Honestly? I would panic over the pressure and high expectations. When you've barely got anyone reading it, you don't have to worry about people pestering you over next updates. You can write the story however you want, and take it in whatever direction you want. You don't have to worry about...

You've got me curious. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2112692/outcasts-and-rebels/

I like the one for Corner Store, especially how the title is on the store front. I'd click on it. Mischosen is good enough, though I don't care for how the word got split up. I can see why you did it, and I don't know how to make the cover better with it on one line. But that's my only...

I sometimes write MxM romances, so I have this problem a lot. I found it's easiest to just alternate between names and pronouns without thinking too much about it the first go around. Then, later on (at least a day or two- the longer the better), I reread the scene and, each time I get confused...

True, but I assumed OP was going for third person limited, since that's more common and much easier. I once read something years ago about how omniscient is hard to do right, and that it's a common mistake for people trying omniscient for the first time to accidentally write it as third person...

Be careful not to head hop. (Jumping between different POVs within a scene. Very disorienting for readers.) Pick one character's POV, and stick with it for the entire scene. If you're doing multiple POV, it's best to give a line break between the scenes as a marker, or start them on a new chapter.

If that's the case, then yeah, I don't see much point in going that deep into his description. (Then again, I'm not a fan of a lot of description in a story, so that could just be my personal taste.) I vote for the revision.

I like the second one more, but if the old man becomes a side character, it would be better to keep in the description of his face and hair.

Really? I'm surprised. I assumed the opposite- that once you get over 60 or 70 chapters, you'd struggle to gain new readers because of how much reading they'd have to do to catch up. (I can understand not wanting to read something with less than 30 chapters though.)

I used to be on there, but quit recently because it's not even worth the effort of copy and pasting chapters there anymore. Since it's one of the most populated writing sites out there, and they canned the forums, it's almost impossible to gain any traction there unless you already have an...

I think so, but it also doesn't make much sense because, why would bots view things but not leave spam-type comments? (I've gotten a couple before, but it's rare compared to other sites.) But it also doesn't make sense that nobody is following it, yet I get at least 10+ views a chapter, but some...

I'm currently writing something that doesn't neatly fall under any one genre (maybe slice of life is closest?) and it gets more views on RR than here. But also, my view counts on RR make little sense and no one is actually following/interacting the story so I sometimes wonder if any of those...

I've only ever used them for interruption. (Even so, I've been using a regular dash cuz looking for an em dash online to copy and paste isn't worth the effort when people can easily figure out what I'm doing with a regular dash.) I didn't even know there was another way to use them until all the...

I didn't start seriously writing until my early-mid twenties, and I finished my first novel in 2016. But I've technically been writing since I was a kid.

Honestly, there's a higher chance I'd check out something with a terribly-drawn cover over an AI generated one. There's a certain charm to them I find endearing. Hand-drawn ones that are well done? Even better. They'd stand out in a good way imo. (My answer is the same for both webnovels and...

Look. Everyone is always looking at someone or something. Bonus points if it's two characters exchanging looks. I try to spice it up with a glance or a gaze or a stare, but then it just gets obvious I'm avoiding "look."

As a fellow pantser, some of my best side characters were made up on the spot. I always end up bringing them back for future scenes too, and then they become a recurring character. That aside, I don't know what my strengths are. Maybe grammar and punctuation. I guess I have good intuition for...

The future is always changing, but people and their problems stay the same.

I go back ten sentences and try again. If that doesn't work, I take a break from it and come back later.

Sometimes I get inspiration for a character first, sometimes a plot first. But I never put pen to paper until I have a vague idea of both in my head.
