    My story got stolen... and its kinda dumb.

    In my case, I just searched for LitRPG's and filtered to only english books, the pirate was on the second page already. The name made me suspicious and when I read through the sample, it really was mine. On Amazon, pirates often use the same pattern: AI Artwork, white letters with low opacity...

    My story got stolen... and its kinda dumb.

    Yeah, I just filled out some infringement form and hope that does something. Also reported twice through different means.

    My story got stolen... and its kinda dumb.

    I'm not going to go with a lawyer, I will just hope Amazon does something. I provided them with links to my original work and I hope this does something. I just went through it a bit and found quite a lot of "suspicious" books. I would advise every author to just go an check once, since it seems...

    My story got stolen... and its kinda dumb.

    Today, I browsed Amazon and found a book called "Finding Oneself". TL;DR: It is my story "Misfit's Journey" just given a rough AI overwork. Even the character names are the same. But the idiot who stole it called it an Isekai, even though it isn't and the story isn't even finished, so it just...

    You are locked in a room with the MC of the last series you've worked on for 24 hours...

    I would probably just get killed? In some very unpleasant, horrible way... sounds about right.

    Scrapped ideas

    Does it? Never played that. But aren't the Tony Hawk games popular? :blob_evil_two:

    Scrapped ideas

    My original idea for my story was that there were a bunch of isekai guys and girls who would be summoned into a white space, each of them would be given a color and then they would reincarnate in another world. They would need to fight each other and spread their colors in the white canvas...

    Do you listen to music when you write?

    I write with music, changing it around to fit the atmosphere.

    My novel cover

    looks good. think having a different font and coloring for the title/author might make it a bit better, but that's just personal taste. Definitely catches the eye though.

    More myth

    Would recommend to check out German folklore. Has many interesting creatures and monster, connects to germanic paganism and old norse mythology. Even "The Witcher" borrowed some of our creatures or concepts (like the Wild Hunt). Some also may be familiar with the "Walpurgisnacht" or the...

    Politics

    You are in the Internet, there is barely anything without a market for it. Also, when writing a story, the most important thing is if you even want to write it. You should always put yourself first, because it is hard to make people enjoy something if you can't enjoy it yourself. As long as you...

    What are your characters' flaws?

    holy sh*t. I have been looking for your story for months (or a long time), wanted to read it, but forgot the name and obviously did not know plot or character names, so could not ask anyone and now you are here, this is like, so random. Think you just cured my boredom for the evening

    Anyone using "serious" cover instead of anime girl?

    I don't think an anime girl cover is bound to be "not serious". Looking at the cover of your story, I think it is perfectly fine. I agree that barely clothed, big-breasted, legs spread can be a turn down for some, but for your story, that is not the case at all. Personally, the most important...

    Have you ever veered off from your initial idea so hard that you need new outline?

    In my case, my side character turned into the main character, while the og main character has been entirely removed from the story for now. Basically, I wrote an entirely different story, even though it is still somewhat connected to the original.

    So uncolorful; so colorful

    Actually a hard question, but for it would be... ...Fairies or Fae or any variant name you might have for them. Generally just not that interesting imo. ...Demons that are only written as non-humans, but are basically humans. ...Gnomes or Halflings. Can't explain why. Maybe I just dislike...

    How'd you get your start?

    Had a point where all novels/LN/WN etc. just felt unsatisfying. One day I decided that if the story i am looking for doesn't exist, I would just need to create it myself. Been a year since then and three months ago I finally started to upload my first chapters online. Never've been a reader as a...

    First experience

    Something that helped me a lot to find motivation to keep going were the lecture videos of Brandon Sanderson. Just look up on YT "Brandon Sanderson Lecture" and you will find a gold mine of writing advice. This is, of course, just my opinion, but I definitely recommend you to watch them. The...
