    Have you ever read a story with no internal-monologue?

    Although I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, I think it's entirely possible. You know how in anime characters tend to overreact a lot so it's easy to read their emotions? Yeah, it's basically just gonna be like that but in word form.

    Weeby inflections in writing

    Is the setting and language that of Japan/something similar? If not then it's just straight up awkward. This even applies if you're translating something from Japanese literature. Imagine being in some sort of grimdark medieval European setting and they call the villain lich-sama or something...

    readers and charachters

    I believe you are referring to a chunibyou. Personally, I may fantasize about my waifus and fave characters and jokingly talk about them to my friends. Though I never actually used it as a crutch during tough times, never even thought of it. Maybe that's cause I always like to keep a fine line...

    How to know if a story is doing good?

    Considering your novel has the gender bender tag, surprisingly low? I see a romance tag, so if it's between mc and a female, you can move the girls love subplot to the main tags, will get more attention that way. Maybe change up the synopsis a bit more? Though you didn't ask for advice so just...

    What do you, as a reader, like to see in a novel?

    I like it when a story seems nice and innocent. But slowly some dark shit gets revealed in the background and then a dark and terrifying plot reveals itself in all of its glory.

    I have a small first chapter going, I like how dark it is but does anyone else feel the same when reading it

    The later chapters would change a reader's impression of your first chapter tbh, there's a sense of mystery to it. Just some general tips though, get a cover,, it helps a lot... even a simple clipart with the title and your name would do. It sets you apart from other stories, specially with your...

    I have a small first chapter going, I like how dark it is but does anyone else feel the same when reading it

    At the end, you switch from present-tense to past-tense, is this intentional? Otherwise, it doesn't particularly give me a good or bad impression on the first chapter. It's pretty badass yes, but not really scary or unsettling.

    Which POVs do you like the most? Why?

    3rd person objective if I'm not too focused on comedy, I feel that it's the best way to show interactions between multiple "main" characters without revealing too much. If it is comedy-focused, omniscient narrator since I like it when characters overreact. 1st person is great tho if the story...

    Farewell Note

    Huh, I might post my second story there. I mean they seem to have a literal partnership with My Anime List so they should have at least a reasonable amount of viewership. I'll try it out by posting my next fic. Though I don't understand why OP can't just post on both websites, not like the...

    Post Your Synopsis & Get Feedback

    You see my thought process there was because the definition of alchemist varies wildly from fiction to fiction, and at that point people would have wildly different impressions of what it means, so I have to establish it right from the synopsis, though I probably already set some expectations in...

    This one is honestly a little too long for my taste, so I would probably cut down something, but here it is: Title: That Time my Alchemist Boyfriend Turned Himself Into a Cute Girl(Alt title: A Seed of Life) Genre: Horror, Comedy, Romance, Supernatural, GL(?) Alchemists are gifted...

    Being about to be transmigrated, What kind of technology would you take to another world?

    Ah right, when I think of nanomachines I think of an entire swarm, but I guess this one is specific to your own body. You know what, I'm switching to option 3, I will create a better AI version of myself. Might rename to Bob. My will shall live on and become a machine god. Basically gonna become...

    Being about to be transmigrated, What kind of technology would you take to another world?

    I don't know why anyone else would choose anything other than nanomachines or the RV(and only because nanomachines can't replicate access to earth's internet). I hope the immortality has an off switch though. If it doesn't I'll just pick option 1.

    Are tentacle monster considered lovecraftian eldritch monster ?

    Alright to be fair, there was that one bard that fucked Cthulhu good. I'll give you that

    Are tentacle monster considered lovecraftian eldritch monster ?

    If people don't go insane just by trying to comprehend said tentacle monster, then it is not a Lovecraftian horror. They are way more than just tentacles lol. Iirc some depictions are masses of flesh or more humanoid and non-fleshly forms.(Elder gods)

    How much time would be good for speed running 1k word chapters?

    I type faster than I can formulate the flow of the chapter, so unless you have the entire chapter figured out wpm is not too important. It helps a lot with editing though. I'd like to imagine someone actually did that, became popular and no one ever found out because the source was so obscure.

    How much time would be good for speed running 1k word chapters?

    If it works, great. If it doesn't well at least I'll know I fucked up so badly that I get motivation to write something better.

    What is more important, plot or character?

    "Junior, you dare?! You do not understand the profundity and immensity of the dao. Xianxia and Xuahhuan are obviously the pinnacle with the most realistic portrayal of relationships and well-written rivalries. The plot is also so indepth that the 15th ever tournament arc of the 10k+ chapters are...

    How much time would be good for speed running 1k word chapters?

    So, I'm lazy at writing so I decided to make a challenge for myself. I'll make a relatively low-effort mediocre web serial but I'll write 1k words a day for it in a short amount of time. I don't count editing in this. The reason I'm posting this is to ask, what would be a good time limit to...
