    I need some insight.

    You should never burn bodies in the forest. You see, human bodies are very hard to burn. You need a lot of dry firewood just to dry out the water inside a human body. Even after that, there is a good chance that the burning would not be complete. Cremation is generally done at very high heat...

    Do you use scene breaks?

    Do you use scene breaks?

    Used to, not anymore. Ai-chan used to use scene breaks back when Ai-chan used to write 4k words per chapter. Ai-chan doesn't do that anymore, doing only 1k to 1.5k words per chapter, with only 1 or 2 scenes per chapter. So it's not burdening for the readers to determine where a scene ends and...

    Contracts

    Will they be putting your novel on Elon Musk's Mars rocket too? Gotta get at least that with the kind of absurd requirement imposed on you. Let's see... 1. Before anything else, you have to pay USD50. Fair enough, lots of competition charge this, since they don't actually have money and use...

    The “school beauty/goddess” trope is kind of dumb

    While in most cases, it's exaggerated, it does happen. What it is, is basically the Asian version of the top jock culture in America. Except in East Asia, there is a greater emphasis on the community. That is, if one person becomes a dominating factor, other people must fall in line too or be...

    Gaining more readers/audiences

    Traps are fantastic. But having a gendbend that makes the boy act like a girl is boring. Like, if he's going to act like a girl, then just make a girl! That being said, traps are delicious!

    Is too much worldbuilding bad ?

    There is no such thing as too much worldbuilding. It's a world, there is always something to describe about the world. The problem that you should care about is too much description. Make descriptions for things that matter, not the things that you feel like adding. For example, your character...

    Last Names/Surnames

    Pendragon. Unless you want to get completely original name. In which case, just use one of those word generators then combine the two words. Or you can make your own based on what fits his personality or deeds. For example, Drakenslay, Frostmoore, Rosewither, Spellsong

    Discord Server For ScribbleHub?

    There is no Scribblehub-approved discord community, but some people here created their own servers. After all, Tony doesn't like discord. And also discord is bad for productivity. You will probably receive some invites from some people here, though they're not official scribblehub discords.

    Tell not show

    Ai-chan absolutely agrees. Some people take 'show, don't tell' way too far. We read because we want to enjoy the act itself. If you go too far into the act of 'showing', you're burdening the reader with unnecessary details that makes reading a chore. Ai-chan has stopped reading a lot of western...

    Feasibility of adding OPDS feed?

    Import content? WTF? This is basically saying, "Oh you know that story site? Yeah, I've never visited that site, I just made it so that everything posted there are downloaded the moment it's posted. Yeah, I don't care that the author feels like nobody reads his stories." Which story website...

    Poll : which writing software(s) are you using ?

    Just get WPS Office, it's free. There is practically no difference between it and the latest Microsoft Word. It also doesn't have any formatting issues when working with docx documents. The problem with old outdated programmes is that it may not work as well with current systems.

    Poll : which writing software(s) are you using ?

    WPS Office. It's like Microsoft Office and very compatible with Microsoft Office. Unlike Libre Office, which would have formatting issues. So many formatting issues if you use it to open docx or save into docx. Libre Office's odt is fine, but other programs can't open them. Ai-chan also uses...

    Cavalry is underrated

    Ai-chan is pretty sure Ai-chan wrote about cavalry battle at some point in the past... but looking back, it seems like Ai-chan didn't post it here. The problem with cavalry battles is that most people in the modern world has never ridden a horse. So in order to avoid making mistakes that will...

    Regarding Biographies

    There is no rule against posting biographies. As long as they're not blogs, you are allowed to post them. But do understand that the audience here is not 'that kind' of people. So you might get clueless people who say, "Meh, this is boring." or "When will your grandpa get super powers?" Or maybe...

    Question about prologue\chapter 1.

    Yes, that's way too long for a prologue. The problem with long chapters is that reading becomes a chore for your readers. This wouldn't have been a problem with paperbacks, as you can simply put a bookmark at the part that you want to stop and continue after lunch or something. If you're halfway...

    should I accept webnovel's contract?

    Normally Ai-chan would say "Read the fucking contract!" But recalling what they already did countless times to Chinese authors, Ai-chan will save you the trouble and say NO. Do you like losing sleep? Do you like losing your fingers Do you like being treated like trash? Do you like having your...
