Also make sure you actually posted a chapter. I don't believe stories show up until you post your first chapter. You may think your chapters are posted, but if they say draft, they aren't. Also, there's only like a handful of moderators. And all of them do this for free, since this site doesn't...

I'm currently at work. But I'll read and give feedback to the chapters later. Right now, I'll give some insight into the synopsis. Which is already great, but we can make it better. It's clear it's not machine, so that's great. Between the first three sentences and Alara, I'd suggest starting a...

Well, first, let's point out things you did do right. Your cover art is good, and you have a lot of tags, which means your story is findable, that's good. The bad things? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing you're using machine translation and copy and pasting. Because it shows in how...

Okay, so I'm noticing some conflicting info here. While you say important events happen here. You say here it's just an introduction to certain motivations. The issue here is that what CharlesEBrown said is your best solution here. If it's only to introduce people, theres no point in making it...

A lot of those hundred-chapter-long novels also has to do with contracts that the writers sign with a publisher like Royal Roads or Webnovel, which dictates they need to reach a certain word count before they are allowed to end the series. This is usually super high for massively popular...

To be fair, that's because the taxi meter measures time instead of distance. You're literally charged by how long the driver can keep you in the cab. It's why you see in some movies or shows the cab driver says, when the MC goes inside and has the driver wait, "I'm keeping the meter running!"...

Unfortunately not really applicable in the US. I'm assuming this is in your language and country. I've seen some multicultural media that says to call them 'driver' or 'mister' or some other respectful title. In the US, though, you just get in the taxi. Calling the driver anything from 'bud'...

No worries. Dialogue in the middle is 'proper' but it should be rarely done. And text before and after should only be a sentence or two. For example: Nick met Juavae on the street. Waving to each other, Nick asked, "How was your day?" "How was your day?" Nick asked Juavae as they passed each...

Yeah, that's a good one. I constantly do that. So it's good advice.

So I've said a few of these in the other post, but I'll go into more detail here. First, your upload schedule. There's no pattern to it. Webnovels are not like fanfiction. You'll lose more readers than you gain with an inconsistent upload schedule. Second, and this is even more important than...

Yeah, there's a section for it, but you can just ask for feedback and post the URL to your story. There'll be people who will give you honest feedback.

That's actually bad advice. The readers opinions do matter if you're doing it as more than a hobby. I have a saying. "Write for yourself, then write for your readers." See that. Despite saying write for yourself, the readers are still a factor. That's because they're who your writing for. But...

First of all. If you aren't writing for more than a passing interest or hobby, then inconsistent scheduling is fine. If you want to make a career out of it, your readers want consistency, proper editing, and a good story layout. All of which the pinned forum posts for beginner writers can...

Mine aren't nearly as supernatural. Apparently, I might have a newly recently coined symptom of autism called Hyperlexia, or an above-average reading ability, despite all of the early brain damage I most likely suffered. My dad worked IT, so we had computers in the house. And being 2000...

feels like this guy is covered in grease with that lighting, but I can't complain. I'm too impatient to shade properly. This is definitely good enough to already market. I've seen people commission worse. you'd be surprised at how many greats use mouse and keyboard. I personally don't know how...
