Personally I generally don't describe characters much, mostly because it's hard to design them, so I don't think you need one. You should probably make a document for your self, or just an unpublished chapter where you can keep track of anything you've put in, so you don't add in that he has...

Agreed, given that this is something people use to save their place, it's super important to see where people are paying attention to.

Okay, but when you look at a chapter, you can see how many people have read it, so you don't need to use favorites to "guess" how many people read it. I'll cop to forgetting to like chapters all the time. If I read a story, and most of the time, when I reach the end of a chapter, I click to the...

That makes sense for views, but but for favorites and bookmarks, they're no more likely than likes to be only how many people see it. Averaging likes per chapter by "potential readers" rather than by actual readers is pointless when that's also a statistic we have for a chapter. Also, one of...

Thanks! Your advice helped. I don't think mine is better than yours though :p.

Oh no, I meant about the "it's clear that he has no idea what he is doing." Yeah, it can be a little hard to come up with a good idea for this one though.

I was already thinking up an angry response and then I realized it was you lmao. I've never actually used tags, actually.

I think I might have misinterpreted what you meant by the best thing, actually.

That sounds interesting, Nemo, but I'm not sure it'd work for a sex story. For the main thing, I'd ask what happens to the body's mind and the mind's body, and what happens when it expires.

I have no idea what a Chakra is supposed to look like lol It sounds good, although I'm a little curious as to what various races look like. Also, is there a reason all the Golgana are single?

Auraicide, I can't say I understood that, but okay. Patzo, that sounds like a better way to do this. It also gave me an idea for a sort of "Who is fucking who" mystery. Do you have anything else on how that would work?

Right! I was thinking something close to that too, although I hadn't quite got there. No, I didn't even know there were games like that. How do they work?

Let me put it this way. If a choice, in only one or two options, is obviously bad, (For example, if we have a time limit and investigating the drawer gives nothing) players can always just hit the back button. In order to be impartial, you'd need an absurd amount of chapters that go nowhere...

I'm worried that it would sort of give things away. Like if you are in someone's room and one of the options is "look under the bed" you're going to do it. I'd like to make it so that the player has to actually figure things out. Which I'm beginning to think might mean focusing more on...

Thanks! I looked up all those games. I think Consuming Shadow's system would only work for stuff that's randomly generated though. LA Noir's system would also be harder to do in this, for a few reasons. For instance, in the example you gave, you'd also have an option in the next chapters...
