Generally a good parody only comes from someone that loves the genre they are parodying. When it comes from someone who doesn't it tends to come of as petty and spiteful and just isn't enjoyable. A good example is the cornetto trilogy by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. They parody various genre...

There is no real way to determine for sure whether he was or wasn't a samurai. There was no concrete proof for, but there are both things that could be sued to support and others that could be used to dispute he might have been one. In the end I would say it is more likely than he wasn't one...

I actually saw Ninja Scroll before I even hit my teens. I was just starting to get into anime and my father was trying to be helpful by downloading some for me to watch. Let's say it wasn't quite what any of us were expecting... At least there were indeed ninjas and scrolls.

I know for sure two of those aren't girls and two aren't wearing thigh high boots just stockings. At most one out of all four is both a girl and wearing thigh high boots.

I don't think anime fandoms are that out of the ordinary as far as things go. There are definitely more tame fandoms, like I'm sure the crocheting community is much tamer. However at the same time as others have mentioned there are plenty of things with much crazier fandoms too. For the most...

Technically probably Kimba The White Lion the 1993 movie. Though I wouldn't really count that as any introduction to anime. As for more standard introductions growing up they had a bunch of anime for kids on tv: Shin-Chan Pokemon(Most likely) Digimon Flint The Time Detective Medabots Dragon...

Anything under 3 isn’t harem imo. I would say 3-4 is small. 5-7 is medium. Over 7 is large. From a literary perspective when it goes beyond 7 it really tends to become much less interesting to me, because it’s just not possible to entertain the MC, the harem members, side characters and a plot...

They attract very different audiences so if they aren’t exclusive with the MC being the core of the relationships I wouldn’t tag it harem and would just point it out in the synopsis.

That matches mine too. Less than 10% of your audience will interact in any way whether that is commenting, leaving hearts or reviews. You’re really only going to see any of those with any frequency if your story becomes at least somewhat popular.

Mine is just a short list of bullet points of events I want the story to go through. It’s all very rough and I just figure the rest out as I go.

Without any wish/golden fingers/plot armour? No I wouldn’t. if I got those then of course I would, but really almost anyone would at that point.

The algorithm and audience here prioritizes chapter frequency over length. I would generally recommend not going below 1k words per chapter as around that point people start complaining about chapter size. I would recommend leaving them at 1k and focusing to getting daily releases and only then...

My best performing novel here is a fanfic. My worst performing one is also a fanfic. It just depends on the fandom and tags you’re writing for. Generally however I would say the SH community isn’t against fanfics at least.

As others have mentioned I would set a release schedule just a little lower than what you can maintain weekly and just slowly stock up chapters and schedule them out so that regardless of what happens you have a few chapters on the backlog in case real life comes up. as for patreon I wouldn’t...

I don’t know the exact things the algorithm looks for but it definitely seems growth based rather than purely audience size. If your amount of readers is staying steady at a high amount or growing slowly you won’t end up on trending.
