Damn, I was about to shill my own novel, but you're already reading it. Whelp, uhhhhh. Actually, you're already reading most of the things I'd recommend. All the other ones are now "Amazon only" which kinda sucks. Considering NovelUpdates is our sister site at Scribblehub: Clearing an Isekai...

First: Images look great! Keep up the good work. Second: Consider checking out my thread from about two weeks ago on tips and tricks for AI generated images HERE. The reason I say this is that your negatives have 241 tokens worth of data in it, and quite a few are redundant. Your positives...

About twice a month I do a google search to see if anyone had used my work without my permission. Tbh, I wouldn't mind that much as long as they aren't doing 1 of 2 things. 1. Not linking somewhere to the original work and or patreon. 2. Selling it as an actual book. I intend to do a...

How are they supposed to piggy-back of brand recognition then???

People play a dangerous game with fanfics.

They have a point about wanting to maintain brand image, but then they also made two mario maker games...

While interesting, it is within their purview to create programs of acceptable fan content. For instance, nintendo has "content creator rules". As such, they could in theory create rules to allow the content and maintain their copyright, but instead they continue to issue take downs around the...

While I don't like when series are taken down, I also don't care for when people make money while using IP without permission. Sometimes it goes over the top though when they don't make money. When Nintendo takes down pokemon fan games that never accepted donations etc. Not sure if they were...

I'm personally not so sure that AI art will have laws around it. I think that it'll be considered (under US copywrite at least) to be transformative for most cases. Like, sure, I can't use Micky Mouse (a copywritten likeness), but I could use "Disney" style artwork. The issue right now for...

Way back in college I started reading a lot of Japanese web novels (many of which have since become super mainstream like Shield Hero, Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, and Slime. Many didn't though like Re:Monster, Goblin Kingdom). I enjoyed them quite a bit, but there was always something I disliked...

On civit, you can go to your download history. Make sure the models are in the right folders.

A friend had a pretty good one: If someone is going to kill you, you die before they arrive (causality break) by the murder weapon they would use, which is in their hand, and the police arrive seconds after they do.

Sounds like factory work. I wouldn't exactly call that glamorous. If it's like MHA or Railgun, then powering up this power to full power is terrifying. Imagine undoing protein knots in someone's body, so suddenly their body can't function and they rapidly become deceased.

The villain in me said, "you could make fruit pastes, and kill people who have fruit allergies by telling them it ISN'T kiwi." Oops lol. Will fix. :blobrofl:

The practical superpower thread by @HelloHound reminded me of an old game I'd play with college friends while we'd sit down. The S***** Superpowers game, where we just sat around and came up with less and less useful superpowers, while still having them be superhuman. Then, of course, MHA came...

I've had a few readers complain now that mine ISN'T doing that. I've tried to meticulously keep numbers and things grounded in the world (because my story is a story in a world, rather than a story that makes a world), and as a consequence I've had more than one person complain to me that the...

As an author, it always feels awkward when the word "said" is said multiple times in short succession. As a reader, I never notice it, and I'm actually jarred by random other words. I think as a native English speaker, you basically just skim the word used, and said is the easiest to ignore.

Ditto what @Hans.Trondheim said! Don't be discouraged by lack of readers. The readers will eventually come if you keep writing. Which is hard without feedback... The internet is so impossibly large that our brains can't fathom how many people our audience potentially is. If a lot of...

I think the style might be fine, I speak English as my primary language, and although it may not be perfect, hungry readers like myself will devour even the most horrendously machine translated novels. What does cause readers pause before picking up a new story are two questions. 1. Will this...

I think there exists a healthy middle ground between "Just go for it!" And "Write and edit everything before posting a Web Novel." Something like, write to about 10-15k words, and see what you think of your own writing. Edit or rewrite that, repeatedly, until you get your story to the point...
