backstory in first chapter, it kinda suck, espically if its a sad one. it feels like its there so you can get some pity points for the MC (mane charatere)
bad directing. some people slag and put out stories they know are full of mistakes with a bunch of excuses dont do that.
and dont do a CC(costume charatere) only chapter.
no choices is also a no for me. I dont expect big impact full ones. but I do want some and outfit choice do not count
what I do like is a good plan story. where the story has a good flow and make sense. if a story is just random events or it jumps from place to place it can be pretty bad
Also I would like to recomand a youtube channel called terrible writhing advice. the videos are about what NOT to do in a story, and they are pretty funny
I definitely agree with a lot of these. I hate it when stories dedicate one chapter just for you customize the MC and Mcâs entire family on their momâs side and then their dadâs side then their best friendâs family and Iâm like nope nope nope, Iâm not doing this. Sometimes I donât even like customizing the Love Interest, just my MC. Sometimes Iâm content with how they look and just go with the flow of things.
If youâre attempting at a comedy, or any story for that matter, donât make the MCâs only character trait loving food. I REPEAT DONâT MAKE THE MCâS ONLY CHARACTER TRAIT LOVING FOOD Nobody wants to see the MC obsess over bagels, pizza donuts etc. Itâs overused, cliche, basic and it makes the reader dislike the MC because sheâs most likely trying to be quirky and not like other girls.
Tip: I prefer confident MCâs who can prove that they donât become âwEaK iN tHeIr kNeeSâ when the LI appears but at the same time, donât make the MC reek of confidence - itâs not a good look when you think youâre above everyone else.
Cliches
Weâre tired of the same quirky girl getting the mafia, gang leader, drives a motorcycle, werewolf, vampire, crown prince of england, magic wizard.
We donât want your âFalling in love with __________.â
We donât want your âPregnant by the ___________.â
We donât want your âAccidental pregnancy by the mafia, gang leader, drives a motorcycle, werewolf, vampire, crown prince of england, magic wizard who is also my teacher and the most popular and hottest boy in the school but we fall in love anyways because who wouldnât.â
I could rant on about cliches but youâll be reading until you reach the age of 75âŠ
Tip: Itâs really simple. If youâve seen it before then donât use it.
I didnt say that, I said dont do a cc only chapter, I dont do cc, I dont care how mc look.
though I will give you an advice on cc or no cc
first I find limited stupid, unleash its like you are using body overlays so it need to be this skin colour.
if you decide not to have CC you will hear complains from people, some even refuse to read a story with out. so I thinks its a thing you really shall think about. can you handle the rude comments about and are the reason for it worth it, if not adding cc you need to add it up to readers. is the missing cc because her look is importent to the story, will it have a big impact. or will it not matter, are you using body overlays and art scenes, if not I do recomand cc
Haha no itâs all good actually! I really appreciate it. And I completely agree about the food thing!
My story is called Shattered Souls, howâs that title?
Yess! I hate when the LI has way too much power over the MC but then again, I hate when the MC is cocky, rude and is in love with herself and wants everything perfect. The only exception iâll make to someone is Sharpay Evans and Ryan.
