    What other websites do you use for reading?

    Mostly RR, I also post here obviously and WN but I haven't and I don't think I ever would sign their contract. I'm not delusional enough to think my novel will get an anime adaption or something but just giving up the copyright to my work feels too scummy. Who knows? I might be desperate for...

    What To Do With Too Many Oranges? ?

    Try squeezing them by hand. It'll serve as exercise instead of typing that only really train your fingers :oops:

    That feeling when you accidentaly delete a 4k word chapter and realize you didnt save it elsewhere

    This is why I write on word and then upload to google docs... unless I press ctrl+a then delete or backspace, I'll always find the draft I wrote. Good luck mate! I hope I'll never experience such a thing :s_eek:

    Nothing new

    Definitely. I remember 7 years ago just by scrolling the first couple of pages on novel updates, I'd be able to find a few good reads but now....

    What is your advice to new writers or aspiring one

    Just because you like your story, don't expect everyone else will as well. Basically, be ready for some hate. Be open to critique but stick to your idea of how the story should go, you will eventually find your target audience or they will stumble upon your story.

    Tell me about your most hated characters.

    Soft spoken virgin JP MC's that also tend to get nosebleed's for seeing a girls cleavage. Psychopathic CN MC's that kill 9 generations of an enemy because they looked at them funny. Money-grubbing KR MC's that would cry about a 200 won difference in salt for 100+ chapters (I like money-grubbing...

    Is it just me or are action scenes a cheat code?

    sometimes... who am I kidding? yeah, action scenes take up quite a lot of word count! but so could conversations btw, if you can carry it well then a conversation could take up an entire chapter

    How far along is your story?

    53 chapters released, writing chapter 78 right now. Not sure how long it will be but I'm still at the beginning I would say. I couldn't help but procrastinate a bit but I should head back to writing. Yeah I smiled today, honest.

    swear words in historical novel?

    What's your average word count per chapter in your story?

    2.17 K It usually ranges around 2k but a chapter could have 2.6K or 1.8K depending on what I plan to fit into the chapter, I try not to let it stretch beyond that. Sometimes when I'm in the zone and realize I wrote 2.9K words I'll go a bit back and cut the chapter off from a certain point and...

    I wanted to write Fantasy novel but I CAN'T

    I have a seperate document that holds the current character level and equipment. Important stuff that needs to be changed or mention semi-regularly should be stored for ease of acces. As for names? just keep it simply and brainstorm a few things. For example, one of the skills my main character...
