@Stardust I see. I don't fully understand your idea but it looks similar to avatar. Where do you plan to post your novel someday? I feel like your also new but a little more experienced than me so I'd like to learn from you. Learning from pros just burns me out and I feel discouraged to continue.

I'll share my idea too to be fair. I wrote chapter 1. It's a story about 2 boys switching bodies similar to the *your name* situation, but mine is a 2 worlds situation one mc in a sci-fi fantasy world other mc in a medieval fantasy world. I haven't fleshed it out too much yet but I just flow along action, misunderstanding and comedy theme. 

I hope to learn from fellow newbies but I also take the pro tips to hart. The show not tell rule. I can relate to your stupid worry btw. Hahahaha

@gabriel remoreras I only know the last Airbender one, Kaelith (the first mc, the father is the 2nd) ohhh if you're talking about the continents' names, yes they name like that but has nothing to do who can use this element and that element, it's more of labeling since the races does relate to the name. I forgot the name Royal something is the website 1 year ago me wanted to write on.

Have confidence in yourself, you'll be a great writer someday unlike me.

That idea is a great one, because I never read any story outside of fairytales, anime, manhwa, and manga I don't have that novelist mindset. Is there conflict between the two worlds? How is the magic system (s), hard or soft? How about world building? Does economy play in it? How is the culture shock on both of the boys because of the world? Just giving some questions, you don't have to answer them.

Yes the show, not tell thing is so true. I do struggle to imagine the lines in my head with that.
