    Writing One Sentence Paragraphs -- Trending in Free stories posted Everywhere.

    It's actually understandable psychologically... why readers prefer chapters with short paragraphs (1-3 sentences). Since most readers read web novels on mobile, short paragraphs make for comfortable reading. On the other hand, long paragraphs tire the eyes. This is different from reading a...

    What motivates you to keep writing your book?

    If you demand perfection for your first book... then you will never finish it or even cancel it. My first book was quite bad, the narrative was messy, and the visuals were hard to imagine. However, I didn't think too much about it at first... after writing hundreds of chapters, my writing...

    Discrepancy in your writing tastes and your reading tastes?

    It's understandable, actually... many dark fantasy authors can't even touch a pen (or open a laptop) for days after writing a dark story. It's not the readers who's traumatized... it's the author. Lol.

    Writing Narrative Style

    You're forcing me to write this... even though I've already explained narrative style as an author's personality - revealing my narrative style in this thread is more like self-promotion. Okay, I'll explain my narrative style (not for promotional purposes, lol). First, I tend to use a limited...

    Writing Narrative Style

    Narrative Style Writing fiction is like developing a personality. Your writing has a certain feel to it that you prefer. You might prefer the first POV over the third... or you might combine the two. You might write more cinematic action narratives than descriptive narratives... or you might...

    The Great Censorship of Chinese Party strikes again

    Honestly, this trope is incredibly toxic... in the real world, if you practice this trope... you'll likely become a potential victim of domestic violence. Trust me! They're not worried about censoring women in bikinis... they're just worried about losing customers.... lol

    The Great Censorship of Chinese Party strikes again

    still better than censoring cigarettes with candy and letting women in bikinis run on the battlefield.

    For three days, I didn't add any words... instead, I reduced them (editing). For three days, my hand refused to write the narrative even though the idea was already in my head.

    It's best to research the market and find a narrative style that suits you, unless you're writing fiction for self-actualisation/hobby.

    In the fictional world... heroes save the world with superpowers. In the real world, heroes save many people with courage and reject hatred. Big respect! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce3wkey5p33o

    Discrepancy in your writing tastes and your reading tastes?

    Before deciding to write fiction... I have read a lot of isekai power fantasy, shounen, seinen, shoujo, josei, and only a little dark fantasy. But I did not write those mainstream tropes... I chose to take my own path writing subversive motherhood ideological dark fantasy fiction. A dark...

    Do Shout-out Swaps Happen Here?

    In reality, exchanging reviews for reviews on the novel's pages provides little value to the fiction beyond mere promotional tools. What I want is for someone to genuinely read my fiction voluntarily and provide an honest review. If it becomes an "exchange," whether in exchange for material...

    Worst experience as a writer?

    I don't know... whether this was a bad experience or rather a 'needed' experience. I opened the darkest pages in human history, such as the holocaust, the atrocities of war, and the oppression of tyranny, then I narrated the dark story as if I saw or felt it myself (as a character). I was deeply...

    Do Shout-out Swaps Happen Here?

    I'm surprised how new works on RR get reviewed so quickly... My fiction on RR struggled for 5 months, only getting one rating. If review swaps were a normal promotional tool, then that's understandable. But on the other hand, I've also seen many new works on RR willingly pay for paid promotion...

    Do Shout-out Swaps Happen Here?

    Unfortunately, this forum is mostly comprised of authors rather than pure readers, so promoting your novel here is almost useless.

    Writing [Tutorial] Tightening Your Writing

    Let me add a suggestion: Narrate a cinematic scene. A cinematic scene is one that is action-packed, like an action movie; the sensory effects blend with the action, and it's easy to visualise in the reader's imagination. For example: Descriptive scene: Change it into a cinematic scene: This...
