Most readers actually only enjoy reading very specific genres. Give me 100 random stories, and I'd probably be only interested in 10 or fewer. If you force me to read a story I'm not even remotely interested in, I'd be tempted to drop it, too. I might be able to provide feedback on some...

Also unhealthier... that's like deciding to smoke because it's cool. Personally, I prefer coffee as well, in its more unhealthy form like Cappuccinos or Latte Macchiatos. Though not Starbucks-level unhealthy with all that garbage syrup. If you live in the US, you should visit Panera Bread and...

I appreciate my own work by smiling at my terrible jokes. Surprisingly, it's a perfect fit... for myself.

I think you're doing a good deed. There are certainly too many authors who don't receive any feedback, so you're helping them out. You are also up front about being harsh and dropping stories early, so I think it's a fun and fair thread. Ready to read more reviews, this is entertaining.

New style is great, but I prefer the older one... it looks sharper. It's hard to explain, but this looks way less detailed.

I get that when I copy from Google Docs sometimes. I use a few websites that automatically get rid of that for me. Try copying and pasting your original chapter into the Quillbot grammar checker, and it should add spacing. I can't properly explain it, but Google Docs does this sometimes...

Your old chapters from your previous story have huge holes after every paragraph. Your new chapters look perfect, though, that's also how I and 99% of all other authors work.

This thread is useful for people who are desperate for input and have received none so far. However, you generally don't want critical people reviewing your story who, by their own admission, have a low attention span and constantly drop stories even after a few paragraphs. The average reader...

Getting Tempokai vibes from this thread... it's essentially the same thing, literally destroying any story. Just with nicer words and a lot of kindness ;-) If you couldn't make it past chapter 1, reading Eldoria's story, you'll probably quit after just a single paragraph from 90% of all...

This is so hilarious. The random Single mother fanletter and then the absolutely non related Art scam angle out of nowhere. These scammers are so funny.

Same way with NK.

I know them, and I also know the classics like Lucky Star and TMOHS. Anyway, they work for Anime... but I thought we were talking about writing here? Any book needs a draw. It's much different from anime or Light Novels (which have a ton of art). Even so, the examples you listed have a draw...

I think SoL needs to have an interesting theme to draw in the viewers. SoL can never be a true standalone genre IMO.

Posting here to lock in my win... now I just have to bribe Enki to close this thread, and I can claim my prize of infinite internet fame.

Here are mine... I only posted the most popular countries as the list goes on for a while longer. Though personally, the most interesting part is the countries at the VERY bottom. I can't even locate some of these countries, but it's really cool to see that people from all over the world are...

If you love images, do it. Speaking from experience, people are not particularly stoked about AI-generated images/Amateur art, and it doesn't make or break a story. Some people might love it, but if you give someone the choice: More chapters or the occasional piece of art, I'd like to think 99%...

I know necroing old threads is not really good, but it turns out that this is the ONLY HxH post on the SH forums... yes, the only one. It feels kinda weird to open a new thread because I'd like to think my fanfic I'm currently working on might be the exact thing @RavensQuill is looking for. I...

This is not meant to discourage you, but scammers often target new stories and stories that update frequently and don't have many readers/views. They are targeting those people because they hope they are eager and desperate for new readers and probably assume they don't know how the "game"...

I'd focus only on the Blood Rose Princess stories. I think stories in the same universe or spin-offs only make sense if the main work is at least finished, or a large arc of it has been finished. Maybe try to make progress with the "Sequel," which is in truth the main story if I view things...
