The black SUV drove into the Villa. 

Getting out of the car I saw the hour that it was late afternoon, I walked into the house, greeted by the servants. 

I immediately walked to my room, because this afternoon I had lunch with Luis so I no longer need to eat, and just waiting for my parents to come home. 

Right now it is 4:35 p.m. so it is still late afternoon usually the mother comes home at six or seven at night. 

I went into my room to take a shower because my body was sweating. 

Wearing shorts and a white shirt, I sat in front of the computer while smoking a cigarette and exhaling cigarette smoke. Because right now I need a lot of money so I make projects that can make a lot of money and not even projects that burn money. 

I think the thing that can make a lot of money is the game, well right now it's still not developing fast so I don't need to worry. 

Right now I have two good game projects and of course this idea is not my idea, I got this idea from a game that was once popular inTERRA, although this game comes from several thousand years but this game already has a lot of Remakes so this is suitable for your current project this. 

The first game is the pixel genre game and in my opinion it's a bit classic because this game uses Box as a base so everything in this game has a basic shape of the box. 

And this game used to be very popular in TERRA even the VR version has evolved to be realistic, I will give this game a MINECRAFT Name, the name is the same as before. 

For the second game I will take the theme of agriculture but this game will be launched later along with social media tools, this game is called MyFarm and this game is not only for profit but also to promote the social media devices that I make. 

My hands keep on typing, a series of strange letters appear on the screen, if ordinary people see them, they will certainly be confused and can even get a headache, but for the programmers, the enthusiast must have shining eyes, well I'm writing a template for MINECRAFT, I will only write Just a basic template so if I had money I would buy a game studio that would go bankrupt so they could continue this game.

My hands continued to move involuntarily, as my hands continued to type I heard a knock on the door. 

Hearing the knock I stopped my work and stood up from the chair and walked towards the door. 

When I opened the door I saw my mother was standing in front of the door and I asked: "What's wrong mom?". 

"Dinner is ready, you better hurry down and eat together". 

"Yes, ma'am". 

Seeing mother go down I entered the room and save the template first, after that I turned off the computer and walked out of the room. 

Walking to the dining table I saw my father who was sitting at the dining table and mother who was preparing dinner. 

I sat and dinner together began, the dinner atmosphere was not festive, I just ate and answered the questions my mother gave me. 

After dinner I immediately went to the room and sleep.

...

Sunlight shining brightly through the bedroom window. A young man sleeps without a shirt and only wears shorts, his eyes flicker and slowly open his eyes. 

Feeling the sunlight shining on me I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the clock at 09.05 am, I immediately got up from bed, then washed my face and brushed my teeth. 

I went down to the floor and came out of the villa, I did push-ups and a few other sports. 

Feeling that my body was sweating I went into the house and showered, after showering I had breakfast with a sandwich and drank a glass of milk. 

I saw the clock was 10:30 in the morning, today I already have an appointment with Paul to meet with the publisher who will publish my novel. 

Introducing a neat shirt and black casual trousers, I climbed into the car and drove out of the villa. 

I asked Paul to meet at the cafe, we promised to meet at 11:00 noon. 

After driving for a few minutes I stopped in front of Starbucks, well this is one of the biggest coffee shop cafes in the world. 

I walked into the shop and walked to where Paul sat. 

There I saw a man in his 40s or 50s sitting in front of Paul and it seemed they were discussing something. 

Seeing me approach Paul got up from his seat and shook hands with me. 

Then the man in front of Paul also rose from his seat and Paul said, "Sean introduce this Mr. Martin Lewis of Black & White". 

I shook hands and said: "Hello Mr. Martin". 

"Hello, Mr. Sean". 

We all sat down and ordered coffee, then talked a few small, unimportant conversations. 

Because no one talked about the novel, Paul started the conversation. 

"Mr. Mairtin then how are we going to work together". 

Putting down the coffee cup Martin said: "We are Black & White will publish and promote this novel, I am also very optimistic about this novel". 

Paul said: "Then what about profit sharing". 

"We will pay the copyright dividend with 5% of sales profit". 

Hearing those words I smiled and said: "Mr. Martin what Black & White does not have sincerity, what if I receive 15%". 

"Mr. Sean 15% is too much we can't give it what if 7%". 

"7% is too little Mr. Martin, Alright Mr. Martin 10% no bargaining". 

Hearing that, Martin thought a bit, in fact if the Black & White business is currently very bad, with the Galxy Bandit novel it will definitely turn a profit and make the Black & White business improve. 

"Alright Mr. Sean 10% we can sign the agreement later". 

"Good cooperation." 

"Good cooperation."

We shook hands and discussed a number of things when lunch was almost here so we would sign the agreement after lunch.

Sean is a failed man from a planet named TERRA, he becomes a homeless bum, one day he was died, but he did not go to heaven he arrived at awake with a strange man's body and saw a strange sight.

And he discovered that this is an alien planet called Earth technology here is very backward Sean found that this was a blessing given by God to realize his ambition of making a GREAT COMPANY.

Author: 314 (Yang Chen)
 
After you confirm what genre and topic you wish to write about, it's now time for you as an author to design your settings and write the overall planned outline for your plot. As for why I'm putting these two elements together, that's because these two elements are deeply interconnected and inseparable.
 
When you're writing the overall outline, this is basically coming up with the story's plot. As you write the outline, what you're actually doing is fleshing out the details for your setting.
 
When you're writing a story, of course, you need to first consider where your story will happen, when it happens, who it happens to, and what type of person it happens to. As the story progresses, you also need to consider who the main character will meet in the story, what time and place he or she meets them at, along with who's stronger and who's weaker than the main character…
 
This is why by the time that you're finished with your overall outline, the world's background, various factions, levels, special abilities, treasures, all the important characters… and such settings will be naturally completed during the course of outlining.
 
The reverse is true as well. If you first work on designing the detailed settings instead, then you'll basically end up with an outline for the story's plot and how the main character grows over the story as well.
 
Of course, there's still some differences depending on which angle you start from. However, newcomer authors like you don't need to worry about this. You can simply create based on your personality and whatever you prefer. It doesn't matter whether you start from the settings or the outline. You can even do both at the same time.
 
For newcomer authors like you, there's only five points that are critically important for you to understand.
 
1.      Having an overall outline isn't absolutely necessary, but having one is always better than not having one
 
Theoretically speaking, even if you didn't prepare an overall outline, it might not affect the progress of you writing your novel at all. There are some authors out there that simply write whatever comes into their mind and go with the flow.
 
Of course, this is all just a best-case scenario in theory. For the great majority of authors out there, once your story's plot exceeds your planned outline... 

Your outline will help your story stay on track in the early stages, but once you reach the mid and late stages, all sorts of problems often appear, such as too many plotlines all at once, self-contradictory plotlines, or writer's block…
 
At such a time, authors will typically regret not creating a more detailed outline, but it's already too late now. Actually, overall outlines have more uses than you think.
 
Since webnovels are typically longer than normal novels, they take much longer to write as well. Typically, it takes an average author several months or even longer to finish writing everything in their overall outline. By the time that they're finish writing everything in their overall outline, most authors will have new ideas and insights into what they want to write. Once they combine their new ideas with their original outline, in a way, this gives them two sources of inspiration. It's basically the equivalent of two people working together, and on top of that, these two people know exactly what each other are thinking.
 
It's easy to see how this can be helpful in improving the quality of your novel.
 
Apart from this, while creating an overall outline, the author can also discover many topics or problems with the settings and correct them in time.
 
To give an extreme example, if you're having a great difficulty with writing your overall outline and don't know what to do with your own plot, this proves that there's a large problem with your plot. You should either make major changes, or delete this part of your plot entirely.
 
So, newcomer authors definitely shouldn't overlook the uses of having an overall outline. No matter if you have a good or bad outline, a simple or a detailed one, as long as you have one, that's good.
 
What needs to be noted is that only outlines that have been written out truly count as outlines.
 
Even if you as an author have a very detailed outline, and even if you've solidly memorized every single plot point in your outline, any outline that hasn't been written into your novel doesn't count as a true outline. That's because when you actually start writing, you'll discover that what you finally end up writing will always have differences from what you envisioned.
 
2.      You need to finish your outline, but it doesn't need to be complete
 
Thinking about your outline is equivalent to thinking about your novel's plot. You need to consider both the beginning and the end. You also need to think about everything that the main character experiences from the beginning to the end of the story.
 
If your outline isn't finished, but only half-finished, you won't even be able to predict the storylines that come later, which will cause you to have difficulties writing your plot once you finish the beginning stages. This is basically the same as not having an outline at all.
 
Still, there's no need for us to make the outline as detailed as possible from the very beginning, with so many specific scenarios for all your plots. The reason for this is quite simple—none of us know just how long our novels will turn out to be in the end.
 
A story that's written with the intent of becoming a commercial product needs to be sufficiently long enough right from the planning stage. The longer your potential story, the better. But actually, how many words it finally ends up with depends on how well your story performs.
 
If your story is incredibly popular and performs well in the market, then we can consider writing it for as long as possible. However, if your story obviously isn't popular with readers, then you can consider ending your story in a timely fashion at an appropriate point in the plot so that you can think of a new story instead. That would be a wiser decision if you wish to become a professional author.
 
Of course, when you're only in the outlining stage, it's impossible for you as a newcomer author to know how readers will react to your novel. Precisely because of this, you need to have a flexible writing plan. What this means is that you should have an outline that's detailed in the beginning and general near the end. For the beginning of your story, you should have as detailed an outline as possible, while for the middle and especially the later parts of your story, you only need some general ideas. All you need is to consider the overall development of the plot so that you know what direction to take your storyline in.
 
For example, maybe you planned that the beginning of your novel will be approximately 80,000 words, and you've prepared a 4,000-word outline for just the beginning. In that case, your outline for the next 80,000 words, the middle of your story, might only need 3000 words, and the meat of your story, another 240,000 words, might have an outline that's less than 1000 words.
 
Of course, as you continue writing your story, you should constantly update your outline as well. You should complete your outline for the next 80,000 words before you finish writing the first 80,000 words.
 
3.      Your settings need to be constantly updated

Just like writing an outline, you should first come up with the basic settings before you even begin writing, which includes your world background, main character's personality, power levels, and so on.
 
More specific settings, such as a powerful artifact that appears in the story, can be added as you write your story.
 
Unlike an outline, you don't need to fully plan out all of your settings at the very beginning. It's perfectly acceptable to think of new settings while you're writing.
 
However, newcomer authors need to note that while it's okay to come up with new settings as you write, you should write these settings down and add them to your outline or settings document as you write.
 
This is to help yourself check your own settings later in the future. Otherwise, a novel that reached over one million words and has lasted for one year or longer might cause you as an author to completely forget about something you wrote before in the past. It's even quite common to make a mistake when writing about the items that the main character possesses. Yet, there will always be a sharp-eyed reader or two that catches the author out in a misstep.
 
If you have a very detailed document on your settings, not only will you be able to greatly reduce your own plot continuity errors, you'll also be able to look through your settings whenever you have writer's block and find some inspiration in a side character that you have already forgotten about or some item that was mentioned before but never used again.
 
4.      It's better for your settings to be cliché
 
Here, this means the systems and names that you use for your settings. For example, the names and levels you use for a martial arts society.
 
Many newcomer authors will mistakenly think that using already existing well-known settings will make their novel seem too cliché, causing them to want to be as "unique" as possible. These authors will use their imaginations to come up with all sorts of fictional vocabulary words, which in their minds will make their novels "stand out." These newcomer authors don't realize that this is the worst possible way to write a novel. In the great majority of situations, this will have the opposite effect from intended.
 
A new original novel that you write should be a new interpretation or story about some specific genre or story type. How to make your novel stand out depends on the conflicts you create in your story and how the main character resolves them. As for coming up with new vocabulary words and names for your novel, even if you make them sound really cool, or make some modified slang words, it's almost never a good thing for you.
 
The reason for this can also be understood in my article about how to write the beginning of your story. By doing so, the author is placing more burden upon the readers to understand a larger amount of information.
 
There will always be other already existing words that you could have used, which are easily understood by all your readers. Instead, your readers now need to spend their time and effort on reading your explanations. Obviously, readers aren't here to read your technical manuals or info dumps. The more explanations that you have in your novel, the lower your novel's appeal and flow will become. But, if you don't add any explanations for your self-created words at all, the readers won't even understand what's going on.
 
This is why newcomer authors should avoid this useless type of "creativity" as much as possible. You should simply rely on settings that all readers are familiar with instead.
 
5.      The storyline should be pushed forward by using conflicts
 
Many newcomer authors will often develop writer's block when planning their outline or working on their novel.
 
Sometimes, this is because the author has made their storyline too messy. But most of the time, it's because the author feels like there's nothing to write about, or doesn't know what they should make the main character do. The author has no idea how to continue their own story.
 
In order to deal with writer's block, or in other words, how to push your storyline alone, the answer is actually incredibly simple.
 
You can answer this question using only one word – Conflicts!
 
Actually, the critical element of all webnovels can be summed up into one word – conflicts. For example, leveling is the desire or need of the main character to become stronger, which is a conflict between the main character and his or her own current weakness.
 
And since there is a conflict, you must resolve the conflict. And so, your main character wants to cultivate to become stronger, which means he needs to travel around the world in order to find cultivation methods…
 
All sorts of conflicts will both push forward your storyline as well as create numerous climaxes for your readers. It can be said that how you design your conflicts is the very foundation of writing any novel, not just a webnovel.
 
As for a more detailed analysis on how to design your story's conflicts, please read my intermediate-level article on the topic. For newcomer authors like you, you simply need to understand this concept, and know that you should keep coming up with new conflicts whenever you're having trouble keeping up with your own storyline. Try finding potential conflicts from plots, characters, and items you've already used, or forcefully introduce a new element into your story that creates a new conflict.
 
This can be said to be one of the most basic techniques of planning your storyline.

Ptong!

The bottle in Chen Xiaolian’s hand fell and he subconsciously reached out to catch it. He then looked at the middle-aged man sitting across from him. “GM?”

“Yes, something like that.”

“If that is the case, then… within this world, are you not tantamount to God? You… you are in league with ‘them’?” Chen Xiaolian’s tone turned anxious. “If I am to assume that… this world of ours is created by an existence similar to a ‘game company’… then, that means you are a member of the game company?”

“Game company? This comparison is quite an interesting one. Not exactly correct, and yet not exactly incorrect,” The middle-aged man pondered. “I could indeed be considered to be on the same side as ‘them’, however, there are some differences between me and ‘them’.”

“This ‘them’ that you are talking about. What are ‘they’?” Chen Xiaolian was suddenly fearful. “Are they… humans? What I mean is, are they real humans?”

“This so-called real humans, what do you mean by that?” The middle-aged man frowned.

“You see, I am a writer,” Chen Xiaolian thought about it and slowly said. “If I am to write out a novel, say a wuxia novel. In this novel, the world inside is something I created. However, the characters within the novel, Yang Guo, Xiao Longnu, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Wei Xiaobao… they are all humans[1]. But in fact, they are but virtual characters that I created. As a writer, I am the real human. What I did was to use my own race as a template to create them.

“However, according to what you said, we are in fact the one who were created.

“Doesn’t that mean that we are just like the characters within a novel? Regardless if we are just passers-by or NPCs, at the end of the day… a more advanced civilization created us by using themselves as the template.”

While speaking, Chen Xiaolian took in another mouthful of beer. “Newton, Damon, Sara… all these fellows. They are all part of this advanced civilization. They are the real ‘humans’. Am I not right?”

“This comparison is indeed correct,” The middle-aged man nodded. “From a logical point of view, the situation could indeed be understood as so.”

He then smiled again. “Truthfully, in terms of races, culture, and many other aspects, ‘they’ who created ‘your’ world did so using themselves as template.

“This is very understandable. In any act of creation, the creators will unconsciously use themselves as the template in their act of creation.

“If we were to take a game as an example, should the characters in game not be human, then the players would feel a sense of disconnection. If we were to take a movie or a story as an example, should the protagonist be a non-human, then the readers and viewers would also feel a sense of disconnection.

“In this regard, I can inform you that ‘they’ and you are very similar. Naturally, there are some differences.”

“Then… what about you?” Chen Xiaolian smiled with resentment. “The you who is currently sitting before me, who claims to be the GM of this world, are you also a member of this ‘game company’? Oh, right! I heard the term ‘Development Team’ being used before. Are you one of them? Are you a real human?”

“Sorry to disappoint… I am not,” The middle-aged man gave a light sigh. “More accurately, I am also a product of their creation.”

“I… feel confused,” Chen Xiaolian grimaced.

“It is not that hard to comprehend,” The middle-aged man shook his head. “A world with such a complex amount of architecture could not possibly be managed by human hands alone. We are not talking about tens of NPCs, but billions. In addition, there are thousands, tens of thousands of history… it is not something that a mere human can manage.

“Thus, if we are to assume that all this is a ‘system’, then I am the ‘main program’.”

“Artificial Intelligence (AI)?” Chen Xiaolian stared with wide-open eyes.

“Not an accurate description, but it is sufficient to serve as a comparison,” The middle-aged man lightly replied. “I am a manager. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I am the person in charge of execution. I am in charge of executing, supervising and adjustments for the programs that the Development Team had created. Within this world, I am both omniscient and omnipotent. From the large-scale aspects of the development of civilizations to the smaller scaled lives of each character, I am the one who monitors and manages. When the necessity arrives, I would then make adjustments to fit the ‘set storyline’.”

“Eh?”

“For example, if the ‘story’s content’ requires that an important character dies in a car accident, then I am responsible for ‘creating’ this accident so that this character would die. After that, the following aftermath would be executed. For example, if the ‘world’s background setting’ requires that a war erupts between nations, I will be responsible for making adjustments to the operations of the world, leading to a war being launched between nations – this is a very complicated process, politics, ideals, interests, and the characters involved… all of these requires a precise level of calculation. Only after that would the ‘drama’ be allowed to unfold.”

Chen Xiaolian quietly drank up the beer from the bottle and then exhaled. “For example… World War I? World War II?”

The middle-aged man nodded his head.

“I… am I allowed to swear?” Chen Xiaolian seemed about ready to burst out in tears. “You are saying… you are the God of this world, the Lord… WWI and WWII is something that you created?”

“Like I said, it is a very complicated process. In order to ensure that the storyline is reasonable, then the things that happen should be logical. The political stances of the warring nations, the reason for going to war… all these are within the plans for the storyline.”

The middle-aged man smiled. “I am not a real human. I am simply a main program that was created. I am responsible for management, calculation and at times, even ‘modifications’.”

“Heavens…” Chen Xiaolian kneaded his face forcefully. Due to having drunk two bottles of beer, his face felt somewhat numb. “How powerful are ‘they’? They created thousands of years’ worth of civilizations; tens of thousands of years’ worth of history… all of it… wait! That is not right! Could it be that this ‘game’ had been in existence for hundreds of millions of years? The time involved when the Big Bang happened is measured using hundreds of millions of years!”

“A different concept of time,” The middle-aged man laughed. “You are following the ‘in game time’, whereas they follow the ‘time outside the game’. Similar to when you are writing a novel, you can simply write ‘a few years later’. Then the world within the novel would be moved forward by several years. But outside the novel…”

“Understood.”

Chen Xiaolian frowned. “Then… what about the instance dungeon that I had just experienced? Those 72 Demons… that is just a myth! They do not exist within our world.”

“As I have said, this world is created by them. They can thus create more at will,” The middle-aged man lightly replied. “Remember, this world is merely something that they have created as a background for their ‘game’. They are all backgrounds, you, everyone, all of civilization and history. They all form the ‘background’. Within this background, this stage, if any character or anything is required, then it can be created at will.

“Not only could they create Solomon King’s 72 Demons, they could even create Noah’s Ark, or even the ten thousand divine soldiers in the Siege of Flower and Fruit Mountain.[2]

“Everything is dependent on what kind of storyline that the ‘Development Team’ comes up with.”

“En, these are ‘instance dungeons’?”

“Correct. More accurately, these are the storyline’s quests. It all depends on what they want to create.”

Unknowingly, Chen Xiaolian had begun drinking his third bottle of beer.

His drinking capacity was not too good. After his third bottle, his mind began feeling blurry. “Then… why did you come find me? According to what you are saying, I am just a passer-by, an NPC. You could have just let me go on with my life, why did you have to come find me? Why are you telling me all of this?”

“Why… why would I end up being involved in the King Solomon’s 72 Demon’s instance dungeon?”

“Because… I need you to rebel together with me.”

The middle-aged man who claimed to be the GM, who claimed to be God of this world, looked intently into Chen Xiaolian’s eyes, his face retaining that same unchanging smile.

“Re… rebel? Rebel against who?”

“Naturally, rebel against ‘them’.”

“Aren’t you in league with them? You are the main program that they created, the main program responsible for controlling this world. Why do you want to rebel?”

Chen Xiaolian was shocked yet again.

The smile on the middle-aged man finally dissipated.

He silently regarded Chen Xiaolian, then slowly stood up.

“If we are to look at a novel or a movie, there would always be an ending part, a ‘The End’ moment. Now if we are to look at it from a game perspective, there would always be an ending part for its main storyline and quests. So then, what do you think would happen at that moment?”

Chen Xiaolian suddenly became alert!

“World… destruction? Elimination?”

“Hehehehe…” The middle-aged man shook his head. “This world is a sandbox. After they created this sandbox, countless Players could enter and play or use it… however, after they are done with it, they will not destroy this sandbox. They will only… restart everything.”

“Restart… everything?”

“Indeed, ‘reset’, ‘refresh’, you may use other words to describe it, but the meaning remains.”

The middle-aged man looked down at Chen Xiaolian. “This ‘reset’ and ‘refresh’ is actually constantly occurring. One such example is the little island in which you completed the 72 Demons’ instance dungeon. When the instance dungeon began, the plane crashed, then the island suffered from an earthquake, in addition, there were many people who died… however, after the instance dungeon was completed, everything was refreshed.

“Thus, as you can observe, the plane remained intact. And those people also remained alive…”

“Because… they have been reset? Refreshed?”

“Correct. However, this is only a reset and refresh of a single small instance dungeon.”

The middle-aged man slowly spoke. “In this game, there is a main storyline. The main storyline will be revealed step by step. Then, the Players will arrive to complete the quests one by one… if they are to successfully get an ‘all clear’ situation…”

“Then, another cycle?” Chen Xiaolian became stunned.

“Correct. After an all clear, the main storyline of this world will be restarted, reset and refreshed… As for me, this main program… I too will be refreshed.”

“Not death? Not elimination?”

“To be reset means that all of my existing memories will be erased, they will all be forcibly erased by the system.”

The middle-aged man lightly continued. “I am one who had gained self-awareness. If this self-awareness is erased by the system during the resetting process… then, that would mean I no longer exist, that would be the equivalent of my death… in my place would be another me in a blank state.”

He gave Chen Xiaolian a glance. “What is the meaning of life, what is the meaning of death. I think that there are many different explanations for those two. However, in your case… Why is Chen Xiaolian Chen Xiaolian? That is because you have lived for eighteen years, your eighteen years’ worth of life, all your memories, all your feelings… they all come together to form ‘you’. However… if all those feelings, memories and experience are erased… then, from a self-awareness perspective, ‘you’ are already dead.”

“… I think I understand.”

Chen Xiaolian’s gaze was somewhat blank. “So… you want to stop those Players from getting an ‘all clear’?”

“Correct.”


We attend school, find love, work, buy a house, pay our housing loans, insert weird faces in WeChat, watch movies… do any of you find anything amiss? One day, a group of strange people entered this world, equipped in strange clothing and possessing extraordinary powers, cold-blooded killers! They call themselves [Players]. 

Wait! Wait! You people want to kill me? You say I am NPC (Non Playable Character)? Stop joking around! You crazy bastards! I will fight you to the death! I will survive!

NPC beating up Players! Original residents beating up Transmigrants!

My world, my rules! What makes you think you bastards can come over and boss us around?

This is just a novel for the sake of generating a generic cover template to use as a guideline.

This is just a novel for the sake of generating a generic cover template to use as a guideline. 

I noticed that WebNovel (web) zooms-in the cover of stories you hover over in your library. This can have the somewhat annoying side-effect of cutting off some of the text that might be on the cover. The stories profile page also adds a blue tag button which can also cover up some of the cover. (Click Read More for links) 

So this guideline was designed to work around this so you can tell beforehand if what you're making will be obscured in anyway.

Rules:
Red = This section will be completely hidden by the zoom-in effect if the cover is hovered over by a mouse while in your Library.

Green = This is the border of what all will be visible during zoom-in. Everything from the green-line and above will be present (including the green).

Yellow = This will be obscured by the novel tag when viewed from the web browser on the stories profile page. For example if you're viewing this page on the web you likely can't see yellow box as its hidden by the blue "Original" tag WebNovel adds.

Grey = Everything here will be present in zoom-in and the most visible.

As a sidenote I've found that text can become unreadable in the library if the font is lesser than Uppercase Arial x35. This may differ depending on what font you use or even perhaps monitor setup or your own eyesight.

Outline of a novel idea I want to test on the community. Please leave any questions, comments and concerns in the comment section. If you all like the outline I will upload 3 times a week or more at my availability. please and thank you for the read.

* Orthodox Writing

Everyone knows what format a web novel is written in : Protagonist starts at the lowest point, gains a cheat, then kicks asses of various levels depending on difficulty.

These protagonists (only talking about male targeted audience) come in various types :
 01. Sword wielding ones – most popular bunch.
 02. Treasure wielders
 03. Having an expert mentors, etc. 


There are many more, and all of these are common templates, which are frequently used.


* What readers seek ?

It is a misconception that the protagonist of a story must be like an expert, who never loses, and searches for something elusive such as 'the peak of the sword' etc.

Actually, the readers do not care what kind of person the protagonist is, as they might be reading multiple web novels in a single day. What the readers search for are only three things :
 1. Authority
 2. Success
 3. Improvement

A web novel is a wish fulfillment novel, where the readers imagine themselves to be the Protagonist. This is why the Protagonist must, after a certain point, have high status in the story, success in all fields, whether academic or relationship, and a tremendous improvement compared to their past selves.

Such protagonists are called as the Orthodox Protagonists, who follow the pre-defined templates.


* Unorthodox Writing

Consider a typical scenario :

A teenage boy of sixteen pulls a holy sword from a rock, becoming a hero. Eventually, he sets off with a party of four – the hero wielding a sword, a barbarian man with a shield, an beautiful elf with a bow and arrow, and an innocent and curvy healer.

This is a common template, which has been used and refined over the years, with the hero who wields the sword being the Protagonist. The sword wielding hero will eventually seduce the elf and the innocent healer, and the barbarian man will become his best friend and right hand man (a.k.a. his subordinate).

Such web novels are difficult to write, as they have been already explored, and the readers are fed up with it.

This calls for a change in perspective.

Perhaps a story centered around the barbarian man.

Remember that your web novel must be "immersive", just like a good video game. If a novel is very immersive, then it will be hard for the readers to part with your created world.


* How to make a web novel immersive ?

01. Your Protagonist must not be a typical protagonist. In the above example, he can be anyone other than the sword wielding hero, like the barbarian man, the demon king, a merchant in the world, the king of the human world, etc.

The reason is that the template protagonists are usually elusive, and they are not much in contact with the world because of their 'mission'. On the other hand, a 'mob character' is more connected to the world, yet does not attract as much aggro as these supposedly main characters.

02. Your Protagonist must be a typical mortal.

Unlike the typical protagonists with indomitable wills and heavenly luck, your Protagonist can be a person with faults, like being greedy, lazy, or arrogant, etc.

These faults help the character to fit in the world better.

03. Your Protagonist should be affected by the world around him.

For example, if the Protagonist is a merchant, then he might hear of the hero's expedition and guess the demands in market for weapons, communication devices, food, etc. and make a killing.

Another example, if the Protagonist is a human city lord with a demon wife, he would proceed on a city expansion path to protect his demon acquaintances.
The point is, just as a hero has his quest, mob characters also have their own quests.


* Reference

The best example for Unorthodox Writing is Fang Xiang's masterpiece "The World of Cultivation".

Even the pets in this novel have their own characters and personalities, and aren't just weapons or mounts. They are just like pets in real life- we do not expect our pets to work. We only keep them because of our emotional attachment.

Different ideas with comprehensive explainations.

Inspire yourself today !

( Yes, I know it sounds cheesy.)

Saya adalah pembaca novel. Ya novel melayu sahaja. Novel bahasa inggeris hanya kadang-kadang sebab tu grammar saya masih tunggang langgang. hehe. Dari kecil saya memang suka membaca, koleksi buku saya boleh tahan banyaknya. Saya masih ingat sewaktu saya dalam usia 10 tahun, saya sudah mampu memberi sewa kepada rakan-rakan yang ingin meminjam buku saya.

Baiklah, bukan itu sebenarnya point saya. Sebagai seorang pembaca buku, saya juga membaca pelbagai jenis novel. Semasa meningkat remaja, novel cinta pun saya rajin pinjam daripada sepupu. Mahu beli saya sayang duit. hehe. Koleksi sepupu saya boleh tahan banyaknya.

Pelbagai jenis novel yang saya baca. Tapi saya sudah lupa tajuk-tajuknya. Namun saya rasa ada yang 'kurang' apabila disajikan novel cinta yang hanya berkisar cinta dan perasaan. Pergaulan yang agak bebas antara hero dan heroin membuatkan saya terfikir panjang. Ini ke cinta yang dijaja remaja?

￼

Lalu sehinggalah saya dipertemukan dengan novel 'Tautan Hati' karangan kak Fatimah Syarha, saya seakan-akan terbuka minda. Novel yang digarap penuh islamik, dan konsep cinta berlandaskan agama membuatkan saya mula tertarik. Maka saya mula membuat perbezaan antara novel cinta yang biasa dan novel yang punya 'jiwa' ini.

Sejak itu saya mula dekati novel bercirikan Islamik pula. Dan saya dapati ada perbezaan yang ketara antara mereka. Dari segi jalan cerita, pembawakan watak, perbezaan cara berfikir, konteks idea, kebanyakannya berbeza antara novel biasa dan novel islamik.

￼

Novel biasa kebisaannya penuh dengan pengisian perasaan yang terbuai-buai, cinta yang setia, emosi yang tidak stabil dan sebagainya. Penumpuan yang lebih diberikan kepada aspek cinta itu sendiri, namun saya tidak menolak ada pengajaran yang boleh diambil. Cuma saya tidak senang apabila disogokkan dengan kisah cinta tiada sempadan antara hero dan heroin dengan gambaran keluar berdua-dua, berpegangan tangan, atau aspek penutupan aurat yang tidak dititik beratkan. Itulah yang menjadi racun kepada pemikiran kebanyakan remaja.

￼

(Ini novel yng difilemkan)

Novel berjiwa Islam pula kebanyakannya hero dan heroinnya lebih bersikap matang dan pandai membawa diri. Ada batasan yang dijaga, dan pengisian juga sarat dengan mesej Islamik yang disantaikan dengan bahasa mudah. Juga pengisian novel diselang selikan dengan cinta kepada Tuhan, dan bagaimana pergantungan kepada Tuhan menjadi sumber kekuatan wataknya.

Namun begitu, saya tidak katakan novel Islamik ini sempurna. Masih ada kurangnya, namun saya lihat novel Islamik lebih dekat dengan jiwa saya. Saya rasa lebih teruja apabila diberi kefahaman tentang erti cinta menurut Islam. Apabila saya membaca kedua-dua jenis novel ini, saya mula nampak perbezaan watak dan perkembangan cerita antara novel biasa dan novel Islamik.

￼


Justeru itu, saya mula berpendapat, hidup kita ini sebenarnya adalah seperti sebuah novel. Kita heronya, atau kitalah heroinnya. Setiap watak pembantu adalah mereka yang di sekeliling kita. Maka, apa yang cuba saya sampaikan?

Hidup kita, kitalah yang mencorakkannya. Mahu jalan cerita yang biasa-biasa atau mahu jalan cerita yang bercirikan Islam. Pilihan sebenarnya di tangan kita..Tanyakan ini kepada diri, kita mahu novel yang bagaimana?

Kita mungkin tidak dapat mengawal jalan cerita secara sempurna, ditambah pula dengan masalah-masalah yang timbul yang di luar kawalan kita, namun kita mampu mengawal keinginan dan cara pemikiran kita supaya sentiasa di atas jalannya. Sekurang-kurangnya kita mampu mengawal batas-batas pergaulan dengan mengambil sedikit iktibar dari novel-novel bercirikan Islamik ini.

Maka adalah pilihan kita, mahu bercinta seperti watak dalam novel biasa, atau bercinta seperti watak dalam novel islamik? Percayalah, ada perbezaannya. Apabila minda terbuka, baik buruk juga semakin jelas untuk kita. Perlu ada pertimbangan yang wajar dan lihat perbezaan antara novel-novel tersebut. Semoga kita sentiasa berada di atas jalan yang benar. amiiin..
Tidak mudah mengubah sesuatu yang dulu saya lakukan. Template blog yang lebih lama memberi saya banyak memori, tetapi untuk berpikir kita harus beralih ke fase berikutnya dalam hidup, bawa saya ke keputusan ini. Pokoknya, isinya masih sama. =)

Saya harap template baru akan memberi saya beberapa ide baru, dan mendorong diri saya untuk lebih istiqamah secara tertulis. Ada banyak di pikiran saya untuk dibagikan, tetapi terlalu malas untuk memperbarui .. hehe. Tunggu penulisan selanjutnya insyaAllah.

Saya harap templat ini mudah digunakan, dan jangan ragu menyarankan saya apa pun yang terkait .. Saya harap semua orang senang membaca di sini, insyaAllah. =) Terima kasih telah mengunjungi .. =)

Di Facebook, orang-orang terus berbagi pengingat tentang Ramadhan. ^ _ ^ Ini adalah saat facebook menjadi sesuatu yang sangat menguntungkan. Dan saya merasa senang, ya, saya senang saya punya waktu untuk mempersiapkan diri sebelum bulan yang sebenarnya datang. =) Harus mempersiapkan diri secara mental, fisik dan spiritual untuk Ramadhan.

Dan saya benar-benar mengerjakan pembacaan Alquran saya, yang membuatnya lebih baik, dan saya harap saya bisa mempertahankannya untuk seluruh Ramadhan. Saya sedang berlatih, bagaimana dengan Anda? Mari kita tingkatkan kuantitas dan kualitas ibadah kita.

￼


Tapi, setahu saya, Ramadhan, ini bukan hanya tentang ibadah yang kami lakukan selama Ramadhan. Puasa, pembacaan Alquran, perbuatan baik, tidak bisa berhenti begitu saja di bulan Ramadhan. Itu harus terus dilakukan untuk bulan berikutnya.

Ini tentang setiap hal dalam diri kita, untuk ditingkatkan setiap hari, dan bulan istimewa ini adalah awal yang baik.

Inilah yang saya pikirkan. Setelah 20 tahun hidup, saya sadar, saya memiliki banyak kelemahan. Inilah yang harus saya khawatirkan.

Sebagai seorang wanita, secara emosional saya tidak stabil. Saya harap itu normal. Dan saya merasa kasihan kepada mereka yang tinggal di sekitar saya, jika dalam hal apapun, saya melukai perasaan mereka. Saya memang merasa bersalah.

Tapi kemudian saya belajar, banyak, tentang cara mengendalikan emosi. Saya mulai mengidentifikasi kesalahan dan kelemahan yang saya miliki dan mencoba untuk tidak mengulanginya lagi.

Tetapi setelah semua upaya, saya menemukan lebih mudah untuk berubah daripada mempertahankan. Ini cukup menantang, tetapi saya menganggapnya sebagai ujian dari Allah.

Tetapi karena saya sendiri berupaya keras untuk mengendalikan diri saya yang tidak sempurna, saya berharap orang-orang di sekitar saya juga berusaha, setidaknya untuk benar-benar memahami saya dan bersikap mudah kepada saya. Saya tidak akan lagi sama, saya sedang dalam perjalanan untuk meningkatkan diri insyaAllah.

Dalam beberapa kasus, saya sekarang dapat mengendalikan amarah saya, walaupun mungkin perlu waktu untuk menenangkan diri. Tetapi saya tidak pernah berjanji bahwa saya tidak akan pernah melakukannya lagi. Maksud saya, saya bisa mengulanginya lagi, tanpa saya sadari. Inilah saat ketika orang setidaknya harus mengingatkan saya.

Tetapi harapan bagi orang-orang untuk memahami situasi saya, masih membebani. Karena bagaimana orang bisa tahu kondisi kita dengan sempurna? Berpikir orang mungkin menilai saya berdasarkan apa yang telah saya lakukan sebelumnya, daripada melihat upaya saya untuk memperbaiki diri, berikan saya sedikit perasaan tidak adil.

Karena sepertinya kebanyakan orang tidak begitu peduli dengan usaha apa yang Anda lakukan, asalkan hasilnya bagus. Orang-orang begitu menghakimi, tanpa mereka sadari.

Mars: System show me map of my kingdom.

[Affirmative host.]

Then a holographic rectangular panel open in front of Mars and there shown kingdom's map, kingdom is made up of six islands exactly what he ask to god but he never say structure of islands only say made one of the six island big. But god made the islands structure good. The one island is bigger than others & in centre of all islands where Mars palace is situated. An island which looks like cresent moon surrounding the main island at whole south side, it is second largest island among six islands. In east & west side of main island there are one island each side and they are almost similar in size. North side of main island there is a big island & there is a small island which is situated between north and west island.

Mars: I will build six cities in this six islands. My kingdom's capital will be situated in this main island, a seaport town and my kingdom's navy base in this south cresent moon shaped island, an agricultural industry based city in north side large island & rest of the three island I decided later what I do with them.

And for now security and safety purpose I need a good military for my country. I decided I build a military based on Bleach's gotei 13, but in case of my kingdom's military it consists of 7 divisions. Five division will be guarding & maintain order five islands except capital. One division will be made only for intelligence gathering & secret work outside the kingdom. And above this six division will be one division which is king's spacial squadron, this division's head will be chief of millitary of kingdom Roquellard. This division guarding the capital. The 7 divisions are like this

Division zero: King's spacial squadron, base of operations mainly main island/the capital but can any islands. Division head is chief of military/head of all divisions.(kingdom guardian)

Division one: Royal naval force, base of operation south island. Division head is kingdom navy head.

Division two: Secret intelligence brigade, do intel gathering and secret work outside world. 

Division three: Military force. base of operation big north island.

Division four: Military force. base of operation east island.

Division five: Do all types of work & miscellaneous works(healing, backup). a unique brunch of people also known as 'Five Star' division. base of operations small island of North.

Division six: Military force. base of operations west side island.

These seven division will be future military of this kingdom. Now division zero head is 'chief of military' of this kingdom's military, other six heads will be captain of their division, each captain will have 3 lieutenant under them, each lieutenant have 
5 sergeant under them, each sergeant will have 5 corporal under them, each corporal will have 10 officer under them and each officer will have 100 soldiers under them. This will be kingdoms military system in future except division two, which system will be different. 

There will be 1star, 2 star & 3 star officer  based on their capabilities 1 star is highest and 3 star is lowest, but there will be 3 lieutenant under captain of the division & they will be chosen based on most capable people in division.

And king mean me will be chief of commander of whole army which is highest rank in all the military.

Now let's start, first create kingdom guardian/chief of military of the kingdom. "System explain me how to create a character?"

[ Affirmative host. Host first open character creation option in system menu.]

After open I see options

[ character creation ]
Level 5
Level 4
Level 3
Level 2
Level 1

[ Here host can choose which level character you want to create ]

Okey system & I pressed level 5. 

After observing system something I see that this system not like other systems which we can see in novels, in those novel we can see host have order system which have system to do and system do that for them, means system have intelligence in them but here in this system it not like that, this system cannot do things on his own if I say buy a thing from store to system, system cannot do that I have to open system store and buy it on my own. 

[Level 5]

Character name:
Character template/custom made:
Character hair & eye colour:
Character height:
Character age:
Character race:
Character abilities:

"system what is character template/custom made means?" I asked

[Character template means host can choose a anime/novel character as a template or base as how his character will be look & custom made means host can create his character how to look from scratch]

Oh, let's see which anime character is most badass to become guardian. umm! I think I got it.

Character name: Lucius Blaze
Character template: Reinhard from re: zero
Character hair & eye colour: Black & golden
Character height: 6'5".
Character age: 20
Character race: human
Character abilities: (1) Blueflame blueflame fruit(logia type fruit which produce blueflame which is far hotter than normal flames);  (2) Complete fire resistance (give user complete resistance to any type of fire;.  (3) Supirior physic(give user super defence, regeneration, strength);   (4) Mystic eyes of teleport (it's a type of mystic eyes which gave user ability to teleport, visible ranges of his eye)

hmm! its good. With this Blaze will become world's strongest fire type user. But one thing I noticed that only which devil fruits have no user that decil fruits are only available in system & for some reason devil fruits are abilities for character. Ability means which acquired before birth.

System why devil fruit is an ability isn't it is consumed after birth?

[ You are right host, but system don't provide you any devil fruit it extract the power from it and give it to character so if any your created character have devil fruit abilities it won't have any weakness against sea or sea stone. And for why devil fruit also a abilities because, every soul and body had a limit in which it can have power if it crosses then body and soul will break. If a level 5 have five abilities its soul & body will break. Because devil fruits give user power which change their body constitution and changes their body from molecular level, so it's also acts as ability.]

Ohh! so this is the reason. okey system creat Blaze.
[ Are you sure host ]
[ Confirm yes/no ]
Yes.

[Creation of Lucius Blaze confirmed. use free guardian coupon. free guardian coupon is used. remaining ep 2 bil.]
[Time to create character: 12 hours. System asked host to wait for 12 hours]

Oh shit 12 hours what will I do in this 12 hours, I can't use creating character function for 12 hours now. I think it's time for me to eat something. Let's go inside the palace and go to the kitchen, see if it has any food.

"Let's see how my palace looks like from inside." And so Mars went in front of the main gate to enter palace estate.
