Jed Herne is a likeable guy in general and he had some nice advice. I have mixed feelings about the channel in general tho. He's highly reader- and commercial-orientated and it deeply displeases me to write a book with a market audience in mind and having this highly commercial mindset...

Today, masks for sale!

It looks wonderful on first glance and I'd be interested in it, if I saw it in an online or book shop. I just think the "The" of "The Evenaar Saga" is almost sticking to the top of the cover. Also there seems something wrong with the legs the longer you look at it. I don't want to assume it's...

My protagonists of course and beside that... it depends, if the pov character should know someone's name. If they are supposed to know their name, I will give them one. Even if it reduces the amount of names in a novel, I feel it's unnatural that a pov character doesn't call someone by their...

Yes and no. Quest fantasy that centers around the destiny of a world or a large region is the opposite of niche. Adventure fantasy that for example is just a group of people doing quests and getting involved with certain smaller scale-issues is more niche. That's btw what I want to read more...

It depends on what you want from your story and your own approach to your writing. I can't just add whole scenes afterwards, if I'm not in the mood of the scene anymore. Of course I edit my chapters after, but when I'm in writing mood I can't recreate the same feeling and the same energy and the...

Kind-hearted and "fun" people that are caught in a moral struggle. I've read about some of these characters "He's a good person yet doing awful things" and I think that sums up what I mean. Roy from Fullmetal Alchemist is one example for of these characters. Also more introverted and ruff...

That sounds good. Not only in power, but I love to have some emotional truth to them. There are lot of different types of anime and it ranges from very realstic characters to ... whatever the mains of Demon Slayer are. Their traits are very over the top.

I often prefer characters that are "normal individuals", not stock normal guy of course, but people who have something real and pretty much down to earth to them. I wouldn't describe them as any reader insert, but I often don't like characters that much that are "too anime / comic" or "too...

I don't even think there needs any twist to elves or others, just write them as people first. Imo characters seem like they are stereotypical for their race, if the race builds on a monolith and doesn't have individuals first and foremost.

Insufferable main characters is the only reason really. I rarely think a book is boring or anything, and I don't care too much about a great writing style, aka a poetic or flowery writing style. The style should provide a fluent reading experience. But annoying main characters and romances...

Goodreads, love it to explore new books I may never have heard of otherwise. On the other hand, my plan to read is over 300 books long. "That sounds interesting, on the ptr you go." I may read 1/5 of them. ^^'

I rather go with the one that lots of carbs in them ... I said while cooking pasta. :D Also for the second pyramid: daily weight control is crazy, that makes people overly self-conscious. Sold my scale years ago, that was a great decision.

Most time when I'm not feeling the magic, it's because it feels mechanical and is only included to enhance the plot. Especially when magic is only used for attack spells and they look like in a video game. Instead magic users would use all kind of spells in their daily lives. That goes for any...

Well, I don't care what literary agents are tired of seeing, because I am not. :D I love the classic high fantasy for example and some tropes that are usually used in them. Also I love some typical romantasy tropes. I would argue that you recognize very well, who's book is a work out of...
