    Dantian Creation

    According to the internet the upper middle and lower dantian already exist in the bodies as the vessels which essence is taken and turned into qi. So maybe your lore can start with everyone having only one as an excuse to make one? I will say that in most wuxia manwha there’s only one dantian at...

    Setting up a Patreon

    I know some authors do commissions for some of their tiers like writing little side chapters from other characters perspectives that don’t necessarily impact the plot as a whole but can expand the lore of the world. It could help challenge you to expand the scope of your story or it might be...

    Hello there!

    Most long term users, which is where your more dedicated fan base will pull from, have a policy of not latching onto stories that are below the 50 chapter mark. So don’t be too discouraged that your writing isnt getting a ton of traction in the early game. Ask your readers to like and review...

    Hypothetical: What is your chosen ceremonial melee weapon?

    I’d want mine to be easily portable but also not so small I’d lose it. Maybe one of those knives with the knuckle duster handles? Maybe a Kodachi or katana if I have to go bigger.

    Profile picture

    Yeah I’m going to question your choices. I voted for option A just because I don’t like Shinji and frankly, I have to question your sanity that he’s one of the choices. I mean all the characters in all of anime and you pick Shinji from neon Genesis evangelion? ?

    What comes first: Character or Plot

    I would say first thought is the main character. Of course you have to start with a hero then you have to do plot. I mean both are important but I’d think most would come up with a character then, have ideas about plot. One reinforces the other. I would say most important is plot, but if you...

    'Sugar Mommy' or 'Dommy Mommy' character

    Milf is a fetish for a reason. Though I will say sugar mama would probably work more in the long term than dommy momma. If a person has been emotionally and mentally abused by someone that was supposed to take care of them they aren’t going to turn to a dominant for affection and intimacy. Well...

    How to write synopsis?

    More details. Some more foreshadowing. Names. If you’ve got any books with blurbs in the back or book jackets try looking at them for inspiration.

    Rising panic?

    Rising panic implies time. As in starts small and shoots thru the roof. You have the injury and the freak out within a few sentences. Stretch it out a little more maybe a little more combat to distract your fmc from realizing what just happened as she slowly realizes what happened and starts to...

    How does the Trending series ranking work?

    Or you could use the ranking thru specific tags then do chapters views ratings reviews and whether the story is completed or not. Honestly I don’t really look at the trending in the homepage so much as a reader. I mean if there’s a book I know in there I might look at the ranking maybe tell the...

    Recommendations Pacifist dungeon core that's still a dungeon

    Blue Core by Inadvisably Compelled. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/39143/blue-core/ Not so much a challenge with rewards as a sentient dungeon core that dislikes killing people. Can’t say it doesn’t get involved in politics but more it has to because it’s a Power that can later in the series...

    Most Hype Moment ever in a novel?

    I’m sure there are others I’ve read but… The Primal Hunter book 10 final secret boss of the section of the dungeon the MC and their party are in. Most intense fight of that book and probably one of the best fights in the series. for something more mainstream I think the finale of season 1 of...

    How to make friends?

    Definitely use your interests as a gateway to meet people. You said fighting and parkour? Try a boxing gym or if available a parkour gym/studio. For the more scholarly pursuits I suggest the library. Maybe one in your area has a book club or something like that. If all else fails trying googling...

    Writer's Block: Does writing a novel on the side allow you to refresh your mind?

    Sometimes taking a break from writing to do something else can recharge the batteries and build up creative juices for a project. If ideas for another novel are running thru your head then by all means write another story. However remember not to neglect your first story. If it’s burnout or...

    Ideal length for the first book in a new series?

    I’d say yes it’s a little long. Not every book needs to end after an amazing climax. Zogarth the guy who writes The Primal Hunter on Royalroad ends his books wherever he can to get it published by Amazon. It works out for him because he’s on book 15 and still writing so the story doesn’t feel so...

    What are some major milestones to track for your stories?

    Not everyone obsesses. But I think as a reader more than an author the stats that are most important are number of chapters, # of readers, # of likes, # of views, and the star rating of the story and how many reviews there are. Thats not necessarily in order of importance and if it’s a 4-5 star...

    Reaching Beyond Heaven : My Cultivation Had No Negative Effects .

    This is not the way to promote your book. Buckle down write more interact with your readers have them favorite and write reviews on your work. This isn’t a thing where you will become instantly popular because of a few chapters. Most minimally successful writers have to wait until their stories...

    How detailed are your environments?

    Honestly not really. I mean HP makes it pretty clear that Hogwarts is massive so while the details were obviously different from what I pictured in my head the scale was correct. I think your problem is expectations. I’m also pretty sure that isnt much of a castle more of a fort. I would do some...
