The trick to a deep world isn’t volume, it’s illusion. You don’t have to map every city or write 5,000 years of history — just drop hints that those things exist. Let readers imagine the rest. What’s one thing in your world you only hint at but never fully explain? 👀
Power’s only interesting when it has limits. What’s the line your world’s power system can’t cross — or the cost of trying to push past it? Example: “Magic only works at night,” or “The stronger the spell, the more it drains your memories.”
Even the strongest heroes have something they fear — loss, failure, love, the truth. What’s your character’s biggest fear, and how does it shape the way they act? Bonus: Do they ever confront it? ⚔️
Imagine you could step into your world for one day. Where would you go first — and what would you want to see? Describe the sights, sounds, or people you’d meet 👀
Every culture has myths — stories passed down to explain how things came to be. What’s one legend, prophecy, or bedtime story that people in your world still whisper about? Bonus: Is it true… or just something people want to believe? 👀
