Some writers are so afraid of slowing the story down that they accidentally skip the moments readers were waiting for.
Sometimes the conversation after the fight matters more than the fight.

A lot of stories confuse “morally grey” with “just rude.”
A morally grey character still needs depth, conflict, and reasoning behind their choices.
Being sarcastic to everybody is not a personality trait.
I love when a book gives me a scene so good I immediately reread it before continuing.
Especially emotionally tense conversations where both characters are technically talking about one thing while secretly talking about another

I'm just constantly amused and baffled by HOW MUCH PEOPLE underestimate Baelor Targaryen martially, and just consider him as a nice polite man (somewhat like Viserys) or somewhat not that exceptional since he died at the hands of Maekar.
The man was a LEGEND. He's the only person known to defeat Daemon blackfyre who was knighted at the age of 12, is known to fight like the warrior, and nobody else could defeat him.
Baelor dying was literally a chance thing, the fact that dude didn't even have his proper armour... Because one on one he's not gonna lose to any of them.

What is the hardest thing for you to write?
Dialogue?
Transitions?
Fight scenes?
Romance?
Ending chapters?
Mine to analyze is probably emotional transitions between scenes because when they are awkward, you feel it instantly.
Still thinking about how House of the Dragon characters can love someone deeply and still completely ruin their life at the same time. That family genuinely does not know peace.
Fast pacing is great until characters stop feeling human.
If a story gives me no breathing room between emotional moments, eventually nothing hits anymore.
You need quiet scenes too. Not every chapter has to scream.
What fictional character would absolutely destroy you emotionally if they died, even if you act tough about it? Mine would probably be Peter Parker.

One thing I love about fantasy stories is when the world feels lived in before the plot even starts.
Not just lore dumps, but small details that make the setting feel real.
Game of Thrones did this really well early on. You could feel history sitting behind every conversation.
the emotional rollercoaster of writing is actually insane
