Character Driven V.S. Plot Driven

*insert an interesting-insightful-well-written paragraph here because I have no idea how to start this post and because I am a blogging failure* ******* So after that amazing introduction, you must be dying to know what is the difference between a character is driven and plot-driven story, right? (ahaha) A character-driven story is a story driven […]

Male Authors V.S Female Authors, and Why They Shouldn’t be Differentiated

I’ve seen a lot on this topic, with people constantly comparing male and female authors. While some would say that while males are not as good as writing character developments as females, others would say it’s the opposite around. I think that’s just nonsense. There are so many examples out there with male authors that […]

Grimdark Fantasy V.S Noblebright Fantasy

Grimdark and noblebright are the perfect sub-genres for readers who either want a less ‘bright’ book, but not quite Stephen King horrifying and dark. Or a fun book that is not quite Harry Potter light. Ladies and gentlemen, I present Grimdark fantasy and noblebright fantasy. “Grimdark is a subgenre or a way to describe the […]

TV Shows V.S Books V.S Movies

I know that usually, books are compared to movies. Whenever you think about book adaptations, movies are usually the first choice. That’s not just because all the major, successful adaptions are movies, but because big screen is a bigger deal than small screen, it’s generally the first choice. But if movies are the bigger, better […]

Villains V.S Heroes

What makes a hero? More importantly, what makes a villain? If the question is so easy to answer, then we would’ve never gotten those amazing villain-hero characters. This question also relates to how villains are created, and what makes a good villain. Since how a villain is created is vital to the creation of a […]

Young Adult V.S New Adult

Young adult and New Adult are very similar genres that the borderline is always seemed blurred out. I myself had countless experiences where I had mistaken a YA to NA, or the other way around. To me, they’re all the same. They both have alternating perspectives. All genre occasionally have books that are with multi-perspectives, […]

The First Guy V.S The Second Guy in Books

It is literally impossible today to try and read a YA book and not bump into even a small love triangle. However, I am not complaining. I personally don’t really understand why people don’t like triangle relationships – I mean, they really do make the story a whole lot more interesting. The triangle love books […]

Dystopia V.S Science Fiction

I was doing my re-read of Angelfall by Susan Ee (for about the fiftieth time that week), and this idea suddenly just popped into my head. What is the difference between Dystopia and Science Fiction? It’s not the hardest topic, and the answer isn’t rocket science. But first off, here is the dictionary definition for […]

High Fantasy V.S Low Fantasy

THE ULTIMATE QUESTION! High Fantasy or Low Fantasy? *Dramatic music playing in the background*. I’m going to be honest here: As a fantasy lover, I really read way more low fantasy books than high fantasy books. There are two reasons for that: Firstly, I love when the protagonist discovers who they are in low fantasies […]

Happily Ever After V.S Bittersweet Endings

This is a common discussion topic among writers, and readers as well. Readers discuss this to express their ideas on their ‘idea endings’, and writers talk about this to decide the perfect endings for their fantastic stories and adventures. Ultimately, we’re all discussing this one thing: What makes a good ending? Anyone who goes for […]
