From what I have read and seen: The data about the non-native detection being much higher than native is true. This is likely because of a much higher usage of software such as Grammarly, pro writing aid, and other grammar and spell checkers. Why is this relevant? Because these are powered by...

Love it when both sides manipulate their study's data to generate outrage and controversy.

Self pub won't give you the 20-40k USD advance though. And some aren't going to be comfortable handling the marketing nor the expenses of hiring an editor and cover artist.

I think you're thinking of tradpub. That's not for LitRPG, Isekai, Xianxia, etc. At least not yet. Also tradpub really sucks, royalties are horrible, etc. I'm talking about Aethon/Podium/Timeless Wind/Mountaindale/Wraithmark/Tantor/Royalguard, etc. All these publishers will put your book on...

Your publisher is going to require you go on KU if you write in a KU genre though, so some authors aren't going to have a choice.

It doesn't matter if it is 'alright' with readers. Some will be salty and you'll get backlash, but if you want to make a living from your writing instead of it being a game/hobby, you need to monetize, and the audience/income on amazon can be much larger. You're looking at 5-6 figures for...

Congratulations! You're new power lets you alter your DNA! You make one change thinking of all kinds of cool things you can do now, and bam you're entire body is breaking down because making that one letter change in your DNA caused a cataclysmic chain reaction in the 3 billion base pairs...

I've seen a growing number of people posting unedited GPT-4 generated stuff on Scribble Hub. I am not sure if they realize how easy it is to spot the AI's voice, or if they think the (not)effort is really actually pleasing.

1) Know what I am writing before I start writing 2) Write it 3) Profit! Can skip 1 and 3, but then 2 takes a long time. 1) is usually done via drafting a very barebones beat plot of events, but I have to be careful because if I detail things or lock things in too much then I will choke myself...

Its really no wonder people aren't having as many babies in certain countries as before, society is fucked up beyond recognition and its dangerous to interact with other humans in general.

If you don't like the word 'shadowban' then you can replace it with 'algorithm banned' or 'algorithm killed' or whatever suits your fancy. There is an exponential decrease in your ability to reach those ranks as you approach the arbitrary cutoff. That's a shadow ban in my book.

Once you hit a certain number of followers you're shadow banned from hitting the front page trending. Almost all discoverability after your first few thousand followers is from tag rankings and being on lists. So the site's discoverability is skewed toward new stories and stories with popular...

The rules are very clear on the Age of Consent and specifically specifies the age near the beginning. Age of Consent - The age of consent is 18+. This is referring to the real age of the character. Any sexual content between characters must abide by this age of consent. Please take some time...

I want a burrito now. I'm hungry.

Their contract assigns them your copyright, forever. If you don't produce, they walk away with your IP. Its extremely bad and predatory as others here have already stated. (I just want to repeat it so its hammered in and hopefully new authors see it and don't get taken advantage of.) Even...

Anyone who writes 'makes a draft' because a draft is just a version of the writing. So when you create something, the first version is your first draft. Whether that goes through further refinement (second draft, third draft, etc) or becomes the final is up to the author.

For me, it just felt like a wall. I stared at the text for literally hours some days reading the first chapter and just... drawing a useless blank. I got full of frustration because of that and every time I'd go to try and get started again my mind would wander and I'd end up wasting a lot of...

My first drafts are usually quite readable. As someone pointed out to me, I learned to 'write' while doing roleplay. That included forum post-by-post roleplays, discord roleplays, etc. Usually one-on-one, multiple posts back and forth per day. Everyday for many years. With many different people...
