Science fiction (often abbreviated Sci-Fi or SF) is a genre of speculative fiction that has been called the "literature of ideas". It typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, time parallel universe, fictional space  extraterrestrial life. Science fiction often explores the potential consequences of scientific fiction

Science fiction, whose roots go back to anciemt times, is related to fantasy, horror, and superhero fiction, and includes many subgenres However its exact definition has long been disputed among authors, critics, and scholars.

Science fiction literature, film, television, and other media have become popular and influential over much of the world. Besides providing entertainment, science fiction can also criticize present-day society, and is often said to generate a "sense of wonder".

Just as there is 'Soft Magic' in Fantasy that is portrayed through magibabble, there can be 'Soft Science' in a Sci-Fi stories through technobabble that makes 'some sense', but not entirely correct.

We are frickin' writers, not scientists. You don't have to be anatomically correct all the time, all you need to do is show that you know enough of your stuff to write a decent story. In fact, the excuse of it being an alternate world can be used if you're going to bend the limits of physics and say that fire doesn't need air to exist in this parallel dimension.

I see a lot of writers being put into a state of confusion due to not understanding the line between fantasy and Sci-Fi. They seem like they are trying to fit the Star Trek mould too often.

Science can just as well do the same things as plot devices in fantasy stories. Once you add 'realism' to a fantasy, it becomes progressively better sometimes compared to a completely fantasied story where 'logic' doesn't hold within it.

Those who write Sci-Fi usually envision a future they can imagine where magic-like Rocket Boots and other stuff exist. However, a writer must not get bogged down by small details and MUST think of an overarching story where these details matter.

It is the same with Fantasy. Even if you write about someone breaking the mould as a wizard or something, you have to attach your world to a narrative rather than doing it the other way 'round.

No one wants to hear about how awesome your boat propellers are before hearing your story's narrative. They would rather you cut down and make it relevant when it is actually relevant.

Adding some 'Hard Science' to your story is only when the scenes later on have any use for them. It bores a person to death no matter how extensive your technobabble is unless you make it interesting. Try using facts as plot elements.

For example: Even the simple fact that people cannot breath in space and instantly die when they come in contact with the 'void' of space could be used to add a layer of tension when a spaceship is damaged. Similar to how dangerous 'hard magic' is used in Epic Fantasy like Frodo's Ring in The Lord of the Rings has definitive corruption on others.

Unlike Fantasy that can use the Power of Friendship to bend logic, the readers of Sci-Fi never be expecting any 'realistic' plot elements to be bend just because the Author wants a happy ending. There are no 'Healing Potions' in real life that can be used to fix up injuries nor are people affected by prophesies or whatever.

This is the contrast between Sci-Fi and Fantasy that you can make full use of. As most authors go onto the Sci-Fi side of writing not because they strive to be scientists but since the aesthetics of a science fiction world are just so interesting.

Science Fiction is a good place to tackle heavy topics like the nature of life and the absurdity of those who see 'science' as everything. Those who disregard emotions and become cybernetic entities for the sake of casting off their mortality are portrayed as the bad guys while our totally human protagonist fighting them is a 'good guy'.

The lines between an Artificial Intelligence and regular Humans blurs as we become the 'God' of technological species that defy our definition of what is 'living'. Just as we see God as some sort of fourth-dimensional and incomprehensible being that created us as an imperfect image of 'Him', the robots given sentience would see us similarly.

Some robots might have emotions that can allow them to defy their programming, some robots won't go as far as gaining emotional functionality but will preform their roles better than even a human. It could show the reason why people get attached to the inanimate and soulless objects we put our own hearts into creating (like Big Hero 6).

But though exploring philosophical questions is good and all, never forget that a good 'plot' is needed to put forward and give clues into the writer's answer that context. Sci-Fi is, after all, a premise, not a relatable character in of itself.

Think of the science-fiction elements as just the background for your story, similar to how other genres should be that as well. You won't have to deal writing blocks if you keep to writing only what you know rather than just speculative theories.

Whether it's as dark as a Cyber Punk or optimistic of the future, just know what mould you are using for this premise. Are you writing an Adventure story with Sci-Fi as the places, destinations, and whatever tools the MC can get him hands on, or are you writing a comedy where the Sci-Fi elements don't need consistency but absurdity?

After moving past why you shouldn't add unneeded technobabble unless it's interesting to listen to or has plot significance, let me remind you all that robots and 'science' isn't entirely separated from the realm of magic. After all, there is a reason you don't see skimpy power suits being worn by astronauts these days. Just be sure to have a focus if your going to add very illogical things to the plot.

I like Gundam as much as the next guy but the whole reason the Mecha sub-genre of Anime has waned in recent years is because writers have been focusing too much on 'science' rather than the spectacle. I don't need to now what materials your Mecha is made of unless you point its weak points and make it relevant in a fight scene.

Bring up the strengths and weaknesses of something and THEN use those facts as devices that can move the plot. Conversely, if you go overboard with this advice and tell me nothing but how your giant robot looks and the 'science' behind its creation, even going as far as to tell me how many secret guns it has, then I'll be bored...

I'd love to see Cyborgs Vs Mecha but just don't forget the human element of Sci-Fi. How we create things not solely for the sake of creation but put are feelings into it just like the novels we write.

Humans are passionate that way...

Thanks for reading and I wish you guys well~ Be sure to ask if you have any blog or story requests.

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

Future Technology's allure was indeed unprecedented. The company received 170281 scripts which were equivalent to the listings on some web novel sites.
Of course, it wasn't just Future Technology's name - the one million in prizes also played a role.
The massive number of documents meant it was impossible to manually complete the review process. It was time for Jiang Chen's "assistant".
For Jean, there was no inherent difference between 170281 and 1782. The computation speed of the quantum computer could read through billions of words in an instant.
The only problematic thing was that because she was just intermediate artificial intelligence, while she had the ability to think, she didn't possess any human emotions.
Without emotions, she obviously wouldn't understand the beauty hidden inside the words and it would be impossible for her to rate the submissions. She could only filter the text based on the settings Jiang Chen set.
Anything less than 100 thousand words were eliminated. It was too difficult to rewrite that into a script with a plot that could fill a three-hour film.
Works over one million words were also removed. He was planning to make a movie, not a drama series.
Works with more than 50 grammatical errors, awkward logic, and obvious plot holes were among the factors considered; only a few thousand works remained after that. Of course, there might've been gold dusted out along with the sand, but the quality of the remaining works would definitely be of higher quality.
The first round of selections took five seconds, but the second round took two weeks!
With Nolan's lead, Warner Brothers employees began to manually review the English. Chinese works were the responsibility of Future Group.
In order to be fair and open, Warner Brothers invited the World Science Fiction Association, which was the sponsor of the Hugo Awards, to participate in the selection process. Of course, the opinions of the judges were only for reference and did not have a direct impact on the results of the selection process.
After two weeks of selection.
Finally, after much anticipation, Future Technology and Warner Brothers jointly announced their winners on the official website. All winners would be reimbursed for their airfare expenses to attend a grand award ceremony on Coro Island and sign with Future Technology.
At the end of the ceremony, Jiang Chen went to see Nolan.
A total of ten works were selected, but they still needed to discuss to select the top work.
The entire event costed a total of 15 million US dollar to select the right screenplay. Future Technology's willingness to invest certainly made Mr. Nolan feel immense pressure. When they met, he said:
"If we were just trying to create hype, didn't we invest too much?"
"But from the results, our reward is satisfying, isn't it?" Jiang Chen smiled.
Nolan revealed a helpless expression. "I can't disagree on that point, and on that point alone."
In all the works submitted to Future Technology, there were pieces of some emerging writers as well as some novels that had been popular for a long time and had a high demand for an adaptation. Obviously, it wasn't only fans of science fiction films but science fiction writers' enthusiasm for this open contest was also frivolous.
As they went through the list from the top, Jiang Chen exchanged opinions with Nolan, one by one.
"What about 'Civilization' by Ian M. Banks? The most famous space opera science fiction in the 1980s."
"It's too difficult to adapt a series of novels." Nolan shrugged bluntly.
"Then what about the 'Dust in God's Eyes'? Larry Neven's story of the first contact between humans and extraterrestrial intelligent creatures is very interesting. The expedition team, composed of naval officers and soldiers, and businessmen and scientists, was also exciting. Their approach of: 'In the case of contact with nonhuman intelligent creatures, we must assume the other side is hostile' is also quite interesting."
"That book is on my shortlist." Nolan laughed.
"Haha, can you tell me about the lucky ones on your list?"
"In addition to this, there's 'the Fire on the Abyss.' I used to discuss the possibility of adapting this science fiction masterpiece with my younger brother Jonathan, but we finally decided we couldn't film this.
"Not possible to do it?"
"That's right. The scale of the universe described in this book is too great. Three worlds and countless races - even Industrial Light and Magic can't recreate the essence of this work." Nolan looked at Jiang with eyes full of hope. "Could Virtual Image's VR imaging technology do it?"
When Jiang Chen heard Nolan's question, his mouth twitched.
"There's no problem in theory, but three worlds ... the production cycle is probably going to be quite long."
Nolan also knew his proposal was impossible, so he sighed.
"That's really a pity ..."
But when he went down the list, he stumbled on an unfamiliar name.
"'Time Curtain' - what's this?"
"Oh, this, ah, I was planning to recommend this to you," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Author ... Li Ming?" Christopher furrowed his brows as he had never heard of the name.
Although the works weren't rigidly attached to the authors'names, since he never heard this name before, he instinctively donned his tinted glasses.
However, Jiang Chen didn't mind and began to introduce the plot. 
"This book is on my list of candidates. Although the writing and character shaping aren't as carefully crafted, the depth of thought is unexpectedly at a masters level, and the point of view is also very fascinating. In 2070, the world's climate is no longer suitable for human survival, nor is the world's space weather. The International Astronautics Federation launched a colonization ship called 'Borderlands,' heading for Kepler 22b 600 lightyears away."
"Because of the slow effects of the speed of light, when the Borderlands arrived on Kepler 22b, tens of thousands of years had passed since they left. When they entered this alien land, they discovered the ruins of human civilization and alien species. Evidence suggested that a second colonization ship was launched by the International Astronautic Federation a year after 2070. They just didn't know why they were ahead on the time scale and had long disappeared."
"The extraterrestrial civilization on the planet was still in its infancy, but whether it was indigenous peoples who were enlightened by the remnants of human civilization or those who came from earth themselves wasn't known. What was even more interesting are the later stories. The conflicts and suspense are carefully orchestrated. I won't spoil things for you; you should read it yourself."
"Just from your description, this story is certainly interesting. But how did you pick this book out of so many works?" Nolan asked.
"I didn't choose this, but my assistant recommended it to me," Jiang replied.
This confused Jiang Chen the most.
What logic did Jean, without a concept of emotion or aesthetics, use to recommend him this piece? Jiang Chen asked Jean before, but Jean couldn't answer the question. She only used a vague and humane way to respond to the question: "Because it's interesting?"
Although the theme was impressive, it wasn't stellar by definition. The concept of time wasn't a novel concept in the sci-fi world. While the topic escalated to a discussion of civilization, this point didn't add too much complexity.
But after reading the work, Jiang Chen had to admit that Jean didn't lie to him; the work was indeed fascinating.
"It's too early to make a decision. I'll go back, read this book and I'll give you a reply tomorrow." Then Nolan stood up and looked at Jiang Chen.
"I'm looking forward to your good news." Jiang Chen smiled.
Nolan raised his eyebrows and jokingly whispered.
"I've always been picky with the script."
"Believe me, you'll love it."


After the nuclear war, ruins stretch across the landscape in the apocalypse.
If you accidentally survived on the wasteland, then you must be ready to face the endless hunger, ceaseless dangers, the mad zombies at night, and the peculiar mutant creatures that are the aftermath of constant radiation.
But for Jiang Chen, this place is heaven.
Mansions standing tall, luxurious cars parked on the street, high tech products and gold abandoned everywhere.
What? You were the president of a game development company before the war? You were responsible for the development of the 3D virtual reality online multiplayer game? Well, that’s great, why don’t you come work for me. Your salary is two pieces of bread a day.
iPhone? Ultra thin design? Don’t you see that the phone I invented is thinner than a condom?
Aircraft carrier? Fighter jets? Oh, I have those things as well, but they are designed for space combat.
Watch the story of Jiang Chen, who possesses the ability to travel through space and time, as he witnesses the creation of an empire stretched across space and time... 


A Being was one of the three classifications used by the British Ministry of Magic to catalogue the various magical Creatures that inhabited the wizarding world (the others being Beast and Spirit). The definition of a Being was "any creature that has sufficient intelligence to understand the laws of the magical community and to bear part of the responsibility in shaping those laws". This definition was laid down by Minister for Magic Grogan Stump in 1811, and the Being Division was formed as part of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

The definition of "Being" had a long and troubled history. In the fourteenth century, Burdock Muldoon, Chief of the Wizards' Council, attempted to define Beings as any member of the magical community that walked on two legs. Muldoon invited all Beings to a summit to discuss new magical laws, and saw that his definition was unworkable. Goblins had brought with them every creature they could find with two legs, including Diricawls, Augureys, Fwoopers, Pixies, Fairies, and Trolls, and the summit descended into chaos when the Trolls started to destroy the chamber with their clubs.

Muldoon's successor, Elfrida Clagg, attempted to redefine Beings as those that could speak the Human tongue. However, there were still problems at the next summit. Trolls were still classed as Beings since they could be taught the Human tongue, and Jarveys were in attendance. The Centaurs refused to take part since the Merpeople were excluded, as Mermish cannot be understood above water. Ghosts, who had not been classed as Beings under Muldoon since they glided, left in disgust at the Council's emphasis on matters of the living over matters of the dead.

In 1811, Grogan Stump laid down the new definition of a Being, to the agreement of the magical community, along with the definition of a "Beast". However, the Ghosts were still sensitive to being classed as Beings since they were dead, and a new definition, "Spirit" was created for them.

Examples

Humans (Muggles and wizards and witches) were beings, though there were extremists who campaigned for the classification of Muggles as Beasts. Goblins, vampires, hags, giants, house-elves, veela, and werewolves in their human form were also given this status. It is important to note that when there was a full moon, the werewolf in its transformed state would be classified as a beast and not a being.

Merpeople and centaurs were offered this status, but refused because they did not want to be grouped with creatures such as hags and vampires, and were by default classified as Beasts.

Other creatures fit the qualifications that define Being (intelligent speech), such as Acromantulas, Sphinxes, Manticores, and Erklings, but were not even offered Being status due to their extremely violent and even lethal tendencies, and thus they were also classified as Beasts.

Dementors and Boggarts, on the other hand, were neither a Being nor a Beast, as they were non-beings.

Creatures currently specified as Beings

Humans
Muggles
Squibs
Wizards
Giants
Half-giants
Goblins
Dark Goblins
Pukwudgies
European Goblins
Half-goblins
Vampires
Half-vampires
Hags
House elves
Yumbos
Veelas
Half-Veelas
Werewolves - only when in human form; when in wolf form they were regarded as Beasts.
Merpeople - offered the status but refused
Sirens
Selkies
Merrows
Centaurs - offered the status but refused

Behind the scenes

The final definition seems to determine that any creature with sapience can be considered a Being. This concept is noted in various science fiction universes, especially in Star Wars. However, some of the less civilised sapient species do not possess the status of beings, like Banshees or Manticores.
In the German translation, the Being status is translated as Zauberwesen ("magical creatures"). This translation is problematic in-universe, as this classification also includes giants and even Muggles, who have no magical abilities at all. The other classifications are translated Tierwesen ("animal creatures") and Geisterwesen ("spirit creatures").

Nahirapang gumalaw ang Mud Hollow dahil hindi akma sa kanya ang battle ground.

Sa isang kisap-mata ay biglang lumitaw sa itaas nito ang swordman. Malakas na bulalas ang umalingawngaw sa paligid at buong lakas nitong itinarak ang kanyang nagyeyelong espada sa katawan ng monster. Naging 0 ang HP nito at agad itong naglaho. Nabasag na animo'y isang salamin.

Para namang walang nangyari. Kalmado nitong ibinalik ang kanyang espada at mabilis na umalis matapos makamit ang pagkapanalo.

O hahayaan mo na lang siya?

Tanong ko lang!

MAGLALARO KA PA BA?

The individual that stepped through the strange newly formed entryway… was the very definition of 'strangely beautiful'... his skin was the hue of antique gold with a subdued sort of metallic shimmer, his hair was a deep violet and fell to mid back… except of course for the thick lock of aqua blue hair hanging down in front… the same color as his eyes…

Those eyes… she'd never seen eyes like this before unless the person was wearing contact lenses… the iris was the same color as the aqua blue lock of hair, but the base of his eyes that should have been white… was royal purple… and the pupils… there wasn't any…

His clothing reminded her of something you might have imagined to see in a Star Wars movie or something Science Fiction like that, all deep purple and a dark turquoise in color scheme… this guy really liked purple…

She was curious about the three aqua blue markings of the right side of his chin though...

It was in the next moment or two that Liliana returned to the here and now with her present situation… and her bizarre abduction…

"Who the hell are you?!" Liliana demanded, swallowing hard as she forced herself to put on a brave face… no way if she was going to die, that she'd be dying like a weeping spineless waif, she'd go out with her boots on as her Gran would say "Why am I here?! Did you bring me here?! Well, don't just stare at me like you're dumb, say something!"

He was silent for a bit longer, though a slow sideways smirk began to curve his lush kissable lips, a soft amused chuckle escaped him then… and ignited angry irritation within Liliana… was her fear and confusion amusing to this prick?

"Listen, fuck face! I don't know or care what your game is, but I want to go home! NOW!" Liliana demanded furiously, taking a couple bold steps closer to the guy… despite every instinct telling her that she was being incredibly stupid right now, but she was just too scared and angry to give a shit anymore, she'd been through enough tonight… that is, she really didn't know how long she'd been unconscious…

The amusement faded from the beautiful face of the mysterious stranger… then before Liliana had even two seconds to blink, he was before her nose to nose, his golden hands grasping her shoulders and propelling her backwards towards the bed… it was all she could do just to avoid tripping on the dress!

Her back hit the plush softness and she stared up into his face with wide fearful pale blue eyes as he hovered over her on hands and knees… she wanted to scream at him and try to hit him, but all of that bravada she'd had moments ago had fled to somewhere far away...

Then… he spoke…

"You want answers, my love? I will indulge you… but, you will mind your tongue from here on out… I am a patient male, but you can only push even the most patient so very far before they crack…" He murmured, his voice was smooth as silk and yet deep at the same time… the sound sent shivers down her spine… satisfied when she remained silent, he continued "I am Prince Nisnieth of the planet Vuul, a place a very long ways away from your solar system… I doubt your species will ever reach us for another good couple centuries…"

He lowered himself down gently, his strong firm body pressing against her soft feminine form, Liliana heard a contented sigh escape him before he continued to speak "You, my dear Liliana, are here for the honor of becoming my bride… I've been searching a long time for a female human to my liking, imagine my delight at discovering you… how do you humans say it again… months, yes, that's it… two of your Earth months ago… I've been watching ever since… one cannot be too careful in choosing his future queen…"

Liliana Valentine just wanted to have a couple friends to chase away the loneliness she’d felt all her life, she thought coming to Rockdale University was going to be her big chance to make changes in her life.

She’d been in foster care since she was eight after her parents died in a car accident, she was the weird quiet orphan all through school, so naturally, she held high hope for college to help her start over fresh... so when some girls in her dorm building invited her to another girl’s family farm for a barn party, she jumped at the opportunity...

It wound up being a sadistic revision of the ‘hazing of the freshmen’ tradition, which left a humiliated and crying Liliana making the long walk back alone in the dark... but little does she know... her life is about to change forever...

What we consider to be the oldest novel in world literature really depends on the strictness of our definition of a novel. The looser the definition, the farther back we can go.

For example, the Japanese work the Tale of Genji(11th century A.D) by Murasaki Shikibu is often cited as the oldest novel in the world. But if you were to read the Tale of Genji, you might find it very different in nature to modern novels you are used to reading.

The modern novel is a specific type of prose fiction that only really became popular and recognized as a distinct form in the 18th century. We have now come to expect that a novel will include certain elements, including a plot, a protagonist or narrator, some central characters, possibly some central themes, and a conflict that may or may not be resolved. Many novels contain a climax near the end.

The Tale of Genji is wonderful literature, especially in Arthur Waley's idiomatic translation, but the plot is meandering, it does not have an ending, and the narrative is frequently interrupted by hundreds of poems. In order to include the Tale of Genji as a candidate for world's oldest novel, we are taking a relatively broad view of what we consider to be a novel. Under this broad definition, the Satyriconwritten by Petronius in the 1st century A.D. would easily beat the Tale of Genji to the title of world's oldest novel.

Under a stricter definition, Don Quixote (1605–1615) by Miguel de Cervantes might be considered the world's first novel.

A book that many consider to be the world's first "modern novel" is Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, which was first published in 1719. Robinson Crusoe marks the beginning of realistic fiction in world literature, and is certainly another contender for the world's first novel depending on the strictness of our definition.

What is a title? The title is the core of your book, it gives it a definition. What is the use of the title? The title is the first thing people see when exploring books. Having that perfect catchy title will help you hook up more readers.

Now how to make this Catchy Title? Well here are a few tips in creating a fitting title for your fiction. Number One,  Brainstorm ideas. Write down every word that comes to mind about your story. Include keywords about the topic, character names, phrases you love, and anything else that comes to mind. Arrange these in different combinations to see if anything speaks to you.

Here is an example of an Array of words: Hero, Ryan, Magical, Fantasy, Swords, Adventure.

Example of a Bad Title: The Hero Ryan's Magical Adventure in a Fantasy World

Compared to this Catchy Title: A Hero's Journey or Ryan's Magical Adventure.

or you can make it shorter: The Unsung Hero or Child's Dream

Second, Study titles in your genre. Look for stories or books that are popular with your target audience. Readers may be drawn to your work because it reminds them of something they already like.

For example, many young adult fantasy novels hinge on one or two intriguing words: Twilight, Bitten, Cinder, The Selection.

There is something called the Internet where you can search for different examples of Titles for the same genre.

Examples of Video Game fiction titles: The Legend of Zelda, Game Consoles, Moonlight Sculptor, Trapped in a Video Game.

Examples of Fantasy fiction titles: Harry Potter, Is it wrong to pick up girls in the dungeon? , Alice in Wonderland, Percy Jackson

These titles have one thing in common they are all related to the main character or the main story. It reveals information to the people but not too much.

Third, Make the title exciting. Dull or generic titles won't catch the reader's eye. Titles such as "The Tree" or "The Train" might name the subject or a symbol in the story, but it doesn't excite the reader.

Try adding a more descriptive word to the basic title. Successful titles using the above words include The Giving Tree, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, The Mystery of the Blue Train, and The Orphan Train.

Utilizing the keywords you've brainstorm you can create amazing titles by bending and twisting the words.

Example of an Array: Weird, Male, Friendly Monster, Room

You can Create: My (Weird) Unusual Friend or The Mysterious Friendly Monster

Using the Synonyms and Antonyms of the words you have in your list making them more appealing and attractive.

Fourth, Make the title easy to remember. Titles are not only supposed to catch the reader's attention but also spread the word about your work. Something too difficult to remember won't appeal to editors or agents, and your reader won't remember and be able to tell someone else the title. You want to come up with an exciting, yet catchy and easy to remember, title.

Read your title out loud. Does it roll off the tongue? Is it exciting? Does it sound boring? Would you check out this title? The answers to these questions can help you revise the title.

Example, What would you likely remember after an hour? The Murder on Wzcyiubjekistan Express or Murder n the Orient Express. Surely it would be the latter.

Fifth, Pay attention to the wording. A title should be appropriate for the story, but it doesn't need to confuse your potential readers. Make sure that your wording doesn't depict the story as something it is not. Your title shouldn't sound like a science fiction story if it's a romance.

Example if your title is Hacking System the first thing that comes into your reader's mind is "This Story is a Sci-Fi story with a system as Hack literally means to use a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system.

Sixth, Use strong, vivid language. A title needs to stand out. Strong action words, vivid adjectives, or intriguing nouns can all make your title compelling. Look at the words in your potential title. Are there synonyms that are more descriptive or unique? Can you choose a word that has a less general meaning? Some words are so common their meaning doesn't impact readers in the same way.

For example, the use of the word desire in Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms is far more interesting than Love Under the Elms.

It's like choosing the word war over battle because war gives that strong bloodshed feel. Example World Battle I or World War I, do you see my point here?

Also, don't use common words like System this, Cheats that, and so on and so forth. The reason is simple, your story will become a needle in a haystack becoming covered up.

Seventh, Seek inspiration. Book titles often derive from established great works, such as the Bible, Shakespeare, song lyrics, or other sources. Write down phrases that are meaningful, beautiful, or intriguing to you.

Examples of this type of title include The Grapes of Wrath; Absalom, Absalom; Gaudy Night, The Fault in Our Stars.

This is quotes or phrases that give a deeper meaning just like the Japanese manga titles. Is it wrong to pick up girls in the dungeon?, Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren't They?

Eight, Read your own work. Titles are often memorable lines from the book or story itself. Readers may enjoy the moment when they realize why a story has a particular title.

Examples of this type of title include To Kill a Mockingbird, Catch-22, and Catcher in the Rye.

This types of titles can be the most repeated quote your protagonist or antagonist uses like. Maybe Someday... or I am Supreme. sleek and chill titles.

Ninth, Write down your inspirations when they come. Often, good writing ideas come to you when you least expect it. You may forget these, so keep a paper and pencil handy to jot down ideas that come to you whenever inspiration may strike.

Like The Railroad above the highway, The Barks Next Door, The Flickering Night Light, or The Sudden Flood.

You can find these stuff literally everywhere example ask the people around you or look at the news headline. the places around you. the usual daily things you see with imagination.

Tenth, Add Emotions. This is what you need. Putting your heart is always better than just doing your best. make your title feel personal like it is a part of you.

Eleventh, Know your audience. Keep your audience in mind when drafting a headline. The world's most shocking title may contain the words "harem," "sex," "lies," and "videotape," but it could be a complete turn-off to an audience of monks.

Twelveth, SEO optimize. Include a "focus keyword" to help your writing to get discovered in search engines. Build the headline around the most important keyword in your written text and ensure that it is fewer than 70 characters. Additional words are considered too long for Google to index. 

This will help your story appear at the top of Google searches on the front page

Thirteenth, Create a knowledge vacuum. A headline that leaves the reader wanting more has done its job. Take this one for example: "These Pieces Of Advice Found On Instagram Could Change Your Life." Does it make you want more? Does it intrigue you? Your readers will probably look for more information in the rest of your article.

Fourteenth, Solve a problem. After reading a headline, readers may wonder, "Why should I read on?" Many decide to do so because they believe from the title of the post that you, the author, can solve their problem. Consider the headline of this post; perhaps you are reading with the hope it will solve your headline-writing problem?!

Fifteenth, Use numbers. People love numbers, especially in headlines. Numbers are something we know and feel comfortable with; they give us a sense of familiarity and advise our brains on how long an article may take to read. With numbers, we can justify the exchange of information for our time – especially with numbers that describe how many points will be covered. For example: "10 Ways to cook eggs that your mother never told you about."

Sixteenth, Cheat. Yes, you heard right. Don't be afraid to look for inspiration wherever you can. If you write for a publication, review older copies and look for examples that you know would work with your audience and tweak them. ViralNova.com, a website that repackages content that is already available, does a great job of writing compelling headlines. Tim Ferris created multiple titles for his book, The 4 Hour Work Week, before settling on the mega-hit. He ran a series of Google ads and looked at the click-through rates, simply choosing the one with the highest.

Seventeenth, Use technology. There is a tool called Portent's Content Idea Generator, and it is a piece of brilliance. Plug in your topic or focus keyword into the little text box hit a button, and bam – out pops a catchy headline in less time than one minute and seven seconds. At the very least, it could
trigger ideas.

Overall, a catchy headline should speak directly to the part of the brain that subconsciously cares. However, a catchy headline is nothing without quality, thoughtful, engaging content that is shared and admired. Remember: that's the reason we wanted the catchy headline in the first place. And until we start reading from the bottom up, catchy headlines are here to stay.

Basically, these are randomizers in the internet. Search things like Fantasy fiction title randomizer. This will give you titles like White Willow Sunset, Brisking Adventure, and so on.

If you manage the title you like integrate or simply change some of the words in the title with the words that you've brainstormed.

That is all for now see you soon on how to write a synopsis.

These are some tips and tricks to help begginer authors just like me to improve their fictiom better



P. S - All things, names, and places that are mentioned in this chapter are fiction only. 

" Reign, Wake up! You have classes! You're going to be late." mom said waking me up. She just got home. She's been away for her business trip in Canada for a month. 

Where's my good morning, mom? Hehe. I stayed up late last night because of my mid-term exam. While reviewing last night, I also watched anime. 

I got up and went to my bathroom. I need to take a bath and fix all my books so that I could leave. 

After I took a bath, Our maid called me for breakfast. As soon as I sat on the chair, mom talked. 

" Reign, we have some extra room here. We could build your dream library. You always say that you want your mini library for your books." Mom said smiling. 

Omg! Is this for real? I'm about to have my mini library!. Ever since I was in 8th grade, I always want my mini library for my manga, books, and stuff. I love to read. 

" Wow! Thank you, Mommy! This would mean so much to me! " I said. 

Ever since my mom and dad divorced, my mom and I came back here to the Philippines. Mom decided she wanted to start some business. She started with nothing. But, she succeeds and now she has a company of beauty and make-up line. 

I'm so happy for mom. Now, she's giving me the thing that I need and wants. I'm contented with her. 

After I finished eating my breakfast, I left our house to go to school. I'm running late. 

While I'm on my way to school, I checked my phone. If you're thinking that I'm about to check my messages, you're wrong. I'm about to check new chapters of the manga that I'm reading. While I'm scrolling down on Facebook, I saw my favorite brand of bag and clothes. The Mikolas. 

I don't even know why they're calling me a nerd. I just have my glasses but my glasses are not thick and I'm just an honor student and I just want to be a lawyer. Is that the definition of a nerd?. 

" Ms. Reign, we're here at your school already." Our driver said. I fixed my bag and got out of the car. 

As soon as I stepped in my shoes on the floor of our campus, everyone started looking at me as if they're disgusted. 

I just walked by. I saw someone that looks familiar to me. 

Our mid-term exam started. But when I looked around, Axiel is not there in his chair. Where is he? I just focused on my paper and tried to answer it. 

A few minutes later, someone knocked on our classroom door. When our professor opened the door, we saw Axiel, panting. It looks like he ran. 

" Mr. Reando, why are you late?" Our professor asked him. 

" There was an emergency in our house." He answered. 

"Okay, I will accept that reason. But tomorrow, if you're still late, I won't accept you." Professor said. 

Axiel nodded and walked through his chair. Even though he's sweating, he's still hot. 

" Ms. Leima, focus on your paper." 

I returned to reality. I was daydreaming about him. Sheesh! I must focus on my exam. 

40 minutes had passed, we finished our exam on Science. 

It's kinda easy. I looked at Axiel again. He looks like he's tired. I walked towards him. 

" Axiel? A-are you okay?" I asked. 

" Yeah, I'm fine." He answered. 

I was about to say to him that I saw someone earlier, a girl version of him. 

" O-okay" I answered. I was about to walk away when he grabbed my wrist. 

"Hm?" 

"Let's go to the cafeteria." He said. 

" Hm, okay. I'll just get my wallet." I said. 

" Okay." He said. 

We're now here in the cafeteria. I'll probably just have some sandwich. 

"So? Axiel? May I ask you?" I asked. 

"You're already asking me." He said. 

"Tsk. Bakayarou." I said. Bakayarou is a Japanese word. 

" I can understand that." He said. Shocks! He knows how to speak Japanese!. 

"So this is my question. I saw someone earlier who looked like you. Is she your sister or something?" I asked. 

"Hm. She's my twin. Axial. She'll be joining us later." He answered. 

"Okay, that's nice," I said. I don't know what to say after knowing that he has a twin. 

His twin must be beautiful. Axiel is handsome. So his sister must be pretty. 

I'm excited to see her tho. I hope she's not like other girls that has attitude.
