    Does it matter what time I post my chapters?

    There are also quite a few people who like to let chapters accumulate and then read in binge-sessions. If you have many readers of that type, when exactly you post the chapters becomes about as meaningless as your chances of getting into trending (sadly, some stories really deserve more...

    What are your thoughts on villainess stories?

    Make that a GL harem and I'm in. Or at least just ditch the guys and go for the heroine, if you insist on keeping romance in the story. Like any other genre, they can be good or bad depending on a lot of factors. Characters are an important factor, both the glimpses of the original story we get...

    Writing How important glossary is for you?

    I can't quite follow your logic here, tbh. The point of a glossary isn't that everybody sees/reads it but to provide an easily accessible place to look up stuff like who this character that's not showed up for 100 chapters was again or additional information an author might want to provide...

    What does the referrer thing mean

    Is that the section where you can see which sites people come from when looking at your stories?

    Evolution of a Human in a Monster World(Or something)

    I've seen stories where humans can evolve into something like high humans, but it's modtly a stat boost and prolonged lifespan, not much in terms of visual distinction like most monsters get. I don't think I've seen stories where this is the case with the MC. I do remember one manga that's...

    Which vtubers do you like/follow?

    I've seen clips from a bunch of them, mostly hololive. The most I've seen would probably be Nux, if he counts, his content is insanity. Next would probably be Ironmouse and Melody. Gura is nice too.

    Weirdest religions in fiction?

    If you can get behind a setting where everybody is a dark shade of grey at best, then yes. The setting has no good guys. Period.

    Weirdest religions in fiction?

    For me, I think the Imperial Cult in Warhammer 40k takes the cake for the irony of it all. The books where the Emperor is still around make it abundantly clear that he wanted to do away with religion completely (despite knowing that gods actually exist) and actively (as in, with a galaxy...

    Traditional Manga Format

    Personally, I even prefer my manga or comics to have all the pages of a chapter beneath each other, it's just so much more comfortable when you don't have to load each page individually when reading digitally, be it on the phone or on the PC. Webcomics are a different breed though, many of them...

    Recommendations Stories with an "Equippable Ally"

    Theoretically, everything with an inbuilt AI could count, so, Iron Man? Often, sentient weapons or armor don't have human forms, would that count for you too?

    LF Harem Stories with actual Romance & without sad Stuff

    Mainly GL-Harems here: The Hidden World keeps the poly aspect (and romance in general) a bit low and sadly drops a few story threads at the end, but it was an enjoyable read. Lets Explore and Enjoy might be interesting, but it has tree main characters that have yet to meet and so far covers...

    A badass catchphrase?

    These kinds of slogans are sometimes in Latin, so maybe try translating them Non omnes angeli propitius eris Ut per tenebras in lucem veniet per tenebras lucem (I like this one, shortened to "Through darkness light") Nos hic non est qui salvet te Si autem est vere gravi forsit Or how about...

    Mirror Mirror. . . I forgot

    deviantArt is your high bar on lewdness? How did you grow up this sheltered? I don't think it's a majority of the series, but I could be wrong. The vast majority that do should be properly tagged, so it should be hard to stumble into them unprepared.

    THE Suicide Squad trailers discussion

    Chubby shark still makes no sense to me, honestly. Neither do I understand how DC thinks people in general will take the constant semi-rebooting and -recasting of their movies, it's already hard to keep track of what is and isn't supposed to be in the same continuity for people keeping track of...

    Let's make a main-stream list of genre breakdowns.

    I mainly know what you describe as deconstruction. Breakdown, as far as I have seen the term used, is more a concise summary, often in the form of bullet points. Shield Hero is another hard deconstruction of many Isekai tropes, with three of the four summoned heroes doing more herm than good...

    Linear vs Non-Linear Story

    I like both, if done well. If done well, a non-linear story can be really cool, as others already pointed out. You can keep thematically related story threads close to each other when if they are years apart with a lot of other things happening in-between. You can even play twist reveals from...

    Writing AI characters

    There are a lot of factors that can go into this: -sentient and self aware or not -origins and programming of the AI -processing power of the hardware -ability to adept, learn and potentially rewrite itself An AI can only do correct calculations correctly, if the mathematical framework it has...

    Time travelling paradoxes

    Or maybe you were your own grandfather all along? Personally, I really like intricate closed time loops, where the shenanigans that happen during the time traveling always happened and ideally, we get to see two perspectives of the events. Though branching timelines and timeline hopping can...
