    Writing Leave the Chapters as Cliffhangers or no?

    This would depend. If it is going to be a series, then it might be a good idea to leave things a bit open ended. For instance, what I did with my trilogy. The first book ends with the lead heading off somewhere, from what is known at this point. One can assume to reclaim the rest of their...

    Anybody else have more reads on a later chapter than the ones before?

    XD Sorry, I have been finding new ways to get creative with these things. For instance, one of my recent works. It looks like the ending is a happy one. However, all of my works are connected. Hence, there is a small Easter Egg. This Easter Egg immediately pushes the ending into an unknown...

    Anybody else have more reads on a later chapter than the ones before?

    Indeed, thing is however. There are readers out there that will only read a book based on the ending is a happy one. Hence, I came up with a clever way to trap them. I did not put in countless hours into writing, for it to simply be skipped over. They can sort last to first, first to last...

    Anybody else have more reads on a later chapter than the ones before?

    Reader dropoffs happens significantly between the first five chapters. I have stated this before, it is common to happen. However, readers might also reread a chapter, or jump ahead. Yes, it does happen. So once I even decided to pull quite a clever trick. My main series, it is quite long, so...

    Writing How Many Side Characters?

    It depends really, more or less what the story revolves around. For instance, mine contains hell of a lot of conflict and wars. An example from my trilogy. There have been quite a number of side characters. Their role truly comes into play in the true finale of the series. Where all of them...

    It’s sort of a mixed bag at this point. Now it is now on the tagging part to clarify. If diverse/diversity is too broad. Then right now is trying to figure out what can narrow it down. Maybe mixed-race wouldn’t necessarily work on multiple fronts. So I am thinking what about, ‘multiracial’...

    Alright, so given the context of it. What would be a term to narrow it down? Since they have the genre specifics yes, but what would be a term to further trigger a connecting point? Since well, this is a pretty important point over quite some years really. So far I can just think of one term...

    I understand where you are coming from but, none of your points are supported. At least not strongly enough to warrant the removal of something, as or the limitation of a feature. As I said though I accept where you are coming from, I respect it, and I apologize for my part in it all. Now I can...

    Then here is my question. Why does it work? As I said, Wattpad is massive, they use the same system. It works out quite well. Then there is inkitt that does the same, if not taking it a bit further. The point is for accessibility. I can understand potential problems that can come with it...

    Tag Implementation. State Here.

    Yeah, I understand it can get tricky the larger a site. Well, I suppose the other solution is to add as many tags as one can think of as a preset. That would be an alternative. Damn, I know I once looked up tags and there was a list suggested. It was back when I was stuck on what tags to use...

    Tag Implementation. State Here.

    I did mention that scribblehub has 25 tags max per story. Meaning it would be cut down upon, unlike Inkitt that can have 100 tags or something. There wouldn’t be the same fluctuation, not by a massive margin. I can see where you are coming from. Also, you cannot call it just sucks. You gotta...

    On another hand, Inkitt works quite well with the manual tags. It might be due to the interface, as well as those that manage the site. However, I haven’t seen an issue really on that site with using the manual creation method. It can simply be due to mismanagement that caused the mess in the...

    Ya know, there is a tag I am surprised hasn’t been up there. Augmentation Given this site, and its stories on top of this. I feel like it would have a purpose in a range of genres.

    There is no "Similar Series" section in some novels :(

    Well, at least it is getting adjusted. However, I would much more appreciate if it can get even more in depth. For instance, if the algorithm can scan the words and determine the type of style. Then use this to recommend similar ones. As well as taking into account two different things. One, if...

    Tag Implementation. State Here.

    Oh yeah, keep forgetting that’s actually a genre on here. Hmm... Well, guess the last thing one can do, is to allow manual tag creation. This way if a tag is not present, they can input it. At the same time, keep the current recommendation list of tags. The recommendations can be for those who...

    How do you write when you fall into the depression of you character?

    Nope, if anything, I write longer and faster. ? My entire series is depressing. If I get discouraged easily, none of them would be complete.

    There is no "Similar Series" section in some novels :(

    I have similar series recommendations. However, it is always far from anything I would read. In all honesty, this happens with pretty much anything. YouTube, Games, Netflix. ? It goes on and on, so I am always stuck with the very annoying task of diving into the ocean, and hoping I don’t pull...

    Creative way to reward readers?

    I make them suffer more. ? I am not to be stifled with. ? That aside, can just do some early releases. That or write a new book.

    Iguana hater spotted. ? Well that aside, we should consider some normal ones. Such as ’no smut,’ I think that one there would be more useful. On another hand, can increase the amount of tags allowed, then allow the user to specifically type in a tag themselves. This one here is available on Inkitt.

    Yep, recent story I did. Apparently the animal is in military school. ? Why? The hell should I know? ? Well, I do know, but that would be spoiler. ? That aside, figured the tag would make people pause, and have them curious.
