What made me write my novel or story?
I made my novel because of boredom, since I don't have much to do in this pandemic so I write a novel to lift my boredom. And this is my first novel. I also put this one at Webnovel and then here.
ohh i was talking about abusive ships made to look romantic or cute, im well aware of danger in our world, but we don't need to romanticize if for young readers (mostly ya so around 13 to 18)
Especially since the main character are not good people
No one else was writing the stories I wanted to read, so I wrote them so I could read stories I wanted to read.
You know I feel the same way about most of my work, so let me offer you a digital high five in solidarity. "High five"
I wrote mine because I got really sick of Chinese manhuas were the female lead was a secret assassin or doctor or both in her previous life and got transmigrated/reborn into a fantasy world or the past where she then proceeded to kick ass and get revenge on everyone and their dog for the body's previous owner... 
Hm...I guess my inspiration came from this pandemic? (Sorry for the upcoming short rant below!)
I don't mean to sound edgy or anything but this pandemic has made me have a more pessimistic view towards the world. It feels like nothing has gotten better and alongside that? More and more hate/evil has been exposed (Whether it's police violence against POC, Climate Change etc.) I wanted to write a book that allowed me to appropriately put my pessimism into a character rather than just letting it fester on the inside like a disease.
Hence the reason I recently got into writing darker fantasy! Although It's still about reincarnation and such, I did want to practice/explore having my characters have a more 'darker' air about them. (From what I've seen) Instead of characters getting used to the world they now live in after death, I wanted to explore something where the character isn't used to their environment. They hate it and long for nothing more than to return back to the life that (in my MC's opinion) was stolen from them.
Come hell or high water, whether they must kill one or thousands. Living in a fantasy world where everything is at their fingertips? It doesn't appeal to them in the slightest, they only use their power in order to further push them towards getting home even when the threat of never being able to return or death while trying looms over their head.
If y'all are interested in what you see, feel free to check out my novel! It's now on Chapter 2!

Title: The Swallow of Storms
Genre(s): Fantasy, Action, Drama
Synopsis: To this boy whose heart is as unmoving as the forlorn and weary expression on his face. After a night of unprecedented tragedy that unexpectantly leaves him in service to a deity who doesn't go to his sister for free, as he goes through this new world, vengeance and the hopes of reuniting with his family are the only things that keep him going.
Content Warning: Violence and mentions of cannibalism in future chapters!
Um well actually 7SSC has technically been in development since I was in grade school...
We were assigned to create a fantasy world for English and that was the creation of Elemental, the main world of the series. From there, it just kind of grew? It's been a culmination of exploring myself and my own morals, the characters and the world are a strong reflection of who I was, who I am, and who I might become. So yeah!!!! That's that lol
Tempest was written out of my need to pay homage to the superheroes/comics I grew up reading, watching, and loving as a kid. I wanted to make my own superhero, but being that there are so many different ones out there, it's hard to come up with something 100% original. So, instead, I used what I knew and tried to integrate it while still coming up with my own type of plot. Lol.
The Last Goddess, on the other hand, came from my love of mythology. There's so many different types of myths, lore, and epics, that I wanted one of my own. Plus there are many things in mythologies that overlap cultures. So, I wanted to make my own multicultural pantheon! Bonus, both my characters kind of represent a different part of my life/personality. So, while they are drastically different, its fun to write in both personas, so to speak. 
Centris is formed by some of my personal experiences but seen through a fantasy filter. But every writer does that, so it's not news. I've been developing the story and world for years, so many elements have shifted or represented my mental state at the moment of their creation or modifications.
Currently, I think it was the best possible moment to write it for me. I started a new chapter in my life, so maybe writing the novel right now will allow me to grow it alongside my knowledge of this new phase for me. Plus an important thematic element of Centris focuses on the struggle between the authority and the people who lacks it. And consider how crappy my country situation is, I'm in the right mind set to write something about opposing shitty governments.
Inspiration came from wanting to see Religion flourish in the world again, specifically Islam. My story is heavily focused on Islamic teachings and elements and explores a heartbreaking story of a Prince who struggles with saving his kingdom from the brink of a deadly civil war. His own identity as a practicing Muslim is put to the ultimate test as he faces harrowing and death defying tragedies, one after another.
The King of Roo
My main inspiration came from pure rage of seeing people of authority (cough, politicians, cough) not doing their friggin jobs and taking money baths when small people scrape the streets for basic needs. I'm so done with that sht.
To cut it nice and short(especially since I am half awake right now). I watched Ergo Proxy. That's literally it. Watched an anime from the early 2000s that inspired the creation of my man cast of characters and from there it just evolved into the story I am currently writing.
My story(web novel):
Inspired by works such as Ghost in the Shell, Ergo Proxy, Serial Experiments Lain, and Akira, Technocyte: Beyond Human follows Detectives Beatrice Alice Moreau and Jay Lee Jones, an amnesiac man named Sherlock Lawson, and a mysterious young girl named Mina in a cyberpunk/ dystopian like setting as they uncover the truth behind Sherlock's elusive past and his connection to the Technocytes, enhanced humans who are able to morph metal around their bodies and manipulate technology, and the organization responsible for creating them known as SANCTUARY.
My story was inspired from a lack of creativity; I had just had carpal and ulnar tunnel surgery on my dominant hand, so I wasn't able to draw at all for a week after the surgery. Leading up to it as well, I couldn't draw as much as I wanted because it was just too painful, and I needed to save what strength/ability to draw I had in my wrist to do my art college assignments. After a week from my surgery, I couldn't take it anymore and felt inspired since I was watching a bunch of OC animatics on YouTube. I started creating the characters one by one (all the main characters were designed at 4 am) and piecing them together to make a coherent story. After fleshing all of the characters out, I realized that I was using the story and the characters as coping mechanisms for everything I didn't like about myself and what I was dealing with. Starting Hiraeth was like opening a new chapter for me; my art style changed, my music taste changed, my relationships changed, and overall, I've changed, and it's all been so good for me.
My little fantasy story was inspired by another. The Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. The story's structure and multi-character POV, for instance. As well as a few other stories, like Trudi Canavan's The Black Magician trilogy, Berserk and Claymore mangas and a few other small influences from certain video-games.
But what made me write my story was this need to escape somewhere. I was in a somewhat darker headspace back when I began writing. I did not think much of what I could turn it into, but I felt the need to put the place where I escaped in my mind into writing. As a sort of diary. Back then, IT was not really a story, but something purely for my own sake. Sure, I talked about the idea that I would probably try to find a publisher or something, but it was really half-hearted. I did not think much other than being able to leave a record of where I've been, so-to-say.
The story isn't that dark really, but there are several passages in several character's stories where they are unraveling similar thoughts and mental obstacles as I did. Unfortunately, this dark or sometimes realism bordering undertone may be detrimental to the story, I sometimes think. It's difficult to put the thoughts I had into coherent words, but I will leave this small "poem" here that I made as I began putting my fantasy into writing.
What if I were gifted my dreams?
The ideal built by my mind, desired by my heart.
A world both bitter and sweet,
where I could enjoy every bit of the happiness.
And even the sadness, unknowingly though.
Could I remember the reality?Or would I remember a dream?
I was listening to a song (i forgot which one) and by the end of it I made this whole story that I kinda liked. Idk how.
