    Cover Art Opinions?

    So, basically, out of these two the way they are, I'd prefer the second one. If it was done properly, I'd prefer the style of the first one. Now, what do I mean "properly"? The symbol is too specific, yet unspecific at the same time. It doesn't really tell me anything as of yet, because I have...

    Well done. Even the typography doesn't look like shit. :blob_cookie: Have an appreciative cookie. 🍪

    just an amateur artist trying to make her own illustrations

    It looks so cool, but why is the typography like that?! I'm appalled; it covers her eyes, even though they looked to awesome. This is horrible. I'm feeling faint. Call me a hearse, please. ⚰️

    Show me your signed copies!

    Same :blob_blank: I did sign books before though. Can I just take my own? :blob_cookie: Then I won't feel like a loser here.

    I am highly convinced this story is AI generated.

    I agree with how you should plan ahead. I'm not actually a planner, but I have what I call "Trivia Excels" on different stories on my hard drive. There's an array of information, depending on the story and what could be relevant in it, from names, to certain affiliations or other random info -...

    Short novels/one-shots

    That is indeed true. Regularly, 80 k to 100 k, in fact, is the regular paperback size. In general, people read differently online and I've also caught myself thinking of the novel's overall storyline in a different manner than when I was thinking about a book that was meant to be a paperback...

    How do you write action scenes?

    That's hard to answer, to be honest. :blob_blank: I like action, but I'm not always very good at it, I believe. It depends-ish? :blob_cookie: Since you allowed it so freely, I'd just put out an example. I'm not even sure if this counts as promotion, since I just said I'm not that good, but at...

    What is the game you have played the most?

    People will shit on me for this, I'm sure. :blob_cookie: Genshin Impact and Dead by Daylight.

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    That's like there's a story hidden there, even though I'm guessing you just stopped being interested in it. :blob_cookie: Still kinda sad, though. Have a cookie. 🍪

    I think I get isekai now (warning: navel-gazing ahead)

    Ah, well, I mean, fair enough. Again, it could be true for some people, but I do know a lot who are just in it for certain tropes. And a lot of them are power fantasy types ("random Joe get Isekai'd and gains superpowers that may destroy the whole universe for no reason whatsoever" fits that...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Indeed. A lot of people don't think much of it, but if you actually paid for something, you criticism gets a lot harsher. :blob_popcorn_two: Like, just check out Amazon, for god's sake. Depending on what you're looking for, it's a fucking battlefield. And I love it. :blob_cookie: Request...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Right now? "Aggressive and confrontational" is what I'm being on purpose. Did you fail to realize that? No, we definitely agree to disagree, but you came in, accusing people of some sort of disrespect, while likely not even actually reading the story - which is, funnily enough, what you claimed...

    I think I get isekai now (warning: navel-gazing ahead)

    As someone who reads a lot of Transmigration (and finally ended up writing one) types of Isekai, basically the Korean style of it, I wouldn't say that is my reason for reading them. A lot of timmes, it's about the power fantasy - other times, it's just about the subversion of expectations with...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Right, because it takes me thousands of words to simply say "You're shit - go kick rocks, or something." Sure. So yes, my reviews are long. But they are not cruel. If they were, they would be really, really, reallly short and very easy to read. Did you even read the actual post? I know it's...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    Yes, so after reading two stories, that's the feeling we came to, after skimming over another. And no, I do not plan to actually read or review it. But as she wanted me to look at the other, I felt compelled to do so, believing it could be better. As you saw, one of her issues was keeping in...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    What I was doing? I was quoting parts of relevance to give her examples, told her what she did well and didn't do so well, how her characters reflect on their original character. For example (it was a FanFiction): You have a character who has a more arrogant and not very people-pleasing nature...

    [Pointless Rant] The Agony of Reading (Sometimes)

    The thing is: I ranted this down from the perspective of a reader, but I'm also a writer. And it simply won't ever be logical to me, how these things happen - even if it's brutal; even if you don't want to change anything, it's at least the opinion of one person and that person might have...
