A bit of advice

[LEGENDGOD1]

If you cant even put your review begging in the right sub forum you cant expect me to take you seriously. It cant also be harmful to your story ratings as proven by yesterdays shit show of a thread. The story started with a single 5star and a few hours later it had 5 more votes with with 3 of them being highly negative and the other 5 stars being pity votes.

I have a feeling that its for me.??

This is a piece of advice I've wanted to give to more than a few people over the past couple weeks. I won't name names. If I'm talking to you, hopefully you'll know it.

We're all supposed to be writers here. That means we think that we're skilled enough at writing that other people will want to read the stuff we write. Now, we all know that nobody's perfect. Everyone is going to make a typo or miss a comma now and then. But when you leave a post begging people to read and review your story, and the whole thing is a wall of text with barely any punctuation (if there's any at all), a third of the words are misspelled, and whatever's left sounds like it was written by Chatgpt while it was drunk...do you really think that's going to convince anyone to read your story?

So please, for the love of God, whether it's in the forums or on the main site, PROOFREAD YOUR CRAP BEFORE YOU POST IT!

i guess i will stop with that then ??

I go a little more far and say

STOP POSTING NOVELS FORUMS FOR VIEWS IN THE NAME OF FEEDBACK.

DON'T POST IT IN AUTHORS GENERAL, DON'T POST IT IN READERS GENERAL........FUCK IT, DONT POST STORIES IN THE SITES ANYMORE.

WE ARE OVERHAULING THE SITE INTO NEXT 4-CHAN

Oh yeah, I felt this pretty bad. Some readers are obviously just not here for feedback. Especially the ones that demand you read their whole story before reviewing. Claiming it 'picks up' later.

Well, 1. It doesn't matter, cuz readers will not read Chapter 2 if Chapter 1 is bad.

And 2. Humans repeat mistakes. If you have problems in Chapter 1, you will almost always have the same problems in Chapter 2 too,

And then there are some stories starting with infodumps and worldbuilding as their Chapter 1. Just no.
