From what I understand, governmental control over societies is somewhat powered by a self-sustaining illusion-- it's said that if 5% of a population is actively acting against the government, they lose the ability to control the society. The combination of monsters and magic would naturally...

Pretty sure 115 people signed up to actively read on your fourth day is actually really good for Scribblehub, numbers-wise. Hitting front page usually means your story has garnered a fair bit of attention, and I'd be surprised if you don't hit front page eventually at this rate.

Yeah, absolutely valid if it's not your thing! I was musing on my own thoughts on it, and I didn't mean to say your preferences were wrong, but I kind of got distracted by my tangent.

Hot take: self-insert characters fail when the character is neither 1. bland but not relatable enough to the reader (varies wildly based on the reader) or 2. different and interesting enough that the audience doesn't really realize/care that they're a self-insert-- even if they're a self-insert...

Oh, cool! I hadn't thought of cuteness in the regard of descriptive emotional catharsis. I think I tend to think of cuteness in terms of relationships/interactions.

Stakes in battle don't always have to be death for all participants to be interesting. Maybe that crystal that helps her maintain human form is super rare, and if it gets shattered, yeah, she's still alive-- but she's lost her ability to be seen as a person by most, and communicate with humans...

I think this is a good idea if you don't have chat directly talk much and they're a minor character. If you want chat to be a major recurring character, I'd say give chat at least two different personalities, a major and a minor one, which are sometimes in agreement, and sometimes not. And then...

This really depends how you define "one thing". Is it a single mundane action you can take once? Or is it a single type of action you can take repeatedly and people will never know it was you? Or can you alter the entire world once? Or can you alter the universe to act in a fundamentally...

I haven't read much all that much smut on here, but I did like: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/766245/no-gods-no-masters/ Also, shameless self-promotion...

Basically, cats perceive not looking directly at them when they don't know you well as like, the polite/non-aggressive thing to do, so they're like, "ah, finally someone with manners-- I shall introduce myself to them." Generally, it's bad to stare at smaller animals if you want to get along...

I'm not sure it's quite the sort of relying you're looking for, and only four chapters so far(publicly)-- but this is one I've been writing where the main couple forms an intense connection quickly via one lying about her identity and the other trying to take advantage of her, so it does get to...

I do wonder how much this is about the internet vs being with some of your first contacts with some types of stories? Like, I had some of my first contacts with certain types of stories on the internet, and it still felt like a very new experience to me? In my experience, when I want new...

I'm pretty sure that some people don't even look at tags or disclaimers, given that people have occasionally been like "ugh I hate X" in books where I tagged or disclaimed it-- and statistically this means there's probably other people who choose to go in blind, with the risks that involves, and...

I'm far from a marketing expert... but personally, if you make all your books free eventually anyways, I'd tell people the exact date that each book will become free-- then people might be slightly more likely to look at it as "getting to read it early" rather than an indeterminate "well, if I...

These all sound like coping mechanisms for someone with extremely low physical and/or mental energy, due to depression or whatever, who is nevertheless attempting to stay presentable? They're all about energy-efficient ways of staying clean.

Once upon a time, I was told to tell the most repetitive story that had ever been told, so I told the tale of of a time when I was told to tell the most repetitive story that had ever been told, they were like, "tell us the most repetitive story that had ever been told", so I told the tale of of...

If you wish to scare others, write your own fears.

I'd try to use system commands and see if it's hackable or there's commands I can use, and failing that, do my best to communicate with the other residents of the island, probably via writing and emphatic clawclicking. Through either of these means, I'd try to find a way to a nice non-crab body...

Assuming it's in I Was A Hero In Another World But My Dog-Girl Slave Swapped Places With Me And Now I Can’t Disobey Her rather than one of my other novels, I'm probably kinda fucked. Assuming it starts at the start of the novel, I would first spend a bit of time feeling immense guilt over...

Wow, your MC has to kill someone every day? That's some pretty rough vampire rules.
