    I need help with a few things.

    Though both are correct, using a comma provides a clearer separation between the actions in this particular case.

    Doran jokes as he ducks from one of Ammar's slashes -> Doran jokes, ducking from one of Ammar's slashes

    Why do my chapter view counts not decrease linearly?

    It depends on how catchy the name of the chapter is.

    I made a Scribble Hub reader

    I think you should add a screenshot of the user interface to the README.md. It will give potential users a quick glimpse of what the app looks like and could help generate more interest.

    Force authors to use proper aspect ratio on their covers

    Not everyone is good with computers. Not many people know what Photoshop is, let alone the aspect ratio of an image. Some have sight issues and just can't do it. However, all these individuals share a common desire to express themselves through writing. All they have is an image, most likely...

    Imagine Fantasy creatures as realistic as possible, without any mana and magic bullshit. They are not lovetcarft horrors with unexplainable powers.

    I doubt any fantasy creatures, even hordes of them, will stand a chance against modern militaries. Most countries do not even spend 2% on their armed forces, but imagine what a 40-60% budget will look like if an existential threat arises.

    Writing Need some advice on [Indifference to Empathy]

    I'd make it personal for the monster. I'd tell a backstory about how he spent all his life in loneliness and was perfectly comfortable this way. But one day, he meets a girl, a really young one, the kind that makes you feel better with that toothless smile of hers, freckles, and ringing...

    I need the most pretentious name ever.

    Sir Bartholomew Poopybutthole von Badminton of the Great and Glorious Kingdom of Cheesewhizzle, the first of his name, the unsoiled breaker of hearts, the widow-maker, bearer of the Flaming Rubber Duck.

    Worst Writing Trope

    Whenever MC gets OP, I lose all the interest in the story. This is especially true when MC hides his powers and allows himself to be bullied, only to show in the end how superior he is. Bruh.

    Got 1 star because of a comment in forum.

    If the author wants to lose all the credit and respect of his readers by doing it, I have no problem with him trying. As I said, Reddit has had this system for almost two decades. It works just fine, giving you an idea of how valid someone's opinion is. We have come full circle. I've already...

    Got 1 star because of a comment in forum.

    I get your point. I am not asking to give authors all the control. I don't see how letting users downvote reviews if they disagree hurts them. On the contrary, all my suggestions improve their experience just as much: readers get a more accurate rating because more people voted, see how other...

    I do, too, but I don't see how those things hurt them.

    Got 1 star because of a comment in forum.

    Yeah, it's just a troll, and you were lucky enough to have evidence for it. Now, imagine if he hadn't let you know he left you a one-star rating. There's no way you would have done anything about it with how things work right now.

    Got 1 star because of a comment in forum.

    I like how, instead of demanding that the measures for protecting authors from one-star/review bombing be implemented, we just say, "Yeah, go ask Tony. He will fix everything." No, he won't. How can you distinguish a personal opinion from an intended trolling? Anyone can read the first few...

    Can we please add a "Stay on Page" function for the text editor?

    It happened to me as well. It sucks. Since then, I've been using a Chrome extension that automatically saves everything I write: Textarea Cache. To save space on your device, make sure to set a maximum age for your content in the settings. Mine is set to seven days. Additionally, while we are...

    I wanted to play Skyrim today

    Skyrim should work just fine with Win11. Mine does. Try updating your GPU driver and turning off all the overlays (Steam, Discord, and Xbox Game Bar). If it does start, I recommend installing Enderal if you are bored with default Skyrim.

    Front Page Visibility.

    It is strange how the current algorithm rewards authors for going on hiatus because it's the only thing that can reset your metrics and allow you to appear in trending. :blob_unsure:
