Synopsis

At the press conference, reporters bombarded Chen Xing with questions. "Can you explain how someone as young as you clinched the championship? We heard accusations from other contestants that you've been cheating? Is that true?" Chen Xing shoved the microphone that was pushed up to his nose away, his face filled with annoyance, "I want to state again very seriously that I haven't cheated!" As his words ended, Chen Xing waved his hand and summoned a behemoth that blotted out the sky, then jumped onto its back. "Damn it, I can't stand this anymore. Just because I raised them well, they say I cheated? My crocodile accidentally ate a demon, and that's cheating?"

Words that are too trendy or faddish should be avoided in novels. For instance, if you use a lot of the latest slang that might be popular at the moment but will quickly become dated. This can make your novel seem less timeless. Additionally, overly long and convoluted words just for the sake of sounding 'intellectual' can be a turn - off. Simple, clear language often works best. Words that are overly brand - specific can also be a problem, as it can make the story seem like a commercial for a particular product. For example, instead of saying 'I drank a Coke', you could say 'I drank a fizzy cola - type drink'.

One way is to focus on the emotions and relationships in the story rather than the physical aspects. For example, describe the characters' feelings for each other, like their love, admiration, or friendship. Another way is to use more euphemistic expressions. Instead of direct sexual words, you can use phrases that imply the situation in a more subtle way.

One way is to expand your vocabulary. Read a lot of different types of literature to expose yourself to a wider range of words. For example, if you find yourself always using 'big', try using 'enormous', 'gigantic' or 'colossal' instead. This will make your descriptions more vivid and less repetitive.

Be more conscious of your writing. When you write, take a moment to think about the words you are using. Are they the best words to convey your meaning? If you find yourself using a crutch word, try to rephrase the sentence. For example, instead of 'He was sort of sad', you could say 'He was a bit melancholy' which gives a more specific and nuanced feeling.

One category of words to avoid is those that are overused in a particular genre. For example, in a romance novel, words like 'love' can become tiresome if used too often without adding new depth or meaning. Instead, you could explore different aspects of love like 'adoration' or 'infatuation'. Another aspect is avoiding words that break the flow of your narrative. Long, convoluted words that make the sentence hard to read should be used sparingly. Also, words with multiple meanings that can cause confusion in the context of your story are best left out.
