    Ai cover is the same as no cover

    I... kinda disagree on the implications at the titling of this thread but in general, I have a good laugh ? Anyways, I would consider it as "no cover" if it's just the showcased AI-generated character portrait, but I surely have a good faith in everyone that they're at least willing to put...

    Does anyone else also hate how reincarnation is often handled?

    Reincarnation as a story trope is either served as a cheap shot to rise through top ranks in big platforms (arguably Royal Road, WebNovel and Scribble Hub) or become a fairly compelling plot device with great care and clear reasoning on the question 'why'. So far most authors here follow the...

    Webnovel Feedback Roasts For the Fearless

    whoever did this for one chapter needs to be crucified. Holy cow that's so long, I'd rather compile it into a small volume with 2500 words each chapter

    Are giant sea turtles overrated?

    So it's like a mobile fortress city. Interesting

    Are giant sea turtles overrated?

    I can't say the same thing as y'all, so I'll take the notes here.

    Trying to read a translated novel sucks.

    Honestly, I agree. The only thing that may finish the translations are the legit folks from Seven Seas or J-Novel Club. We don't talk about Yen Press though... (unless everyone here told me that they're increasing their pace at releasing the volumes)

    This is so frustrating?.

    that's a fairly unique manhwa for me. To me, it's like system system system regression system, did I say system four times? Yeah, more system. Also asshole harem protagonist who apes (the R is redacted) every girl he finds, or the the author blueballing his reader with barely existing romantic...

    Names with a meaning vs random names

    I just picked a name for my characters out of Reedsy.

    Hypothetical Scenario??

    Good luck stitching it together, because when technologies suddenly vanished like that means something unexplainable must have happened. Either a). a radical anti-tech religious extremist silently erases all the blueprints and dismantling the existing tech before proceeding to summon the very...

    Disliked by strangers.

    I actually thought the same as what John Owl said. Maybe you talked smack about what the author likes. Usually people would've let it slip, but idk about that case.

    Every Fanfic is Wish-Fulfillment.

    I mean to some extent, they are. But there are a minority of fanfic writers who think the author (or developer of a game) doesn't address a plot hole or the inconsistent retconnings the original writer did, so they make one. But again, as a former fanfiction writer for 7 years, I agree that...

    Why so wishy washy with JP banishment?

    I don't know what kind of story you read, but on my side, the story goes like this: Protagonist has [insert "lame" power], get kicked out from a guild/party (usually hero guild/party), turned out to be the best, becoming even better than his (or her, but it's kinda rare seeing a female...

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

    Only if this is a physical book. Even then, it's tied to a page format, like maybe A4 or A5, or Japanese's standard light novel paper format, A6. But even then, it's not like a regular novel size where it's thick, so word count (and word per page) count would be the metric everyone would use...

    I hate that elves live for a 1000 years. I don’t care if it’s the staple. It’s jarring.

    You're looking for a subgenre of Fantasy called Low Fantasy. Little magics being written, mostly political, swords shields and arrows, so on so forth, just like Game of Thrones (although they have dragons so they're likely in-between Low and High) So this is basically the original depiction of...

    What are peoples thoughts on authors allowing their readers to finish a story for them?

    plausible, but the results might be lacking, depending on everyone's taste. And then there's a matter of bias, so it's likely going to have some form of deviation on the author's original vision. Unless you have someone close who has your vision and later given a green light to continue under...

    Writing Story on two different platform

    I heard WebNovel won't advertise your story, so the exposure would be miniscule. The best thing you can do is to ditch WebNovel and went to Royal Road instead

    Bulk import, or multi-chapter adding, would be nice!

    unfortunately they don't accept .pdf format, only .docx and .epub file. Whereas you can either time the release or not, I forgot...

    Bulk import, or multi-chapter adding, would be nice!

    you could bulk import in Royal Road. However, it's locked behind paywall for 6 bucks a month or 60 bucks for a year subscription. If you're like a seasonal author, I think that's worth the price
