  • In DELETING ACCOUNT

    So apparently, once you've created a novel and are an "author", Webnovel won't allow you to delete your acount anymore. They wouldn't even do it even when I already emailed them about it.

    THIS IS BULLSHIT. A user has the right to delete their account and their "novels" (w/c webnovel says you "own", but actually don't since you can't delete it once you create it) on a platform if they want to.

    This is a policy issue, NOT a technical issue. Being a veteran programmer myself, I know for a fact that CRUD functionality is a very very BASIC operation, and deleting an account and its associated "novels" can in fact be done programmatically or via database admin operation.

    Again, this whole thing is BULLSHIT.

      Hi There!

      Pinoy here :)

      I'm currently doing a fantasy novel, or as I like to call it, magic fiction (as opposed to science fiction). I'm using a hard magic system in my story, which is loosely based off of Hermetics, a real-world occult system -- which is why I consider my story 'magic fiction'.

      Currently only has two chapters, but each chapter exceeds 3k words. I'm already working on the 3rd chapter, which i hope to finish soon.

      You can't tell from the current chapters, but I intend to bring the setting down to present-day Metro Manila eventually.

      Anyway here's my novel:

      TCOATA

      Title: The Chronicles of Atum the Annihilator
      Status: Ongoing
      Genre: Fantasy / Magic Fiction
      Synopsis:
      Enslaved and forced into gladiatorial magic combat, Atum must fight his way through demonic beasts and hideous monsters, warmages of every race and type, Imperial soldiers, corrupt politicians, ambitious royalty, and diabolical dictators, in order to ultimately gain his freedom.

      Follow along as Atum tries to survive long enough to analyze and break down every hard magic system he encounters in the space-faring magic-based Imperium, in a quest to break his own magical bonds and finally return home.

      That is, if he can remember who he really is, and where "home" is exactly.

      Thanks for this thread!

                • In How do you write your magic system?

                  I fictionalize real-world occult systems, particularly Hermetics. I don't like using ceremonial magic in stories, though because they don't work so well in fictional combat, so all the Golden Dawn-ish ritual juju is out. I do like Franz Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics, though, and most of the stuff about the four elements there is easy to adapt to fiction, so that's where I get my systems from.

                  From there, though, I try to extrapolate to other magic applications, like shape shifting or summoning magic etc (w/c I guess goes back to ritual magic, but as long as it serves the story...).

                  Since I base my systems off of real-world occultism, i guess mine falls under the 'hard magic' category.

                  And that's about it, at least for me, as far as magic systems go.
