Sadly, I disagree. They're not wasting their time. I've read about enough people (in our forums) who fell for it and paid hundreds of bucks for AI-created art/comics. They wouldn't bother if they weren't having at least a moderate amount of success. That's the frightening thing. There are...

You should ask your readers that, not like authors can give you feedback on that if they didn't read your stories, which I assume they didn't. In fact, always prioritize what you want, then what your readers want, and then ask unrelated people.

You win the internet for today. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *Edit It's not even funny anymore. These damn cockroaches can't be stomped to death. Seriously, Tony should appoint more mods to finally do something against them. This wave is like never-ending and growing every day. They constantly...

German page? That's new.... Or did they trick the system somehow?

We need an IP ban. The same person is doing the same thing on slightly different accounts again and again. Does anyone want to play hero, find out the person's PayPal, and then flag it down for spam/scam so the scammer loses access? Seriously, SH is slowly rotting and dying. Half of all...

I'd advise going to Royal Road for that. They don't belong here. Not meaning to be discouraging, but it's simply the truth. They should officially ban it. Nobody likes doing this crap.

Never seen that, it looks so stupid. Just do it like your first example, it's 100% correct and the established norm.

The Fanfic bonus has been lost entirely on SH. The site has lost a massive amount of readers. Fanfics don't have any more visibility than normal stories. Frankly, I'm also playing with the thought of "moving." I will still post here, since it only takes me like 2 minutes a day, but I won't...

Enough for what? What are your goals? Just release however many chapters you feel comfortable. If you want to turn this into a business, I think your entire approach needs adjustment. I'd say you are doing fine, though. First story, some readers, certainly not the worst start I've seen...

Yeah, I knew the website was real, but as far as the invitation goes, I couldn't get in contact with the person who messaged me, so I don't believe they were actually involved with the site. They are pretty desperate to recruit random people. Not to talk down Worthy, but I really have to...

How is that a request towards artists? Wrong section. Good luck with your fanfiction, though. I'll check it out when it's done.

No link, wrong category.

I constantly have SH open. Sometimes 10 tabs. It's obviously not the site's fault... please fix your potato pc instead. This is a huge waste of time.

You are throwing away all your potential if you dump the chapters like that. You have 20 chapters released, yet 0 readers... because after the second chapter, any further uploads will give you zero visibility. I'd recommend uploading 2 chapters a day with at least a few hours in between them...

Of course, I agree, but it's clearly the minority. Obviously, among thousands of stories, you'll always find that one that doesn't fit. In this case, I believe, the majority is more inspired by Western genres. Also, Dragon Ball features A LOT of Sci-Fi elements, which are also inspired by...

I believe Japanese stories are more inspired by classical Western stories, like Tolkien, because they almost always feature dwarfs, elves, orcs, dragons, swords, shields, and magic. They rely less on Japanese history and mythology than they rely on the classical Western Fantasy genre. Of...

Not Google... from the AI function (Gemini) ;) Please be a little clearer about that. Anyway: There is no rule barring you from writing a complete JP-style story, but you'll notice one thing. Your story will fail, and you won't get many readers. There is a good reason why Light Novels have...

Some people are not happy with their lives and need some outlets for their frustrations... not meant as an insult, but speaking genuinely, this seems like the only logical explanation to me.

I've got a strong feeling that this will be an absolute loser (speaking only in terms of gaining readers). If your goal is to write whatever you feel like, go for it. If you want to have a lot of readers, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop. Also, why do you write a story in your fourth...

I'd call this okay but very stupid and inefficient. Just use Grammarly first, it will save you hours. That way you knock out the spelling errors. If you use Grammarly the word sheepishly shouldn't have appeared in the FPT edit. You can still ask GPT to analyze your choice of words and give...
