Just teleport a ping pong ball straight into an opponent's brain. Instant win. The challenge with going for something like this is you're inviting the readers to think. So, you've got to be very smart and plug all the holes when plotting because your story will fall if readers spot something...

I use payoneer to withdraw from Patreon. Way less oppressive than paypal. For Ko fi, I think it's either paypal or stripe? Haven't tried ko fi, so no experience with stripe.

Here's the thing, fans of certain genres (litrpg for RoyalRoad) will rate stories of that genre highly even if the "actual" quality is lower. This isn't isolated to RR. There are many in SH who also auto-five genres they like. (That was my experience a couple of years ago, not sure if they're...

Ko-fi is better in every way, so many options, way cheaper fees, can even do the subscription thing of Patreon. But Patreon is more popular, so authors usually go for patreon rather than ko fi because readers are familiar with it. That was like a year or two ago. Not sure if anything changed...

This is just me, and many won't agree with me, but I don't like saying that many talented people don't work hard and waste away. Those are just stuff to make us, the untalented, feel better. Yes, a lazy ass talented person can waste away. But a hardworking person can't catch up to talented...

Because you said you were lonely lol. So, I (and probably the others) thought that you wanted external validation. What advice were you looking for? To be able to go on even if zero people read your work? As of now, I do not visits my dashboards or reply to messages or read reviews of my story...

Your question looks like asking one culture why their myths are that way, while your own myth is the "normal" one. The question should be why does eastern stories have people becoming gods while the west have gods and humans as separate?

Your goal should be (well, this is my goal; it could be yours too) writing in a way to "trick" people into liking what you like. Writing to market is easy, as you said. Writing what you want that's not marketable is lonely, as you well know. Well... think of how to be marketable without...

That doesn't sound like lazy though. Sounds more like a mental issue.

This is correct, however I don't see this happening from the way the chapter is written. Who is the pov character in the first section? A first, I assumed it was the blind man, but he walked away so it wasn't him. POV must be one of the children then, but not clear. Then in the next section...

This is actually Sad Hub, not Smut Hub.

- You can start with a stereotype group. Yeah, it's cliche, but that's the easiest start. You know, there's the funny guy, the tough guy, maybe add in a nerdy girl. - Then you can add in something more specific and will also give them life as a character. Maybe the tough guy likes to paint. The...

Just publish it. I don't stock chapters before publishing because I'll easily get disinterested. I use the fact that I already uploaded as a motivation to continue. If I stock chapters first, it'll probably take me months to even begin publishing.

I think that's more of a bad writing/planning thing (probably pantser sickness) rather than a question of listening to readers or not. You want X and Y to pair. You do it. It didn't turn out great because your writing sucks. Assuming it isn't a writing issue, the listening-to-readers problem...

Not sure, but I think there are just funny and unfunny people. Someone inherently unfunny couldn't just learn how to make people laugh through writing.

I have a story where the female MC has a monster transformation that eats people. And a spin-off that happens like 4 volumes later where there are gay things. XD I dunno if that counts.

I feel like normal MC is very common in webnovels. I've seen so many stories starting with an MC living a boring life, or that he's normal, etc. Many OP MC stories (and this is probably the biggest chunk of webnovels) have a boring, everyday, normal MC start. But when it comes to western...

Your question is whether Smuthub is real or not, as per your title. I answered why this is called Smuthub. Edit your title if you are only after "ratio of smut:non-smut". I was answering your question and being helpful. Don't change the topic here to suit your narrative. If you want to...

Scribblehub became Smuthub mostly because what's not allowed in other sites are okay here, so people go here. It's not that this is an erotica site. Rather this is a haven for webnovel smut writers not accepted elsewhere. Also, it's an ebb and flow of things. I recall threads cropping up every...

Well, this is smuthub, and trends come and go. Like there was a time it was genderbent MC. Same with RR. RR is OPMC and through the years there were several flavors, until settling on litrpg. And then when it came to litrpg, different trends also come and go.
