    Is it normal for readers to not favourite your chapter?

    I get it. My Bachelor's is in Business Management and I had to take a few marketing/PR and HR courses for it. I learned a ton of stuff that's extremely useful when it comes to marketing yourself, making yourself look good, and so on, but I still feel guilty whenever I do it since I'd really...

    Is it normal for readers to not favourite your chapter?

    This is the best thing to do for favorites, reviews, ratings, reading lists, Patreon, etc. It's like the whole "HEY GUYS DON'T FORGET TO SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON, HIT THE BELL ICON, AND SUBSCRIBE" thing on YouTube. Is it annoying? Sure, to many people. But is it extremely effective and infinitely...

    Survey Questions

    Yes, I already plan on making sure that people understand the bias of my readers whenever I post the results seeing as how the majority of people who reply to the questions will be my own readers, but I will share a link to the survey so that others can share it if they want to. The point...

    Survey Questions

    It's been a while since I've surveyed my readers and I've been meaning to. What questions do you, as authors, want answered? I already plan on asking people about whether they care more about average rating or reviews, whether they like the trending systems or not, blah blah other generic stuff...

    What's the Appeal of Cultivation, Wuxia, and LitRPG stories?

    My we know all know this is actually the truth shit takes: Wuxia/Cultivation/Xianxia is just the Chinese version of fantasy for the Chinese version of weeaboos. LitRPG is for epic gamer bros who have no time to grind in games anymore, or who are salty by the fact that no good MMORPGs exist...

    Constructive Criticism Does Not Exist

    This is implying that authors are constantly aware of every single mistake that they would want to fix. Not to mention that it's possible a reader might offer advice that gives the author a new way of looking at something. For example, if an author writes about a serious subject that they're not...

    To People Who Review Stories That Ain't Their Preferred Genre

    Absolutely. My most controversial story is written as the fantasy autobiography of a dungeon core. People either absolutely love the style or hate it and think it's the worst trash ever. There is very, very little middle ground. The MC/narrator often goes off on random rambles like an old man...

    Webtoons Vs Mangas: Pros And Cons

    Also manga for the previously mentioned reasons but also because... I don't know, there's just something about the way that webtoon plots are set up that makes me not like them. None of them have the same kinds of tropes and themes that I can easily find and enjoy in manga. I like my weebshit...

    To People Who Review Stories That Ain't Their Preferred Genre

    Apparently, the usual defense for this is "If you only review what you like then you can't potentially expand your interests and will be a worse judge of the things you do like," or something like that. I remember Dunky did a video defending reviewing JRPGs even though he hates them and always...

    Unpopular opinion on harems

    I'm very, very confident that most guys (seeing as how it's going to be mainly guys reading a harem) are going to have the "yay hot lesbians" thought overriding the potential ruining of wish fulfillment. I don't think I've ever had a single person complain about any of my waifus being gay for...

    Unpopular opinions on Amazon Banning Light Novels

    truuu But even if people shouldn't bother having a discourse there, that doesn't stop them from trying all the damn time. There are probably more back-and-forth discussions on YT if you go through all the comments and replies to comments than on Twitter or Facebook. I wonder if there are any...

    Unpopular opinions on Amazon Banning Light Novels

    I see people call each other out on bullshit all the time on Twitter, on all sides of the political spectrum. I honestly see more of that than blind circlejerking whenever I look past the top reply (but, to be fair, part of the problem is that the shitty stuff usually rises to the top due to how...

    Opinion that is Unpopular

    It's definitely a franchise that deserves more recognition than what it gets. Only ever played 2, WaW, and MW2, and they were all excellent games that I never had a single issue with, and I liked the stories (even if they all are basically military recruitment propaganda - they're damn...

    Unpopular opinions on Amazon Banning Light Novels

    I use Twitter constantly and never see this sort of thing any more frequently than anywhere else, honestly. It's all about who you follow and what sort of things you look at. You can find the exact same Twitter shitfests on Reddit, Youtube, 4chan, Instagram, Discord, or even this forum. Twitter...

    Opinion that is Unpopular

    Pfftt, don't worry. I'm not trying to say you should change who you are. I was just giving some reasons for why people would want to be wholesome and positive since you asked. Personally, I can't stand the self-righteous people who make it their selfish purpose in life to feel like they need to...

    But don't you know that requires actual critical thought instead of blindly devouring their propaganda of choice?! You want people to actually use their brains?!

    Opinion that is Unpopular

    You get to spread the joy to other people and, if you really love something, wouldn't you want it to succeed even more by spreading its name and what's so great about it? Show that shit off, fam. Not to mention that being positive makes other people feel more positive and basically creates a...

    Unpopular opinions on Amazon Banning Light Novels

    Reminds me of the good ol' days where the biggest boost that Royal Road ever gave to my Patreon was by removing my smut story from their platform. :blob_uwu: Heck, getting "censored" is good for sales these days pretty much regardless of medium. How do we know that theses businesses aren't...
