i read your tags and was wondering what you meant by saying jjk is easy to write for? :0 coming from a reader's perspective i don't rly know much about writing so i was wondering what makes a fandom 'hard' to write for. thanks for your time! :DD

i'm supposed to be writing new chapters right now since i postponed a bit for... idk what i was doing tbh, but this question seems to be interesting to answer so here we go. this is all entirely my opinion, by the way. i just find jjk easy to write for

why jjk (and shounen manga) are easy to write for:

jujutsu kaisen’s formula is similar to shounen manga straying into the seinen line. unlike, say, shounen manga like naruto, one piece, jjk is shameless with the dark themes. (shibuya arc, man. you don’t see that in naruto.) jjk is still a shounen manga and is being published under shounen jump. these kinds of seinen-like shounen manga are actually starting to become more popular like jigokuraku and chainsaw man, and those two are both under shounen jump. they’re fr pushing the shounen genre. those two are obviously seinen at least.

but at the end of the day, jjk is a shounen manga and follows a linear plot. the timeline, worldbuilding, and the plot isn’t that complicated to understand as much as the difficulties itadori has to go through is vastly different from most protagonists. it’s not anything demeaning or bad, of course, i’m just going to be honest and say jujutsu kaisen follows the formula of a shounen manga like this new booming manga, tougen anki.

if you’re writing an oc / reader-insert, you need to establish something plausible as to where said oc / reader came from, and in jjk, you can have lots of characters coming from literally anywhere. the school setting makes it easy too since you can easily pass the oc off as a student or as a teacher, or generally, as a sorcerer. there are lots you can enter from.

then we have crossovers: jjk’s laws are well-expanded and explained, and the main characters are in an appropriate age to be pushed into another fandom since they generally have the same age group. and the linear plot line makes it much easier to separate things into arcs and settle a difference for each one.

it’s what makes boku no hero academia and harry potter a go-to for crossovers because their world is very easy to write for: linear, has lots of openings to come from, and etc.

what makes a fandom hard to write for?

the first few fandoms i thought is hard to write for are baccano and lord of the rings. 

lord of the rings, as individual stories, may be quite easy but if someone’s going to go full-on lord of the rings, there are many things to consider. though there are a few places to come from, the problem is: there are too many. there are too many ages to consider, timelines, characters, and ‘if this happened how is this going to get affected’, because there has to be something different with your story that will pique your readers’ interests so you usually don’t want to make things linear and exactly as the plot usually goes.

there are too many things to consider, too many things to take note of, and basically, it’s really hard to keep everything in track.

as for baccano, though it’s a lot less popular, the point of why baccano is hard to right for is because of it’s unique storytelling. there are lots of time jumps and ‘unrelated stories somehow connecting to each other’ is always such a pain in the ass to write for because you have to connect everything in just one way or another.

but it’s what makes things challenging and fun!

for example, i enjoy writing for fandoms i don’t like and writing characters i also don’t like because it makes it really interesting to delve and expand on it. why do i hate this character / this fandom so much? and things like that. hehehe.

i hope this helped. i was mostly rambling and i got told a lot by my other friends that i don’t explain things i like very well because i get too mouthy, but here you go!
