    I think I am the weird one

    It's not strange, you're normal. I've been in a similar situation, but not the same. I was on the night bus on my way home. Suddenly, a member of the opposite sex sat next to me. The problem was, that person fell asleep on my shoulder all night. I felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep. It was...

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

    It's better to be a closed reader than a reader who comments with praise but ends up offering certain services. lol

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

    How do we know if other people are talking about our novel? All I can do is use keywords to search for my novel on Google. lol

    Should names be in its language or translated?

    If you want to convey the feel of your story in a European style, then translating the name into a more Western name is a wise choice. But if you intend to leave the name authentic, then there is no need to translate.

    That's right, a good prologue should be written in 1 concise chapter that has a strong hook for the readers. Seventeen chapters for the prologue are more worthy of being called an introductory arc than a prologue.

    Can You Write Deaths Right?

    I don't just write about the death of an individual, but I write about the death of the world, mass death (genocide), moral death, the death of memory, and the death of empathy. Yes, my world is indeed a dark fantasy world. Honestly, I felt suffocated when writing that dark scene. I didn't want...

    The problem is, those chapters are more like a mini-arc than full-fledged prologues. Remember, a good prologue is one that has a hook to keep new readers reading. If you label 17 chapters as prologues, new readers might be hesitant, especially since some readers tend to skip prologues because...

    Which type of antagonist do you prefer: the moral antagonist or the villain antagonist?

    I have no problem with that kind of antagonism. But that's beyond the scope of this thread.

    Writing Have you ever felt like your body doesn't want to write even though you still have plenty of ideas?

    My Body doesn't Want to Write Even Though I still Has Plenty of Ideas I've been really excited about writing lately. I have tons of writing plans, from writing new chapters, designing illustrations and covers, evaluating old chapters, and rewriting old chapters. Of course I executed most of...

    Personally, how do you like to use prologues?

    Since I have answered this question in another thread, I will copy and paste my answer: Critical Note: I always number chapter 1 as the prologue. It's number 1, not 0. This means that if readers skip the prologue, they won't grasp the moral premise presented in that volume. And they might find...

    Hii! im currently working on a cover for my novel and was hoping for some reviews

    If your novel with this cover was released in 2020 or earlier, your story would have found readers. But now, it's difficult; new novels are released every day. If your cover isn't visually appealing, potential new readers will ignore it. The current recommended cover formula is an anime/LN-style...

    New writer, how does anyone get readers here?

    Your prologue seems more like a gimmick than a moral premise. A gimmick packaged as an interaction between the reader and the narrative, exploring a glimpse of the story's mystery. I've never written a prologue that uses a mystery gimmick before, so I can't comment further on whether your...

    It's a bit difficult to read, but still readable. I intentionally designed the subtitle to be discreet. But I might revise it later.

    A collaborative editor

    I prefer to brainstorm myself to evaluate my fiction. Others may be reliable, but they can't always be relied upon. He offered an equivalent reward in the form of critique of the fiction. I suppose if both parties agree, the reward doesn't always have to be monetary.

    Is there a verification period before my first chapter becomes visible post-publish?

    I once got a long delay. Turns out I hadn't released the first chapter yet. lol

    Which type of antagonist do you prefer: the moral antagonist or the villain antagonist?

    Yes, and Sauron is an example of a true villain, how a true villain can shake Middle Earth and create an epic conflict that is remembered (by readers).
