You've gotta factor in time the novel has been out as well. A series that just dropped with several chapters being pushed at once is going to clock in greatly under this estimate, and a series that has reached completion or been discontinued will often continue to get views so long as it's still...

Pretty much stole the words from my mouth, except replace "brainy" with "world wise." I'd rather write a character who can think on their feet and navigate all the political and social pit-falls over someone who can solve a complex math equation. Conversely, I have a very hard time writing the...

That's the thing about Vampire lore. Thanks to Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, Christian themes are inextricably linked to Vampire lore. I think Japanese writers have gone the farthest with unlinking the two, and even then you often see the echoes of Christian aspects and/or themes still...

Yeah, I wasn't really referring to world-building religions. Rather, I was talking about borrowing from the lore and culture, and realizing how it is that religion influences culture. In other words, you are looking at the church specifically, I'm looking at everything BUT the church. I'm...

Yeah, I'd never read a story like that. It sounds like complete trash the way you just described it. A guy just wants to go kill every god because... what? He just wants to prove he's powerful? Yeah, that's trash. If you want that plot, the MC needs a relatable motive to go on this quest to...

Yep, seems appropriate here. In terms of commissions, I have found through personal bad experience it is a lot better to use some sort of neutral arbiter service such as Fiverr if you're going to go through a commission. While Fiverr and other such sites are a bit hit-or-miss in terms of how...

Still not really seeing anything to grasp onto, or to play out your reasoning for wanting to convert it into a liteRPG. What aspect of the story specifically makes you think this is the right approach and that it would be better for your story and world-building?

Err... first impression upon reading this, you sound like your story is completely lacking in focus and you have no idea what you want to actually write. You're just throwing out a bunch of things your story is "like." I gotta say, it really does not make me want to read your story. Try to...

You would be quite surprised just how many people royally F-up the implementation end on this stuff. Also, calling out the anti-western and anti-Christian sentiment and how it's holding western writers back was not a small part of my motivation in writing this up. I'd love to see more people...

Long post alert Introduction There are several significant advantages to pulling from old lore and mythologies from the ancient world (Greek, Christian, Chinese, Japanese, and Babylonian) or the classical world (Norse, Icelandic, Slavic) to implement in your writing. The advantages are that...

I can see that. In my case, I just triggered off of seeing the payment conditions in the description, as well as the fact that this is currently still in the recent threads boosted section. So, it's an issue of visibility. I'd probably drop the recommendation on anyone who pops up in the future...

Indeed, and "Yeshua" is a name that, in modern times, has become "Joshua." It was considered a fairly common name at the time, every single bit as common as Joshua is today, and how common the name was happens to be the entire point of it.

Yeah, I got that. You do things as you like, but I'm sharing my experience as someone who has had difficulty with commissions in the past. I feel it's proper to warn other 3rd parties who may be reading this what the dangers are in the field and what things to be skeptical about. EDIT: Also...

Honestly, I've had enough bad experiences with artwork commissions that I wouldn't trust any artist who doesn't accept payment via a neutral arbiter such as what they have with Fiverr. While that site's a little bit hit-or-miss in terms of how the commissioned person will perform and behave, I...

Err... Ok. I'm seeing a large number of concepts here. Rule of thumb is that any concept can work if the implementation is done well. That said, this exact combination of concepts you're mentioning here sound like a very bad idea and will not go together well. MC being the only one with magic...

Well, "gonna be the twin-tail" does not have any sexual content in it, but it is very much played up for laughs. Not sure if you'd regard that as "respectful" exactly. However, that's most of what you tend to find with the back-and-forth gender swapping stories. In fact, I'm not aware of a...

Err... I actually have enough answers to this question that I need to narrow down your criteria a little bit. 1st question. Are you talking webnovels, or anime/manga? 2nd question. Are you talking a permanent one-way gender change, or a character that switches back and forth several times such...

Yeah, it exposes it. Gives out your paypal account information on the receipt every donor receives, including your real first and last name. Whether or not that's an issue for you, that's for each individual person to decide. In the days of insane online stalkers though, it can pose an issue for...

Nice, that's about a full book-size writing. Congrats.

I'd have to say mine are more inspired by table-top games than they are video games.
