i wouldn’t suggest to learn how to write from chinese (or japanese) webnovels, but your title has many similarities with their titles.
“The strongest martial brother who was trash”
“The family’s weakling reborn”
“Counter attack of the second strongest female lead”
I invented them all right now but they are a good example of what I mean. I’m not assuming anything but the “The Strongest Weakling” seemed somehow familiar.
Ah, okay. I just thought that The Strongest Weakling had a nice ring to it, and was fitting cos’, y’know, the lack of powers in a superpowered area.
I’ve changed the game description and the layout of the main post to be a bit more interesting. Hope you like it!
The new game description looks good imo. Might wanna put a spoilers tag at that last part tho
Got it.
Hey, quick update here. First of all, I’m closing the poll related to donations. It seemed to be quite split, with 22 against, and 26 for. I’m gonna just play it safe and hold off on donations for now. In its place, I’m making a new poll. Currently, the date is August 31, 2020. I’m gonna keep this open till September 7th.
You see, the thing is, I do not consider myself a good writer. I consider myself half-decent at best, and absolutely TRASH at worst. And, I am someone who is creative, yeah, but isn’t too good about coming up with ideas too quick. So, I wanted to ask about making a Discord server, perhaps? Where people could share their ideas and maybe give me some writing tips?
Look, I’m gonna be completely honest here. I look around the COG community, and most of the authors have shit like Discord servers and donation accounts and shit like that, and, some of them are still in WIPs, it’s not like they’re making a sequel, they’re new projects with a lot of support! And, I’m trying to see what made those successful, and adapt accordingly. But, these sorts of accounts, Discord servers, donations, shit like that? I’m asking you guys because I’m pretty sure that I don’t have enough clout to just make these things and have people agree with it. Basically, I am HORRIBLY indecisive about what I should do, especially in terms of gaining a following.
So, yeah, that’s about it in terms of what I wanted to vent about.
Here’s the damn poll.

Stop. Take a deep breath. Relax.
We can help you here more effectively, since many of us don’t have Discord and the nature of Discord doesn’t exactly allow for much advice.
I’m not opposed to the idea, just sharing my thoughts 
I’m not exactly the best person to tell you this, but;
I can feel you, alright? Your problem is more relatable than I would like to admit. Heck, I think it’s relatable with almost every author (aspiring or established) on this forum.
So…I would tell you to do what you want to do. Just take your mind off the clout and marketing stuff. Just enjoy the process. Nothing of this whole WIP affair is mandatory or something like that. Nobody’s pressuring you. We certainly aren’t.
That’s what the Hosted Games label is about. It isn’t about professional standards, it’s about fan standards. It’s what we can create with the best of our abilities and nobody can judge us for it. Why? Because we gave it our best. And that’s enough.
So yeah, those who enjoy your content doesn’t need those fancy Discord servers or those popular Tumblr blogs. They’re going to support you anyway.
That being said, you can open up a Discord server or a donation channel if you like. It’s your choice, and we can’t influence it.
If you need to vent more, here’s the resident emotional outburst thread.
If you need help with your writing, here’s the Writer’s Support Thread. We’ll try our best to help you
Try not to think about it too much, eh? Good luck 
Alright. You’re right, I’m kind of getting too obsessed with the clout shit. I’m gonna take a deep breath, and stop giving a shit about anything other than telling my dumb story.
Thank you for your advice.
I just read through the demo, and I have to say it was very intriguing and I liked it a lot. I’m planning on doing a second read through so I have something more productive to say. One thing I noticed is that there are like way too many ellipsis. I think the average 3 “…” is enough to show a pause. Seeing more than that usually breaks my immersion in reading due to how awkward of a pause it implies. Just a thought, not a big issue
Yeah, I figured. Don’t worry, that’s the next thing that I plan to fix. Now, if only I can fix the bug that makes my writer’s block exist
Is their going to be descriptions for the people you meet in the stats screen i usually forget who im talking to and what they look like if not its whatever im still going to enjoy the story either way
So can i really just kill anybody that gets in my way i always really like having that option. And since you have zero power the only i see you getting any advantage over others is with technology.
Good idea, I’ll add that in the next update!
I don’t think I’ll give that option…
…yet.
then how about some trickery and/or silver tongue action? ÚvŪ)
Obviously! You’re gonna be taking every advantage possible to win.
Hand holding is absolutely shameful act without 41 letters approved by a 3rd party chaperone, and 7 chaste meetings among parents.
Ok I liked the hand holding joke in the suggestive warnings. Sex drugs rock and roll are all cool but hand holding or hugs that’s serous M rating…head pats are ok as long as there is less than 5. 
Anything more than that is punishable by the Head Pats Approval Act 1997.
That is true. I have made extra precautions to be in accordance to the law.
Sup. Gonna have a quick update.
First of all, writer’s block is HORRIBLE, and I couldn’t come up with anything new or exciting yet. So, I decided to flesh out the stats screen, which will be happening soon. Then, I DID add 2-3 more pages, which shows the main internal conflict I plan for your MC to have. And finally, I plan to have cool-ass chapter title logos. Which is exactly what I wanna talk to you guys about.
Now, I already have a couple ideas for headers, but I don’t know what to use, and I could use you guy’s help. And don’t worry, this time I’ll actually act on the damn poll.
maybe.
Anyways, yeah.
The designs I’m going for are either:
Jagged words: This is there, just because it looks cool, nothing symbolic or pretentious or anything like that about it. Basically, the words are just edged and have spikes.
Slightly distorted words, like a glitch: If I do this, it’s gonna symbolize how the MC is kind of like a glitch, since they had a 10% chance of being born, because being Powerless is so rare. So, they’re a glitch in the system. Plus, it looks pretty cool.
Shattered look: Basically, the chapter title’s gonna look like glass, which is broken, because the MC is…let’s just say not the best, mentally.
So, yeah. Please vote, and I’ll see you guys in a day when the poll closes.
