    Dropped stories and vanishing authors.

    Now, we have to differentiate between postponing novels and deleting novels. I've also written four novels. However, only one is actively updated. I've postponed the continuation of the others. Of the three hiatus novels, I've completed arc 1 of two novels (volume 1 is complete - although I...

    Dropped stories and vanishing authors.

    Possible reasons for deleted novels: They gave up. For some, novels can be dark records (especially if the contents are not friendly to general readers) so deleting them is a way to cleanse themselves. They commercialize their works. They join as webnovel authors. We don't really know them...

    Concept Idea- Paradoxic Love

    I've written a story with a similar moral premise about true love: can love survive when the loved one falls into a coma, unrequited, leaving only a heartbreaking silence? I've just finished arc 1, which contains about a dozens chapters, and haven't continued it yet.

    What to improve?

    Too much exposition. I don't understand why you're describing it? How important is the exposition for the conflict of your story?

    Should individual webserial books have proper endings?

    Sorry, I meant no harm. It's just that I still don't understand what a "proper ending" is. I've tried to answer your question. As long as your story resolves the main conflict, it's a proper ending. For me, a proper ending means the conflict is resolved, at least in the main arc of the book. I...

    Should individual webserial books have proper endings?

    What is a 'proper ending'? There are many types of endings: happy ending, bittersweet ending, tragic ending, and even cliffhanger ending. If your story answers the main conflict, no matter what type of ending it is, I think it's a proper ending.

    [CLOSED] No one wants to review your story? Here I am!

    Okay, I appreciate your review. There's a lot I could probably correct about the plot, dialogue, and writing, but since your review involves your preferences, I won't comment further. Thank you. Best regards.

    Is it AI?

    How do you check the coherence of your story? Well, I'm not sure just from that small scene. But you can check your story itself. What is the moral premise of your story? How do you write a conflict to answer your moral premise? How is your world constructed? Does your worldbuilding have...

    Is it AI?

    What differentiates them is their meaning. Writing is no longer just writing. In every story, in every arc, in every plot, in every scene, there is a meaning the author wants to convey to the reader. This meaning is what shapes the imagination in the reader's head and makes the story feel alive...

    Is it AI?

    There are many tools to check whether the writing is similar to AI or human handwriting, such as Grammarly. But that doesn't guarantee it was written by AI or not. In my opinion, the coherence of the writing is more important than whether it is AI-style or human handwriting. If the story is not...

    Is it AI?

    What is the importance of distinguishing whether it is AI output or human hand typing? What matters is what function the snippet of scene serves in the narrative. If it's just a blank scene that has no impact on the plot, it might be better to just remove it or make it more concise.

    I'll rate your cover

    Hi, everyone. You don't remember me, but please hear me out.

    It's interesting to see how other people's fiction preferences shift as they age. I used to love isekai power fantasy, but now I'm starting to gravitate towards dark fantasy with a native protagonist that emphasizes human values in a reflective way (not moral nihilism), especially the bonds of...

    What's your reason for not reviewing a novel?

    Reasons For Not Reviewing the Novel We might have read a novel on SH and not left a review. Or perhaps the author asked for a review in the feedback forum, but we might have ignored the request. I am an active member who provides reviews on novelupdates. However, on SH, I rarely provide...

    Thank you, Mysterious reader, for giving my story plenty of comments!

    Their pattern is similar: praising random chapters like they're loyal readers when they're just passing through, then offering random services, and if the author refuses, they'll delete the comments to destroy the evidence. The bad news is they are on almost every platform.

    I just wrote and wanted to ask for your opinion

    Your writing is quite neat and easy to read. However, your story is more like SoL instead of isekai with mystery core (which you highlight in the synopsis). There are several things you can consider to attract readers, among others: Design your cover in anime/LN style and preferably use a...

    Thoughts on the first part of my OG work.

    My honest criticisms: Too much info dump at the beginning of the paragraph. The description is too wordy. The paragraph is too long to read on mobile - you wrote 1 plural sentence that could be broken into 2-3 sentences, the plural sentence should have been a paragraph. I didn't get the...

    Anyone else search up keywords relating to their story to see if someone out there is talking about their novel?

    I'm not sure. Isn't it difficult to check whether a novel is being discussed by readers, especially without a fandom? We know that SH readers are generally silent readers.
