    You're not alone; you care about the quality of your story. Happy rewriting. :blob_pout:

    Popularity is about algorithms and the market. Quality is about storytelling technique. Of course, I hope those two things can meet in one work, even if it's rare.

    Whether you think about taste or not is up to you. I'm simply judging what I read. Characterization and POV aren't about taste, but about storytelling technique. And yes, maybe I just happened to stumble upon those things by chance... there's no such thing as popularity being the same as...

    Now I'm pretty sure... popularity doesn't equal quality. Maybe I need to delve into new niche fiction to find hidden gems. :blob_melt:

    Okay. It's interesting. I'm getting excited. I read some popular fiction and was quickly disappointed because the narrative quality fell short of my expectations. The characters felt like chess pieces. Then I read some niche fiction and discovered something unexpected: the narrative quality...

    A common mindset mistake writers make is confusing narrative quality with popularity. Studying creative writing doesn't guarantee popularity, even if they graduate with a degree in literature. But it's entirely possible for them to write quality fiction (literary). Align expectations and...

    Today... I learned: reader validation makes your fiction more likely to be popular. However, author validation makes your fiction more likely to be worth reading. If a writer is chasing popularity, then do more market research, promotions and reader testimonials. If a writer is looking for...

    Sudden drop in views, Is this normal?

    By default, yes. Tag rankings are sorted by views. However, the order can be changed based on favorites, bookmarks, fiction status, and last release date.

    Just depressed.

    I can't help you... it comes back to you. If writing fiction is just a hobby, just enjoy the process. But if your goal is something other than a hobby, you know your needs better than me. :blob_melt:

    Writing Overthinking thumb dislocation?

    Honestly, causal readers won't care much about these kinds of details as long as you have a consistent internal logic to the story. Yesterday... I watched a Chinese martial arts drama. The protagonist was robbed and bound hand and foot. His escape was unexpected: he let a bandit slash him with...
