I would press the button if I could send this person to solitary confinement

i think everyone knows what you meant when you asked what a bad author is, clearly you’re not saying that they are bad people, only what makes someone suck at writing. to answer that, for me there’s a couple of indicators. a bad author is someone who doesn’t understand the tone of their own...

I think this, if well written, could be a really good story. I do have a couple thoughts though. firstly, the suicides couldn’t be a forgone conclusion. Maybe like 2 out of the entire group kill themselves right away. This would give you some time to write scenarios without there being a clock...

https://www.scribblehub.com/series/517867/the-marine/ A morally good MC despite not being a Gary Stu. There’s a small amount of parenting/adoption despite it mostly being an adventure fanfic. there’s more action in it as you go along, the first 50 chapters or so are before the MC turns 18…

If you like the premise, then why not put it out there with a note inspiring the readers to pick it up where you left off? If you don’t like the premise, then best to forget the whole thing.

I don’t know exactly how it works, but I’ve read in several different places that authors on Webnovel are paid by word count+views. And like, making more chapters helps with both those things.

The nationalism thing is what really soured me lately on newer CN/JP/KR novels, but they’ve always been flush with slavery/sexism (like a girl cultivator can be strong, but a girl cultivator is 99% of the time weaker than a boy if they’re the same level). The Chinese face slapping thing is...

The struggle doesn’t have to be physical. The MC could destroy all his enemies but still struggle with the environment/culture of this new world. maybe in this dark fantasy there are monsters and only nobility has magic. So the lower classes are subjected to all kinds of tortures. Well...

It’s the Healer. Followed closely by the Tank. Then it’s the DPS (whether Mage or Barbarian). Finally it’s the Rogue. Each of course is important, but unless the party is way over leveled they are going to die without the Healer.

If it’s a fan fiction, just do it, i’d love to see the original fanfic author try to take that case to court (it would never happen). If it’s an OC (especially one with few chapters) and you can’t get in touch with the author, just rewrite some things and change key names. Never mention the...

This is true, but I would argue that clothing/hair styles in most futuristic settings (like Hunger Games) are utterly ridiculous. Also, though clothing has gotten better (meaning like how many stitches can be done with modern machines), people wear basically the same hairstyles as they always...

I don’t want to be mean but you’re looking for validation after one 1200 word chapter then I have no interest in your work because I know you will not put the effort in to finish it.

There are good fanfics, a couple of them expand the world they’re in which is kind of cool. but yeah, there have been a lot of fictions coming over from webnovel.

I like fanfics, again, my point was not to disparage them or talk about patreon in general. It was the single point that in a work were the webnovel author steals everything, including the cover art, it bothers me that they write down that they ‘own’ their OC’s. (Like all that other stuff is...

I feel like my initial point has strayed, patreon doesn’t bother me, or fanfics in general. What bothers me is that in many fanfic synopsis, where the webnovel author has completely stolen everything from the original creator, they make the point to say “the OC’s are mine.” This irony does not...

ok, so again I’m not a lawyer, BUT Just say I wrote a super popular Dragon Ball fanfic. Say I got millions and millions of views and had a patreon page which made me a lot of money. Then say, due to my success I had a artist draw my OC in the same style of the Dragon Ball anime and then sold...

Ok lol, this is my opinion though I’m not a lawyer. Akira Toriyama owns Dragon Ball, and he can merchandise Dragon Ball characters. If I made a Dragon Ball fanfic, I legally could not merchandise them as Dragon Ball characters. So, to see when someone claims to ’own’ the fanfic original...

Yes, I know what OC means lol. Here is the thing, many fanfics have patreons where the webnovel author is profiting (or trying to profit) from the original copyrighted work. I‘m highly skeptical ‘ownership’ means anything for fanfic original characters. If I made a fanfic that used every OC...

When I look at a fanfic’s synopsis and it says something to the effect of “I own nothing in this story - besides the OC’s”. Then typically is the common “the image is not mine, I’ll remove it if the artist asks.” What really bothers me is just how many people add that they ‘own’ their original...

I can’t speak for the story itself, as literally no Plot has happened in the 4 chapters besides the kid/creature being rescued. I’ll also probably not read it in the future because I’m not a fan of BL novels, and most especially BL novels involving young boys. With that said, the first 4...
