"Have you heard of web novel" is like asking "Have you heard of Mc Donalds". Nearly everyone knows it which is why most don't speak about it anymore. A lot of the people who care think it's shit as the working environment is bad and the product is subpar. But the majority will still quietly use...

You should do what propels your story toward its destination. New characters or factions can help for a short time once or twice, but in the long run, it'll always come back to the overall story you tell. New characters can be great because they mark a clear development. Like a "Let's go!"...

There you go :D But could you stop publishing so fast? I still had no time to read volume 1 and you are already at volume 3... -.-'' xD

But the doujinshi scene is thriving because the companies allow for it. The creation and selling of it is still illegal by law. If any company decided to have a certain work taken down, that'll happen. There are cases where that happened. But the manga/doujin-subculture as a whole decided that...

I think about it again and realize, that 99% of "good stories" wouldn't be "good video game stories". In fact most stories would translate to a horrible mess of endless cutscenes, player characters that annoy the player, and often completely disjointed gameplay. There is a reason why most video...

Though in that case it really is the user's fault. She sold merchandise with images of the actual licensed Pokemon on it and it came to light because she wanted to trademark her username Pokeprincxss to give herself "Pokemon-related rights". Which was both copyright and trademark infringement...

Less spam...

According to the law it's illegal. But due to the fact that most of these products are aimed at fictions owned by major publishers, they are "allowed for now" as they help to grow the fandom of the story. Same with e.g. your typical Let's Plays on youtube. Those aren't legal, but most...

I mean switching to RR's system won't change anything. While the "detailed stars" are only usable with a review, the overall rating can get its 0.5 to 5 stars without any review at all. So the only reason to write a review would be to give stars for Style, Story, Grammar, and Character. But the...

Like everything else, tone is key. If someone just goes "I hate this, dropped, FU!". Yeah, that helps nobody. But I also had multiple people dropping stuff who wrote a rather long review in the comments saying why they dropped it (mostly different expectations) and those can be really...

Are you guys sure that you aren't trying to build a new publishing/writing site instead of a writing tool? Like more or less all questions have nothing to do with a tool or are outright impossible to realize. I mean, I'm on the sideline anyway because I already have my standard setup that I...

Which will never happen as many authors will bitch about it and leave the site. The rules already forbid such behaviour but nobody will enforce it. Without plaintiff there's no punishment... In the end (or at least until SH becomes big enough), this'll just stay a question about morals.

Then use it. Nobody will throw 1 stars at you for it and most people will probably not even realize it. But going by your text you try to bring in "Fair Use" as argumentation, which already answers the central point. Fair Use isn't a right. Fair Use is a defense in court. It's where you say...

I mean... if you go with "What if the opposite" then say goodbye to that beautiful girlfriend of yours. Because all those jade-like beauties will turn into weathered rock ugly women :D But honestly: without arrogant young masters you wouldn't have face-slapping. And I know a lot of stories...

In all honesty, I also had that feeling why editing, but couldn't really put my finger on the problems. In fact, the later parts of this volume are going back to being lonely and slowly getting out of that shell or rather picking the way that protects (and connects) with other people. But...

I personally dislike it and I would never do it. Simple reasoning: I imagine how it would be if others copied my story to an unknown site and use it to get some following or patrons. Would I like that? No. So for me, I end it with "Don't do unto others, what..." But it's the same with a lot of...

People are getting so nice all the sudden: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/122239/the-lone-macaw/ (now I feel kinda pressured in jumping on the train and reading other stuff, too xD)

You can also up that with mind/system-controlled triggers. So you would never know when the bullet comes. With that a battle between high-ranking shooters becomes your classical Iaido battle where both try to avoid the others line of fire while keeping the upper hand, before one bullet will end...

The thing I picked while planning my SciFi-LitRPG was the classic "concentrate on the shooter". A bullet might be too fast for low-levels, but the finger pulling the trigger isn't. With enouhg reaction/concentration and your system stuff, you can easily go the way of "knowing the flightpath of...

You would probably survive by "cutting to black early" and just hinting at it. But yeah, explicit stuff like Game of Thrones would be problematic...
