    What are your honest thoughts on harem stories?

    I guess there are existing target audience for this kind of narratives, with all that male loneliness stuff etc. But it's kinda a predatory thing, right? :cautious: A quick fix for those people who want to read something warm and comfortable? As long as they are aware these kinds of...

    Love has many forms and applications. It is not necessarily a good thing, but it is still vital.

    Writing Prompt The lore of your Narrator

    It is an extradimensional spirit of chaos who invades points of view of the characters of the narratives and relays the events in his own voice... But sh-h-h... don't tell that to anyone.

    What does the phrase "going pass human's physical limits" mean to you?

    Have any of you take advantage of using the glossary?

    It reminds me of those old books that showcased the list of entire 'cast' before getting into the meat of the story I might someday! Why not? Seems like fun. Can't help to shake off a feel that it will spoil the narrative a little bit, but whatever

    The first chapter problem

    Most of my current work is a slow-building thriller that opens with something exciting, then leaves the reader in the dark for a little bit, then slaps in an action scene, then draws out suspense, and so on and on... From my experience most people bail on 15k chapter that attempts to more...

    Is ScribbleHub a good platform for slower, character-driven xianxia?

    Oh, I vibe with that style of narrative. Love it! Should read up on it, thanks! Not sure that it's good for fanfiction though, but you should first and foremost pursue what you're passionate about, not others. Can't offer a lot of insight on the matter since for me it's more about expression...

    What do you think about average reading comprehension

    I might be biased, but general manga readers doesn't strike me as people with high reading comprehension Your average adult these days seems to be a person with symptoms of ADHD who simply wants to be distracted for a little while and reads only for pleasure. Don't go too tough on them

    Epic Heroes: Do We Like Them?

    I bet people have only vague understanding of what a proper epic hero does for the story. There's some idea that it's some larger-than-life unrealistic, or as someone penned here, simplistic person that acts out what do-gooder is supposed to. But no. Not really. The ancient examples you're...
