3:48 "Biological Sex" ? World Anvil isn't very woke, is it? Why can't people just be people?

This will help a ton! keep it up!!

14:25 Something that fails at this is Star Trek. Any generation. Their dress-uniforms never look any less practical than their work-uniforms.

Great, useful summary, thank you!

Kishotenketsu is very interesting. At its core, it's not super different from Western story structure. You still have a character whom you develop at the beginning by showing their weaknesses, fears, insecurities, and underlying wants. Something then rocks that character out of their regular life. Then, at the height of the character's unknowingly false confidence, they are sent to their lowest lowpoint and worse off than ever before. But then they return heroically to truly change their old life to a new one for good. What's different about Kishotenketsu is that it seems to put stronger emphasis on early and mid story character development. Furthermore, the inciting incident (I call it "agent of change") and the midpoint are not as clearly flagged. They're much softer. In Kishotenketsu, the inciting incident is more likely to be a circumstance of the world the hero lives in rather than a physical person, body, or object acting upon them specifically. The midpoint in Kishotenketsu is less so a deceptive climax and more like a crucial moment when the hero is most entrenched into their crazy new circumstances (and then the twist happens that leads to the big fallout). Overall, it's more focused on character and development than on plotting and karma.

There is no subtlety whatsoever when you try to juxtapose Abby and Ellie in such obvious ways, such as to ruin any element of surprise. Every thing about Abby’s story has a convenient counterpart to Ellie’s. (Just one dumb example showing lack of nuance, both Joel and Jerry collect coins - FF tags and quarters, respectively) Otherwise, I quite liked it. I would rather have Ellie/Joel and Abby have completely different personalities and unique character motivations / beliefs. Feels like at the first story meeting Neil just said “juxtapose”, and left the room.

Vin Diesel: *family intensifies*

I stopped watching after you exposed how foolish you are. Anyone can write a story. Silly girl.

Gina gotta be my favorite cuz Gina knows best

At some point in his life Joseph Campbell swallowed a Thesaurus and then spent the rest of his life throwing it up. It would be nice if someone would translate Campbell’s book on Carl Jung into normal English. I think that Sigmund Freud’s books are more popular than Jung because Freud’s books are easier for normal people to read. Had Freud hired Campbell his works would have been much less popular. I sometimes think that professor types hide their ignorance behind an obnoxious vocabulary. It’s ironic that Campbell was a friend of John Steinbeck who has one of the most readable styles, simple and to the point.

I can answer all your questions huehue freeby is that hexcrystals are mined in the deserts of Shurima

Informative thank you

I might just be old but yellow fear was not what cause cyberpunk to be that way. It was actually happen. Sony was shitting on IBM and intel. America for the average citizen was a less technology advanced life in comparison to what the Japanese had. It wasn't a fear but a reality that was slowly coming true. If it was not for IBMs war with apple and the development of Microsoft. Japan would have eclipsed Europe and America technology wise. Food and drugs are the worse things to actually be effected in cyberpunk but its not as cool and sexy as big tech bad guys.

Boar skin is definitely bigger than human skin. They're absolutely massive! Colour is also something strongly influenced by not just basic biological/environmental factors (blood, colour of plants) but also but associations and how these things are interpreted and may not be the same in all places. Think white = pure vs. white = death. (For one of my cultures the colours of death are yellow and white; white for the deadly snow of winter, yellow for the falling ("dying") leaves of their staple food tree. Another more closely ties death and life, considering blue to green the colour of both as they commonly bury people in water.) One thing that would work well IMO is casually sprinkling in these associations into the narrative somewhat explicitly (ie: "<Character> was wearing the gold and white of mourning") at first. Over time the readers should probably pick up on it like they do on colour coding of characters.

1) I love your videos! ❤ 2) I'm writing a novel using this outline and I would love to see examples of this applied to actual novels. Because YoutTube is RUclips (duh) all the explamples we get are from TV and movies, but they are of course shorter than novels. Do you happen to know or have read a novel that used this outline so I can check it out? Thank you!

The most emotional scene I think will always be the execution of John Coffey from The Green Mile

You’ve got shatter me all wrong think you didn’t read all the books

Tokenism

You know, I always keep a certain degree of reasonable skepticism when it comes to these kinds of "Writing guides" videos, but I think this one was pretty good, self-aware, and nondogmatic

I can't think of anything worse than a load of 'wannabies' all getting together and stroking their ego's,by talking about their 'projects'

They both better than Harry Potter

I like em all but If I had to choose i would have to say Gina. She’s charmingly diabolical.

This is just a basic four act structure. This isn't revolutionary nor is it specific to East Asia. It's just basic storytelling.

Cyberpunk 2077 feels and looks like gta with a cyberpunk skin. They have so many opportunities, and they miss all of them. Plus, the story is nonsense, and the written is borderland cringe

What about the clear use of wisdom teeth to give the person wisdom.

We will use subs 100 years from now because subways, trains, buses and trains are hundreds of times more efficient transport modes than stupid ass cars, clogging the highways and causing way too much noise and pollution. There. Fucking car people.

Despite growing up with anime and manga, which I find immensely entertaining, I've always struggled with their seemingly loose/awkward narrative structure (and their characterization. Westerns are depicted so weirdly in animes). It can feel unfamiliar compared to the more structured storytelling we see in the 'Greek theater' model. However, I recognize this is just my own perception of their inferiority, and anime and manga are not inherently inferior. They simply offer a different approach to storytelling.

My family relationships are amazing but watching those who didn't have those things find people that can fill those gaps

I went looking for the pdf on your patreon but it said it was deleted? I just wanted a printable version I can have without watching the video over and over.

Mrs incredible 🤤😋

Grateful for the concrete examples. And the first one I have seen where she analyzed the wants and needs of a series, which I still cannot identify by myself. Great video.

i can't come to patreon but i can watch a 45 minutes video even 4.5 hours!

Hook refusal of the return

This was super helpful

Not even watched the video but seeing Joffrey Baratheon in the thumbnail of a video on moral ambiguity got me PISSED off

since the story circle looks just like the gag in community where they design the school flag too look like that as a covert anus, im thus calling this structure The Plot Hole (ironically ofc this seems p airtight)

As a newbie who just recently entered the world of writing artistry, there are many methods known to many writers out there, but I really like featuring the snowflake method (it will later then expand into many branches) and the three-act-structure (similar to Kishotenketsu) to plot my novel, although before beginning the snowflake part, I recommend you guys to check out Glenn Gers's 6 essential question for story writing which guides you from scratch if you do not have any idea what you're gonna write

1:15 So in Other Words. What is in the Name of a “Rose”? What did we use to call a Rose before? It’s the same as Asking What was a “Cat” called by before we designated that name?

I think i am falling in love with cloud kitten

Even Tolkien struggled with building a world, not to mention how long he took to make a map that worked. You don't have to build a world to make a good story, but you have to adhere to the world you allude to in a story, so your original story doesn't fall apart. If you plan several stories from this world or are making a game or several books, you should of course build a good foundation. What you can do, which perhaps is a bit easier, is to reveal bit by bit of the world as needed, and only have the structure or shadow of the world planned out. That way you have time and space to adjust a bit.

This helped solidify this plot structure for me. So many notes and it's helping me wrap my head around my plot issues with my own story. Also, brings sense to the reason Attack On Titan was confusing to me.

This was so helpful for someone who is just beginning to take writing seriously

That’s so life-saving, thank you so much ❤

I really appreciated your analysis on this unique 4 act story structure. I have just started my own deep dive into BL Manga, specifically re: 'Our Dining Table'. I have become obsessed with breaking down the "live action" story telling techniques used in the series. Do you have any suggestions to where I could find shooting scripts for live action adaptations of BL Manga?

I disagree with it being worthless. That said I do think it isn't the be all and end all

Thanks but I'll keep worldbuilding til the end of time 😘 fun video! Helpful ❤
