It's time to talk a little about Gender Bender, specifically Male to Female and why they are so many of them. Obviously the readers like them. They are wish-fulfilment and don't look like weird enough fetish that people will avoid. It fixes a few things. Men can now self-insert into girls and...

Write like a documentary report or business letters.

If you read this book even only once you are already better than more than half of all SH authors grammar wise.

The essence of storytelling is "change", with or without the desires to do so. Suffering is just the need to get somewhere one could have been.

You can search for completed stories. I would exclusively use that if I ever want to read something here. At least I can be sure that the authors didn't drop the story.

First few paragraphs if the grammar is good.

Mature is heavy subject matters with realism while Adult is things that aren't allowed for the kiddies. Smut is a streamy erotic focused story (or a bait genre because you need more clicks and then whine afterwards because you get more hate by deceiving your readers). Seinen is...

Time has changed. During the "good-ol-time" people generally have more attention span and patience than today's fast-paced world or infinite instant entertainment. You can see good visual just by opening TV or videos and watch epic battles with cool music with no effort to understand or imagine...

The time you spend watching and reading inspirational speeches/quotes could be better spending doing those things you want to do.

Word count isn't the indication of pace nor is word per chapter. If you feel that it's slow, it's slow.

People are making it more damning that it actually is. Sexy covers and hot genres bring more eyes towards them, meaning more good and bad ratings. If you don't want attention, don't use baity covers. Again, just because someone rates your story badly doesn't mean you're getting rating-bomb...

Why not?

Homoerotic is a weird word, but still is Boy Love, even if temporary or whatever. Homosocial is literally just friendship and companion. I think we also have undertone tags too. (But if there is no romantic feeling involved then why do you still tag it as BL?) You seem to think you need to...

Why would you tag it as boy love if there is no boy love? (Well, if it is one-sided love then it is Boy Love.) Boy Love is about two male romance. That's how the mass knows about them. They are English words and not Japanese words (yaoi or yuri or whatever). If it is romance, then it is...

Romance will become a filler genre when there is GL/BL/BG genre. We have GL/BL genres because they are niches big enough to be separated from the normal romance (I would argue that the way is to make GL, BL, and BG tags instead, but technical problems). Are you telling me that Boy LOVE and Girl...

We have smut for that. But normal people would assume romance is about bg, unless specified otherwise. Same with smut. It is redundant to have bg genre when romance standing alone is just fine, at least until bg love becomes niche and bl/gl becomes the expectation of the norm. If we add bg...

I feel like we aren't talking about the same thing here.

Romance is bg by default. No need to complicate things. GL and BL are niches, so they need to be separated from the normal romance, hence the new genres. Otherwise, romance itself will be a meaningless genre.
