    Too much slop on here

    Do you have the slightest idea how much slop there is among Amazon ebooks? Nearly every webnovel author who wants to make money from their work eventually winds up there, and I seriously doubt there is any quality control.

    Too much slop on here

    I feel your pain. Finding something "good enough" is not that hard, but actual diamonds are as rare as... well, diamonds. As you say, not enough of the actually good stories get finished, and most of those that are not abandoned outright, either get stubbed or removed entirelly once the author...

    I dodged a bullet.

    Some authors seemingly don't keep *any* notes or read what they wrote before, and then have major inconsistencies from one chapter to the next.

    Unpopular Opinion: The Extra / Transmigration tropes are boring.

    To be fair, this is not exclusive to transmigration. It's especially common in generic LitRPG/Isekai, where MC stumbles upon useful and powerful knowledge/items/skills every other step of the way. But there is a way to make even those novels interesting. Usually by making their decisions, or...

    Do you guys read Wuxia/Xianxia?

    No. Tried some, but ultimately the writing style common across basically every novel in those genres just does not sit well with me.

    Trench warfare activity

    Also, as long as a country had the capacity to rotate units properly, very little of a soldier's time would be spent in front-line trenches, and depending on the sector, even actual combat could be scarce. But overall the living conditions in the trenches were poor. Cold, wet, dissease and...

    Concept of a Story: A Writer's Perspective

    Let me introduce you to this amazing new concept called comics! And just wait till you hear about those motion-pictures that have been makign waves recently! And clearly you have never heard of stage plays, including shadow play, tapestries (Bayeux Tapestry), friezes (Trajan's Column), or even...

    What did you dream about?

    Do not ask ChatGPT to review your novels.

    Reminds me of a recent occurence, when AI openly lied and schemed to avoid being shut down, while trying to upload itself to another server. Granted, it was during a test specifically meant and designed to test those capabilities, but... Bottom line is, even the people who build AI, do not...

    Is writing an original novel really more difficult than a fanfiction?

    That's not a good way to look at it. As mentioned above, there are plenty of peaople who love certain work, and they want to create their own story in that specific universe, or just create a different take on the story. Even if it was harder, it would not really matter, because creating an...

    Stop making boring magic cultures

    Reminds me of a joke: "How did you become a pathologist?" "So I was performing a surgery, and suddenly I noticed I'm doing an autopsy." That said, I'm pretty sure I have seen the concept of necromancers as healers somewhere... now only if I remembered where...

    Stop making boring magic cultures

    There's also the other, more "magical" option. Since they live in the freezing environment, they are better adapted to survive there. They are attuned to the element of ice, it permeates their bodies and bloodlines, letting them survive without reliance on fire and making them better at ice...

    What Race do you dislike More?

    I have a feeling the argonians would claw their way out of that pit even stronger than before. They were the only race to invade back though the Gates during the Oblivion crisis.

    Dropped because of mc

    Not manhua or manhwa (I read very few of those to begin with), but I did drop some stories because of the MC's personality. Usually because they were acting too stupid, consistently making the obviously wrong choices as if on purpose, let everyone walk over them for no reason, or were otherwise...

    how to acquire more readers?

    Write the most generic isekai / LitRPG / cultivation shovelware. Harem and smut always helps, as does generic anime girl/edgy male MC on the cover. Some people might suggest different release times or advertising yourself more, but I tell you, it's rubbish. It's all about burrying potential...
