Anti-cake Dungeon Delving is now complete. The end snuck up on me, just as the story was slowly getting on the rails. I hate it when the stories get on the rails. If you can predict what happens next, then, so can the reader. So, I decided against writing filler chapters, and ended at 118 chapters. Around 125k words, I think. I am happy I still had long stories in me. For quite some time, I thought that my creative juices could be enough only for short stories and novellas. But Anti-cake Dungeon Delving proved me wrong!

That said, so far today, I have written just, 2997 words. Hm, I need to start writing something new to finish my quota.

Congrats, keep going. It feels good to write different stories. I tried to write some stories while I was away from my smut story and didn't receive the same amount of readers even if I feel that I'm better at writing other genres than smut. I've received a ton of comments telling me that I'm dehumanizing to my characters in my smut story and that it's literal garbage while my fantasy story received good ratings from the select fews that read it.

And yet the smut story receives 10x the amount of views of the story I'm most passionate about (It took me a few weeks to write this story so far while it took me about two years to write the other one). And that's even if the smut story has a lot of filler, considering that it's mostly a slice of life story.

I feel that the barrier of entry is way lower in Erotica and that's kinda depressing. I feel that you should be getting way more views for all the work you've put in.
