    I am not good with naming! I need a name!

    Depends on your novel setting. For Japanese setting Jinrou is a werewolf and kyuuketsuki is a vampire. Jinrou (人狼)=> jin = human and rou = wolf. Kyuuketsuki (吸血鬼)=> Kyuu = to suck, ketsu = blood, ki => ogre,demon With this logic...Kyuuketsurou This name kinda sounds like a blood-sucking wolf...

    As a reader, what do you find best in a novel?

    First of all, I love stories with nice world-building. They say the devil is in the details, and I do agree with this. I love it when a seemingly small detail later comes into play as an important factor. Or when you experience a 'eureka' moment as the last cog fits perfectly, making the gears...

    Is my advice right or there's something I lack?

    Got tired of this melodrama halfway. Conclusion: Boy A is an idiot, Boy B is a jerk, Girl is a slut. PS: I tried reading a bit more, but this sounds more fake than a cliche isekai story. So you are telling me that Boy B tried to hit the head of Boy A while Boy A had retrograde amnesia as a...

    How to make a proper Title and description

    I am a fan of short titles. As mentioned above, a few words that sound cool and point toward the idea of your story are enough. The Japanese summary-type titles are not my cup of tea. There is a summary, and there is a title; no need to combine them. The summary should be catchy but be careful...

    Search online and add a disclaimer and a link toward the place I found the cover, or draw it myself.

    Fantasy politics?

    If your story is kingdom building, I doubt you can go around the political part. That's one of the reasons I didn't write such a story. Overthrowing a kingdom should have mostly two ways: 1. Schemes and plotting. Finding allies from other countries and powerful individuals. Anyway, you go the...

    Reincarnated as...

    Goblin king sounds nasty. Being noble is fine, but the whole drama, infight about position and connections, and forced marriages suck. This choice really depends on the standing of the noble and the family mentality. If I am the third son and can live however I want, having the money and not...

    Litrpg Question

    I am not sure this is exactly what you mean, but something similar can be done with a table. Here an example: 1. Choose the table function in the editor. (one cell is enough, it can be enlarged to form the shape of the box) 2. While your cursor is inside the cell, click the table function...

    Recommendations BL novel

    There was a public poll, and BL seems not very popular with the audience here.

    I wanna request a book

    It would be great if you can clearly explain your thoughts. Maybe I am missing some backstory, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

    Recommendations BL novel

    Yes. CG has a lot of translated stuff, and the site is very easy to navigate and read. Follow the fishy above (@tiaf), she knows the best BL waters to swim in.

    Recommendations BL novel

    Agreement of Being Gay for 30 Days (not in SH, go to novel updates) Mostly fluff, with a bit of angst in the middle. Happy ending with 3 smutty chapters.

    Writing pacing sentences

    You seem bored and searching for someone to have a fight with. Sorry, but I don't have time to play with you. :blob_evil_two:

    Writing pacing sentences

    This is a good explanation. Although I wouldn't call it garbage just because you need to flex your mind and think while reading. Especially in academic texts, I don't think short paragraphs will work so well. You not only have to state a fact but explain in depth why that is the case. Perhaps, I...

    Writing pacing sentences

    1. I was just wondering why is everyone recommending short sentences and paragraphs. I have seen quite a few people do this. Therefore, I stated my opinion. Sometimes, I am troubled by my long sentences too. But leaving them long sounds better than just breaking them down. I believe that my...

    Writing pacing sentences

    But this doesn't sound good at all... I don't know about the common standard of web-novel readers, but I think we shouldn't belittle them to the point that we need to chew and spit out simple sentences. The same goes for the paragraphs. I personally don't understand why people always recommend it.

    Writing pacing sentences

    I am the same with the long sentences. I can't explain it well, but I have an urge to pursue a certain sound when reading. It is something like an intangible fluidity of the sentence that I unconsciously seek. This leads to forming long sentences, and sometimes I get intricate text, hard to read...

    Mirror Mirror. . . I forgot

    I think that harem, smut, and yuri are the most popular stuff here. I don't know how tight the censorship is because I don't really read smut here. I prefer AO3 for lewd works. But I am pretty sure you can freely write kinky sex scenes, and no one will point the finger at your face.

    Art Struggles

    Exactly! After I happily start coloring on a layer, it turns out that I have used the white brush and not the eraser on another layer. This leads to the sudden appearance of awkward white scratches, and I have to go down the layers to erase them. But, because I have lazy layering, I have to be...

    Art Struggles

    I will drop a comment as well... Anyway, I will share something I find super annoying. Not sure if it is just me, but I often forget to change the layers when I draw. In the end, all my layers have a mixture of line art/coloring/shading. Then it becomes a struggle to find what is drawn on which...
