I think it depends on what the baseline level of your work is. If that one paragraph is brutal compared to everything else then yeah, probably better. I mean, it's like three clicks and four words, it's not an undue amount of work. The worst you'll get is people whining about it but so what...

Publish more than 7 chapters, maybe? View counts increase exponentially. The more chapters you have, the more any one person who decides to give your story a try will add to your total and the more chapters there are the more likely it is that people will touch your story at all. Also, quite...

It's totally random. It seems to favor works that aren't featured anywhere else though. Ever since I started showing up in the recommendations under other series' I stopped showing up on the Trending tab. Also, looking at your series', allow me to give you a piece of unsolicited advice: Slow...

Grammar is extremely important. Nothing makes people drop a story faster than horrendous grammar and sentence structure. HOWEVER, what Word considers a mistake and what is actually a mistake are two very separate things. Spellcheck and AI can help you but in the end, nothing replaces the tried...

I suggest using yodayo. The "Animagine XL" model does rather pretty faces and works wonders with the "starry sky" prompt. The site requires an account but you can use it for free.

I don't care and I don't think anyone who takes umbrage with the word "races" is someone you should be trying to appeal to.

The ones who complain the loudest about AI art are the reason it's popular in the first place. There are artists out there who charge upwards of 800 bucks for a piece of cover art. And those are the ones who sound most upset about people choosing free AI art instead. AI art has a very...

You assume my story isn't already the Bad End of another story I never published, which is very bold of you.

Stephen King's works are commonly criticized for their endings so I would argue that Stephen King's work is the best example for why Stephen King's method doesn't really work. Now, if you have a great situation and good characters thought out in your head then yes, you should absolutely start...

Text post all the way. Although I will say that if you're doing any kind of GameLit then you should consider pdf files instead because Patreon's text editor sucks for anything more complicated than plain text.

tl;dr: Yes, a self-published ebook is more than enough. Self-publishing is the future. Let's look at what a publisher can provide you as an author: 1) Promoting your novel for you 2) Selling your novel for you 3) Proof-reading and editing your novel for you. 4) Advance Payments. The way it...

You're chucking your chapters out too fast, for one thing. You can get away with daily releases but anything beyond that you're pretty much asking to fade into background noise. Then, most importantly, nice clinical one-word chapter titles are great - for finished novels on Amazon. On SH...

I prefer the second one. On the first it seems like the dragon is crowding out the text. Especially your author name looks like it's partially hidden underneath. Unless, of course, the dragon crowding out the text was the intended effect. In that case pick the first.

I correct punctuation, spelling and weird phrasing all the time. But content I really only edit when I get comments saying that something is a little obtuse.

I've used fanfiction.net some fifteen years ago and the issue is that, as far as I can tell, there hasn't been a single improvement to the UI since then. The first thing I noticed when using Scribble Hub was how shockingly good the UI is in comparison. They're worlds apart. But then again...

I think it could work. If you read interviews with Hidetaka Miyazaki you quickly find out that 'difficulty' and 'obtuse storytelling' aren't really what these games are about. They're elements these games have but not elements they're based on. These games are, first and foremost, about the joy...

I'm a simple guy. I describe them exactly the same as in Age of Mythology. Furry legs with hooves, human upper body and a humanoid but slightly bestial head with a single big eye. And as they only have one eye their depth perception is absolutely terrible.

People will always fight over definitions. But so long as the women don't get with men other than the harem protagonist I think you'll find most people agreeing that your story is indeed a harem story. As to how you add a girl, I suppose that depends on what kind of harem you're running. If...

"Okay" dates back to World War II. "OK" is short for "Oberkommandant", the title of a high-ranking German officer, which was why those two letters were found at the end of basically every military document, right before the officer's signature. They were "giving their OK to the orders". Allied...

"No such thing as bad publicity" If the angry twitter mob even notices you then it will just lead to people reading your story out of spite or curiosity. Just delete the angry comments and you've kickstarted your own fame.
