Reading or Writing Novels? I used to enjoy reading hundreds of web novels across various genres. But somehow, since I decided to write my own novels, my passion for reading other novels has waned. I haven't even read another novel in two months. Do you feel the same way that I feel it...

Often, honest comments are more valuable than sweet comments.

No... no... My FMC isn't Chinese MCs who are known for being selfish and arrogant. My FMC is very gentle, especially towards her little daughter and the victims of crimes. She's the type of person who will cry with you when you suffer from tyrannical crimes. But she won't hesitate to execute you...

Based on my protagonist's logic (and perhaps it also represents me), Marry El Rose would never forgive crimes of moral betrayal. She always adheres to the law of blood, "blood for blood." There is no room for forgiveness for crimes against humanity, especially those that are systemic, massive...

As an author, when you look at your old fictions (whether finished fictions or completed volumes), are you interested in rewriting them in the new narrative style or remaking them to suit market trends?

That only happens if you are tied to an exclusive contract with a platform so you are not free to distribute your fictions.

Ultimately, we must distinguish between exposure and contract. Getting exposure by placing your novel on multiple platforms is a common strategy. Many SH authors release their novels on other platforms. However, signing a contract is another matter because it means you hand over "control" of...

Enjoy your school years optimally.

Seizing copyright from an author is so horrible. It's like taking a child from its mother... the novels we write contain our feelings, experiences, trauma, love, and even our hopes for life... and they're trying to take it away in the name of a contract?! This is modern slavery.

Writing is fun (because you pour out your ideas and soul into it), while editing is a hassle (it's time-consuming and requires a high level of precision).

Dark Fantasy or Isekai Power Fantasy (LiRPG): Which do You Prefer? Dark fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy that emphasises a gloomy atmosphere, tragic themes, and an exploration of the dark side of humanity. Characteristics of dark fantasy: The protagonist is usually a native of the fantasy...

Melancholy? How about a novel with themes of trauma (tragic past), redemption, motherhood, and found family set in a dark, medieval fantasy world?

how about adding that to the author's notes or glossary?

I've only been writing novels for two months. I've published four different novels, and they're still ongoing, with the largest number of chapters in a series reaching 70 chapters (draft and published). I didn't think anything of it. I even received comments from readers that my grammar was so...

Well, perhaps we're speaking from different perspectives: East vs. West. The West upholds gender equality and neutrality. My statement, even based on personal experience and personal preferences, could be interpreted as implicitly sexist. Perhaps my Western literacy is too limited. However, if...

In designing fictional characters, don't authors always base their mental developmental age on them? In shoujo stories, for example, authors will place the female protagonist as a teenager because shoujo is intended for teenage girls who are in the midst of romance. Age is not the core of the...

Oh... I see what you mean. I didn't even realise this thread could be read that way. Lol

There is no obligation to answer, this thread is only intended for discussion.

Being a mother is not a must; I wrote (if married) as optional, but based on developmental psychology, at that age range, people usually become mothers.
