Also a SMN main and have been since 2.2. I honestly love the changes they made and, while I don't know about how it's faring as far as the "meta" goes, I'm not having any problem out-DPSing pretty much every class both against group and solo targets. It did take me some getting used to since I...

I know = P. That was why I spent three paragraphs talking about what I thought was pleasant versus not pleasant. I was simply prefacing that by saying even if I have my own opinions on what makes something pleasant or not, I still see all fiction as equal by default.

I'm of the opinion that, when it comes to creative works like this, there is no "good" nor "bad." Every single story is equal, whether it was written by somebody who has never seen a book before in their life or Tolkien himself (and I'm a Tolkien fanboy). The only thing that could ever even...

If feedback is going to be prompted (or forced, which isn't being suggested, but generally goes hand-in-hand with these opinions) when the rating is low, then it needs to be treated the exact same way when the rating is high as well. Then everybody gets fewer ratings, and that includes the high...

Yeah, that's definitely a valid concern. I'm personally of the opinion that there is no such thing as a "bad" story since everything is good to somebody, but from a more objective and business point of view, there certainly are stories that can push people away. Even with RR's size, I see people...

To be fair, there are numerous examples of people with slower posting schedules than this with good popularity and success. In fact, most of the highest-earning, English-original web serials only update once to twice a month. Tefler makes six figures via Patreon while only posting once to twice...

I think that the favoriting-chapter system has the potential to be useful. My problem with it is just that it is really, really underused. There is a very small sample size when compared to how many readers a story might have. Attracting more authors and attracting more readers goes...

Trending based off of growth, without just ripping off RR, would be best done with followers in my opinion. It would require some mathing which I am extremely horrible at, but something like Story A going from 50 to 100 followers in a week would be more trending than Story B which goes from 25...

Alright, so after catching up on some of the recent conversations regarding trending, I figured I’d try to give an actual suggestion myself. But first, let me make this clear: I am biased. I am going to try my best to be as objective as possible here, but it is very obvious that I am biased and...

It definitely does, but maybe not for everybody. I was doing daily releases for almost a year before finally switching over to weekly releases, and I (and quite a few of my readers) believe that there was a large improvement in quality, pacing, and satisfaction from having larger, weekly...

Spicy. Just read up on that thread. Anyways, you could say that stories that are releasing short, frequent chapters are technically taking advantage of the system, but I don't think that there is anything wrong with that. It's just straight up fact that short, frequent releases is the best way...

Lots of money and stalking social media to find artists I like. I follow about 11k artists between Pixiv and Twitter, and then there are all the weeb subreddits I follow (which is what I found the artist for two of my stories through - somebody posting their art to a subreddit). Most of the...

Amazon's Kindle service and Kindle Unlimited are massive. It's the biggest distributor of books afaik, or at least of ebooks. It's estimated there are at least 3 million active subscribers of Kindle Unlimited alone. Then there are way, way more who use Amazon for all their ebook needs without...

There are numerous weeb authors making full-time livings through Amazon and Kindle Unlimited in particular. Honestly, with self-publishing and how utterly massive Amazon is, it doesn't matter if you write in a light novel format and use Japanese/Chinese themes or not. Sure, the chances are low...

Pretty much every other option is better than a WebNovel contract as far as I know. If you're successful enough to get offered a contract, you're successful enough to self-publish to Amazon (especially via Kindle Unlimited) and you would most likely make much more this way. Anyways, as for my...

I'm personally against sharing ideas. 1. Because they might get stolen. 2. I read this in Stephen King's On Writing but can't find the exact quote for the life of me. Anyways, the passage basically came down to how, no matter how little you might talk about your story, you get a dopamine hit...

I've been enjoying it. It might be published by EA, but I love Respawn and Titan Fall, so I couldn't resist giving in and trying it out. Respawn is too good for EA.

I'm copying all my tables from Royal Road over to here without any problems. All I have to do is fix the text color (as easy as highlighting the entire table and then applying white font), and add a 1 value to the table border. It takes like, 3 seconds per table.
