Specific Mangaka interviews are great to watch, as it is the most direct way to see into the world of manga. Here are a collection of individual ones Remember to Read Regarding Writing I have seen a lot more novel writers coming into the club, so I wanted to give them something for them to chew on. You see, from what I know novels and manga utilize very different techniques and require a different approach. Though if I were to apply my technique of learning (watch and learn), we run into another problem of what is peak literature. MAL has it's own list of the top novels, which could be a starting point, but they consist of light novels which have had their own evolution and reoccurring trends which can influence the scope an average writer might encounter. It's like saying all animation is anime and should be treated as such, but that just isn't the case. So I found a website which documents the best books spanning over 2000 years worth of literature, but you find the same issue as before of importance in priorities. If you want to make a good light novel, reading good light novels might be the way to go, but if you want to make a good normal novel, then the website in question would be better. But it could also be difference in time, where novels from the 16th century differ from those of the 20th, the difference in author origin could also play a role in what you aim to create, and what audience you aim to appeal to could also play a role. I'm just saying, what can be considered the best is a matter of perspective and priority. So with that in mind, here is the link to a site that finds the greatest books of all time, which can be sorted via nationality and time frame for optimal material, but you can look at MAL's list as well if LNs are your main priority; https://thegreatestbooks.org/ The Silent Manga Audition https://www.manga-audition.com/ The Economic Side of Things Uploading to the Club Remember, if you are going to upload pictures of your work, make sure to credit that you made it. MAL is stupid in that it doesn't credit the uploader of an image to a club.

@AoiZoldyck

I understand you may not enjoy reading manga as much as Anime mainly because of the black & white aspect. It was & still is like this for me too, but I'm getting more & more used to it.

You always have western comics/graphic novels, Manhwas & webcomics as alternatives though.

@Ringtomb @K-J-Whitten @Zoushu

I want to be really honest & say that the club wall isn't looking the best it could look.
There's is huge blocks of text on there & it will just discourages people from reading it. It also looks disorganised.
I'm sure I've read the whole thing but to be completely honest, it felt a little like a chore.

Please please
A) divide those paragraphs into smaller ones.
B) Add a bold subheading to each section.
C) Use more bullet points.
D) Maybe add something to divide the text even more, like rectangular pictures/ rectangular slow animated gifs. This will make it look more appealing. But I would recommend no bright colours or anything flashy. Rather a neutral colour pallet.

I'm a bit late but... based on enjoyment it's One Piece for me.
