What have I seen in a harem story? Open Monster Girl Encyclopedia to a random page, almost certainly seen it, aside from the sea creatures and insects (and have seen some of those too) As to what I'd want in a harem? Foxxo. Kitsune, kumiho, huli jing, etc. Maybe a shoggoth and dullahan for...

Only possible choice is fox girls, kitsune, kumiho, huli jing, ect. Gotta have those glorious fluffy tails!

I'd say whatever you are comfortable with is the best. That said, readers can get annoyed by massive chapters and tiny chapters alike. If you barely write anything per sitting, just keep in mind that you can merge things to make a larger chapter. Likewise, if you sit down and spew out 10-20k...

A neat trick: expand the space inside of something, creating a hole. Quick and easy way to go through solid walls or safes/vaults. Best friend of thieves and assassins.

I'm not popular enough for that to happen, so... *shrugs* If it did, I'd prob feel like shit for a while, then my non-existent memory would forget they ever said anything, or even than they exist at all.

You could go with a non-standard pick, such as one that relies on magic rather than monsters, or has no control over the monsters. Or perhaps it can build very well, but cannot use magic or monsters, leading to intricate traps, shifting mazes, etc. For monster selections, I'd personally...

I agree with the idea as well, but expand on it, even if you don't fully explain it in-story. Why stop lust/wrath/greed/sloth/etc? A demon that wants to indulge itself will either take more time to respond to orders due to being busy, or might be distracted, significantly reducing their...

Like many others, I am against banning it, but fully in support of tagging it. Some stuff from AI is quite good, while other things are crap. But it is best to have people decide if it is acceptable or not, rather than ban it outright. If it is bad enough, people will not read it, or will...

Read more, and try some short writing based on writing prompts you find interesting. Starting and finishing a dozen short stories does more good IMO than continually writing one, even if that is what I do.

If fantasy is okay, you could check out my story, though it does have combat here and there, mostly with mutated wildlife. Just about to get into a more peaceful bit again as well in two or three more chapters.

I tried using my desktop, but it was far too easy to get distracted, so instead I use a laptop while laying in bed. That means either I get writing done, or I get some sleep, both of which I need to do more of.

Depends massively on motivation and how bad my depression is at the time. I can do 2k in an hour, or it can take two weeks. Unlike many others, I don't edit my chapters, though I do have someone else go through and point out any issues for me to fix, typically 3-5 per chapter, and often only...

I've probably spent multiple years worth of time reading over my life, and just started writing a while back. It may feel impossible at first, but the key is to just start somewhere and keep improving. I highly recommend not writing what you care about first, and instead finding writing...

Can confirm, also a weirdo. I have this strange addiction to foxxos, fox girls, fox spirits, and their glorious fluffy tails.

Unfortunately, I struggle with motivation as well due to extreme depression. Best advice I can give is to try your best, and don't beat yourself up if you can't meet your goals, especially if you manage to make any progress at all. Using writing as an example, writing a full chapter is great...

Personally, I hate when people don't mention who is talking, so I try to always include it, or at least reference it with he/she/they, etc. I can see both ways though, so I would say go with what you feel most comfortable with, but also listen to reader feedback if they say it is hard to tell.

Similar to what others have said, I would say to keep in mind that not everyone knows everything. You can have something occur without explaining what it is, what it means, or why it happens, then later on have the character that observed it question someone with more knowledge. Alternatively...

Very few things have shapeshifting as their primary trait, rather it is almost always just one facet of the many things that define them. My personal favorites are the various fox spirits, though those are more of a really damn good illusion than actually shifting. I'd say the ones I know best...

I try not to, but can't help it, unfortunately. On the plus side: I see a lot of horrible writing, which makes me feel better about my own. On the other hand, I read a lot of stories from very talented authors, which makes me feel horrible about my much lower quality. I very strongly agree...

Guess I need to start doing that. Except, blegh, effort and being social... As others have said, using popular tags/tropes will help, as will lewdity, and anime girls on the cover. Many people ignore stories without covers, which I consider stupid, personally, so you want to make sure you...
