This guide is dedicated to the research of how Writing Competition works. Overview As of now, it's unclear to me what one has to do to get this achievement. Some people say that you have to get to the top of Chinese skilltree to do better at writing exams, while others say that you simply need to get high EQ and Memory. As a person who never got this achievement, I cannot say for sure. If you only need to know how to get that achievement, then you should save scum until you get it right. Simply exit to the menu if you get unsatisfactory result and get back into the game. Another way to get the achievement is to download an old version of the game (you can do that in Steam's game settings), get +10k imagination and make proper choices. I would appreciate greatly if you help me with any tips you know. It is known that main game stats improve the writing competition, but I'm not sure how. First All of the topics give a fixed amount of stats. Some are different when matched with certain themes, while others are always the same. I do not know how these affect final score. The result is what I got from choosing certain topics and themes together. Anything on the left from equal sign ("=") are stats above 500. The idea is that you're supposed to use Inspirations to improve those stats that are the highest. On the right side is a rough combination of all stats at the end of the writing stage without using any inspirations.
