lot of development the MC reached Allmight level of strength.
                                          The second world I planned to take him in is Danmachi and I was wondering about the strength difference and how would he fare in the new world because I am having difficulty trying to connect the two power systems with each other.

                                          Any suggestion about how strong he would be or how much his level is gonna be?

                                          Thank you in advance for your answers !!
