New series

[Jun_Sakazuki]

I think we should make it a habit to support authors when they start new series. This means leaving comments, giving advice, and liking their recent chapters.

Lately, I've seen many new series that are good like Relics of time, I don't wanna die and Dream Realm walker, but sadly, they're not getting enough attention.

I'm worried the authors might stop working on them because of the low interest. Just like me, when I had my first story here. Not many people read it, and it made me sad.

I asked my online friends for review, and they told me it had too many unnecessary details, making it hard to read. There was also a troll who kept making new accounts to give it bad ratings. That was the final straw, so I ended up deleting it

I agree with supporting authors you like to read, but I am not supporting every new series.

Authors don't need low interest to drop something. Plenty of massive novels get dropped. Usually it is the opposite that is true. I have seen a lot of small writers with completed novels. If you like BL you should give @doravg comments and favorites for being a hard working cookie.

I tend to follow new stories I like similarly to a mother duck, liking and commenting often. Putting my bragging aside, that's a good idea but I'm not sure many people would be willing to do something like that, most seem to come on SH to consume, not interact

If we made a list of new series that authors want likes and comments on I would be happy to do so. I try to do it for people who request feedback

It's a great idea in theory, but you (and envy) already killed your own point. If you only support new novels by authors you like, then you end up going against the point of your original post.

Looking at this another way, I've got 35 novels that I've marked as "dropped by author". Of those, some were written by established authors with multiple novels/shorts while others were by newbies. My "might read" is currently at 255, of which roughly 1/2 are in a hiatus of half a year or more and a handful have been completed, maybe another 100 between 2-6 months on hiatus, and the rest seeing at least some updates. Meanwhile my currently reading list of 42 novels has 5 that are finished, 2 that appear to be dropped and 14 seeing at least semi-regular updates while the rest are on hiatus. Go through them and you start to notice that the smaller authors stick around and finish. The bigger or more prolific ones will disappear for a spell.

Now, in fairness to a few of them, they have some serious RL issues going on where they were forced to stop writing for an undeterminable amount of time. However, to drop those established authors is kinda silly if we're just as likely to get the same thing from people whose quality is yet to be determined. I'm not against supporting new authors, not at all, but writing is personal and if a new writer can't or won't stick it out then they aren't really worth supporting. This is doubly true for the writers whose sole purpose is gain views and praise, they don't need to be posting anything if they're going to stop because they received constructive criticism and decided nobody liked their writing.

This, I could get on-board with, but not a straight up comb through the new novels to find something.

Honestly, I personally feel a lot freer when the novels I write receive less attention.

It's a bit of a connundrum between feeling free to write whatever you want and receiving validation.

For example, my once most popular novel which I have written, Magic of Love, while not exactly a big hit, had an audience that I felt existed and I ended up derailing it into a direction I didn't enjoy and then put it on hiatus - I still have distant plans of rewriting it properly, but it isn't going to happen soon.

Now I'm writing a blog that like only Envy and Bot are reading, Envy cause we're pals and Bot because he's nice, and I feel like I have space to have fun for myself and not care what I write in it as much.

I personally leave a comment here and there, leave a heart - just enough to let the author know I'm there and let it be.

I think there's probably over 20 new series posted every day to Scribblehub?

Reading and commenting on every one of them, even once per series, would be a pretty serious time commitment.

Understandable, but there are too many new series, so I only read some genres that I like. After that, I provide feedback and like the chapters

The tags. Psychological and Tragedy. Sorry :T

Just read 1 and 2 chapters there is no psychotical and tragedy

Really? ?

 

[Jun_Sakazuki]

Really? ?

Yes
Edited: wait i described only "he got bullied" does that count as tragedy?

 

[dummycake]

Yes

I'll believe you...

 

[Succubiome]

So, um... people rely on tags to get information on what they'd be interested in or not at a glance.

Intentionally and blatantly mistagging stuff probably won't get your writing more views/comments/etc in the long run, and certainly not more positive ones.

 

[Jun_Sakazuki]

I'll believe you...

Wait wait wait Is this considered a tragedy genre?

Quietly, Dearil made his way to his room. Throughout his school days, he endured relentless bullying, enduring both verbal and physical torment. He would suffer beatings and endure mockery at the hands of his peers. Sadly, even at home, his father would subject him to physical abuse, unjustly blaming him for his mother's untimely passing.

In an attempt to escape the constant mistreatment, Dearil sought solace in browsing the internet. However, the unrelenting abuse took a severe toll on his self-worth, transforming each day into an agonizing nightmare.
