I would say that Dostoevsky, Charles Dickens, and Dan Brown are all entertaining, though. Even if they don't have as quick gratification as some of the things you're comparing them to, that doesn't mean that "high literature" is any less free from this guideline. Most of the classics are...

I usually look through my read later list from stuff I've seen on trending passively but saved for later. I eat through stories so fast I often don't read stuff that has less than like 100k words unless it's completed. If I'm not feeling anything there, or if I'm feeling something in particular...

Consistency is really important. I would advise planning out regular update days with a consistent time and sticking to them, rather than just adding to the story whenever you feel like it. Uploading in bursts then disappearing for a while makes people confused and wonder when the next update...

It's hard to say. I think the most important question that should be asked is does each individual narrative stand on its own well enough? If half of the characters aren't as interesting as the other half, then all that might happen is you have five good books and four bad books. You could also...

I'm actually amazed how low your views are with those wordcounts. I think you need to rewrite your story blurbs and schedule your chapters for an american time zone. I really think the time zone is actually the biggest problem. Post your schedule in the Synopsis and schedule your chapters for...

I usually only read the reviews if I'm on the fence about starting a story in the first place. Even then I will usually still give the first few chapters a try regardless. I've ended up reading some pretty bad stories for longer than I probably wanted to but I've also read a lot of great stories...

You can make the magic system as complex or obfuscated as you like. As long as you remain consistent in how you present it and never break the rules you lay out unless you have a really good reason, you'll be fine explaining it however you like. In series like Full Metal Alchemist, the magic...

If we're going by the definition of Cuckolding being any extramarital/extra-relational sex then yes it can be romantic depending on the situation. I could see it being used as a way to "prove" how much a character loves another character despite having sex with others. Or it could just be...

JamminRabbit and I have a difference of opinion on what constitutes NTR. NTR requires ruining the relationship, Netorase is basically just swinging which is not what most people are talking about when they say they hate NTR. The reason why I explained my reasoning was to clearly differentiate...

I think one aspect you're missing here is that for it to be NTR the lover has to be permanently stolen, as in taken away from the aggrieved party. Even if the harem members are upset about the main character sleeping with someone else, it's not NTR unless it ruins the relationship. Cheating and...
