    Any people who learned English as a second language here?

    Doesn't really go against my point though? Unless those works are "low quality writing"... But who knows, maybe the bubble of what we read is also too different.

    I can't rule the world. Hence I have no knowledge of the game. So I've won the game... but lost the world.

    Any people who learned English as a second language here?

    It's a thing you have with every language. People who learn a different language start with the high-level rules and follow them. People who speak their mother tongue often shorten sentences or use constructs that "everyone will also understand". It gets rather comical when you compare "rude...

    World building feedback - Sci-fi Faction report (Evil, dark, corruption)

    That style is cool and probably one of the things you could use in actual writing. Start with a "blank table" and always add the thing that started to appear in some interlude-chapter with a short text to it. So yeah, it had more flair to it than the usual infodump which also makes it a bit...

    World building feedback - Sci-fi Faction report (Evil, dark, corruption)

    Wouldn't be too hard to have the same thing in SH... The style is cool, but it's also a massive infodump. I don't think it's something I would want to see as a reader as part of the "main-chapters". That said, the level of detail should give you a lot of more grounded ideas when it comes to the...

    Smut with Plot or Plot with Smut?

    If you write smut, then the smut should be in your focus. You can't really do a good plot if every other chapter needs to be a sex-scene. It's the reason most stories go something along the line of "I'm already OP and just have fun" or "I get stronger through sex". So if you write smut, it would...

    Power scaling and how to properly show it.

    A lot of CN-novels are fast food novels without deeper thought. Hence, there is no real reason for stuff other than "we have to repeat the same arc with more powerful enemies". There are novels who can display actual strength levels through good fighting scenes, but honestly, most of them are...

    My next goal

    - First endless hiatus - First dead story - First silently deleated story - First writer's depression ... That said, good luck with trending. When the story becomes longer and you are active with your chapters, it often takes only one or two active new readers who comment a lot to push you up...

    what will your reaction be?

    I mutter "This fucking neighborhood is getting worse by the minute." under my breath and go back to doing actual useful stuff with my life.

    How to celebrate with readers?

    If you want your readers to be happy, just throw out a mass release of chapters :D Otherwise you can do stuff like AMAs, illustrations, themed non-canon chapters, or the like. But honestly... probably 90% of the readers would love a handful more chapters the most. That's why they read your...

    Helping fellow authors

    That's a cool idea =) It would be interesting to track whether your exposure actually translates to new readers. A lot of anecdotes seem to show that generally readers don't start new stories based on links even from the same author...

    Battle Academy Anime

    Battle academy isn't really going anywhere. In fact, we'll get the second seaon of Misfit (2.1 and 2.2), Winter 2022 has Mahouka, Spring 2022 has Mahoutsukai Reimeiki, and we get multiple "Isekai Battle Academy" as well. There are also some greenlit for production with no further information for...

    what is the difference between edgy and just plain dark.

    I don't think it doesn't really matter as long as it is done right. But if you use "edgy" in the negative way, then for me it is something like this: Most stories I perceive as edgy are often those, where the world is only there to make the MC look cool. Like there is no reason behind the state...

    Tags (a message to our overlord, Tony)

    Before we add more and more tags, I would honestly prefer a standardized definition and description of the tags on the main page. Either on the ranking page of the tag or better as mouseover for the actual tags listing. There are probably a thousand bigger and smaller tags that can be added...
