    How do you describe something to make sure it's not too wordy?

    In my opinion, it depends on what you're writing and how fast the plot moves. But, you probably don't need that much information. If you want to imagine how the characters experiences actions, thats fine, but all the information isn't needed for the readers. Extend only the moments that are...

    What’s Made You Drop a Book?

    I drop loads of novels that contain yuri. I dont have a problem with yuri on its own, but I dont like them in wish-fullfilment harem stories, kinda feels like light-ntr. Other than that, also drop a lot of stories that decide that to write emotional stories, you need lots of tragedies. Feels...

    Popular Genres?

    On this site, from what i've seen, two "factions" are really popular. Harem, Smut, Fantasy and Gender-bender (optional), Yuri, fantasy. There are mixes of course, but from what i've seen this what I would say is "popular". That being said, write what you want to write, if your only chasing whats...

    New story cover: The Doll’s Interrogation

    I would not free hand the writing at least. Other than that, more interesting background than just grey would also be a plus. The character is a bit rough, but it's interesting so probably wouldn't need to change it, as it may get people to check it out (could refine it a bit though)

    Are you more likely to read a story if it has 4.8 stars?

    I usually don't care about the rating if it's above 3.5 ish. Between 4.5 and 5 in rating, the amount of ratings matter more than the rating. And the reviews are more important than just "silent" 5 stars numbers. I always like having some reviews to read before and if a 4.5 star story has reviews...

    What's your reason for not reviewing a novel?

    I don't review much at all, but I might review to add information I think a reader might want to know. Don't give few stars though, if it's bad enough to take away stars, I just stop reading.

    Tragedy flag usage?

    Some people like tragedy, I really don't as I feel it makes the story feel more "worthless" in a sense. Not that it is, but when I'm worried about whether characters I enjoy reading about are gonna disappear, I don't want to and don't get as attached. This is of course not what every reader...

    The first chapter problem

    I disagree as a reader, stories that just go straight into the action can work, but when you want character development, having an understanding of how the character starts isn't a bad thing. The chapters where "nothing" happens, make the chapters when thing do happen, way more interesting. It...

    Is it NTR?

    On Scribblehub's tag list, it might not be, (https://www.scribblehub.com/tag/netorase/) as it includes the caveat that "If there's no evolution from unwillingness to infatuation, use "Adultery" instead." I would argue the way OP described their story, it is not as clear-cut. However, it doesn't...

    Is it NTR?

    Not NTR, but I would advise you to make it clear that it's a poly society, and some people are gonna be mad anyways, even if you clarify. NTR really means that a love interest gets stolen from the MC, but it is also widely used for swinging and stuff like voyeur. Your best bet is probably...
