This is basically how the superpowers of Worm work, mental illness and trauma turned into powers. Also kind of the plot of Lobotomy Crop and Library of Ruina, where mankinds illnesses and fears become manifest as weapon or creatures.

I mean it can be romantic but if anyone will want to read it is a different matter

If it’s consensual sure, anything can be.

Just make them kind of a dipshit about some things. It’s relatable and fun.

Smut readers expect consistent smut. If you just do it as a one off you won't really get the audience and you'll lose people who don't like it. Build the story round the smut or leave it out.

I usually struggle to stop my MC's getting killed, the lovable dipshits.

Doesn't need to be a full side series, it's just a dumping ground for anything that isn't the main story.

I only had a really brief look, but I think I might see the issue. Scribblehub is a very Light Novel / Young Adult heavy site, and your stuff reads more like Sanderson Epic Fantasy. There is a market for this (I love the Broken Earth series and anything by Anne Leckie myself) but the audience...

Some links to your work would help

Make a separate series and link to it in the author note at the bottom of your main series chapters so people know it exists if they want to read more.

If it's not too late, cheat and do what I did. Make emotions part of the System. There's no rule that a System has to be dry and numerical, hell you'd make your story a lot more unique and interesting if it's not. All system novels could benefit from working out what you want the story to be...

If there’s also a smut tag then yes, otherwise no.

It is for the first I couldn’t even be bothered for the second.

This is a lot of words to say “The author makes a framework and the reader has to use their imagination to fill in the gaps” Assholes like this are why art gets such a bad reputation. What authority are you on writing if you write nearly incomprehensible garbage like this?

I write lots of those! But it’s not hard to also make them serve the story while you’re doing it.

Tying fight scenes to plot doesn’t mean it has to be a big, thematic showdown, just that every fight in some way advances the plot It can be a small personal development.“MC realizes they have a weakness”, “Defeats a monster they couldn’t before” or “MC finds it so easy they decide to push...

My tip is to start at the moment your plot gets exciting. Got a cool idea for a plot? Start there then, people will drop your story hard if the first chapter is just your character dicking about in their daily life wishing something cool would happen.

I got 1.5k readers and one review. Bar begging for them people don’t review

I do pretty much this, but in my world, it's because forming deep relationships is the only way to have kids and unlock superpowers. So sex is encouraged by society, or society won't be around for long. Though honestly, there's no reason it couldn't just be a world where sex is very casual...

Just write, just get stuff down on the page. You can fix it all after you’re done. Don’t worry about perfecting the first part, build the framework before worrying about the paint job.
