    Is hinting at SA done to child too much?

    yeah that's the intended effect of that memory. The world in that story is quite fucked up.

    Is hinting at SA done to child too much?

    I might be dim, but 'his thighs still hurt' didn't connect me to SA. I would have thought that he was beaten or something if it wasn't for the title. But yes, I think it can be done in a more tasteful way than physical effect of the fact. Like in Tsukihime, a SA girl was described (in a memory)...

    Seeking Hardboiled Critique: Does the atmosphere hit hard enough?

    By this definition, OP's first chapter isn't even 'softboiled'. Read like the start of a slice of life smut comedy piece.

    Opinion on horror( or eeriness ) in my work.

    A nice piece of action with a little thriller, but not scary. Though this might just be me. Imo the 'horror' comes from the unknown and unseen. A 'horror' that you could see and converse with normally and disposed of easily isn't a horror. I'd be scared if I was Aegis in that situation, but...

    Free Developmental Feedback on Chapter One From a Seasoned Editor

    I didn't say there isn't any editor here though :blob_hmm: . I said that no editor would write a forum post full of spelling errors like OP did.

    Free Developmental Feedback on Chapter One From a Seasoned Editor

    Read your only other post on this forum. I don't think any 'seasoned editor', or just normal editor, would write like that. Sorry if I'm wrong but it just doesn't instill any confidence.

    Silent acceptance or vocal criticism--Which is better?

    I go case by case, based on whether I feel their comment is valid or not. I have a reader that can't seem to agree with many things my protagonist was doing (still, they stuck with the story despite the disagreement, so I'm grateful). Even so, I only changed the story when I feel like he had a...

    Frequently Asked Questions

    It's related to that, so I can post my schedule on my blurb, but I didn't think of an universal 'best time'. I was just trying to find a good time for myself.

    It was already quite suspicious when 2 of them popped up in the same hour, and both are new accounts.

    How 'set' does a posting schedule need to be?

    I see. I might consider changing it if I can free up some time, but for now I think 3 is enough. How many chapter did you have before you opened your patreon, if I may ask? I had like 10 chapters in the backlog but one busy week and I burned through them (when I tried doing once per day)...

    How 'set' does a posting schedule need to be?

    I don't have a Patreon yet, but what is Patreon stretch goals? :blob_hmm:

    How 'set' does a posting schedule need to be?

    Let's say the goal is to attract more readers. I know that posting once or twice per day is best, but I don't have time to do that. I have other works that involve writing, and when I tried to post once per day, I got burnt out. So maybe 3 times a week is good. But can it just be 3 times a...

    I too, have appeared on the 'Treading' list :3

    I'm sorry but I don't think I have any suggestion to give. I didn't do anything out of ordinary. Added some smut, posted the first 5 chapter with an hour or two in between each post, then one chapter per day for the next 10. Now I'm down to 2 chapters per week. No advertising or shoutout or the...

    Should I quit writing?

    I just assumed that he had another contracted work, though in that case you can just drop the 'failed' one and keep the contracted one.

    I too, have appeared on the 'Treading' list :3

    I was thinking that I saw someone who collects 1-star the other day, and you appeared :blob_hmm:. Thank you. I'll try not to. I suppose you just get used to it over time. I think that it'd be better if you can only rate a story after reading a certain number of chapters though.

    I too, have appeared on the 'Treading' list :3

    And got my first 1-star :blob_pat_sad: . Tbf I haven't seen any longer story without at least one 2-star, unless they only have a small number of readers. Still a bit sad to see though.

    I too, have appeared on the 'Treading' list :3

    Unfortunately, not number 1 of the treading list, but 2. Still, it's quite a pleasant surprise to be on the treading list at all for my first story with only 21 chapters:blob_hide:.

    #1 on Trending. Am I hallucinating or is it real?

    Good job :3. There're still 105 people better than me in Handjob, so I got my work laid out for me. :blob_pat_sad: (And also my ranking just changed to #103 in arranged marriage now. Guess I need to arrange more marriages).
