By the way if anyone ask me to make a skibidi toilet story about the brown cameraman than the answer is absolutely not because I don't know what's the deal with people living that simp of a Cameraman

Also do you have any general tips when it comes to writing stories with a monster mc, out of impulse I started two stories and would like some tips before I get to far into it

@Some_Guy_With_Time First off, when you’re writing about a monster as your main character, don’t just think of it as "a monster." Think of it as a character who happens to be a monster. Give them a personality. Are they aggressive, protective, curious, or just misunderstood? Even if they don’t talk, you can show their personality through what they do and how they react to things.
            
            Next, figure out what they want. This is super important—what drives them? Maybe they’re just trying to survive, or maybe they want revenge for something humans did to their kind. Or they could be protecting their home or loved ones. Whatever it is, make it clear so your readers know why they’re doing what they’re doing.
            
            Also, remember to give them some weaknesses or struggles. Nobody likes a character who’s just invincible and perfect all the time. Maybe your monster has a physical vulnerability, like cold slows them down, or an emotional one, like they feel guilty about their destructive nature. This makes them relatable, even if they’re giant or scary.
            
            Speaking of relatability, find ways for readers to connect with them. Even if they’re not human, they can still have emotions people understand—like loneliness, anger, or even love. Show those moments to help readers care about your monster.
            
            Finally, think about how the world reacts to your monster. Do humans fear them? Worship them? Try to kill them? This creates conflict and helps you build the story around your monster’s interactions with the world.
            
            At the end of the day, it’s all about making them feel like a real character, not just some big scary thing. Focus on who they are, what they want, and how they struggle, and the story will practically write itself.
