If it makes you feel any better, Tempokai said some similar critiques on my book, albeit not as vitriolic and honestly very insightful. My MC (Hajime) is more of a hero than yours but also bestowed with exceptional power, yet Tempokai didn't really see much of a problem with that compared to Lin...

[Beware the Horde] chapter 20 is about to release at 12:00 AM GMT+8. I wrote two expy characters whose source material might be obvious to some, and really, it's because the current arc is a parody of said source material. It rhymes with "Word Bart Online," if anyone wonders.

Because I needed something a bit more unique yet still mundane than the usual.

Well, since my prologue is about the protagonist's life before getting reincarnated, I suppose I can try writing an amalgamation of all my ideas. I can also flesh out his two best friends since they're supposed to be a couple, I don't know. It's common for an isekai prologue to start in the real...

This has been on my mind lately, but I'm quite conflicted on whether I should. The main premise of my story is "Prideful MMA fan gets reincarnated into an open world filled with billions of monsters at every corner." Think Vampire Survivors or HoloCure, only the protagonist is a blood-crazed...

[Beware the Horde] chapter 19 is out. https://www.scribblehub.com/read/1285692-beware-the-horde-isekai-litrpg/chapter/1336046/ I wanted to dabble on a little bit of nightmare fuel, especially grounding my MC into a situation he can't brute force his way out of.

[Beware the Horde] chapter 19 is about to release at 12:00 AM GMT+8. This one is once again longer than the others at 2k words, but I hope it's still not much of a big deal.

[Beware the Horde] chapter 18 is out. https://www.scribblehub.com/read/1285692-beware-the-horde-isekai-litrpg/chapter/1332100/ I finally explored on sadder themes instead of rushing them.

Excellent analysis, fam. You're right about Hajime not feeling like a well-rounded character in the initial chapters, and that's because I wanted to flesh him out more on the second arc, which involves travelling into a different game world for an important mission. You see, I want my story to...

I know, and writing always makes me happy. I also feel a bit happy when I get feedback in general because I get to come back with the criticisms they've given me. All in all, I'm just aware how things work in the web novel scene since I used to get 20-30 comments per chapter on Wattpad and AO3...

The way I see it is that RR review swaps makes it so that new readers will know if your story is worth checking or not. Again, you don't have to do swaps every week, and I learned that. Here on SH, it's slightly less meaningful because it's not like you can buy ad space here to promote your...

Yeah, they're just swaps I did in the past. I've been told it's just empty feedback in the long run, but review swaps are at least slightly more helpful on RR.

I anticipated this when posting on RR since I haven't bought any ad space, unlike the average 100-200+ views I get each chapter here on SH. Maybe I'll buy an ad one day once I publish 30 or 40 chapters or so. Readers there aren't interested in stories with little to no content unless it's an...

[Beware the Horde] chapter 18 is about to release at 12:00 AM GMT+8. This one felt pretty "weak" when I wrote it, but it does serve some emotional beats.

Yeah, that's what I said. I got another negative rating on RR.

I mean, I gained two followers, but I'm now down to 4 stars, and I wasn't given any explanation why they rated me so low. Take a look: Also, my latest chapter didn't have as much views as the last one (15 vs. 39). Then again, I gain more views on this site than there, so at least I'm only...

Even for my placeholder cover, which is just a Bing AI prompt until I can commission a real human artist, still manages to attract a reader or two each week. Sure, I typed a few fancy letters from Adobe Express for the bilingual title and my pen name, but that's one of the ways you can grab an...

[Beware the Horde] chapter 17 is out. https://www.scribblehub.com/read/1285692-beware-the-horde-isekai-litrpg/chapter/1329629/ I added some "filler" in the last half, but it's more like standard foreshadowing for a new character.

[Beware the Horde] chapter 17 is about to release at 12:00 AM GMT+8. I wanted to flesh out the protagonist in a less-heroic light and more on the pragmatic side of handling complicated issues. Gotta say, it worked pretty well.

Honestly, I don't know how this happens. I know isekai litRPGs are very popular in this site, but it's not like I'm writing Narnia or whatever, nor am I doing trends like adding copious amounts of smut for more followers.
