    Why do you guys have 'Shota' and 'Loli' tags when it's against content guidelines?

    Just because there is ecchi or harem in a story doesn't mean there is sexual content done with a minor. There even is a harem trope where such characters are seen more as daughters compared to potential partners. With familial love instead of sexual attraction. And again: if you find a specific...

    Why do you guys have 'Shota' and 'Loli' tags when it's against content guidelines?

    I mean, sexual content needs to be 18+. Loli and shota can easily exist outside of sexual content, so it clearly isn't against content guidelines. So not even using the "1000 year old loli" discussion, your argument is clearly wrong. That said, there is also a lot of niche content, whether...

    LoliGen: Age gap, loli, and even shota stories

    It is a really hard point to go with this. Because what you actually say is "But what about the possible criminal?". There is an obvious stigma to it due to the clear link to wrong sexual behaviour. But we still have similar stigmata about all kind of things, ranging from "simple depression" to...

    LoliGen: Age gap, loli, and even shota stories

    I mean the point with this is: we already had that point with a bestseller and a Kubrick movie based on it. Followed by a lot of sideplots to movies with that same theme. The masses already had that discussion and decided, that loving an underaged child in whatever capacity is "fucking...

    How do I make #21 on trending but get LESS views?

    There are two points to that. (1) Trending uses a lot of metrics for your and other novels, so you won't be able to reproduce your placement just by posting another chapter. And as many said "#21 on trending" is like every other day. So your question more or less is just "I had one day during...

    Implemented Notification Bell.

    Personally I don't even think it's just about being lazy but more about people being educated that way. Same with people doing those 10 seconds "in the future" segments at the beginning of a youtube video. Started with hollywood trailers for their ads, now half the reaction or funny channels...

    Editing Sale!

    Just as an aside: Are there any works you have done to show the quality? Or is there any kind of editing you do/won't do. There is a wide range of editing from simply finding grammar errors, over line editing, the flow in paragraphs, or even emulating a certain voice/atmosphere in the writing...

    Looking for Things to Review

    You should probably do an extra "This is who I am and what I do"-video and use it as a channel intro. The majority of people probably won't look at a 20 minutes first chapter review to get these informations...

    Implemented Notification Bell.

    Although you could say the same thing about "1k books on a reading list" here. It can also be a hassle to go through sorted lists, if you don't check them daily. Especially, it is also a difference between "checking each day and getting disappointed" and "getting a notification if there is a...

    Crafting A Contained Story

    If you look at the core of a story from start to beginning, you'll most likely find a single idea there. Going from that idea, you'll often find some kind of ending you want to work towards. Try to list everything that has to happen between now and the end of your novel. It doesn't need to be...

    I got reminded that I'm not forever

    "The impacts are getting closer..." You'll get that feeling a lot when you get older and the dead celebrities get closer to your age or even younger. That's how life is. I personally had problems with sleeping for some time because I had the fear of just not waking up anymore. What I learned...

    How to address different skin tones when writting

    Honestly - You can't win. There will always be someone who is offended, no matter the lengths you go. RWBY copied the animal girls slave trope from anime and it became a topic because PoC in America were called animals. No regards towards why it was there or how japanese tropes developed, just...

    i just started writing a webnovel any feedback will help

    Some thoughts: - In your blurb, there is one core idea mentioned, but nothing about the story itself. It's like a three sentence description of the setting without any mention of the story. - There are a lot of grammar mistakes even in your first sentence. While it isn't a "no-go", it sure is...

    Writing How Many Side Characters?

    Each (named) side character should mirror a certain part of your MC's journey and either have a direct effect on the MC or show how it might have gone different. So "how many side characters" really depends on the story you want to tell. You can also differentiate between side characters who...

    Writing Leave the Chapters as Cliffhangers or no?

    For webnovels cliffhangers are important to keep your reader retention high. It's also possible to get this through good characters or an interesting story in itself, but the easiest way - especially in the beginning - are cliffhangers. The important thing though: good cliffhangers. So you have...

    What do you really want to become?

    I want to become an adult who can die with a smile on his face... :blob_neutral: Though for the last year, my dream was always about telling stories: whether it was through music, games, or writing. Writing has the lowest entry barrier, games probably the highest chance to actually make a...

    How much of a wordsmith are you

    THIS ONE! =) --------------------- In all honesty: 50% of readers don't want to read the reasoning behind your time machine. And the other 49.9% just don't know how boring an actual explanation would be. The reasoning behind time travel is pages full of math with symbols most readers (and...
