Hello again everyone!!
So I was thinking and I have this weird feeling that my cover and the title isn't going to match the story as it progresses so would it be a bad thing to change them? I could leave a notice in the story as an auxiliary chapter that the story used to be titled as such so it doesn't confuse people who've already read it.(Honestly, when I first started writing The Enigma I hadn't fleshed out the story very well and regrettably, I had jumped into it without properly thinking it through so now I feel like neither the title nor the cover is going to match the story much soon)

If you guys think so then I'd love to try it out on this platform then, don't know if it'll work out but it would be a lot of fun to go back to that style. I'll get right to planning something soon!
SweetsTomato I'd actually read a story like that, I'd rather read about a character's struggle through their adventure rather than have them blast a ray of energy through every adversary. It's what makes it interesting in my opinion. Like having to struggle to deal with the lack of technology and modern medicine and figuring out how to adapt to the change would be awesome especially if the methods are creative.

I wasn't even planning on writing a reincarnation story, it wasn't really my thing. I got bored with the trope after reading a couple stories that practically started the same. Die, wake up, get an OP system (may or may not be unconventional), proceed to rule the world. I'm not the biggest fan but I'm open to reading one if it manages to differentiate from the other stories in an interesting way.Thanks that's really nice of you, tbh I've deviated a bit from my style lately so I understand where you're coming from. I usually have a lot of dark undertones and a lot sharper language but I have absolutely no idea what happened when I started writing The Enigma. I can't say I'm satisfied with how I managed to write it but hopefully I'll be able to settle in easier after some time. I can't tell how it's gonna work with the readers though if I end up writing the way I usually do. I'm still trying to get used to the Eastern style of fantasy. With the flying, the Qi, the majestic men with long hair and all that.
I really like hearing feedback though because that way I'd know where I am at the moment with whatever I'm doing. So thankssss~Guyyys, I was wondering, is reincarnation really that important for Wuxia and Xianxia stories?? There's so much of reincarnation I'm starting to wonder whether it's a requirement to be in the story...
I agree with you on that one, it would be best to scatter the information I think, instead of dumping it all out at once, might be a bit overwhelming for the reader.
What if you have like an auxiliary chapter as reference for locations, important notes that the reader should know about the system or the world and such? Would that be a better idea?
Guys I was wondering, is information dumps a good thing? I see that in a lot of stories where the writer just dumps out a whole lot of information about their world when one of the characters mentions it. I suppose I'd understand if it were described in dialogue too but it's just the monologue of the main character. Any thoughts? Also is information dumps better or finding out as the story progresses better?
( eg; Through dialogue between characters that aren't familiar with a certain part of their world so a character who is familiar explains it to the clueless character) For world-building I mean.

Heyyo, I use a website called Quotev (which I already have an account for), this website has a book cover creation option which I used to add the text and stuff to my cover. Then I used a simple image resizing website to change the dimensions! You could just google "online image resizer" or something and try some out.
Image resizer << This is the one I use to resize my covers once I'm done with it :D
Thank you! I'll try to fix the text wall thing hehe, I was planning on editing that since once I published it the text was just a giant block... Oh well! I'll do my best! ೕ(・ㅂ・ )
SweetsTomato Thank you so much! I appreciate the input!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
