How about a pigeon nest?

Um, pal... Is your keyboard okay? Your 'caps lock' seems to be broken. And to answer your question... There isn't a perfect time. Although, once you pick one, it is probably for best to stick with one. People are creatures of habit. If they don't find your story when they expect to they will...

From reading the comments further, I have come to the conclusion people underestimate how much being 'Hot' matters. Granted, I am not sure from which PoV the OP would create such a story, but back when I was in my teens... Yes. I, and most everyone I knew would have at least enjoyed the idea of...

What do you mean by what happened? I don't recall things being any different in the past. Granted I am in my thirties and maybe you are talking about a time before I was born.

While I hardly think it is ethical, there isn't a problem in writing a story like this. Well, at least in my opinion. There are plenty of romance stories which are extremely ethically dubious and would not work in reality. And that is the thing. It is a story. You can explore things that are not...

The following are simple ramblings of a novice writer. While I can't comment on whether or not it impacts the view count, a chapter name is helpful for a reader to have a reference on which chapter is which. If they want to go back to a certain event, it is much simpler for them to do so. As a...

Ah! I still remember the first time it happened. Back when I was eleven, my family got me two first Harry Potter books for Christmas. I leafed through the first few pages and got hooked. I didn't sleep that night and read the first book wholly. It was the same for the following books. Too bad...

Honestly... I don't think it ever did. Not to say my work is doing badly. On the contrary - it is doing fairly well by all metrics, but the reader count. My work landed a Trending spot once when I started writing it. It gave me around 80 'Plan To Read' readers. That number hasn't really changed...

Oh, this definitely helps. There is this really popular writer who I think is shit. I read his stories and decided I could and would do better. Well, that is not why I stick to it. I just like writing. I have been doing 2k words per day for the past six months (mostly, I missed a week or two)...

The internet has been the greatest teacher when it comes to English. Be it novels, manga, forums, videos, or games. They all helped to form my vocabulary and the way I speak. For a good chunk of my life, it was my third language. I always liked reading, and writing something I could call my own...

For me, it is the discoverability. The Tag system is miles ahead of RR. That, and SH is more welcoming towards GL stories.

Don't call me out like that. But yes. It would be nice if there was an option for your view to not count towards the total.

... sigh... I'll also add my story to the suggestions... It's not exactly what is asked for, but it does have a few instances of MC fighting together with the love interest. The most notable example would be the concluding events of the first large arc, which is more than 50 chapters in. It...

Huh... I clicked out of interest and... There are less than I thought there would be. I was under the impression that SH readers and writers are wilder than that.

I did something similar. I wrote and put out a chapter every day for a couple of months. The first 'book' ended in chapter 65. It's hard to say how many readers my story retained. Judging by the clicks from chapter 1 to 65 it's one in ten. If we go by favourites, it's one in six. And no reviews...

Genre? I don't see a problem with most of them. I suppose LitRPG would be tough for me to write as I dislike number crunching. Tropes? Oh, boy! Do I have some of those... You write a BL/GL story, and magically everyone of the same genre falls in love with MC? Yeah, no, thanks. Cat/Rabit/Succubus...

Just as(s)-king hehehe Ignore me. I had nothing to add. My juvenile sense of humour just reared its ugly head, and I didn't manage to hold it back.

Oh, wow! Thank you for the nice breakdown. For me, this was a feel-good moment. For others, perhaps less so. I hope people take this information and use it to gain confidence or the drive to push forward. Cheers, What-Am-I-Doing-Here Enkiari

Yeah, I'll be honest. I have no idea what your story is about. So... I'll just not pick for now.

You don't notice it on RR, as there is no tag for it. There is still a lot. If the MC is female, there is a good chance the story has GL elements in it.
