    One month in! How am I doing?

    My first month wasn't much different, and my second had a significant pick up. That's for SH, RR gave me the thumbs down on my first chapter. But I refuse to remove the breastfeeding scene; it's vital to the story.

    Opinion on selfish MCs.

    I like them, but not when they live at the expense of others. Run into someone dying on their travels? Meh, unlucky. Rob some poor old guy with a broken carriage? Prick. No me gusta.

    How many monster girls is too many?

    If you're happy writing them, people will be happy reading them. Writing characters you don't feel connected to blows, let people think you have a monster girl fetish.

    Why do less boys and men read?

    It's also hard to find something that's a good fit. I've re-read most of my favorite light novels because I haven't found something new that catches my attention. I'm on round 3 with spirit chronicles and the eminence in shadow.

    Why do less boys and men read?

    I didn't start reading for fun until my mid 20s. Mainly because it was hard to sit down and stay still until I got a bit older.

    How long until my story is listed? Day 2 I still dont see it.

    I searched and didn't see it, but it's easier to add it to your signature when asking things related to your story. Link below for instructions. https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/how-do-i-do-a-signature-thing.8389/

    How to write a good synopsis?

    I've also been thinking about my synopsis recently. It's true from the perspective of the MC, and the story is written from this perspective. But the world around him gets pretty dark compared to how light-hearted I make the synopsis sound. I've had some comments pointing that out, so it may be...

    Is Posting all at once bad?

    This is anecdotal, but I reorganized my early chapters and split them up significantly (from 16 to 60+). I was basically adding a chapter every 15 minutes for hours, and I never gained more readers/views. If you have a dump you want to throw on the site, I think it can be done if you set the...

    Story change - game-like mechanics

    Ty for the feedback and info, I set up a signature with the story link. But it's long, so I don't expect anyone to read it just to give feedback on my question. I don't think I'd do a system because that would imply a higher being putting it in place. But there is room for a mechanic that...

    Story change - game-like mechanics

    Hi everyone, looking for a little feedback (significant spoilers below). From the beginning of my story (OP MC Isekai), I've been excited about the upcoming arc. I'll be introducing my favorite character, and the world at large will be undergoing some changes. The world's magic enters a...

    Do you ever go back and re-write old chapters?

    I'm quite new to writing, and I've already significantly edited early chapters. I try to improve on bad habits I catch, but in a year, I bet I look back and want to rewrite them again.

    Do you ever overuse certain words?

    I overused 'before' terribly. I meant it as a way to move from one action to another: "He did x before moving to y," or, "he said x before his face crumpled." But it doesn't relate the two things; it's like using 'then' all the time. Instead of writing things as cause and effect, I was trying to...

    Have you ever thought, “What if my story never gets popular?”

    I really enjoy thinking about and writing my story. If I had 0 readers, I'd probably still work on it. Sometimes I'm tired and don't feel like putting a chapter out, but I wonder if someone is waiting to see what happens next, and I remember the stories I'm caught up on and how badly I want to...

    Where do you get inspiration for your writing?

    Frustration. I found myself getting annoyed at how characters in some of my favorite stories behaved. Then I thought about how I wanted these characters to behave, and that became an MC.
