    Need opinions on my cover art.

    You want a ratio of 2:3 tall for covers. Also, the characters' outlines are hard to see because they are blended in with the background. Ideally, there should be a title as well.

    It is. Not my artwork, but I love it.

    How fast can you read?

    600 for me is the sweet spot. Could catch around 80% at 900. It's pretty interesting.

    Looking for feedback on half finished cover

    Except when you take a look at those works, you'd notice that the first one is yellow and cyan, while the latter ones lean more toward purple than blue. That said, yellow and blue can certainly work well. It's just that if the OP wants their character to stand out, those colors would need to...

    Looking for feedback on half finished cover

    The composition is fine, though the color choices make it look somewhat glaring. Considering that this is a book cover, it should be fine once you fix the background. Desaturate the blue or change it to something else.

    Looking for feedback on half finished cover

    I'd try to change that flat blue background first, then probably make the text more easily readable.

    Physical drawings V/S Digital drawings

    I'd recommend sticking to physical if you don't have a stylus, unless you want to master mouse drawing, which sounds terrible. If you want to pursue the digital route, however, I'd recommend getting Clip Studio Paint. It's the premier drawing software alongside Photoshop, as far as I'm aware...

    New Cover!

    I see that the environment is drawn quite decently, but the artist overdid the smoke/mist on the ground. I'd probably smooth out the strokes and lower the layer opacity for a better read of the picture.

    Can another author explain to me why so many stories don't use paragraphs?

    Never said it was the mobile thing, though.

    Can another author explain to me why so many stories don't use paragraphs?

    Not the case for me. I find it straining to continuously trace the correct lines to read in a wall of text. Often, I'd be distracted for a brief moment and lose track of where I am seeing.

    Can another author explain to me why so many stories don't use paragraphs?

    Because there are people like me who can't read a long paragraph without feeling sore in my eyes.

    What are some general tips on how to write good original fiction?

    I don't look into the view counts, so I can't say what it is that gets a story there, but the 2000 reader mark is a hard cap. Try to observe the trending page for a week, and you'll see that none of the stories on there have over 2000 readers. Again, I'm not trying to explain the trending rules...

    What are some general tips on how to write good original fiction?

    Been saying this like three times now, but the trending on this site is weird. Once you're on it once and you keep going, you'll continue to appear on there a lot until you get past 2000 readers, after which you'll never be in the top 9 anymore. I know the 2000 mark because I have four stories...

    I bought Mr. Beast’s candy bars.

    Just don't buy them again. Milk chocolates and white chocolates are so unhealthy anyway.

    My story sucks? Or nobody reads it even though I've written over 128 chaps?

    If you read a lot of web novels, you'd kind of realize that most people don't look for the 'best' story available—they read what they like. In this case, even though I haven't read your work, I'd say it's because readers on SH largely enjoy other genres. There are a lot more factors contributing...

    Recommendations Non-Futa Female Protagonist w/ Futa characters

    From the same author: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/how-to-live-as-a-health-teacher-at-a-fanari-academy/ https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-alchemists-back-is-hurting-again-today/ I can't attest to their quality, however.

    Recommendations Non-Futa Female Protagonist w/ Futa characters

    Those are quite rare nowadays tbh. I'm not sure about SH, but I only found two that match what you want on Novel Updates.

    How do you get book covers for your book

    Only now can I say this, but I draw them.

    Is it better to have no cover art or AI cover art?

    Learning how to draw and design a crappy but personal and presentable cover is definitely easier than finding the right prompts to make a good AI image, trust me.

    Terraria players, I need your help!

    QoL mods are a must, but if you want to enjoy lots of content, I'd recommend fusing Calamity and Thorium. There's an add-on balancing those two. I'd personally go for more calamity add-ons on top just for extra content, too. Hunt of the Old God is one, and Wrath of the Gods is absolutely...
