Each chapter will be a random story. From train tracks to windows. There'll be a story about it GOD DAMN IT. Some will be scary, some will be kinda scary, and some won't. They might just be stories. Some might even be comedic. Hope you like them.

A collection of short stories based on writing prompts I gathered. Their genres will most definitely vary :)

For those of you reading this, your either here out of sheer boredom, or reading these for fun. Either way, these will most likely not be what you are looking for. These entries will be random, from various genres and themes. While you will see a lot of Sci-fi and Fantasy here, I will be writing from other genres as well. These entries will be short in the beginning, starting at one-hundred words, and getting bigger as I get comfortable with writing. I know the title says Write Everyday but that's more like a goal than anything else. Anyways I've stalled long enough, don't you think? Let's get started!

Not A Book, but read if you want, your comments would help motivate me

Hello readers, Author-san here!

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you all!

Ok, first of all, some character developments have been outlined briefly. And when I say briefly, it's 'not so seriously detailed' description of the characters.

I was having a blast writing the pokemon fanfic that I actually stopped outlining the character developments for a bit. Anyway, back to the character development sh** that lots of readers are looking for when they read a story, I am done with Megumin's, Yunyun's, Eris's, and a bit of Aqua's.

Character development is not my thing (world development is much fun to write), but to not make my characters into a flat and decorative one, I'm gonna put some effort to do it.

For the Worldbuilding side of this story, I have already created 4 dungeons for this(one of which is Keele's) and added some towns here and there.

Note: I'm not writing an Asian drama BS so don't complain about this focusing on the adventure factor of the story. This is a story with an ADVENTURE tag for God's sake! If I added the 'Drama' BS then it would be full of cringy scenes. For those who find this novel to be 'slow' in progress, please scroll back and look at the Auxiliary Chapter that has the title 'Novel's Genres and Tags'. Looking at it, you will find the 'Slice of Life' genre, right? If you don't like these kinds of genres, then please find a novel that would fit your taste. Also, don't vote with power stones if you will regret it afterward. I honestly don't need it now, use it to those novels that, using your own words, 'deserve' it.

About my Pokemon fanfiction,

I'm having so much fun writing it. Around 20 chapters are already made, from 1000-1200 word count(since I don't want it to be too long). And it is, like this one, slowly but surely progressing. Also, as I've stated above, don't read it if you don't like a slice of life novels, it will be a waste of your precious time. I will be posting it, around the time I reach the 100 chapters quota.

Another note: Thank you to those who are supporting me, using their power stones to vote this novel. I appreciate it!

That's all for the update! (Thank you for reading my rant Lol)

Born as an orphan in Japan, he grew up surrounded by good people who serve at the church.

The nuns at the orphanage became a great example to him and he swore that he would save those who are in need too.

At the age of seven, he got adopted by a Pilipina and Japanese couple. They took him to the Philippines, where he grew up.

At the age of 19, he helped countless people, created various organizations to help those in need, and even trained to be a volunteer rescuer. That made him more passionate about his belief that "If he can save the person, I would save them. Maybe, there would come a time where they would also contribute to the world."

He who has this belief braved through all dangers until one day, due to saving the life of a girl who is drowning from the flood, he died because of being impaled by a metal rod straight through his heart.

Meeting a so-called God from the high heavens who manages all of those who reincarnate. He, unlike any other, gathered a lot of good karma due to him saving a lot of people who have become prominent characters in the future to repay their debt of life to him.

Join Ariyoshi Hiroto in his adventures to the worlds where voluptuous girls, lolitas, kuuderes, derederes, etc. are waiting for him to be saved!

Can he resist their charm?!

Will he be a hypocrite and refuse their confessions?!

Will he accept them all and create his own flower garden?!

Or will he become a sissy and not a dragon among men?!

Please go easy on the comments.
This is my first book so I still don't know the ins and outs of writing an acceptable novel. *sweating profusely*

Enjoy, and do tell me the grammatical errors and such. I would gladly listen to you guys who are already considered as veterans-in-writing-novel's teachings.

I do not own the Original Series of High School DxD, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!, and neither do I own Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody, all the rights belongs to its rightful owner.

For the Cover, I edited it. Perhaps I'm gonna change it to a new one when the MC goes to another world.

Credits to the Original owners of these pictures :)!

Updates will be done every 6 AM at GMT 8+ every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then Side Stories will be updates every Saturday/Sunday. Sometimes, I would do a mass release if I have something scheduled that week and can't post a chapter at that time.

So, I have a lot of story ideas.  But I suck at writing, so I'm going to list a bunch of my ideas down so that someone who wants to write but doesn't have a prompt can have something to start with.  If any readers also have ideas but are too lazy to write themselves, make a paragraph comment ONLY on the genre e.g. if the genre title is fantasy, and you have an idea for that genre use that title, not anywhere else plz and thank you.

If you see an idea that you wanted to write down but someone already said it, just like it so that people can see what the most popular idea is.  I will also be adding my own ideas once in a while.

a 'genre' here is generally the setting with multiple secondary genres

write it like this:

[ Genre: Trait, trait, trait.  Summary. ]

e.g. Eastern Fantasy: Comedy, Food, Action.
this idea is about blah blah blah

also, if you want me to add any genres just make a normal chapter comment.

since this needs a lot of people to find it to actually work, I think I might write something daily just so it shows up in the new section.

now, it starts...

*******************
GENRES(where to put ideas)

Fantasy

Eastern Fantasy

Urban

Dear readers
This is your author. I thought of sharing this to you before you go ahead with the story. 
First of all thank you to everyone who dropped by this book and also the one's who are reading this note right now.(Well Idk if you checked this out bcoz you wanted to or just clicked on it accidentally) 
It's almost six months since I have started writing this story and I am really enjoying the writing so far. I hope you are doing the same while reading.This book is on realistic fiction genre and I know it's not one among those popular genres on the platform. However I am still here to give it a shot. This story is not something you would like to binge upon (maybe!) but if you really wanna understand it, you need to get into the characters mind(s). 
Each character has their own back stories and at times I will have to include their point of views too. So be patient while reading them , as they are all related to the main plot. 
I am not aiming high on this book because the genre already has lesser audience as compared to other genres. That doesn't mean I would drop the book halfway because this story is really special to me. 
TBH I have always wanted to write something like this. So when I started the book the ideas came automatically. And let me tell you, when you start doing something you wanted to do desperately and finally it happens that feeling is incomparable. 
Hope you understand this and show some love to this amateur author by supporting the book. Your opinions are always appreciated. Let me know how you feel about the story in the paragraph or chapter comments. Now I don't want my reader's to be those silent one's, okay? 
Share your thoughts;that helps a lot honestly.Okay now I won't waste much of your time... ;D
                               ~Love, Your Author

It was not only the last mission for him but also a sort of justice to his daughters culprit that he tells about at the end. Everything seemed to end as he got no information or clues against the culprit until  one day he coincidentally collided with Jake who has connections with this politician that Mr. Dayal assumed to be the main culprit.Jake promised to help him along with the other 3 officers who were selected for the team. 

***
 "I'm planning on switching sides. Again! "

Mr. Hussain and his brother widened their eyes.

"Did you just.. " Mr. Hussain, the politician asks.

"Yes you heard it right" Jake smirks.

"Then tell us what they are exactly planning? Tell us everything. " Mr. Hussain asked.

"You just need to go meet them and the rest,you guess!"

"Huh! As if I'm going to blurt everything out to them. I never thought Dayal could be this naive."The politician laughed.

Will they be able to last as a team till the end? 

Will they succeed in the last mission? Find out more about this last mission by reading the story further.

    I couldn't understand this frustrating feeling of being disgusted by my art. Surely, I was improving but it just didn't feel right. I half-assed the rest and gave up on it completely. I wanted to do something else. But what was it exactly? I had an extreme urge to start writing this and not my more structured and cast driven novel. I see all these hip new "eBooks" climbing up the internet and I mentally scoff whilst being painfully intrigued. I see all these hip new web novels written in first person and—blegh! I spit on thee. My Asian ass growing up from physical and "real" books professionally written (often in third-person) and edited in English is my cup of tea. I was the best in English every year at my class, spoke it so frequently that classmates and teachers were amusingly put off by yet another attribute I've nonchalantly acquired. So I thought to myself, when I wanted to soar through this web writing business and shit, "Ha! I could do better than that." And I never did. I thought this was way too low a level for me. What great way to start than from the bottom, though, to teach my ego here a fucking lesson? It doesnt really matter if a book is written in first person. It's the characters, the prose, the story—!

    Screw off, what even am I doing anymore? I wanted to say this: what defines a "Male Lead"? Stories here are divided into "Male" and "Female". They're not necessarily genres, more like a target audience where the typical genres they read are grouped by. The clichés regarded to those sexes are just obnoxious to me. What if the female lead was made to be in certain genres mostly dominated by stereotypical self-insert male-lead harem/Power fantasies? And isn't sexualized? (And isn't from Narut—) This is a "male-lead story" because the fairly serious genres I would like to explore reside here. Target audience shmarget taudience. (I'm mostly also here as a cisgender female to poke fun at the books targeted towards you doods. How are you gonna insert yourself to me now—) Anyway, why am I here?

    Why are you still reading? Expecting a story? Want me to go outside and not look out for truck-kun? You wanna go isekai ja? 
    What? You think my monologue has been too long? All these webnovels and their first-person point of views, they're all basically monologues yuh dunce. So much telling. It makes me groan from disinterest missing my sweet old pal third-person. Let's journey to a different reality. Where you're not in my head and another voice is telling you what's happening.

    
    Akira stared off on the floor. Near a bed where its sheets rustled about, rising up and down. Thinking to herself, "What are my pronouns? Am I supposed to be described as a "she"? Or a "they", or a "he"? Why does it matter? Fucking words. I wanna be a dood. But I don't have a dick. And I don't even mind having a female reproductive system." Akira looked up at you, still thinking to herself. "Oh, you're not actually here, bruv—" 
    "Could you stop with the fourth wall breaks?" another voice barged in her thoughts.
    Akira stood up and looked out the window. Hearing the beeping of vehicles at a distance as sudden wind brushed through her hair.
    "Wanna die today?" she asked herself. "I'm not even that suicidal. I feel lonely in this world. There's a guarantee I'll get isekai'd here because I'm the one writing this crap."

This isn't working. I feel uncomfortable "inserting myself" when you're supposed to see through the "protagonist's eyes" and whatever. Wanna date me because "I'm a girl?" Is that what you're here for? Or you weren't really  planning to but now you're reconsidering because I presented the idea to you? If so, you were never mostly there for a female's character were you? Well, we barely know each other, and I doubt you'd actually like me from this weird mesh of personalities I have. Let's leave it at that. 

. . . I used to make author inserts, though. Because I thought the storytellers would be forgotten if their stories were too big for them to be remembered with. I placed "myself" in the story, so the readers could recall me. But it's more similar to the dynamic of George Lucas and Luke Skywalker. A few years ago, I thought being forgotten here would mean: I didn't exist anymore. I didn't want that to happen. But once in Science period, I stared at the name of an inventor on our text books who has been remembered for centuries, which, I had to add to because hi skool stoodent. I dreaded remembering information against my will especially when I thought I'd just forget about it later. Then realized, "I wouldn't want other people to feel the same way about me in the future." So later I concluded: I shouldn't care less if people remember me or not, positively or negatively; what matters most is if I left a significant mark that will improve humanity for generations to come, even after my mortal death. Hopefully I will . . .

    If you're so kind enough to think, "I'll remember you, Akira." That's not even my real name. And my time is up. You're going to meet the real Akira now.
    
    The wind brushed by from the open window. Flipping light novel pages on the floor. Revealing the cover of one that said, "Conversations With The Self". A skinny boy, not too tall but short, stepped inside the room. Seeing the open window, he tiptoed past empty cup noodles, chip wrappers, soda cans and bottles, doujinshis with some yaoi, manga, and magazines peaking through with stacked light novels beside video game consoles and a body pillow of a half-naked anime man; the boy passed through them all with disgust. "He said he'd clean his room today," the boy thought. Shuddering at the feeling of ramen soup on his feet, "Gross gross gross gross gross gross gross—" He flicked his leg in the air and the substance spilled on the bed.
    "Dammit, Akira." the man groaned and rolled to the wall. "Just take one without messing up my stuff and go." 
    "I'm sorry, older brother." Akira bowed. "By the way, you're window's open."
    "Just close it, 'short brother'."
    "Okidoki." Akira shut it gently, hearing a rushing motorcycle before it completely disappearing. While making his way back, he saw a light novel in front of the door. It was all covered in black, only having white text to look at. "Did you finish this one, too?"
    "Which one?" his big brother's muffled voice called out.
    "I haven't seen this one before," Akira picked it up. "The title says . . . uh— Hm. I can't understand it yet. It's English. And the cover is nothing but black."
    The man rose up, rubbing and blinking clear his eyes at the novel Akira stretched out for him to see.
    "Ah, that's 'Conversations With The Self'. Must've bought it by accident." he rolled back in bed. "I haven't read it yet, but it doesn't seem explicit. You can read it, bro."
    Akira gave his thanks and closed the door, thinking, "I wouldn't even understand." He turned the book to the synopsis section and was surprised to see Nihongo, "A teenager talks to himself and journeys across worlds within his mind.". Akira flipped open the first page, then the second, third, fourth, fifth, 20th; all of them were blank.

The Author controls the world and introduces a boy to a nightmare realm where he must survive criminal monsters and villagers; to find and convince The Killer to bring him back to the real world. But he's overpowered. Instead, a parallel version of him who's been through more suffering in the Nightmare Realm grows mad in his weakness, and must face off with his privilaged self. In a battle that will determine their life or death.

*May contain explicit and existentialist language that may be too boring for some readers. Also, shameless innuendos that may be too obnoxious for others. Viewer discretion is advised.

*CONWITS is written by someone who's been speaking in English practically since birth. They've been studying plot and storytelling for more than 3 years. Reading professional others' works, being nitpicky about ruined prose, grammar, plotline structures, execution and lesser characters from lesser platforms, and has been known to be so criticizing enough to ruin their self-esteem. 

*CONWITS is a smaller project to help the author destress from their planned bigger works that are too huge to handle at their current skill level. Basically, I'm procrastinating by doing something shittier.

*CONWITS is an isekai so edgy other isekai are like preteen boys trying to sound like Corpse Husband. 

*I'm kidding. It's not edgy yet.

*CONWITS could make you laugh if I've successfully brainwashed you this far.

*Although it's currently only 16 parts (10 chapters total), CONWITS has already surpassed 26,000+ words.

*The author tends to overwrite, but in a necessary way by the standards of published authors that have indirectly shared their experiences via novels, magazines, websites and YouTube. But I'll be adjusting my writing into something more bite sized and consumer-friendly. If you've read me thus far, you can make it through CONWITS :>. Thank you.

Try sharing Conversations With The Self with someone who might find it interesting! It would be funny if a newbie WB author like me suddenly won a gold in this year's Spring Spirity Awards. It's like that one time Nux Taku convinced 20,000+ of his followers to go up-vote Interspecies Reviewers on My Anime List to the point of so much drama just because he memed so hard. It was beautiful.

The author made a song of the main character! Called Generic Sun Gone West. Available in SoundCloud and YouTube, under the artist name kirasuten.

Some authors in chat talked about a book's worth. 

Most agreed that its value depends on the readers' willingness to pay for a novel. And the most selling here in WN are romance and h e n t a i.

Honestly, it is true in a sense that most authors who don't write these two genres or have the general audience receive lesser income to none. However, there are also other genres that are popular.

What saddening is that a story which has no s** will be buried deep in the list of books.

One time, a person told me that he won't read books without s**. I think you understand what I mean.

Sad... 

Those good literary authors will just choose Amazon. I totally agree with that.

But, is that what really makes a book valuable? So, the authors will just resort to writing stories with s**  since most will welcome it.

I feel sad if it is.

I've been reading and watching epic and classic stories like Mary Poppins, The Twelve Kingdoms, Fushigi Yuugi, The Vision of Escaflowne, Star Wars, Anne of Green Gables, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, and others. 

These are great books but I'm not sure if the new generation is still reading them.

Hoping they are.

So, what is the worth of a writer? Of a person's storyteller's heart and creativity?

Will it just be buried deep in isolation? Will it just be following the flow of readership and abandon its desire to produce good stories?

I disagree. We still love good stories. There are still more readers who love good reads. In fact, these type of stories are more engaging and imploring. Those epic stories won't be called epic if no one reads them anymore. They are classified as such because their worth is beyond trends.

They simply go against the flow and create a tsunami, leaving people awestruck.

That is the type of book I want to write. I prefer to be remembered as an author who writes good stories without compromising the principles I believe.

Don't get me wrong. There are still good books with a bit of those s** things out there that you can read. But they don't focus on those scenes but on the story itself.

I am a person who never follows trends. And I care less what people call me. I will rather be true to myself than to follow the crowd and lose my self-respect.

In my opinion, the worth of a story is not only on the business side but also on how much heart and effort the author gives to his/her books.

To authors: Let us enjoy writing good stories. Let us be proud of what we write for not everyone can be authors. And not all writers can finish a book. The truth, most books here are unfinished.

To readers: Support good books and give the authors that confidence to continue writing good stories. Without your support, the authors might give up. If no one read good stories, then there's no point on writing one. But I believe most readers still love those type of books.

Chapter 1
Becoming a Starter Level Author
by : 314 (Yang Chen)

Previously, in the general article on "Webnovel author levels' standards", I separated webnovel authors into five different levels. But actually, there's a hidden sixth level – total beginners that aren't even at starter level. This refers to complete newcomer authors that have zero experience and have never written a single word for a webnovel.

Still, not everyone needs beginner level guides, even if they're a pure newcomer. Of course, if you're an established author who has experience writing long novels, feel free to ignore this article and move on to the next one, regardless of whether or not your story was successful. Or, perhaps you've never written long novels, but have the natural talent to write as easily as you drink water. In that case, there's no need for you to read this beginner level article anymore.

In fact, there's even plenty of newcomer authors that feel like it's incredibly difficult for them to write a short, several hundred word long essay, or to write an end-of-year reflection. But, when such newcomer authors try writing webnovels for the first time, they find their minds clearing up, with the ability to write like they are possessed, with storyline flowing out from under their proverbial pens just like a stream of water. Newcomers like these naturally don't need to read a beginner level guide like this one, either.

Those who truly need to read this article are those who put their hands at writing webnovels, but find that their minds are empty or filled with mud the moment they open up their computer documents. Perhaps you're a newcomer author who tried thinking for an entire day but only managed to write a few hundred words that even you think is garbage.

In such a case, for newcomers like you, how should you improve your writing, and write your first thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand words? How do you take the first step in becoming a god of writing?

I personally believe that you can try the several following tips.

1: Adjust your mentality and create a precise writing goal for yourself.

Unlike most other jobs, success as a webnovel author doesn't always come step by step. Some sufficiently talented newcomer authors are completely capable of earning hundreds of thousands, or even millions, on their very first novel. A single novel can make an author into a master, or even a grandmaster. There are also veteran authors who have been stuck at a certain level for a long time who might one day have an epiphany and find a new writing style more suitable for him or herself, turning them into a master overnight.

However, the cruel reality is, no matter if it's a newcomer becoming a master overnight, or a veteran suddenly improving, there's one condition that's an absolutely necessary prerequisite—

The author needs to already have strong writing skills. This means that such a wonderful thing is unlikely to have anything to do with you who's reading this article, as you're not even at the beginner level.

For authors who aren't even at the starter level, there's only one goal that you should be setting for yourselves. That goal is to be able to naturally write a long novel. To be more specific, there's two major goals within this goal.

The first goal is to be able to imagine and finish a story that's approximately 500,000 words. Simply speaking, you have to be able to write long novels.

This is because the natural way how webnovels work makes it so that only a longer novel can bring greater benefits for the author. The novel's ranking, influence, and author's fame are all affected by the novel's length. To achieve a respectable degree in these areas, the novel will typically need to be at least 1.5 million words or longer.

Of course, from a professional standpoint, a story written for the sake of practice doesn't really need to have that many words in it. That's because in theory, an author who's capable of finishing a 500,000-word long novel has already learned the foundational writing skills necessary. As long as such an author has a complete outline for their story, writing two or three million words will no longer be so difficult.

The second goal is to be able to write approximately five thousand words every day. Simply speaking, you must be able to write quickly.

This is because there's a huge number of webnovels out there, giving you immense competition. Based on webnovel readers' typical reading habits, only stories that have consistent updates will be able to obtain and maintain popularity. For a super consistent release, the lowest requirement is to update at least two chapters per day.

One chapter might have an average of around 2500 words. At the very minimum, they should at least be longer than 1500 words. This is why, for a webnovel author to become successful, their writing speed must be at minimum three to five thousand words per day. When calculating this by months, this means that you need to write at least 45,000 to 75,000 words per month. This is the most basic requirement.

Those are all the prerequisite conditions for newcomer authors to develop into starter level webnovel authors. At this level, the quality of your writing isn't that important. Nor is the popularity of your novel important, either. Being able to write a long novel and write quickly are the two main goals that you as a newcomer author should strive for.

Something that should be noted is that at this level, you should pay more attention to improving your own ability, rather than worrying about your story. There are no tests for you, nor are there any grades. By the time you're in the middle of the story, if you notice that you're having an easy time writing and can easily write five thousand words per day, in addition to having a clear outline for your entire novel, then congratulations. This means that you're now a starter level webnovel author.

2: Choose an appropriate genre and topic.

With the development of webnovels, there's so many genres out there already – eastern fantasy, high fantasy, martial arts, xianxia, modern, mystical, historical, military, gaming, competitions, science fiction, fan fiction…

All these genres have their own specialties, and have different popularity factors and important things to keep in mind when writing. Also, they all have different degrees of difficulty when writing them. Still, what needs to be noted is that these different genres will have varying degrees of difficulty for different authors.

Perhaps one author will find it incredibly painful to write historical fiction, while writing a mystical story is fun and relaxing for him. Meanwhile, another author might find it incredibly easy to write historical fiction, while writing a modern day novel feels all sorts of awkward for her.

Obviously, for authors that are total beginners, you should choose the easiest type of story to write for you. But, what if you don't even know what genre you should be starting out in?

Allow me to recommend a few easy genres for newcomer authors.

1: Fan fiction

Fan fiction refers to using an already existing story's characters and setting as the basis to create new stories. This is a type of story modification.

For example, you could write a story and call it "Harry Potter and His Adventures". This story could be about how Harry Potter ended up with Hermione, or how he has multiple girlfriends. This is an example of a fan fiction about Harry Potter.

What needs to be noted is that in the large majority of situations, fan fiction authors don't actually have the copyright to their own stories. Even if you wrote every single word of your fan fiction novel by yourself, you still have zero right to use your novel for any commercial purposes.

But, even so, fan fiction is still one of the best choices for total beginner authors. The reason is that they are quite simple to write.

When writing fan fiction, you don't need to think about a complicated world background or any detailed settings. Nor do you need to create a large amount of characters. Even the fan fiction's story can be inspired from the original novel. All these things, especially creating the setting and characters, are what newcomers typically have the most trouble with.

Basically, writing fan fiction will greatly simplify the writing process, directly avoiding the most difficult part of all. Without a doubt, this is the easiest way for newcomer authors to get started.

As for what story to base your fan fiction on, it first needs to be a story that you as an author have already read and are familiar with. Also, it's best if it's a story you truly love, perhaps even reading it several times over. This is the basic requirement for writing fan fiction.

On top of all that, I would recommend choosing to write fan fiction about a story whose copyright has already expired, such as "Romeo and Juliet" or "Don Quixote" and so on. Or, it would be best if you could somehow obtain permission directly from the author of the work that you intend to write fan fiction about.

Of course, even if you have no way to contact the author or obtain their permission, it's still fine to write fan fiction. This just means that you can only write for free, without earning any profits, and also respect the original author of the work. After all, for newcomer level authors like you, learning and improving your writing is the most important part. Since your novels are unlikely to be commercially viable at this stage, it's not all that important even if you write a fan fiction novel that you're not allowed to profit from.

2. Modern novels

This genre refers to novels that take place in a modern day urban setting. The city background is typically where the author has lived and is familiar with.

Compared with fan fiction, modern novels have the added difficulty of having to create your own characters. Still, it does decrease the amount of trouble you have to go to in creating a setting. Not only that, when writing character introductions, you can save a lot of effort in having to explain a lot of common knowledge, such as what a character's job entails, or their social status. Saving all this effort is quite precious for newcomers.

And compared to fan fiction, modern novels have their own advantages as well. That is to say, the author can more easily write themselves into the main character, making the storyline easier to think about. Normally speaking, all you need to do is to give the main character a special cheat, or a unique advantage, and the rest will flow as naturally as water.

For example, there's a very popular modern novel with a reincarnated main character. The protagonist has only a very simple cheat—being reincarnated to several years in the past. This is quite an easy scenario for newcomer authors to insert themselves into. Just think about it, if you can reincarnate back to the past with all your memories intact, what will you do?

Most authors can probably imagine it. If you return to several years in the past with knowledge of the future, there's just far too many ways of earning money. Even if you have zero business skills, can't remember a single stock market pick, and don't remember who won the World Cup of Soccer, at the very absolute minimum, shouldn't you know something like what company you should invest in?

Apart from earning money, don't you, the author, have any other regrets as well? For example, do you regret not treating your parents better while they were still alive? Do you regret choosing the wrong major in college? Are you embarrassed at your awkward attempts to get a boyfriend/girlfriend?

And so on, and so forth. Why are you afraid of not being able to think of plots for your storyline and making it longer?

As for the specific details, those are quite easy as well. For example, if you intended to sell off everything you owned back in the day and take out a huge loan to invest in one specific company, what would your parents say, and how would they react? How would all your other friends and relatives react as well? Who would you try to borrow money from, and how would they respond? What's the specific process of investing in a company, and what procedures are necessary? What if the company you invest in temporarily loses value after you invest in it? Would your parents complain at you and tell you to retract your investment? And how will people react after the company you invested in suddenly does super well and you make a huge profit? And, what will you do with the money…

Just this one storyline arc about investing in a company has plenty of content to write about even simply by following the natural process of how people would act. And if you use that as the foundation and intentionally write some conflicts, such as how the protagonist discovered that his friend who he wanted to borrow money from is actually investing in a different company, how he pretended to have a casual attitude when opening up an investment account made the investment company female employee misunderstand him to be someone really rich, or how people scoffed at him after investing in a company and he made a bet…

Wouldn't you agree that all these related events can add plenty of content to your story? Not only that, it shouldn't be all that difficult even for a newcomer author to write such a story arc.

Even if you're one of the few who feel like you lack imaginative prowess, and you don't have the confidence to create interesting scenarios and conflicts, well, there's still one more advantage of writing a modern story—you can borrow ideas from plenty of sources.

The most direct sources of all would be television dramas, especially those set in the current day. This should be easy to understand.

Apart from television shows and movies, there's also hot topics in society, the news, or local gossip and family conflicts… These are sources that are easy to overlook or maybe often considered boring. But actually, it's quite common to make some modifications and write them into your own novel and borrow from such sources.

This is why, from a certain standpoint, modern novels are the easiest novels for newcomers to begin with and to write a long story about.

3. Imitations

Imitation type novels aren't a particular genre, but they can belong to any genre. While this may seem rather contradictory, it actually means that a newcomer author could try selecting one of his or her own favorite and most familiar novels and imitate it. This isn't limited by genre.

Imitation could be shallow, or it could be a close imitation as well.

To give a theoretical example, perhaps the original story has a main character named Zhang San, who's the son of the sect leader of Green Castle. Your imitation novel could try having a main character named Li Si, who's the son of the sect leader of the Wudang Sect. The original story had Zhang San falling off a cliff and miraculously surviving while also obtaining a book containing a miraculous cultivation technique. After he successfully powered up, Zhang San was sent by his father to go undercover in the Demon Sect, where he fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's daughter. Your story could try having Li Si being ambushed while cultivating and becoming seriously injured, but miraculously having a great breakthrough in cultivation due to overlapping coincidences. Afterwards, Li Si went undercover in the Demon Sect in an effort to investigate who ambushed him, and fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's granddaughter…

This type of imitation requires even less creative effort from the author compared to fan fiction. From a certain standpoint, this is really cutting it close to becoming plagiarism. Yet, it's still undeniable that this is a usable method for newcomer authors to improve their own skills.

But, please note that this type of writing style is only suitable for practicing your writing. If your story is too much of an imitation, it'll be impossible to even make it public. That's because unlike fan fiction, even if you don't use it for commercial purposes, you've still plagiarized and violated the original author's copyright. It might even spoil certain plots from the original story and affect its sales and popularity.

That's why this type of learning via imitation, in principle, isn't really one of the better ways to learn. More accurately speaking, this is the final way to learn available to total beginner authors that have failed at attempting all other self-training methods.

In normal circumstances, after half a month to a month of imitation practice, the author should have some more insight into writing. The author can learn how to design storylines and write descriptions. At such a time, the author can stop trying to imitate and begin developing a completely original novel on their own.

    I couldn't understand this frustrating feeling of being disgusted by my art. 
    Surely, I was improving but it just didn't feel right. 
    I half-assed the rest and gave up on it completely. I wanted to do something else. But what was it exactly? 
    I had an extreme urge to start writing this and not my more structured and cast driven novel. 
    I see all these hip new "eBooks" climbing up the internet and I mentally scoff whilst being painfully intrigued. 
    I see all these hip new web novels written in first person and—blech! I spit on thee. 
    My Asian ass growing up from physical and "real" books professionally written (often in third-person) and edited in English is my cup of tea. I'm adapting to this "new technology" like an old man, though. (I don't want your help~)
    I was the best in English every year at my class, spoke it so frequently with prowess that classmates and teachers were amusingly put off by yet another attribute I've nonchalantly acquired. 
    So when I wanted to soar through this web writing business and impress myself I thought, "Ha! I could do better than that." 
    And I never did. 
    I thought this was way too low a level for me. 
    What great way to start than from the bottom, though, to teach my inflated ego here a fucking lesson? 
    It doesnt really matter if a book is written in first person. It's the characters, the prose, the story—!
    Screw off, what even am I doing anymore? 
    I wanted to say this: what defines a "Male Lead"? 
    Stories here are divided into "Male" and "Female". 
    They're not necessarily genres, more like a target audience where the typical genres they read are grouped by. 
    The clichés regarded to those sexes are just obnoxious to me. What if the female lead was made to be in certain genres mostly dominated by stereotypical self-insert male-lead harem/Power fantasies? And isn't sexualized? (And isn't based from Narut—?) I'm half-assing so hard to be funny for you but at this point I don't even care anymore.
    This is a "male-lead story" because the fairly serious genres I would like to explore reside here. 
    Target audience shmarget taudience. 
    I'm mostly also here as a female to poke fun at the books targeted towards you doods. How are you gonna self insert yourself to me n—nevermind, this actually makes erotic sense. (Y'all need Jesus.)
    Why are you still reading? 
    Expecting a story? 
    Want me to go outside and not look out for truck-kun? 
    You wanna go isekai ja?
    What? You think my monologue has been too long? 
    All these web novels and their first-person points of view, they're all basically monologues. 
    So much telling. 
I sound like a boomer.
    It makes me groan from disinterest missing my sweet old pal: third-person. 
    I sound like an arse. 
    Did you know the word "arse" was featured in a dialogue from a famous Children's Fiction series, the Chronicles of Narniya? 
    On the first book? From a conversation between two kids?
    If society deems any kind of stick as a profane allegory for penises should the existence of sticks be prohibited? 
    "He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool." 
    I swear I read that in the Bible somewhere. 
    And Gulugulu isn't helping me, saying it's by "Bigsham Young".
    —Let's journey to a different reality. Where you're not inside my head and another voice is telling you what's happening.
    
    Akira stared blankly on the floor. 
    Near a bed where its sheets rustled about, rising up and down. A pair of glasses were folded beside the pillows. 
    Thinking to herself, "What are my pronouns? Am I supposed to be described as a "she"? Or a "they", or a "he"? Or a—Ahh, fuck it. It's not that big a deal. I don't mind not having a dick. But I'm also content with my female reproductive system, although it drags me into its monthly bitch fits." 
    Transitioning is too expensive. And it might degrade female representation if I trade my vagina for some male genitals. 
    I'm begining to think I've been sounding too explicit . . . They're scientific terms, jeez. Get your head out of the gutter.
    Akira looked up at you, still thinking to herself. "Oh, you're not actually here, bruv—" 
    "Could you stop with the fourth wall breaks? This isn't even funny." another voice said in her head. And another one added, "Who should I present myself as?"
    Akira stood up and looked out the window. "What character should I portray, to "fit in"?" She heard the beeping of vehicles outside as sudden wind brushed through her thick black hair, falling back to her shoulders. 
    "Wanna die today?" she asked herself. "I'm not even that suicidal. Should I visit a rampaging truck outside? What if it flies off the ground and frickin' crashes through this window—!" " 
    Akira heard nothing. 
    There was too much silence,  she sighed. Her eyes darkened. Her demeanor numbed to indifference. Akira turned to the man sleeping on the bed. All big mouthed and vibrating, from what she assumed to be his snores. Could he wake up so she could listen to his doubts and thoughts, his life and stories? What made him to be the kind of person he is today? Why does she not hear him?  Akira's eyes seemed to have gone to the back of her head, and yet her vision still clearly saw ahead. Her hands, and everything else became smaller, or bigger—like a doll's. Like a toy, like a puppet. She tried folding her fingers. Her vision became foggy. Her senses levitated, her hands were swimming through watery air. "There's a guarantee I'll get isekai'd here anyway," 
    She shook her head, banishing her thoughts. "because I'm the writer. That's essentially God status." 

    This isn't working. I feel uncomfortable "inserting myself" when you're supposed to see through the "protagonist's eyes" and whatever. 
    Wanna date me because "I'm a girl?" Is that what you're here for? Or you weren't really  planning to but now you're reconsidering the idea because I presented you the offer? If so, you were never mostly there for a female's character were you? Well, we barely know each other, and I doubt you'd actually like me from this weird mesh of personalities I have shown you. I doubt you were even in the mood from the dissociative state I've just described. I doubt you even thought about that at all, you don't know what I look like.
    Let's . . . leave it at that. 
. . . I used to make author inserts, though. 
    Because I thought the storytellers would be forgotten if their stories were too big for them to be remembered with. 
    I placed "myself" in the story, so the readers could recall me.
    But it's more similar to the dynamic of George Lukas and Luke Starwalker.
    A few years ago, I thought being forgotten here would mean: I wouldn't exist anymore. I didn't want that to happen. But once in Science period, I stared at the name of an inventor on our text books who's been remembered for centuries. And I was in begrudging academic need to apply his very specific existence into my brain's reluctant memory storage. 
    I dreaded remembering information against my will especially when I thought I'd just forget about it later. Then I realized, "I wouldn't want other people to feel that way about me (in the future)." So later I concluded: I shouldn't care less if people remember me or not, positively or negatively; what matters most is if I left a significant effect that will improve humanity for generations to come, one way or another, even after my death. 
    Hopefully I will . . .
    If you're so kind enough to think, "I'll remember you, Akira." That's not even my real name. I haven't done too much for you, either.
    And my time is up. 
    You're going to meet the real Akira soon.
