    Any plans for a mobile app?

    App just caused too much and is hard to maintain. Look at NU or any big translation sites, talking about Wuxiaworld and Volare. They have no intention of expanding towards app as it caused too much.

I mean, I was trying to add some logic in my story and felt like it is working. I honestly can't see why the scene is illogical. If you...

    Do you ever share your ideas to other people?

    I only shared ideas that could be made into mini-series or one-shot. However, if I have confirmed to myself ( Usually multiple times. ) that I would not write it, I would share it to my fellow authors and see if any of them like my ideas.

    Would anyone be interested in collaborating on a story?
