    How do you usually imagine a world and its characters while reading a novel?

    I don't imagine at all. My brain doesn't convert words into things, they remain as words. Now that I think about it it's pretty weird. I remember that when I was younger I could actually imagine things but now it's all just words, I don't know if it's because I chose to do so to read faster or...

    Do you guys like when a story tells you the end from the get-go?

    That's why I never read chapter one.

    Thoughts on first few chapter rewrite.

    It's definitely a lot of work but if you have the time to go back and fix some things I think it's worth it.

    Some tropes that I am uncomfortable reading

    Tragedy, Gacha, Rape, Rape Victim Becomes Lover, anything with cheating, "the weak this the strong that" mentality, arrogant characters, Jade Beauties, hot-headed MC, extras over reacting to every single thing the MC does. Anything that is either written by a Chinese or is inspired by them to...

    Why so wishy washy with JP banishment?

    This is like the "Genius in the past but now Talentless" MC in Chinese novels. It's a pretty cheap, overused way of adding tension in the beginning. I think that happens in JP LN because in Japan if your superior does something bad or whatever, you can't do much, so they fantasize about being...

    Why are 'Chapters' and 'Word Count' and not 'Pages' used as the main metric for story length when searching on this site?

    Word count is way more specific than page count. If you're coming from RR it takes some time to get used to it but once you do, you'll never go back. If you know that you read X words per minute, you can easily guess how long it'll take to read a novel. When I go to RR I usually multiply (275 *...

    Story here vs Royal

    Royal Road is like Reddit. Everyone there acts like they're experts, be the readers, writers, everyone. On a side note, the tags your story has isn't something I'd read so I can't give a review but I think you'll do better on scribblehub than RR based on your tags. At least from my experience, I...

    Why stories about foxes are so popular?

    I might anger some people here but I can't keep acting as if this is normal, I need to say it. The concept of {insert animal} girls is one of THE most overused and boring concepts out there. I never understood the appeal and I probably never will.

    Am I the only one?

    He's the chosen one!!!! My guilty pleasure is the usual "Extra MC" shenanigans, 99.9% of the time it's garbage but that 0.1% man, that 0.1% makes it worth it I swear

    Is plot armor actually that bad?

    Plot armor was fine until the Xianxia nation attacked. Every once in a while Is ok but when the story is pretty much "Things happen -> MC overreacts -> consequences-> plot armor -> repeat" you will get tired.

    Webnovel Reader Age?

    I'm in my mid 20s and I started as a teenager so the audience is probably made of nerds between 16-20s. Depending on the genres the age changes, I'd say the younger guys prefer more "wish fulfillment" while the older audience can't stand it, coming from someone who was both at some point in time.
