Yesterday, I experimented with releasing a new chapter and placing it between older chapters. Using the RR algorithm, the chapter should appear in the latest updates, and when readers access the chapter, it will be linked to the older chapters. However, SH, this doesn't work. What happened was...

So why did you design a narrative about a woman who is pregnant as a result of "violation"? Doesn't that tarnish your own character? There are many ways to narrate a pregnant woman without making her "dirty." Perhaps she became pregnant after marriage, but tragically her husband died, leaving...

The title can mean: Fictional identity, fictional premise, gimmicks/promotions. Changing the title is fine as long as your fictional identity remains the same, readers can easily find it, and it represents your premise. Refining or altering gimmicks is common, especially in web novels. Look at...

It's natural to complain. Long sentences are tiring because most readers of SH and similar web novels read them on mobile phones. A paragraph of 2-3 sentences is considered the ideal standard for comfortable reading. This is different when you're writing fiction in a paper book... long...

I don't know if this is your narrative style or just the example of excerpts from the chapters. However, your narrative is too exposition-heavy. Too many unnecessary, long-winded explanations. Instead of explaining, you should get straight to the action. Use exposition sparingly to concisely...

You know what the scariest creature is? Not ghosts, not monsters, not gods, but your mother. If she's angry, even a transcendent protagonist will hide under the bed.

This is the opposite of my fiction thesis question.

It's a great map. But it only comes to life if you provide living world and/ or vivid worldbuilding. Imagine having a great map but the narrative never explores life in the countries depicted on the map and doesn't influence the conflict and plot of your fiction. Then the map would be wasted. A...

This approach only works for new novels. To build loyalty, you need to improve the quality of your content. Meanwhile, short chapters will degrade the quality of your content. So, simply use the short chapter trick as an initial promotion before writing longer chapters.

Another trick I've noticed is that you can divide your long chapters into sections (part 1, 2, 3, etc.) without editing the content. The goal is simple: to make your chapters feel more numerous. So readers can read a marathon. The chapters I've rewritten average 2,000+ words per chapter...

Shortening the chapter is just one trick to increase visibility. The benefits of shortening the chapter: Makes the chapter easier to read in a concise manner. Speeds up chapter updates. Makes chapters appear more in number. Potential readers are more interested in seeing 100 chapters with 100K...

Genres: Fantasy, SoL, action and drama. Subgenres: Strong FMC + wholesome fantasy + dark fantasy + found family = grimlight (not grimdark).

I'm just sad to read FMC in your fictional premise.

You are free to define your fiction thesis question regardless of its value and importance... this thread does not limit that.

What is the Premise of Your Fiction in the Form of A Thesis Question? Can you wrap your fiction around your thesis question as if you were answering a speculative-fictional question? This way, readers can understand both the conceptual outline of your work and the narrative promise of what your...

The last time I reviewed a swap, the author I reviewed didn't provide a review back. Since then, I've been distrustful of swap reviews.

When I was a child and a teenager, I would be afraid to watch TV alone at night about zombies, ghosts, or similar horror stories that stemmed from supernatural elements. However, as an adult, I've lost my "fear" of mystical horror. Psychological and social horror are actually scarier...

The trees were so tall. The sun was covered by the leaves. But I could see between the leaves. Mr Sun was still peeking at me and following me. Maybe Mr Sun is feeling shy. Mr Sun can follow me. Caelan doesn’t mind. I looked behind us. My chin was on Mommy’s shoulder. “Mommy… the forest is...
