    Looking for Romance Novel recommendations.

    You might like my story? It's a historical fantasy set in a matriarchal society, so no helpless females. There is some mystery and drama later on, but I keep it pretty slice of life for the most part. It *is* reverse harem, but I put more of a found family spin on it, and try my best to avoid...

    Thank you!! Good guess, but nope. She's the one in the middle. I blended some different gendered clothing styles to create a unique new system, but purely in our world Shion (rightmost character) would be dressed in the most feminine style, since it's based on Japanese bridal kimono so the...

    Taco, Hotdog, or...?

    Ah, that's true. Good point.

    Taco, Hotdog, or...?

    Cannot believe I'm the only vote so far for samosas. They're so good! Samosas and báhn mì are a tie for me. Burgers are fine, but kinda boring, and I'm not that big a fan of pizza since I don’t like cheese. No dumplings though? :blob_unsure:

    Character Art

    I've been writing this story for a few months now and at this point I've compiled quite a bit of art from drawing each of the central characters. I thought I might as well share them here too. It's a reverse harem story with a wholesome, found-family theme, set in an East Asian medieval inspired...

    For new authors

    I was an art student, so I approach it the way an artist learns. Imitate the greats, build up the foundational skills, and then once you've amassed a solid base and have practice, it is easier to improvise and strike out on your own. If you’re unsure how to imitate, try to pay attention to the...

    For new authors

    This is probably not the advice you want, but if you want to improve your writing the most important thing is to read a lot. Try to pay attention to the authors who's style you really like—their vocab, characters, sentence patterns, plot beats, and how they lead up to and hint at tension. Then...

    Not OP, but I thought your cover looked cool so I gave the first chapter a look. Your writing is so good, the descriptions are vivid and the tension gripped me immediately. However, if you want to gain readers and encourage interaction on this site, I think you should try to aim for shorter...

    Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed my story so far. And thanks for the reassurance regarding the cover. Later on, there will be more intimate scenes, but still not anything 'very' explicit. I'm more comfortable writing soft romance and fantasy drama.

    Hi! I'd love to hear your thoughts on my historical fantasy reverse haremlit story. It's very character focused and has an introspective, slice of life style progression so it might be up your alley? I drew the cover art myself. I know it could be better, and anime style covers seem to be...

    Genuine Honest Feedback

    I think there are more accurate AI checkers you could use instead. I ran a few chapters of my own through this and they all came up with at least 20% detected, even with sentences that used words I made up.

    I'm on a once in a while, criticism spree

    Oh! I don’t know why that happened, sorry! It definitely wasn't intentional. My bad.

    I'm on a once in a while, criticism spree

    Thank you for the feedback. I'll be sure to take it onboard for editing. I'm a little confused by your mention of "statistics"? Could you explain what that refers to? Do you mean word count?

    I'm on a once in a while, criticism spree

    Hello, I'd appreciate it if you looked at my story. It’s tagged with "gender-bender" only because it's a reverse world setting and there isn't a more specific tag for that. Also, I know this is a bit of a cop-out but I think the first couple chapters are probably the weakest and I improved as I...

    I'll review first chapters... ?

    Hi, don't mean to be pushy, but just in case you forgot, am I still on the waiting list?

    Should I give CW's for dubious consent?

    Oh, that's a good idea! Thank you. Hmm, I think that's not specific enough.
