Reminds me of that couple that were found having sex in a public railway station. Got multiple complaints. One because they didn't wear their masks properly... :blob_thor:

I bought PWA during its first NaNoWriMo in a sale for around 90€ or so. Love it and it's the only tool I use. Good enough for a "quick and dirty" edit to get most of the errors away. Also as a non-native english writer I appreciate the stats for overused words, adverb-count, and the like. It...

Still waiting for the live-action adaptation :(

authors now - how do I get the right comments? *ftfy*

There are multiple sources for different things, but I would guess it's copied from JP webnovel-translations. Japanese is a bit different in that it doesn't have a question mark and doesn't need as many tags, because it's easier to identify the speaker through choice of words/Keigo or just by...

I mean most users will barely notice the review-tab on SH. Especially with how few reviews there are. So most new readers will probably only see it as a "bad rating" in your overall rating, but not the "rant" that goes with it... I mean my post was just meant in general. I just dislike the idea...

I more or less agree with you, but I would still argue that any feedback has its constructive core. Reviews and comments are mostly from readers for readers, but they still display what they take from your novel. So it's less about "constructive feedback or not" but "what do you take from it?"...

And I thought everyone knew that you start by punching a tree with your bare fist...

No.

I can't wait for the reaction when catgirls finally exist but they all look like this:

I mean there is an even easier reason than "history this" or "history that" (not like dungeons, magic, or catgirls are commong throughout history): the readers knowledge. It's easier to write a fight with a sword, because most readers will have seen it in movies/anime/etc. Therefore the readers...

I doubt all authors will block all new readers directly so there won't be that big of an impact. Ratings and reviews can't be deleted by the author, while it was always possible to delete comments one by one. So the only thing that changes is the need to delete them one by one...

Most people will skim through anyway... no matter how many words you write.

So is that a pro or contra argument? :blobtaco:

One interesting question would be: Did you give your readers something to talk about? Did your chapter just burble along or did something change? For most stories, one chapter equals one scene. And a scene is defined through the change of values. So did you make that change both obvious and...

In all honesty: then stop. You'll be happier in the long-term. To publish a book on the side (especially through the traditional publishing) will be a massive grind of self-improvement and failed stories. It'll break you if you won't find any fun in the creation process itself. There is a true...

Also most authors don't remind them either. I followed advice and started to "beg for likes, ratings, etc" and my stats when up with that. It's sad and makes one feel dirty, but there is a reason most youtube videos end with "like and subscribe"... Also I would generally agree with the thread...

Please be assured that everything I write isn't against you as a person, but the entire thread just feels like a screaming child throwing a tantrum. You fear about traditional publishing, but you don't even have a finished manuscript. You worry about money and your audience, but you aren't...

*looks at it* Present tense penalizing score *walks away*

Maybe you have been in the upper parts of the trending list? Or you just hit a timezone where your chapter was longer on the front-page than usual. It happens. The easy answer: don't care for individual ratings (I know, it's hard). But you already get multiple nice comments in each chapter...
