    What was your favorite story that an author dropped?

    Melas. Worse yet it was shipped to Amazon. New chapters were removed quickly after being posted giving little time to catch them. If you missed it, oh well. Now I think it’s on hiatus but with new chapters being removed I genuinely might have just missed them. I liked it because it was...

    Megalist of Sci-Fi Tropes That Scribblehub LOVES or HATES

    Though I am seriously considering I just might not have read the right novels leading to my current opinion. I’m referring to a small subset of all sci-fi novels with this. And I think most novels where the main character is an AI do acknowledge stuff like limitations in a perfectly fine...

    Since you thought that was long winded let me give you a present ;)

    Megalist of Sci-Fi Tropes That Scribblehub LOVES or HATES

    It really depends on the execution. Some stories have it as people go in mecha and then fight each other in space. Others have them as just tools for something like mining or moving. It’s just interesting to me because at times they can feel just as bad as using melee when lasers exist and...

    How do other sci-fi authors gain readers?

    Write it in the description somewhere. Beyond the amazing tips above consider more platforms. RR and scribblehub are great, but they are only 2 of many. Try to have a main site (or a few) and link it in the description or mention it if they ban links. Maybe you post 1-2 chapters more there for...

    Megalist of Sci-Fi Tropes That Scribblehub LOVES or HATES

    Somehow didn’t know about the tilting phones showing that. Makes sense, but it still bugs me. I also do think there is some potential. Something that avoids or becomes invisible to the basic scouting drones and then starts hunting when the landing crew feel they are safe. Or having spacecraft...

    How do you write a good litrpg?

    Not quoting as I’m on a phone rn. Spoiler again to save space.

    Megalist of Sci-Fi Tropes That Scribblehub LOVES or HATES

    You went through all this work and didn’t link your story either in this tread or the other one I saw. Link please. I also wonder how people feel about the lack of unmanned and fully autonomous spacecraft. Feels like a lot of stories just have the AI be limited or say they had a rebellion and...

    How do you write a good litrpg?

    Sure. I'll counter cause I got nothing better to do and it seems fun. Spoiler again to minimize space. [/SPOILER]

    How do you write a good litrpg?

    TLDR: You don't need to try and explain systems. Keep it simple and focus on stats, classes, and skills especially if it's you're first time. You can always expand or revise your system later when you have more experience or help. Try and focus on character depth and not having everything go...

    I forget the name of the novel...

    Don’t remember dragon kin but it might be this. Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru aka Magic in the other world is far too behind. WN LN

    The First Chapter of A New Series=Pt. 1

    The agency doesn’t need to appear in this chapter. It just needs to appear at some point at the end of this school terrorism event. As for depth, it’s showing thoughts and emotions. In the first version, there are moments where she has to psych herself up like “C’mon Hanna. You can do it. Just...

    The First Chapter of A New Series=Pt. 1

    I don’t think it’s either really an improvement or a degrading. Simply different. Again, completely good writing. Better than I could do. Just minor refinements. The line about most teachers and students being in home room is kinda redundant. Home room implies that most of the teachers will be...

    The First Chapter of A New Series=Pt. 1

    Truthfully, I don’t know. I don’t think there’s any rule with how you have to start a story. And the start you have is completely fine. It’s such a minor thing that she could just mention it in conversation in a later chapter or not mention it at all. Something as simple as “Luckily I was going...

    The First Chapter of A New Series=Pt. 1

    This may come off as nitpicky, and I am sorry for that. Overall it’s great.

    To someone who knows about economics

    Okay the prompt was crashing this fake economy that has minimal if any rules so far and has been mostly joked around in replies. I think realism was not the most important thing from the start. I thought I made that clear with how I wrote it and the one above it. Your whole disagreement is...

    To someone who knows about economics

    I kinda agree but what if no one wants to trade back? That was my thought. Like great you have the option but if no one wants to buy s coins at normal price because someone is offering to sell there’s for less. Then add on that guy losing money for a crash, what if he bought all at once or near...

    To someone who knows about economics

    I studied economy in HS. I got this. Probably. First you have no quality control so some writer will likely scam someone paying for 1k words. This could be done by using an ai, speed writing and ignoring any issues, or just not delivering. This will likely only be a one time trick effective on...

    I'm an ameteusrafas

    Overall it’s pretty decent. I’m not a good critic but I’ll give you what I got. Add more tags. You only have wuxia. As a reader, tags are one of the easiest ways for me to decide if I’m interested. If I see tags I like, I might decide I should suffer past the semi-common unrefined first chapter...

    Idea Discussion

    I’ve had 2 ideas I’ve longed to write or read yet lack the skill and willpower to. Also not a writer but maybe someone can gain some inspiration or something.
