    Could you write a book you didn't care about?

    It's a challenge, but one that can be overcome. By trying to write a story out of your comfort zone, you'll probably learn way more than writing whatever the hell you personally enjoy. If you have a good reason (feeding yourself), I don't see why you wouldn't do that. *Edit. IT CAN be...

    I like the advice of this guy.

    His advice is outdated but still pretty good. In the age of the internet it has never been easier to write novels and earn money, so while I agree with him, he comes off as a little too pessimistic.

    Feedback on my Synopsis?

    I like it... Pretty good synopsis, though I think you could refine it. I would slightly reword and expand this part: This sounds a little hasty and disjointed. Maybe refine it a little more, but this is already serviceable, I guess. On a personal level, it's kinda interesting, though...

    Looking for feedback on half finished cover

    This looks awesome. NGL this solves all the problems the original had.

    Villian Origin Story Novels

    :blob_hmm: Good luck with that. Also takes big balls to compare your own story to Shadow Slave. Of course, a story can change in scope after hundreds and hundreds of chapters, so adding a tag if that happens is normal and perfectly acceptable. It's most likely the case because the Author...

    Villian Origin Story Novels

    ... this isn't how it works. They need to be present at the start! You can't say: "This is an antihero story," only for it to change after 20 chapters when it's clear that the MC is an outright villain. Tags are not "changing"; tags that get updated and added after a certain point in the...

    Authors, do we need discord?

    My Discord is not very active, despite 200+ members. It's kinda useful though, I use it to post news and ask people for help if I need it. I wouldn't bother at your point. If you reach a couple of hundred active Patrons, you can consider it. I mean, it's free, and nothing is stopping you, but...

    Update vs Republish?

    I would argue that it isn't an issue. He has no readers... so aside from a few Forum users who provided him with helpful advice, no one even knows. He does not have to abandon his old version; he might as well delete it. That way, nobody will take notice. As I said, he does not have a single...

    Update vs Republish?

    It's true, but with a fresh cover, a new blurb, and the initial boost from releasing a brand new story, he might as well rerelease and hope for a better start. It's not like he has anything to lose from his old stories. Still not a single reader. That way, he can also upload new chapters, maybe...

    Update vs Republish?

    Might as well republish with a fresh version. Is it not like you're going to lose many viewers, right? This will at least give you that initial boost, and your new story will appear on the front page for a day (if you are lucky).

    Music composing for novels?

    The majority of people find music distracting. Absolutely not needed IMO.

    Is this offensive?

    It's not offensive, but it's terrible cringe. The opposite of humorous. Childish humor.

    I need advice on narration

    I dislike constantly switching narrators. It gets confusing. Also, if you use a third-person narrator for fights, does that mean that the reader does not get to know the MC's thoughts and feelings during the battle? Feels like a really silly idea. Or do you simply narrate his feelings in the...

    How Does Your MC Wipe Their Ass?

    Waifus can be male and female. You can use the lesser-used term Husbandos, but Waifus is still perfectly valid even for male love interests.

    How Does Your MC Wipe Their Ass?

    Protagonists and Waifus do not shit... ever. Their food just gets completely burned by their bodies.

    What's the most difficult thing about writing story content?

    Taking proper notes, suspending writing to fill my various lists of characters/skills/items/progressions/active quests. I often slack on these things, and then every 50-60 chapters, I have to clean house and spend half a day doing the things I could have easily done by interrupting my writing...

    Actually coherent criticism?

    It's totally fine! You can use AI, but you need to be careful and always proofread and maybe change your prompt to tell AI to only correct mistakes and not change/rewrite entire paragraphs.

    Actually coherent criticism?

    This was from the latest chapter (chapter 17), and the segment I posted is 100% written by AI. Of course, you write the story on your own, but you surely ask AI to rewrite/improve it. It uses your story, but it adds words and certain phrasing. Nobody writes like that, I can tell you it's 100%...

    Actually coherent criticism?

    I'll give yours a read in the next few days. However, I'll probably mostly comment on the plot and if I find it interesting. Since you use GPT for writing, there is nothing to say in terms of grammar or mistakes. I honestly would recommend that you stop letting it write your story for you. It...
