J.P? You okay???

Definitely down there for TWA per the response I ain’t Inventing a hundred SciFi Languages when Everything else in the Story set’s the Vibe just Fine enough to get by with a Perfectly Great Experience You get English or You get nothing I Know My Choice

30s and 40s: Nazis Cold War: Communists War on Terror: Radical Islam What will be America’s next enemy that can be villainized through science fiction?

I find funny how "Battle: LA", a movie where both the title and the premise are peak cliché, actually puts effort into giving the aliens actual good writing. - The aliens are really after a rare natural resource - The aliens actually use good tactics - The military is actually smart - Our weapons can kill them.

Don't forget to have them pull a solution out of their ass at the last second and then go "Actually everything that has happened in the plot so far has been according to my plan. I actually think 20 steps ahead and have 50 backup plans at all times" because that's totally how smart people think

Where are you?!

Whole lot of people railing against the good=dumb and evil=intelligent dichotomy. That's fine but everybody keeps talking like its unrealistic? Like every major human leader wasn't basically a dark lord to some group or other? And like the pattern of our existence isn't consistently idealism being quashed by realism? I mean go ahead and tell me how many heroic politicians we have in the US. If you named a single one, you're lost to propaganda because we have none. Zero. They're literally all evil in a verifiable almost measureable capacity. Goodness and intelligence have never correlated in any species. Goodness and cruelty, though....

As a side note, having your comic relief character who kick starts all the bad things that happen through idiocy, stupidity, or clumsiness actually turn out to be the evil mastermind hiding in plain sight can be an interesting plot. Like the Darth Jar Jar theory.

Do you ACTUALLY want to make a urban fantasy story well look no furthers cuz there's Three simple steps 1 play mother 1 and 2 earthbound if you're a freedom loving American 2 take notes 3 You're there

I saw in a video by semydeus (or for the gringos demygod) that Alice in the wonderland can be considered a isekai‚ because it's about a protagonist from a modern time going to a fantasy world So yes... Probably lewis Carroll accidentally inspired many Japanese people‚ and then It was created one of the biggest plague of anime industry‚ and that's why I hate him

3:53 ...wait, how did you pronounce necromancy? that's a new one

If you want love triangles, just listen to operas. That is the genre in which love triangles are always shoehorned in whatever the situation it is. War included 😀😀.

Wow, what a twist! I did not see that coming! What an incredible conclusion to this amazing story arc!

I loved how you had the like button glow when saying ulterior motives. I liked and subbed because of that alone. 😅

This works wonderfully with superpowers / magic too. Instead of actually understanding real racism, give a race of super special people powers who are hated for their gift! Don't forget to be oblivious to how this correlates with white victomhood complexes and not antiblack racism!

this guy fuckin quits after bashing on my favourite genre

Don’t forget that a story doesn’t have to start grimdark to be improved by it. For best results, write a normal enough story, then right before the climax, pull whatever convoluted stuff you need to suddenly turn it into an edgy mass murder spree of the characters you spent the entire story knowing and interacting with, with everything that happened in the story just being thrown away in favor of pointless edginess and cheap shock value. Nope, not basing this comment off of any garbage RPG maker games I’ve played, nope. Especially not one with FUBAR development priorities and a lazy and insane head developer that stalls development via unnecessary overhauling of the entire game every update, wasting time on entirely unnecessary stuff and sudden long vacations for patreon subscription bucks (when the game itself is based on an IP owned by DMCA lovers) when he’s not taking TWA at face value while using it as a checklist Don’t know where you’d get that idea.

kinda hate that most rebels barely has a reason to fight for a certain cause. it's almost like they join it because they're bored.

But did you read the wandering inn

05:20 - Dwarf Fortress! Even in this franchise, the skills are inconsistent in major part of scenarios 😅

pop offffffffffffffffffffffffff

Miss your videos. Can't wait for the next one :)

The greatest GRIMDARK story I have ever seen is the anime death note

Unironically the best use of filler is to flesh out underutilized characters and explore areas of the lore that are undercooked.

10:00 There's actually an isekai for each of the ideas you've thrown out here, all with varying degree of success

I can't believe I disliked this video. (I changed that!) I kid you not when I was doing a story rp where it was more of a free handwriting with friends I created an overpowered villainess because you know the villain is supposed to be hard to defeat. (FYI she is more developed now and maybe I remember things wrong take my word with a grain of salt.) The person who made the gc was so irritated he sent this video and I sat there thinking, "Yeah that's the point of a villain........". It's hilarious looking back. Keep up the good work my guy these videos help me look out for what I need improving on!

It's incredible how much I've learned from watching these videos.

I hate how this is more relevant now than it was years ago.

13:36 during the russian civil war there were anarchist that worked until the reds took them down, same in the Spanish civil war in catalonia if I'm not mistaken

Listening to this, I felt confident in the Isekai I'm writing XD Well basically, I followed some of the cliche since yeah, its nicer that way And yeah, I dig deeper to world's history, the setting, making proper development, I don't even know if I can create a harem from the novel I made since I didnt make the concept "PROTAG IS COOL! REASON: AUTHOR SAYS SO" thing.

Do it.

I was going to comment about my take on _A Christmas Carol_ parodies, but my idea isn't that translatable to English. Anyways: I like how everyone usually makes the past ghost bored, the present ghost jolly and the future ghost eerie. If I were to take on the trope, I'd make it so the past ghost specifies early on (classic case of past Christmas Ghost not being taken seriously) that she officially is the imperfect past of indicative ghost, and at some point that the past perfect ghost recently got fired, implying that there's a Christmas ghost for every verbal tense.

I actually find it really funny how some just try to copy Silent Hill 2 while forgetting about the story,character depth, symbolism and basically what made silent hill 2 good

I actually have Ground News already SciMan Dan said it was cool

9:35 Good quote

Did you leave the internet?

I'm probably gonna use the Constitutional Monarchy one for my fantasy government If it's a rarity in fantasy, then I'm game

Holy crap you didn’t need to murder Twitter in this video XD

I wonder if his next video is going to be about hiatuses

I'm actually planning to write a sort of sci-fi/post-post-apocalliptic/urban fantasy story, where i might have gotten around the magical world (and magic in general) being hidden. However, for this to be, the world must have been recently come into contact with the fantasy stuff. The idea is that... the goverment wuold hide stuff like faeries, magic and humans with superpowers because that wuold cause wide spread panic. They wold still be allowed to live a free life, but under goverment surveillance. Kind of like the theories of the goverments hiding aliens, UFO's etc but instead with faeries and wizards. I've literally just came up with this.

Your name is so misleading I thought I need to avoid these as you said terrible writing advice

JP's gimmicks: Sarcasm poorly disguised as bullet points Waxing poetic about Themes Love Triangles Wasting time Flashbacks

I have two characters explaine their backstory through inside jokes Have another who is philosophical about her age and seeking retirement, and yes she has a troubled backstory and is fated to be cursed forever, if she doesn't meet an arbitrary deadline Another still who is a bit mums about her background And one more who does do an exposition dump, right after having slept with the MC, as "pillow talk"

You can make the character seem smart by showing or claiming everyone else is dumb.

Don't forget the maps! You have to explain that Lothgorian is to the east of Sylvestria, or else the symbolism of the sun in chapter 57 falls flat.

Alternative title "terrible writing advice" spends 12 minutes showing how he's too lazy to actually read the source material of Warhammer 40k that he's trying so hard to shit on.

The most torturous thing an MC I wrote did was threaten to give Mook a swirly BEFORE he could clean the toilet The toilet was clean, but the Mook doesn't have to know that

The tactics of "gang up on the hero" is a nifty idea, but is very flawed Take for example scene from Frank Miller's Wolverine The popular one where he goes to Japan There was a kabuki theater Logan and Muriko attended to figure out what to do with her situation of an arranged marriage. The thespians were actually assassins in disguise and attacked Muriko, Logan reacted accordingly and took them all out He had answered the question without it being asked The assassins had to be careful with their attacks because they might accidentally hit one of their buddies, whereas Wolverine could hit anyone he wanted A scene from Tombstone A mob was about to raid the jail and Wyett stood outside daring anyone to step forward. True, he only had 12 rounds, but that means he would take at least 12 people down with him if they decided to rush him Batman: Arkham Asylum You're literally Stealthing around like a damned ninja, and kicking ass like Chuck Norris, how are henchman supposed to compete with that? Sure there's been moments where you had to think differently about usual tactics at some point, but he's still a ninja who stomps ass like Chuck Norris Mooks aren't stupid, they have a self preservation feature that that keeps them alive. When confronted with a capable and competent person, they only appear to be stupid, because the Mooks are dealing with a person who is capable and competent and knows what they're doing Yeas, there have been scenes when the hero was cornered and did get the shit kicked out of him Put at his lowest, his most desperate and darkest hour But that only made the retribution all the sweeter

I part way read through a LN where the Alpha is almost everything you describe, except for the werewolf part. Until every thing starts spiraling down hill and the story stagnates on the two characters arguing constantly on who's right to the point they are not talking to each other and jealous of each others imaginary ideas of cheating. It's seems like the writer just hit a wall they couldn't get past so the story suffers because there is no reconciliation between the two characters. It got monotonous and boringly mind numbing so I dropped it.

You can pretty much play a Tournament by having the Players pit their characters against each others. You only need a players handbook and character sheets.
