    I feel like my views are diminishing

    You don't have enough chapters to reasonably make that a concern. There are dry months. The only time you can really say "hey, it seems like views are diminishing" is when you have a large enough sample. When you look at the month by month graph and see diminishing views, that's when you can...

    Is an MWF schedule a bad idea?

    I don't read into it too much. I find that Friday releases, while themselves get low viewership compared to say, Monday and Wednesday, get a lot more views over the weekend (with a spike usually on Saturday). That means most readers who get a "Friday Chapter" pretty much read it Saturday...

    Magic and Logic Why They Can't Coexist(?)

    By the traditional definitions of "magic" then it's outside of science. But in modern terms, between rpgs and fantasy novels, there is a second definition which is just, 'phenomenon' that are fantastic and don't happen on earth. That can be logical.

    Why can't translators do their job. (false alarm this time)

    I'm not a fan of translators fucking with stuff, Crunchyroll, yenpress, 4kids, you name it and they do it. In this particular case, however, it's actually pretty much what is written there in Japanese, so uhhh, spot on work translators.

    Amazon Vs Patreon

    Only if your next story is in most of the same genres as your other stories IMO. If someone who writes a lot of smut thinks they can suddenly write sci-fi with no smut and keep their same reader base, they'll soon find the falsity in that.

    Amazon Vs Patreon

    Amazon Kindle Unlimited requires exclusivity, but publishing a book has no such restriction. Personally, I use patreon currently. I operate with the following plan, which is what I consider an Americanized version of the Japanese pipeline to publishing. Each progressive stage is determined by...

    Just a little bit of cuteness

    My guess was guitar next. Darn. People who learn to play instruments that require finger stretching before puberty have longer fingers. If you start learning them after that, and you don't have long fingers, you're doomed to mediocrity in those instruments. Anyway, smol hand. :blob_uwu:

    Right time of the day to release a chapter?

    Three bits of info to help you analyze what time works best for you. - What time can you publish to keep yourself super consistent? (Consistency is the most important part, more important than the following two bits) - What country hosts your target audience (for most people this is the US.)...

    Writing while sick

    I made all my deadlines while fighting a lung problem that resulted in me waking up coughing if I slept for more than an hour (while experiencing asthma attacks about every 2). It was hell. Probably shouldn't have kept writing for those two months, but I did.

    All fanfic writers are creatively bankrupt thieves.

    This is the singular best reason for it to exist.

    What is the point of publishing? Would you publish your story?

    Amazon kindle unlimited requires exclusivity, but just publishing on Amazon KDP puts no restrictions on you as an author. It's free, and just lets you sell physical and e-book copies. I intend to send signed copies of my book to my most loyal of patrons once I publish there. Now, I do plan on...

    What is the point of publishing? Would you publish your story?

    Upon re-reading your post, there are a few misunderstandings I think about how Amazon publishing works (either that, or I misunderstand them). Yes, you'd need to pay for your own advertising, if you want it. If you don't want it however, and just want to put it up tagged so it can be found...

    What is the point of publishing? Would you publish your story?

    Something I haven't seen discussed yet is another aspect of having a publisher, which is taking things off your plate. If you ONLY want to write new stories, and the publisher will reduce your workload of things that aren't new stories, then it can also be worth it. Many don't reduce your work...

    All fanfic writers are creatively bankrupt thieves.

    I know 2 people IRL who make hundreds of dollars a month writing MHA smut fanfiction. What is your opinion on people who ARE profiting from the matter? You don't even have to look far to find fanfictions that have patreons or paypal donations. They are profiting from it. Your argument that...

    Webnovel, the site

    China already steals copyrighted and patented stuff all the time from smaller companies that can't get their governments to do anything, this isn't a new thing. Makes me happy when my government (US) turns the screws on them sometimes though.

    My ‘infinite background’ problem.

    Event driven stories might be more common than you think. The walking dead is a good example (I think at least). The characters themselves come and go, and many of them aren't likable. The events that happen to the characters drive the story and make it interesting. Apocalyptic stories...

    My ‘infinite background’ problem.

    Honestly, it sounds like you don't want to write a character driven story. Maybe try to make an event driven story with average actors within it? The characters don't have to be the most compelling part, sometimes the happenings that go on are the interesting part.

    Short or Long Titles?

    We should strive for it to be as short as possible. Some genres though, you gotta fit a lot in there to make it attractive. I think I recommended 8 words at the upper end. Many genres don't need many words, but damn, when you look at stories that are three different genres deep... Imagine a...

    Short or Long Titles?

    Within the webnovel meta, your title is essentially the shortest possible synopsis for your story. People see the following on most webnovel websites: Cover Art -> Title -> (Sometimes a brief description). So you need to make people interested with the title. If you're in certain genres...

    Webnovel, the site

    If we're going to go ahead and point out subsections of their contract, if anyone bothers reading section 3.3, Bluebery is under contract not to disparage webnovel in any way on any online location, or they violate their contract. If webnovel was a US company, this wouldn't be able to be held...
