    Have you ever been so invested in a story you cried? (twist) (rant)

    Yes. Specifically I remember the endings of two anime movies that got to me, but I know there were more stories that did, both written and on screen.

    Will the views be affected if I first posted a rough draft then refine it later???

    Speaking as a reader, advertising your story as a rough draft might turn away some people outright. Then if some people don't like the rough draft, they are less likely to check any future rewrite as well. And if you update your current series instead of posting a new one, it might rob you of...

    Awakening is a mess

    The beauty of language. "Solo Leveling" could mean only one person can level up, but it can also mean someone leveling up by himself, without a party or companions - which I think would be the more natural conclusion from this choice of words, without other knowledge about the novel. The Korean...

    Dwarven town physics...

    It could work, as long as they figured out solid air circulation. An entire sapient race evolving underground would naturally develop ways to live underground, or perish. For most of our history, humans have barely scratched the surface, and learned by mistakes, but never was there a real need...

    Looking for cheat novels that complements current world power system.

    You can try Stray Cat Strut - the MC has a sort of pseudo-system, that she can use to buy all sorts of gear and body modifications, but that does not boost her power directly. The more she progresses in that system, the more and better things she can buy.

    Reposted

    If you have just posted up the rewrite as a new series recently, it likely has not been manually approved yet, and as such did not appear on new releases. Supposedly it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days in extreme cases.

    Recommendations A small fish in a big pond

    You can try They Were All Nobles, "otome game reincarnation" comedy, written from the PoV of the reincarnated main character's sidekick childhood friend. Unfortunately it has not been updated in years... Or The Eagle's flight. There's a single chapter on Royal Road, oterwise it was moved to...

    Tell me about a "phase" in your life

    I went through the adult phase at one point. Worst mistake of my life, people just won't let go of it and are still treating me as an adult.

    Can a slow-burn romance really work without any toxic stuff?

    And why would it not work? I have read and watched plenty of good romance without toxic relationships. It was not always the main focus, and there were usually different forms of hardships to overcome, but it does work. How much of an audience you will find here, without isekai, harem and smut...

    I am completely reworking my novel

    I'm afraid this does not solve the fundamental issue of "random kid with a weird sword". I would argue it's even worse by having a random kid with a demonic sword, looking all casual on the backdrop of... burning landscape? The kid does not even look like the ususal edgy MC, just... some random...

    Who rates all the new stories 5star?

    Precisely why I never trust a story with a single 5-star rating, and nothing else. I assume it's from the author themselves, and thus worthless.

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

    AI covers are not a good thing, but a decent AI cover is better than no cover at all - it might turn some readers away, but will likely draw in more than that, and a lack of a cover does not attract any readers to begin with.

    Recommendations Looking for fantasy novels about cooks, alchemists, blacksmiths, etc.

    There is this one webnovel, "Spending My Retirement In A Game", which is literally about an old guy playing a game as a sort of unique omni-crafter class. I don't remember how much fighting there was, but the main focus should be crafting and adventure. The bad thing is, it is on Webnovel.

    Your favorite genre?

    Fantasy, though less so when mixed with isekai or worse, litRPG. Urban fantasy is right out. Beside that, sci-fi, especially space opera, historical fiction, crime and mystery/paranormal/horror. And at least when it comes to movies, I also have a soft spot for spaghetti westerns.

    What’s your take on kill systems in web novels? (i.e., any mechanism where the MC gains power directly from killing, like leveling up, etc.)

    It really depends on the execution and the setting, but as a general rule, it's bland at best. In the usual VRMMO type setting, it makes sense. It's a literal game system designed around killing things. But in a proper fantasy world, any sort of system is already a stretch. Still, being...

    VPN, incognito mode, or anything that would delete cookies/prevent the browser from keeping cookies between visits is the most likely reason.

    Linear power progression

    Xianxia and linear power progression just do not fit in the same context. It is exponential power progression, with every step expotentionally harder to achieve and expotentially more powerful than the last. Ironically, as the MC progresses, there is also expotentially more cultivators on the...
