    When the new chapters start getting less and less hearts, and the anxiety starts to rise :sweat_smile: and you start to wonder if you're doing something wrong :sweating_profusely: What's the secret ingredient to the Krabby Patty formula? :blob_shock:

    Fox girls, cat girls, dog girls, or wolf girls?

    Dang, maybe I should have written my story based on a fox girl instead of a cat girl :ROFLMAO:

    Not posting is too hard :(

    Hold onto that backlog for now, posting daily isn't worth it. Take it from a girl who's struggling to raise her reader count and views, I posted a new chapter 5 days a week and it helped but not that much :/ Definitely work on that backlog so that you can afford a day off on a rainy day, and...

    how to reach more people to read my novel

    I can support this, it's rough out there. I moved to this website in the hopes that my story would be better received. It's been very slow, the views are there but in comparison to other stories that started when I did, I'm at the far back end of the line thus far. People say to write what you...

    how to reach more people to read my novel

    I tried this, it doesn't always work :ROFLMAO: or at least it works to a short extent

    That feeling when you accidentaly delete a 4k word chapter and realize you didnt save it elsewhere

    It happens. My best advice is to save your drafts often. I pause for small breaks when writing from time to time, and I've had a few times when my chapter draft gets list. Computer restarts, maybe the website isn't responding, or the servers aren't working. Basically, save save save your...

    Are character explorations into their flaws/insecurities well received?

    In a way, yes. At least for me, I don't introduce flaws, I introduce the character. Any flaws (in theory and if written well) should be natural to the character depending on their personality, background, or actions. For example, a confident, charismatic, and talented hero can have the flaws...

    Are character explorations into their flaws/insecurities well received?

    How would you recommend it to be foreshadowed? I don't plan on this chapter showing the character in question to completely break down for example. But it shows the flaws in her character in a noticeable manner, small things go wrong and she puts on a facade, confident that things will go...

    How do you feel about character-driven stories compared to plot-driven stories?

    This gives me hope :blob_aww: Well, if it helps any, both my characters are clueless and know very little about the world around them :ROFLMAO:

    Are character explorations into their flaws/insecurities well received?

    I'm at a point in my story where I am beginning to dive into my characters' flaws and insecurities, but I wanted to ask if that is a common thing among novels here on Scribblehub. Is it usually received well, or is it controversial or not interesting to see? I'm nearing the end of Act 1 and the...

    Are you happy?

    Not as happy as people say I should be :/ progress isn't going the way I would like. Favorites aren't as high, views are a bit slow, and the Reader count is okay-ish. But when I look at other stories around my chapter count or that were published recently, they have more favorites, readers, or...

    How do you feel about character-driven stories compared to plot-driven stories?

    Ooo definitely! How do you feel about character-driven stories? Shoot, that's how I should have titled this post now that I think about it

    Rejected from Royal Road for a "sexual cover," now posting on Scribble Hub

    For reals, like I just wanted to entertain ? some criticism can be fair but no need to be so rude about it, sheesh!

    How do you feel about character-driven stories compared to plot-driven stories?

    Hmm, sort of like a D&D approach where anything can happen to the characters as they explore the world around them.

    How do you feel about character-driven stories compared to plot-driven stories?

    Like, novels that don't necessarily follow a plot from beginning to end, instead it focuses on the characters and their journey as they encounter new obstacles and personal goals? My novel is a lot like that :blob_evil_two: where the main plot is based on the relationship between the two MC's...

    Hey now, I said it was hard for me to put into words how to write an action scene :blob_nom: Here you go! https://www.scribblehub.com/read/889531-monster-girl-chronicles-book--kulikuli-the-nekomata/chapter/968063/

    Best Fighting Scenes

    That can be dramatic too, like the famous Deathnote bit: "I'll take this potato chip, and EAT IT!" That being said, it is also important to ask if fight scenes are necessary for your work/story. A lot of good stories out there don't use or need fight scenes to be hype. If you would like an...

    Best Fighting Scenes

    I do speak from experience here :blob_popcorn: i love me some anime and martial arts fight scenes. Buuuut it doesn't translate as well on writing. Trust me, I've tried! :blobrofl: Love the fight, but good luck trying to write it down as a chapter. Very difficult (but not impossible) to write...

    Rejected from Royal Road for a "sexual cover," now posting on Scribble Hub

    Ah! I've tried Royal Road before with some of my work. The comments were not kind to me :sweating_profusely: :sweating_profusely: :sweating_profusely: :sweating_profusely:

    Best Fighting Scenes

    I would recommend turning away from a visual medium, such as animes or hollywood fights. Writing a fight scene is different from watching one unfold, you can see more happen at a faster pace through a visual medium. I don't have any recommendations that come to mind for fighting scenes in...
