One idea that I propose to all aspiring writers is to KEEP IT SUPER SIMPLE. Most people will watch a video like this and get bogged down under all the details and feel the need to micromanage them. When you keep your world building simple, it makes your overall story easier to understand, and everything else falls into place.

[@MonitorComics]

Great advice! Thank you for taking the time to share your insight!

[@socithecreator2942]

Yeah I agree. I personally don’t like reading or watching stuff that have super confusing worlds. If you are making a world in a story, explain things about the world little by little and keep it concise and simple to understand

One Piece and Made in Abyss are the most immersive worlds I've seen in fictional works yet. Both worlds want you to explore them and unscramble all the mysteries. They are not disposable locations where the characters do their thing, they are actually relevant to the story. You can't put the characters of these works into another world and expect to equally unfold themselves (well, maybe you could do that with Riko, because she loves to explore everything, but it wouldn't be the same without the Abyss). It's only possible in these respective worlds. And not only does it matter what the todays characters do... it's equally important and is a major motivation for our beloved characters, what the past characters did and why they did it. I love these works.

Mushoku Tensei is a top tier when it comes to worldbuilding. from episode 1 the entire world just feels so real and interesting, and the creator of the manga even developed 2 different languages to fit in his story.

[@MonitorComics]

FOR REAL. MUSHOKU TENSEI IS S TIER

[@blackharmonics4518]

@@MonitorComics It's S tier when it comes to story and characters, but in worldbuilding I think, it's more on the generic side of isekai anime/manga. You could easily put the characters in another similar world and they would do the same. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful world but not as good as OP or Made in Abyss in my opinion.

[@MonitorComics]

@@blackharmonics4518 Compared to the majority of "starter town medieval town" isekai stories, Mushoku Tensei has a MUCH MORE fleshed out world I would personally say its FAR from generic. Most isekai series barely leave the starter town and if they do they just go to a generic forest, king's palace, etc I do agree that series like Made In Abyss have great worldbuilding. But at the end of the day, Made in Abyss is a fantasy series, so we should hope it has a cool world When it comes to Isekai the expectations are EXCEEDINGLY LOW because of all of the generic titles to come out in recent years. It definitely helps that Mushoku Tensei was one of the earlier light novels that took off around the time as The Familiar of Zero, WAY before the SAO isekai boom

[@blackharmonics4518]

@@MonitorComics Yes, I absolutely agree. Compared to other isekai titles out there, Mushoku Tensei is waaaaay above the others. Maybe it's not fair to compare it to straight fantasy titles like MiA. I really love MT, because of the characters and the storytelling, pace, etc. And it is really nice to see an isekai character actually travel around instead of just make a base in the spawn town. MT is one of the few anime I really appreciated the last few years (MiA is still my absolute no. 1 title)

[@MonitorComics]

@@blackharmonics4518 For sure! I don't know if you watched my recent video about Isekai anime, but its really interesting to think about how old MT is A lot of modern isekai authors credit MT for inspiring a lot of the character archetypes, story tropes, etc in modern Isekai anime It's really surprising how many of those series dont try to replicate the GOOD aspects though like trying to build a unique world, or making an interesting plotline or engaging characters I have no clue why so many isekai series copy each other creating the same generic "story" over and over again

The worldbuilding for Houseki no Kuni is absolutely one of my favourites From Gems formed to fight Lunarians to protect themselves and eachother with it's history of the possible extinction of Humans and how the Admirabilis were there to witness the evolution of it all. And how the story would end up back at the very beginning of one creating a human once again. It all connects into something and even for a small type of worldbuilding it has so much meaning and depth to it and I hope one day I'll be able to create such a great world like this.

[@dudemgee]

For the story that I was writing, I had a story I was really happy with (still wip) but I realised I didn't have an amazing world, I took the setting of traditional Asia but that was it. I knew I wanted a fantasy world but I didn't know what to do. So for me (and for you), here's some advice or guides: - if you are lost on what to do, try exploring a perspective or theme, and then personifying it into a location. - you generally already have a setting in mind, but if you don't, just work on the story until it comes to you - Take the rules, systems, and laws of your world and make systems to fit them (example from attack on titan: big titans, how do we kill them, their napes, how do we get there, verticality, how do we do that, spiderman gear(because flying looks goofy and isn't technologically possible) boom, military equipment that is a staple for how characters traverse the world and survive in it) (I only just realised that he talks about aot in the video now I don't feel unique) - Taking inspiration is a good thing don't be scared of it. - History is your friend, there is so much more than medieval Europe, decide your tone and think of what personality it has and what setting would be best to sample - culture and politics are great for deciding alliances and enemies that's all I have, feel free to add more or thank me cause I'm an incredible person

Nope. One piece world is just bigger, not better. People mistake those two things. Like people in the comments really compare One Piece to LOTR lol. In my opinion, even Naruto is as well as one piece : There is lore, myths (Rikudo), past events and war that are important for the present of the story (like the ninja wars), war heroes and mythical characters as well, geopolitique (kage cousil), a power system based on chakra, dead civilisation as well (like the Uzumaki clan) etc...

Something to add which was something I've learned along the way in terms of worldbuilding in regards to your own story: 'build the character within the world, don't build the world around a character'. It sounds like common sense but this is partly how to avoid creating mary sue characters while creating a more believable setting as well making your characters 'fit' into the world. And if I'm being honest, world anvil discord taught me a lot about the subtleties of worldbuilding and how to keep the information open to new possibilities instead of making something so specific. Like with One Piece, Oda most certainly did not create the entire thing from the very start. He built up on it over time as he went through the story to a point he has such an extensive worldbuilding that works within the context of the story. The lesson to get out from that is not to go overboard with worldbuilding especially when you're trying to write a story because the rest of the tips on this video goes naturally as you progressed through it. But yes, maps. Make a map. As someone who does too much worldbuilding and not enough writing, maps are your bestfriend with worldbuilding. Even just blobs of where things go is enough to start off with.

Another amazing example of world building is star wars. There's a reason so many people love it

[@justdhurba]

One Piece excels in worldbuilding because of its vast and interconnected world, filled with unique islands, cultures, and societies that feel alive and purposeful. Oda integrates geography, history (like the Void Century), and politics seamlessly into the story. The Grand Line's structure naturally pushes exploration, while its lore-like the Poneglyphs and mysteries of the Pirate King-adds depth. Additionally, every arc contributes to the world's complexity without overwhelming the reader.

[@eletrica_]

I want to achieve a worldbuilding as good as One Piece and Tower of God (my favorites). I love the concept of the main story of TOG being set in a GIANT tower, divided into three parts with unique floors and rulers for each one, that keeps the order. Each floor also has a density of Shinsu (TOG's "mana" and substitute of water and oxygen in the tower) that gets stronger as you climb the tower. There's a lot more about the TOG world too, but it's a lot to explain here. But my favorite is still One Piece, I love how bizarre and creative some islands are. Screw normal places, let's make an island made of Cake. Also, the concept of the OP world being divided by the red line, grand line and calm belt is really interesting and gives opportunity for crazy but pausible theories. My only fear is that I make a world so big that my story ends up taking years to finish (which is the case of TOG and OP) lmao. Great video!! :]

One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto and Attack on Titan really have the best world building in manga history

[@justaguywithastrawhat9293]

I can agree with one piece but I can't agree with Naruto because it's world is so small, They go from one village to another and that's it. And they reach their destination in just a few days. Naruto is mostly about the animation and story telling. The same for dragon ball, the original dragon ball had good world building but the Z and super have no good world building, they make traveling to planets look so easy, they reach one planet to another in a matter of seconds, it is about fighting and story telling only. I just don't agree with Naruto and db in terms of world building, other than that I enjoyed both of the shows .And I haven't watched aot so I can't say anything about it.

[@moro-og-739]

@@justaguywithastrawhat9293 sorry but you’re wrong about Z and Super. Z showed so many new locations like Snake Way, King Kai’s planet, Planet Zoom, World of the Kais, new locations of Earth, Babidi’s ship, new dimensions like the hyperbolic timechamber, Namek, Planet Vegeta, Other World, Hell and that’s excluding Super, which becomes even bigger. Attack on Titan has nothing on Dragon Ball’s worldbuilding, because (eventhough everything is explored) there are only 3 or 4 locations shown, while there’s so much symbolism, religion, locations and so many types of aliens and humans on earth that it in my opinion really comes close to One Piece. I haven’t finished One Piece YET, but I’ll see it for myself

@@MonitorComics You're welcome. I'm not the most alert reader and have been trying to understand worldbuilding in stories. It's something I find hard to see in many shows and wonder if it's my fault for not being able to see it. I've asked for suggestions before but getting told to go and read the entire State Wars and LOTR collection isn't really the most pleasant experience. These and One Piece are also franchises where the worldbuilding is very pronounced in my opinion. It made me wonder if worldbuilding exists in every/the majority of the non-fantastical shows. Thank you for the Slice of Life example tho, my favorite SoL, March Comes In Like a Lion has the main character constantly switching from one fictionalized irl Japanese location to another which are labeled as month towns (March city, June town).

[@MonitorComics]

@@Eterrath All good! I'm glad my video could be helpful! And I love March Comes In Like A Lion lol. Worldbuilding does exist in every story. Some stories like those in the adventure or fantasy genre tend to capitalize on it the most. With slice of lives for example you could worldbuild by having several locations like you said (school, home, friends home, town over, beach, amusement park, local cafe, etc)!

in my project it is not a map I need to do, it is a entire system so multiples planets, moons, stations, possibly multiples suns, asteroids belt and things on them like cities, outposts, factories, villages, if I can make thing look logicals it could be a amazing world building but if I fail it is going to be horrible

The best worldbuilding that I have seen so far is one piece, jojo's bizarre adventure, naruto & avatar the last airbender

[@badreddinebelabed9156]

If Naruto is a top for You, it means You haven't seen a lot of mangas/animes 😂

[@MartialArtsTechniquesideas]

@@badreddinebelabed9156 what’s wrong with Naruto ? You probably one of those who think One piece world is as good as Tolkien world lol. Naruto did a very great job with his world building, just like One piece.

[@MartialArtsTechniquesideas]

@@badreddinebelabed9156 if you have a problem Ith Naruto world building more than Jojo were there is not a huge world building, then it’s you who must have read only few mangas.

[@halloeverybodhi613]

Naruto had good world building until halfway through the war arc when almost everything was disregarded

[@oddiunapologetic]

Naruto worldbuilding is okay, the author should have just waited until boruto to introduce the aliens. Aliens fit in more with Boruto aesthetic of scientific ninja tools and radical cults.

Hey. @Monitor Comics, I'm planning on writing a manga that involves a lot of death of characters. Do you think you could explain how to make emotions in writing feel more natural? The manga has the main character face the death of his younger brother. I've tried writing out storyboards of how I want the death scene to go. But it feels so artificial when I try to write it, do you have any tips or advice for writing scenes like this in stories?
