My Skill Shitty Writer

In a world where survival depends on extraordinary abilities, Dick finds himself woefully unprepared. Living an ordinary life on Earth, Dick's world is turned upside down when a meteor strike brings about a terrifying evolution. Animals transform into monstrous beings known as Astras, and humanity gains skills and abilities to defend itself against these sinister creatures. But Dick’s new skill isn’t the combat prowess or superhuman strength he had hoped for. Instead, he’s been gifted the dubious ability of "Shitty Writer." With this skill, Dick’s writing is exceptionally bad—so bad, in fact, that it’s entirely useless in a fight. His words fail to even scratch the surface, especially since the Astras are illiterate and unaffected by his pathetic prose. Frustrated and desperate, Dick embarks on a journey to discover the true purpose of his seemingly worthless skill. As Dick learns more about his skill, he begins to realize that there might be more to "Shitty Writer" than meets the eye. With creativity, determination, and a touch of humor, he must find a way to turn his misfortune into a powerful tool. Can Dick transform his terrible talent into a force for good, or will he forever remain the world's most useless hero? "My Skill Shitty Writer" is a quirky and adventurous tale of an underdog finding his place in a post-apocalyptic world, where even the most seemingly insignificant skills can hold the key to survival...

Advice for WN Authors

Aight bois. This is coming from an author and a reader: most of y'all's writing sucks. Readers shouldn't have to turn their brains off to enjoy your writing... That's just forcing them to be a zombie and mindlessly passing time by, ain't no enjoyment there. So in case you couldn't tell already, this will be very blunt. Thus, here's some things to keep in mind as you read. 1. If you're just going to hear and not listen, skedaddle. Hearing is having it go through one ear and out the other, listening is paying attention and making the effort to understand. 2. Toss your pride away. Yeet it across the ocean. I've seen sooo many authors unable to take constructive criticism and INSIST on improper grammar because they couldn't admit they did something wrong. 3. If you think your writing is good, then it's terrible. Simple. Reason: If you think your writing is good, then you stop looking for ways to improve it and it stagnates. Even the best of the best authors (on wn and traditional books) have room for improvement so don't be like "ah it's good enough" or "there's no where else to improve." 4. Don't listen aggressively. I.e. listening only to find faults in what the person says and use it disprove their claim. One example is waiting for your opponent to make a grammar mistake.  This is different from debate tactics to lead your opponent into logical trap and use their fallacies they accidentally left behind to invalidate everything they said. It's hard to notice, but the main difference is that someone who listens aggressively is no longer open minded or calm. They're usually narrow minded and stubborn to admit they're wrong in those moments and are very easy to manipulate bc they're blinded so ye. Did I leave some traps within the logic presented here? Maybe. Don't be an idiot and you won't have to find out. Side note: apologies if this boi comes off as ranting, bc it is. The average wn quality is on par with mtl childrens books, which is infuriating bc now there's hardly anything good left to read.
