    How do you add an Author’s Note on Scribble Hub?

    To be fair, I like the "announcement" layout left from it more design-wise.

    How to cure writer's Block

    It helps me to have different stories and write what I situationally feel more inclined to. Also, you can manipulate your taste a bit if you are doing something you associate with your story. Or in my case, one of my stories, which opens up the range of what you might feel like doing. For...

    Ideal length for chapters

    Usually, 1500-2000 is recommended. Less and it appears a bit short to wait for. More and one misses out on exposure for appearing on the starting page with the new chapter more regularly.

    What is your story ACTUALLY about

    Power you don't want, while a transformation into a monster doesn't mean you become a monster in mind. Characters are, mildly put, inconvenienced by receiving power that goes far above what humans can obtain. (And this should be repeated three times over)

    Power Fantasy Is Not Bad, Fight Me

    Personally, I think if the main focus of the story is some form of conflict, then a power fantasy is kinda bad. There are no stakes if they can just bulldoze everything. No need for conformity. Nothing they have to answer for, as they're essentially god. Also, I can't help but roll my eyes...

    What makes your fiction unique?

    I guess my take on the non-human transformation genre? My protagonists are humans who turn into certain kinds of monsters. Yet at their core, they are the people they were before, without any adjustment. They need to deal with being most foreign creatures in body, as well as society. So I'm...

    Ever noticed that your character is a pretty crappy person? / What if worldbuilding leads to moral issues?

    I also think that moral ambiguity is an interesting concept and deserves to be developed. Still, I am asking myself what I want from my MCs. Like, how far am I willing to let her slaughter orcs and see them as lesser than animals? They are some form of very aggressive, savage, tribal people, but...

    Ever noticed that your character is a pretty crappy person? / What if worldbuilding leads to moral issues?

    I don't mean them being intended as one. I've got more of a flexible writing style, where I'm somewhat open about what happens. What's important to me is that the characters make sense in their actions, and act realistically, according to their upbringing, situation, circumstances. For example...

    Writer's Block: Does writing a novel on the side allow you to refresh your mind?

    I'm writing currently on five (or four, as one is inactive). It helps me going along with my moods. One is an adventure story, so like if I feel like playing RPGs, that one's my go. One is a pretty much OP fantasy, through the dimensions, so I get in the mood when I imagine OP-fights or am...

    Have you ever wanted to read a light novel that feels like a magical story from the Middle Ages?

    Given that his account consists half of numbers, I'm not exactly sure how serious they are about becoming a writer.

    Writing Have you ever experienced a plot hole involving inconsistent character descriptions?

    Had to rename the father of my MC, because I intentionally used a different one and then backpedaled, after I basically committed on the second one that was arguably worse. Also, I used a bunch of names of characters I'm now probably going to introduce on already existing characters...

    If Given A Choice, Would You?

    Though, I think I need to revise a bit. In my stories, in particular Eldritch, there's a form of karmic protection going for souls, and they get reincarnated. Since this seems pretty appealing long-term, I'd settle for this. Even though, it would probably suck being hopelessly reincarnated in...

    What are some major milestones to track for your stories?

    Probably the title? "Slime Girl" is pretty simple, yet it's something that people would randomly type in the search bar. Also, it got an interesting premise that comes down in the early chapters. Yet back then I didn't even have a proper prologue nor was my writing all that great (so that may...

    As a reader, what kind of protagonist would you be willing to follow in the story?

    I guess it can work for an action story, but usually, for anything complex, readers are ought to follow out of interest, I wouldn't recommend it. You know "Tales of Zestiria"? The MC is such an insufferable goody-two-shoes. Worse, the universe bends itself to make it so that his preachings never...

    As a reader, what kind of protagonist would you be willing to follow in the story?

    First, they shouldn't be an asshole. Many go for an antihero, but I seriously cannot enjoy a puppykicker. And if they kill anyone who opposes them, refuses to help people at no greater inconvenience for themselves, and consistently make choices that are harmful to others, then I wouldn't know...

    What are some major milestones to track for your stories?

    I guess it was pretty special for me when I had around three hundred readers after the first couple of weeks. Combined with staying quite consecutively on #1 trending. Given that I truly had no expectations, am a non-native English speaker, and was acutely aware that my writing abilities are not...

    If Given A Choice, Would You?

    I mean, it depends as wha. As a normal human, there would be no real benefit or worse to it. Also, I'm lazy by nature, so without bodily boost, I'd not really have anything from it. There's an off-chance I could appeal to a goddess, but to bet on that seems irrational.

    Writing What is your favorite protagonists hair color?

    I took both indigo and purple, as the exact color is very hard to land on.

    What are some things you wish you knew when you started writing?

    Don't have expectations. You are one of thousands of writers on a free website. The chance that yours of all of them is going to become the next big thing is conceited beyond limits. Don't bet on making it, but see it as a non-commitment try or a hobby. Otherwise, it's like you placed everything...

    Why must it be a sword, especially in eastern cultivation, namely the jian sword?

    Swords (and smaller bladed weapons) are pretty standard weapons a character can always carry around, and may even sit down with. Something bigger, like a spear would have to be put aside indoors. You need to ask yourself how they get through the doorstep, or interact within boundaries in daily...
