    My target is the Japanase LN readers. Is it good to use "telling" more often rather than "showing"?

    Why would adults read that. I mean, you're talking Judy Blume reader level crap here, right? Please tell me that's not the target audience reading level for webnovels. When the Harry Potter craze hit, I was like... okay. But when the adults started reading it, I just thought it looked like...

    My target is the Japanase LN readers. Is it good to use "telling" more often rather than "showing"?

    I still like it. It feels "personal" like a person that's there or was there, is telling me at length all about it.

    My target is the Japanase LN readers. Is it good to use "telling" more often rather than "showing"?

    two things. is a "light novel" what I would have called a 'graphic novel'?? IE, a comic book with prose pages. If so, i once enjoyed the hell out of "Koolau the Leper". second thing, @Eldoria. that's why I fell in love with first person. You can't help the immersion. "I stood there in the...

    Make a generic CN synopsis of your story!

    Am I going to regret asking what a "CN" is?

    after waiting how long, i got rid of the links. they'll be coming out in my book that's having chapters released. Also, in other news. i made a "sample chapter" for another thread. I went and checked, it 404'd. not a translation, zero smut content. System just erased it, don't know why. Mind...

    Would you click on this?

    if its a male MC why is there a hot anime girl with cat ears on the phone. I'd expect to see a representation of your male MC. But don't mind me, I'm like an outsider, or... someone transplanted here as a time traveler from 1989, I suppose. I grew up reading old paperbacks. How did they ever...

    cover images

    is it just me, or does our cover images here, seem particularly small. I understand the thumbnail, but once you click on one novel in an authors dashboard, it really doesn't get that big. which is weird to me. People go on and on about how important cover images are, how if you can afford it you...

    Hard Spaces

    from the moment I uploaded my first ever chapter to a webnovel site, I wondered what was wrong. My indent on the paragraph disappeared! I tried format,no format, both the same. I tried messing with my text editor (treat <tab> as so many spaces) and I eventually gave up and just got used to...

    How can i write believable relationships.

    is that one of those "insider things". I know you "signal" professionals that you are part of the scene, when you JC a character. if the character's initials are J.C., he's going to Jesus Christ at or near the end. That is to say, selflessly offer his life up for the good of everyone. now that...

    How to write previous relationships.

    webnovel fortune cookie there. (anyone but me find it annoying, that the word "webnovel" activates a spelling error red line under it? We're on a WEBNOVEL site, for the love of god.)

    Story request (Fanfic)

    "I have a vivid imagination" - the post. that's a good, no great thing. I call a daydream/imagination that "sticks" and keeps re-occurring, a "healthy OCD" maybe you're trying to mix too much. or, you *could* be the person that mated StarWars to Earth for a fan fiction. only a spastic geek like...

    Good or Mad? My plot idea.

    is this save-the-cat outline, or hero's-journey outline? or an original outline. it seems to have a lot of twists, turns, reveals, cliffs. I'm trying to decide. if its going to be swords, sorcery, action. or soap-opera relationship drama with a romance mixed in. the romance part dragged out...

    How to write previous relationships.

    I learned about inference and the mystery it brings the hard way. wrote a trilogy. It was what I think of as "web novel" style, I guess. s-p-r-a-w-l. anyways, editing was a real bear. Reading a million words, editing as I go. multiple reading passes, think we all been there. the weird part came...

    It took me a little while to get used to the forum controls. Still figuring things out.

    Wisdom of the forum, answer my plea, what does a goth-girl produce on a farm?

    coffee beans, huh. the most expensive coffee beans on the *planet*... come from this one island. a "civet" has evolved to mainly eat this one coffee bean. the natives, uhm. go through the civet droppings. The beans don't digest, but they do break down somewhat and change pH or whatever. the...

    How do you write an engaging main character that makes you want to read the rest of his story?

    people kill me. I caught hell for "slow starts" and "slow buildups". but people read "slice of life" where basically nothing happens. everybody claims they want something "new" or "original" then you hear things under review that are basically "you should just do this, that's the right way to...

    Wisdom of the forum, answer my plea, what does a goth-girl produce on a farm?

    oh what the hell. these creatures are magical, huh. fine. Everyone knows about collecting the milk. Milk collection is for , like... noobs. You belt the head onto basically a large stationary bit gag, that collects quite a bit of saliva. You collect the urine, and you have a "dripper" going...

    Thank you, everyone!

    yeah. I hope I look good wearing green, lol. Because OP is 100, I'm only 50. Twice as many! Money? Please... on another site, they "pay" us for clicks we generate. My "account" I finally discovered exists, and I checked. Yeah. I have every bit of three dollars, and eleven cents in it. LMAO...
