??? You should be able to do it. Search for "Amazon KDP" on the search engine thingie. They'll get you to sign up (should be your amazon account, if not make one). Then you set up tax info stuff and bank account (I hope I've got that up to date, and it's not paying to some bank I no longer use...

Well, tbh, I've found alot of churches to be very welcoming as a trans person. Part of why I turned against the trans community, I realized they lied to me. They were pushing a narrative that just wasn't what I'd found at all. For the record, I'm played Green/Black and White/Black decks. They're...

I am sorry to hear that. I'm not just saying that. I am very sorry to hear that. However, I think you have misplaced blame. You are probably blaming me (and maybe God), when you should actually be blaming the doctors and the drugs. These drugs do cause painful and permanent side effects on the...

MKR, three students meeting at Tokyo Towers then getting beamed to Cephiro. Inuyasha, falling down a well. I also liked Slave To Reality and the Cave -> Door link. Hell, in Tales from the Reaper, my own "isekai" story had a prick who was angry texting in the street, and got in front of the...

What is funny is that his review was nearly as long as the chapter. As for your comments (which are also fairly long, but seem more positive), I'll read this and comment. So here's where I come from. As I say, I like to be understood. Grew up Christian, got caught up in alot of eastern...

I think what bothered me the most about it was that, having read only one chapter, they wrote on the book page (where everyone can see an unsightly 1 star review), not the chapter page where it only addresses the chapter they read. It's like the difference between a kid making finger painting...

Huh? That I shouldn't want to explain my writing choices? So if a writer like JRR Tolkien writes a long novel that they get rejected over, and the critics are like "Why make up languages?" don't you think Tolkien would be like "I wanted to use my knowledge of language to create a world around...

How do you do it? How deal with people who critique your work, when you can't have a civil discussion because they've blocked PMs and chatting? Like, you can't explain why you put this and that in your book because they are unavailable. Me, I want to be liked, even if it doesn't seem that way...

You're obviously not using the right publisher. Amazon KDP is free. They just take a cut from the publishing costs (they're print-on-demand). The downside is that you have to advertise yourself (though they have an ad service too) because it truly is self-published. You can save for that...

To be specific, can I find a crossdressing book where: The crossdresser falls in love with a girl (not a guy, please) The main character is not reincarnated/transformed into a girl The crossdresser is the main character or the main character's love interest I agree with you! Terry Brooks books...

You must calmly but firmly tell them "no more isekai."

That seems a shame. Like seriously, without creating an Original Character (do not steal), One Piece has so much potential to simply follow one of the other crews. Eustace Kid adventures? Sure, why not.

No, I totally get it. Occasionally, I like Isekai, but I think in the middle of watching Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu, I realized why I hat the genre so badly. Let's back up. The protagonist in this has only three cheats, most of which are reasonable: 1...

You forgot these types of trolls.

Trolls have green skin and rainbow hair (splice-up between Rainbow Trolls and D&D Trolls), and they have limb and organ regeneration. Ogres have brown skin and basically more related to giants than trolls. No regeneration but freakish strength. Oni have typically red skin, are Japanese, and...

And you know, feedback if you want. Though I suspect I know most of the feedback will be... It's too damned long, God, you're ranty, and of course... That's a few pop culture references and song quotes. And yes, it is a trilogy. Town of Winter and Tales from the Reaper were published...

I run a websearch then shamelessly edit the results.

I've had issues finding good books. So yeah, I write more than I read.

There was a book on creativity that talks about how alot of creative people fail because they wait for inspiration to come to them, or to hit them. But it said, that's not how these things work. You start doing, and the process tends to start itself. The only time you don't write is when...

I think it's okay to use AI for cover art, but it's too tempting to get ChatGPT to try to write it for you. I saw an AI-written war poem once, and it was rather lacking. Checked all the boxes for technical writing, totally lacked emotionality.
