Hello everyone!
Hope you all are enjoying this fic and all the other fics you've possibly read that I wrote.
See, I wanted to ask you guys something.
For those who don't know (Though I believe it to be obvious) I like writing.
Like, I really like writing stories. I've written about 10 fanfics already and they're still ongoing, though most on hiatus.
But, there is a problem I've noticed in basically all of them that I've had besides this one and my Lucifer fanfic (which is why they are my favorites, basically Lucifer my favorite oldest child and this one the spoiled youngest.)
I always (besides those two) write myself into a metaphorical wall.
The Ultimatrix ones? I am forced to basically make the MC either:
A) An in the moment person I.e. very far from who I am.
Or
B) Unable to access 99.9% of their abilities because I can write them ruling the universe in like 10 chapters.
Believe me, I really could and I can make it logical too.
My Indra Zenin fic is a B situation, my Hulk fic is an A situation, Vegito is also a B situation, Sukuna as well, Broly as well, my TVD fanfics as well, my Sam Winchester fic as well, and well, it gets a bit annoying.
My most recent block is my Goku Black fic, which is a special case as its a mix of A and B, as its supposed to focus on slice of life, but it has gotten a bit boring in my eyes.
So, onto my point.
What do you guys like the most in a story? Is it the action? The slice of life? A mix, if so how much is too much of either?
If the entire Goku Black fic for example was just the characters having fun, with a lot of comedy and a healthy amount of serious moments mixed in, but not with too much action, would you guys like that?
Since, personally, I like writing slice of life almost more than any other category (something you guys probably have noticed).
I don't know, writing a guy (Thragg here for example) capable of breaking a planet with his bare hands, gently running his fingers through his daughter's hair is something I find fascinating.
Do you guys like that to or is that just me?
I ask this because I've been thinking of a story in my head, something of an old one, but completely revamped besides the MC's powers and weaknesses.
For those who were here a couple years ago, I wrote a MC reborn in the Boys as Homelander's brother.
His powers were that of an angel from Supernatural, but he had no true vessel, so using it was basically burning his body up, and making him almost always lose his body if he used it too much.
This is in my eyes, a perfect equilibrium of OP and logically why there can still be a story without going the comedic route or the in the moment MC route - like Goku for example.
I've been thinking of recycling that idea to a person reborn as Lex Luthors son, with archangel from Supernatural's powers, that weakness, and a lot of slice of life, of being a rich villains son and actually delving into the being rich and villain side of things.
Like most rich people - Bruce Wayne for example, though its a cover, he still has the stereotype of having dozens of "girlfriends" for a reason.
As well as the more villain side of things, enjoying the power while still holding a semblance of morality.
Would you guys want to read such a fic? Since I kinda almost have the first chapter ready.
So yeah, do please answer my questions and give your thoughts If you have the time.
I hope to see you all next chapter,
Bye!
