    RoyalRoad- aka Censorship Road

    RR runs on nepotism. If your story is popular (translation: makes them lots of ad revenue) you can do and say whatever you want and face no consequences. I got banned for expressing opinions like "pornographic books shouldn't be marketed towards teens and tweens," which apparently some of the...

    Getting too complicated?

    I want to kind of combine Kelsier from Mistborn and Dalinar from Stormlight Archive as the base for his character. Kelsier because he's a lone guy trying to start a revolution against overwhelming odds, knowing that he has to become something more than human in the eyes of the people he's...

    Ai cover is the same as no cover

    Professionally drawn covers cost money. Money is something most people don't have a huge abundance of. AI generated covers are free. If you're not willing to pay for the author to commission a cover, you shouldn't be allowed to complain about the AI cover they use instead. EDIT: This only...

    Getting too complicated?

    Does anyone else kill their own enthusiasm for a project by making it too big before they even start it? I've been talking a lot about the superhero litrpg I want to write. Before I start writing a story, I always want to make notes, build the world, and plot out where I want the story to go. My...

    More short chapters or fewer long ones?

    I ask because everyone says the best way to gain readers is to have constant updates. On RR, you're not even supposed to start uploading until you have 20,000 words ready to go all at once if you want to get onto the Rising Stars list. But I don't have the time to write enough 2000+ word...

    More short chapters or fewer long ones?

    As readers, what do you prefer in a webserial? One that updates more with shorter chapters, or one with longer chapters that updates less often? Say, one that updates five days a week with 500 word chapters, or once a week with a single 2000 word chapter? Or maybe somewhere in between, with two...

    Worst antagonist archetypes?

    This is only sort of related, but I hate it when the hero gets into a fight with someone who clearly outclasses them, but they win anyway because "the villain was too overconfident/underestimated the hero/was being sadistic and wanted to draw things out/etc." In and of itself that's not a bad...

    What'd you get for Christmas?

    Anybody get anything cool for Christmas? My sister got me Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson and her husband gave me $50, which I used to buy Skyward Sword on Switch. I got my sister a couple outfits for this goose statue she's really excited about (which I guess is a thing?) and I got her...

    Webnovel Reader Age?

    Here's something I've been wondering. Does anyone know what the general age of webnovel readers are? Are we working more with an adult audience? Kids, teenagers?

    Heroes and Bad Heroes

    I've spent the past week or so coming up with characters for the superhero litrpg I want to write. Here are a few of them. What do you guys think? The good good guys: Archetype: he has the power to charge his body with energy. This energy enhances his physical strength, speed, stamina, etc...

    Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic (Switch)

    Of FREAKING course I would find out about this AFTER I've already spent my Christmas money! Just earlier this month, Atari released Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic on the Switch, which combines RCT 1 and 2 into a single game with 95 park scenarios (HOLY CRAP!!!) and 43 extra parks to use in Free...

    Stonefist?

    After thinking about this for a really, really long time, I think I've made my decision. Superheroes have a really negative reputation in this world because of the plague, and he wants to improve it. He also wants to show other heroes that even if they've done horrible things, they can still do...

    Stonefist?

    I like that one!

    Stonefist?

    That's the vibe I'm going for, but it's but it takes too long to say. And typing it over and over again would be a pain.

    Stonefist?

    I considered it, but I'm trying to move away from the "cool sounding word in another language" trope since I've used it in so many other stories already.

    Stonefist?

    Me: "I don't want a name that just sums up his powers." Everyone: "Here's a name that sums up his powers."

    Stonefist?

    I've been driving myself insane for the past few days trying to think of a name for the MC in the superhero story I'm developing. He has the power to summon giant fists made of stone from the ground, which then mimic the movements his real hands make. The obvious answer is Stonefist, but I don't...

    Funny Insults You Heard Someone Being Called.

    "You know how sometimes you'll go to the bathroom and it'll leave a smear on the side of the bowl when you flush it? You want it gone, but you're also feeling kinda lazy, so you don't want it so badly that you'll actually break out the scrubbing bubbles to get rid of it, and instead you just...
