That sucks, sorry you're going through that. Doesn't help but at the end of the day, human nature is that someome you make happy smiles, feels good, keeps reading and comes back. Maybe leaves a comment, review, or like. Someone who got upset by something or was already in a disagreeable...

It made me sad that this hasn't gotten replies. I am working on a story that focuses on a non-harem green flag x green flag relationship (or at least it's supposed to be). However, very slow-burn No sex in the first novel Set in America in 2031 (something of a dark urban fantasy), and has...

At the end of the day, human nature is that happy and content people smile, feel better, carry on and maybe express it. Upset people are loud, looking for an outlet, and want the world to be their audience. If 198 people out of 200 vote for you, but the two who vote against make a scene, their...

Hardly prominent myself, so take it with a grain of salt: but I reject arbitrary rules like "chapters should have x number of words" or anything else where the key argument boils down to "it's simply not done/this is how it's always been done". I'll read a 10,000 word chapter if it's good. I'm...

Maybe someone else said it, and no judgement, but could it be that many of the writers of harems write while horny, and are operating with more limited bandwidth? You can type with one hand, but you can't think clearly with redirected blood flow. 🤷‍♂️

I'm mentally recalibrating to process "I like monster girls but don't want to look like I'm shoehorning a fetish". It's me not you, I'm a fairly vanilla person. Not a perspective I encounter often. As an outsider to monster girl enthusiasm, what you described sounds like it could just be a...

I would find that more interesting- competence, strategy, discipline, initiative being the difference. To me, that's more compelling and relatable.

The story I'm currently working on is a dark urban fantasy set in 2031. This link should work: https://www.scribblehub.com/read/2196940-the-gestalt-archives-i--summer-/chapter/2196984/ "Hell has begun bubbling through the cracks of a declining 2031 America. Landen Rye sees the ghosts invisible...

So to clarify, when people worship the false god Himvarael, they're unwittingly fueling the powers of the "mastermind" with their faith and prayers? Prayer laundering, if you will?

Much obliged. That said, (little embarrassed) although I'm not in a lot of threads or getting a lot of feedback yet, I'm actually pretty comfortable with my prose and content- so now that I just reread that you're trying to help people who feel they need it most and aren't getting help they've...

Pure clarification request, respect your principles either way: Every chapter 100% author credited and human beta read/edited (albeit not professionals). There is an optional/skippable addendum that contains a fictional piece of legislation as worldbuilding context for the type of person who...

On the one hand, variety is the spice of life. Could be interesting. On the other hand, if I were your reader and liked what you were producing, I'd want you to keep following your instincts if it's served you well. There's a case for innovation, but also for "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

Favorite: asinine, balderdash, besmirch, bewildered, boondoggle, exacerbate, inane, indubitably, ire, pique Least Favorite: flacid, moist Underutilized: asinine, bewildered, inane, ire, pique ...and I won't be taking questions at this time

This is more roundabout work, admittedly, but what worked for me (as in made me happy with what I wrote, not achieved viral attention yet ?) was writing the relationship dynamics and events I wanted to see- that served the story I wanted- then going back to reread, solicit feedback, and edit...

Hm. This is kinda small and probably incomplete on it's own, but I'd say that when your characters think of their community and reference it... try to make each moment/memory/reference very clearly relevant to something about their character and values, what motivates them, a lesson they've...

I don't know what I think the next big thing will be, but I wish it was quality story telling, and taking time to invest in characters and their dynamics. So that I'm invested and actually care for the later payoffs. Rather than feeling like every word is run through an engine to calculate its...

That's really frustrating. I can imagine having a moment of genuine validation and hope only to find out they're a vanity publisher. Sorry you went through that. But hey, you WERE noticed. Never know what the future might bring!

My experience with the deck is only second hand through my beloved, so grain of salt, but she plays Cult of the Lamb and My Time at Sandrock on it. Has a blast

I relate to this so much. Lol

I enjoyed this. Love your characters and worldbuilding.
