    Writing Prompt A Meeting with the Author

    This happens in almost every chapter, as I have a Q&A section, hahaha. Here is one of them, as an example. Author: Wow, you are ruthless, Yasenia. Yasenia: She dared to rob one of the items made by Andrea? Heh, she would've died if I weren't so weak to take accountability for the...

    swear words in historical novel?

    Here are a list of a few idioms you might want to use in a cultivation setting. 掩耳盗铃 (yǎn ěr dào líng): Literally translates to "covering one's ears while stealing a bell." It describes someone who tries to deceive themselves or others despite obvious facts, akin to mocking someone's...

    Isn't that a bit weird?

    I send my thanks through a private message if anything. But, being appreciative if someone leaves a good review should not be considered off-putting. It should be something wholesome because it shows that the author cares.

    What's your average word count per chapter in your story?

    2.1k. An average reader takes about 10 minutes to read that, so it is like uploading a small YouTube video.

    Would you rather.....

    100 readers because even if they don't interact a lot, if they are willing to invest money in your novel, it means they like it much more than those 10 who interact a lot in it but don't pay. Don't get me wrong, interactive readers are always a delight to have. But being interactive doesn't...

    Are review sites a good investment?

    Why do I feel like people there will treat the synopses you present as if they are meant to make them wet their pants with excitment, and if they fail to do so, they will smash your book as if it had killed their families?

    Writing If it doesn't have perfect logic, there isn't even subpar reality.

    Oh, wow. I usually refrain from commenting. However, this is ridiculous. Logic is the base of a good story? Right, because all of the Marvel plots, one of the most successful worldwide, make sense, right? At one moment, Captain America is blocking a meteor, and at the next, he is being held back...

    Add the ability to comment on reviews.

    A review is aimed at those who haven't started the novel. Not to be rude, but addressing a review in the comment section of the last chapter is like throwing a rock at a lake and hoping to fish something. Nonsensical. Also, the ability to address a review should be essential. Everywhere, and...

    Illustrations in a novel - yay or nay?

    Well, I have quite a few illustrations, but I usually place only a part of the illustration for the public, while I reserve the entire illustration for my Patreon. While it is expensive to have high-quality illustrations, I feel it's worth it. It cost me quite a lot of money, but I find it worth...

    Add the ability to comment on reviews.

    Np, I should've clarified, hahaha.

    Add the ability to comment on reviews.

    Oh yeah, I was thinking of anyone being able to write a comment. You know, as if the review were a "comment" in one chapter, and people could like it, dislike it, and answer. For example:

    Add the ability to comment on reviews.

    Oh? Could you elaborate? I personally can't see a downside.

    Add the ability to comment on reviews.

    I mean, engagement and discussion are part of posting online. The "flaming," if it happens, can be equally done in the comments of the novel. Reviews are the first impression many have on a novel, and people's ability to comment can clarify otherwise misleading reviews. A lengthy discussion...

    Add the ability to comment on reviews.

    I've never really thought of it, but today, it suddenly hit on me that SH is the only novel page, at least that I know of, where you can't actually answer a review. Is there a reason for it? Edit: To clarify, I mean anybody can leave a comment below the review, not just the Author. For Example...

    Add dumb protagonist tag, or shounen-style protagonist tag

    If you want to, this is your post, after all, hahaha.

    Add dumb protagonist tag, or shounen-style protagonist tag

    I mean, nobody would use it. Tags exist to gather the reader's attention and invite them in, not to tell them that your novel is bad. If someone placed this tag on their book, unless it is a comedy or something, they would be doing a disservice to themselves. Edit: Remember that the tags are...

    Shouting the names of abilities.

    I would say you need a mix between them. However, shouting the abilities can make the battle's fluidity better in the reader's head. Yet, you don't always need to say every single ability. Of course, this is in a normal setting. If the abilities need a chant or something, then that's that. You...

    Has anyone received any propositions or deals from people interested in your stories before?

    While all she says is true, that's a privileged standpoint, no? She is assuming many things with her critiques. First, she assumes that you, as an author, can make your book popular without the help of an editorial. While normal editorials are still good, online publishing is king. Webnovel, as...

    Has anyone received any propositions or deals from people interested in your stories before?

    Oh! Well, have you seen the photos I've shared? You are only looking at Scribblehub. I'm talking about what she has written in Webnovel. The Epic of Caterpillar, etc. I've read five of those novels, Epic of Caterpillar included, and the word count is stable at 2000+ in those. Count the chapters...

    Has anyone received any propositions or deals from people interested in your stories before?

    I don't know where you got that statistics from, but my novel has 1.5 million words.
