    I couldn't wait

    Well, I can sort of relate. I have my main work which I post as I write, however I have a number of other works which I have been adding to on the side. I could post them now, I mean one has over 60k words, the issue is however that I lack the motivation to be able to keep posting chaps, so once...

    I have to wonder...

    The understanding i have is that Advanced chaps seem to be the way to go for paid content. beyond that, I'm not sure what its like for the published books side of things, but from those I have spoken to, they all seem to lean towards using patreon for adv content over their novel sales

    Tell me about your most hated characters.

    For me, it is anyone who fits into 2 main archetypes. 1. Those who impose their will, or restrict the freedom of an mc. 2. Spineles MC's who don't stand up for themselves. I personally hate it when there are characters who overstep their bounds, something I find quite prevalent in Japanese...

    How popular was your work when you first published it?

    The stats for mine were a little skewed, ngl. I managed around 200 if I remember correctly, and that was on the second day of the work's release. just checked my stats and between the 17th and the 23rd of the month I managed to get 456 readers and that was with 18 chapters released, 2/3 each day...

    You open up a Cultivation story, what do you expect?

    A cover that wont actually reflect the MC in the slightest, usually some woman in questionable attire you'd expect to find in a red light district, and most commonly, a bunch of green-skinned women being called beautiful.

    I need synopsis help

    I recently helped someone out in the same situation and here is the gist of what I told him: "Readers want to know what they are getting themselves into, so give them a little bit of information about the world and its setting, then let them know a little bit about the main character and his...

    Are there any certain types of film that you think is no longer interesting?

    Transformers. We went from Cars with big explosions, to knights with big explosions, (then in the same movie Dinosaurs with big explosions) and now we are getting animals with big explosions. the transformers are regressing while the explosions are becoming bigger. so needless!

    Username and Avatar

    hehe, what a question. Well, since i wanted to write anonymously, I sat down and thought to myself: What's a dumb a sh*t username that suits me. I then found this truly fabulous profile pic I saved to my photos some years ago and thought, hot daymn, that's just spectacular. upon further...

    What is a good balance for a story that contains fluffy but also focus on combat oriented interactions?

    My advice (which may only work for me) is to follow the flow of the writing. If the chance for some fluff appears and it won't seem forced, go for it. I always have a reason behind why something may occur, for example, if the MC decides to go to town, it will be for weapon repair lets say, at...

    How bad a thing can a good person do?

    This brings into question morality and its grey side. and to be honest, as a writer I relish these kinds of situations since it allows us to delve into the complexities and further develop a character. I would say that you should look at the characters bottom line and weigh the past, present...

    Touchy subject

    If you get annoyed, it means your writing it well in my honest opinion. I have written a few of such scenes and I find when I get worked up the writing flows better. i try to immerse myself in the MC's position and try to navigate from that perspective so smaller details are easier to create and...

    Cover for my upcoming novel

    Honestly, as a piece of art it looks quite cool. only issues id say it has is 1. without a title, what it depicts is somewhat unknown so readers are less likely to investigate compared to if they somewhat know what to expect, and 2. Novels that depict the MC tend to get more views. If you have a...

    if you write a litrpg, is there any rules you would add?

    Honestly, my 2 bits of advice are 1: Logic, and 2: experience. To explain what I mean I will go into detail. In terms of logic, think of it like this, I see SOOOO many novels where they kill say 10 normal enemies, and then gain 10 levels, and say within this this world there are 500 levels...
