    Rant: Why is Webnovel so popular?

    They also heavily inflate their numbers, so it's not as "popular" as it appears to be. By my estimations, they're multiplying viewership numbers by about 10 times what they actually are. You can look at comment rates on other websites, and see a pretty straight correlation between viewer...

    [Corty's Dice Bingo] Help me test it~!

    As an avid ttrpg homebrewer and custom dice game maker myself, I'll start off by saying I love when people try to come up with games, and I love novel ideas. That said, there are 2 fold issues that I see with this game. First, it's free from player agency entirely, while also still being...

    DnD-where to do it?

    The best experience comes from getting irl friends to play. I play on foundry, but roll20 is good too. I've never personally tried with any online communities, but a good friend tried it 5 times, and each time he said it was absolutely awful as compared with playing with people you know. He...

    How many chapters do you post per week?

    You've been asking a lot of questions in the past few days, and many of them have been answered in one form or another already. I'd advise you start searching the forums for answers to these questions first. 1000-3000 words is generally accepted as the wider range that chapter lengths should...

    How am I doing?

    Writing webnovels is, like almost any other online quasi-job, partially skill and partially luck. There is a sea of options for readers, and you're a fisherman with a single line. All you can do is make sure you're doing everything right, and hope that you get lucky. I wrote a thread on this...

    Is it acceptable to use ai for enhancing the vocab?

    In essence, if you're using it like you'd use grammarly, then it's probably fine. As long as you're using AI as an assistant, rather than a co-author, then there isn't that much of a problem. You shouldn't ever just do what your assistant says, you evaluate what they advise before implementing...

    Does a story need a theme?

    This is strictly untrue. Most children's stories start from a theme or singular idea, and are then fleshed out around that life lesson. Obviously non-fiction works are exclusively centered around a singular idea or set of ideas. Often times themes are picked in fantasy in conjunction with...

    Does a story need a theme?

    I think it's not possible to not have a theme. Even if you try really hard to not have a theme, it will. The theme would just end up being "having no coherence". That said, there are plenty of bad or bland themes that people end up with.

    Question about rewording an entire story

    I actually advise caution in doing this. It's entirely up to you, but if you're still writing your story, I advise finishing it first before doing a rewrite, unless you've legitimately written yourself into a corner. Revisions should be done only when you actually have the full body to revise...

    Should I jump the gun?

    Order of importance in writing: 1. Story (Is the story interesting. This encompasses the premise and enjoyability of reading.) 2. Readability (This covers prose, writing quality, grammar, spelling, etc.) 3. Discoverability (This is about all forms of discoverability. Advertising, shout outs...

    Should I jump the gun?

    You need to sit down an evaluate your business practices, and potentially the actual viability of what you're doing. First and foremost, don't just "Publish a bunch of chapters". Schedule, schedule, schedule. Readers want consistency. You want those 21 chapters to come out daily, and then...

    Inner fear

    If this is a real issue, then simply hold out, and post the whole book at once. If you go that route, I'd recommend not bothering with SH or RR, and publish directly to Amazon KDP. Stories still get read if they're finished. I'll also point out that I can understand the visibility issue being...

    Draft idea 2: Weird player of the card academy.

    The story had better be very compelling then, because you're essentially using up all your suspension of disbelief and reader complexity allowance on this system. You're very likely going to have a hard time making the story compelling for the duration. Basically, as far as I can tell, it's...

    Draft idea 2: Weird player of the card academy.

    I have no idea what this means. If the school principle using some other magic outside of cards to turn people's abilities into cards? Are cards not innate to the world itself? Is this just a trading card thing with no magic involved at all, if so, why? This single line is incredibly confusing.

    Draft idea 2: Weird player of the card academy.

    Then I advise caution in your approach. In essence, you don't want readers to become frustrated by the nature of the story. You are, in essence, making a written story about a local trading club league. In real life, if you were watching a local magic the gathering tournament and you watched...

    Draft idea 2: Weird player of the card academy.

    Why cards, though? I've always been fascinated by, and tried to read many stories who classified themselves as "deckbuilders" or "cardgame", but when they use that tag, and the cards have no purpose, and could just be skill orbs, or some other thing, I down rate them. It's not a card game...

    What do you consider to be reasonable price for a novel

    It really depends on the quality, size, and author for me. There is "industry standard" prices, which pretty much everyone should follow. A quick amazon or barnes and noble search will give you those prices for any particular length and genre in paperback. If you're more than a dollar outside...
