    If you want to gauge the potential for reader engagement with your fiction, put yourself in the reader's shoes, not the author's.

    Not all readers are authors, and even if they are, it's only a small percentage.

    A fundamental authorial mistake is assuming that a work will be popular simply because it's well-written.

    Finally, like it or not, market research is important even though it is troublesome.

    You could read what you wrote out loud. That sometimes helps me catch where breaks in a sentence to breathe are needed too. :sweat_smile:

    Well, since vol 2 is finished, now I will narrate Alice (Chivalry Justice) against Marry (Bloody Justice).

    They both meet through Detective Clara (Conscience Justice) in vol 3.
    Eldoria
    Marry wrapped her arms around her daughter from behind and rested her chin atop the small head.

    “Mommy?!”

    “Mama loves Caelan.”

    “Caelan loves Mommy too, hehe…”

    Caelan felt her hair grow wet.

    “Mommy… Caelan’s hair is wet.”

    “Sometimes rain falls inside the house, honey. Mama will hug Caelan.”

    “Mommy is the best in the whole world."

    Tears slipped through her lashes.

    “Black Mist… Clara…”

    Scene clip Vol 2 Chapter 94: Epilogue – Between Mist, Conscience, and Roses – Three Faces of Women Gazing at One Another.
    Eldoria
    Finally... after days of burnout... the epilogue of volume 2 is finally finished. It's a bittersweet ending, with no winners, only wounds. However, at least there's still a small hope amidst the darkness.

    The epilogue is titled Vol 2 Chapter 94: "Between Mist, Conscience, and Roses – Three Faces of Women Gazing at One Another."

    hey. god still likes the irish, I see.
    The new book I started tossing up. Cover sailed through. wonder of all wonders, it showed up on a search by title. and, I finally got to see a chapter of mine in the updated list. almost like being a human being again.
    yay
    now, if i could just get some readers.
    TinaMigarlo
    I can see I'm going to have to "report" user Eldoria
    for? just being too damn sweet and cute.
    but seriously, I threw preface and 5 chapters of another book up
    yeah, once again. Can't search to find it, as usual? my updates don't appear so I can get clicks.
    is this place prejudiced against the Irish, or what.
    that's probably it. Always trying to keep the irish down.
    a story as old as time itself, *kek*

    you write in what is clearly this modern webnovel style. short chapters. a single direct sentence though well formed can pass for a paragraph. two sentences, more then enough. It was shocking to me to first encounter this WN style I call it, but I got used to seeing it.
    Eldoria
    Eldoria
    Well, I'm just adapting to the platform. If this writing style is used for a paperback book, then customers might get upset because the pages are filled with blank lines instead of content. Lol

    you would have to ask to read a chapter of mine. and i write in what i think of as "a paperback I would have bought and read" style, IE trad pub. And yes, I am aware most webnovel fans simply detest it. disclaimer thus delivered. so don't feel obligated.

    I am now officially stalking, erm... *following*, eldoria.
    TinaMigarlo
    eldoria. I only just joined and barely started posting on the forums, and I saw your name several times already. what's site etiquette here, I have no idea. am i supposed to ask your permission to follow you, or what. also, you seem kind of reserved and I'm definitely eccentric and irreverent. I might not be your cup of tea. that's why I ask first.

    oh boy. Yeah, I suspected that. the unspoiled sweetness will be refreshing after the last ten years spent on perhaps the darkest corner of the internet. eldoria? I used to be like you when I was little. then the world had its way with me.

    When I was little, I used to get angry with my mother just because she asked me not to do this or that.

    When I grew older, I realized my mother was angry because she truly cared for and loved me.

    And now... when I see a little child throwing a tantrum because his mother scolded him, I just smile from afar.

    As for me, I look at them for straight 2-3 seconds pondering how I would beat the living hell out of them the moment they cursed their parent, then I remember I'm an education major and just say to myself that it's a good thing my professors can't read minds

    I still get mad sometimes. But then I realize this is what made me what I am today. Otherwise, I might have become a Karen and said, "Hey sir, I guess your wall hit my car. Yes, yes, look at that. Your wall is fine but my car is not."

    I don't understand why an author would choose not to continue a series even though it already has thousands of readers and instead choose to publish a rewrite with only a few new readers.

    I mean, you can rewrite the old series, instead of releasing a rewrite in a new one.

    Writing can be improved, but lost reader trust is difficult to restore and regain it.

    I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone here. I just saw an author make an announcement in an older version of a series, telling readers to read the new version after leaving the series without a word for more a year.

    I mean, if you're still hoping for your old readers, you better keep their trust. If you don't care about your readers, it's perfectly fine to not make an announcement.

    I am not offended. I understand the reader perspective, but free readers are the most entitled sometimes. I get more complaints on free stories than on paid stories. I am not talking about you specifically, but sometimes I wanna tell free readers to go fuck themselves.

    As a reader, I would first look for a complete series. If I choose to take a risk on an ongoing one, that is on me, and I should have realistic expectations.

    You don't need to delete your account if the information you share is only public.

    And only one of my social media accounts which was deleted was Telegram... not because I wanted to delete it. However, my account expired after a year of not being opened.

    * I was quite sad because many of my friends' profiles were stored there.

    Have any authors here ever created an ending arc where everyone loses (protagonist, antagonist, and supporting characters) or suffers from the consequences of their actions?

    Dare to say that kindness and sincerity sometimes cannot save anyone (rejecting talk no jutsu).

    More reason we read fiction, escape from cruel reality.

    I understand that escapism is one of the functions of fiction. I'd say 90% of popular fiction is escapist fiction.

    However, that's not the only function of fiction. And my artistic choices are perhaps a minority among mainstream authors... choosing narrative honesty—writing narratives that are human, even if painful.

    Because I want fiction to be a medium for learning to be human, not just for entertainment.

    my response:
    definitely. its right in my blurb/synopsis. "nothing and no one is going to come out of this unscathed"
    Eldoria

    I was inspired by masterpieces...
    If One Piece is a legendary treasure,
    And Death Note is a literal book of death,
    What gifts in this fiction might be?

    Clara, a young detective known for her unwavering conscience in the face of power, has brought corrupt nobles, rapists, and murderers to justice. The people praise her as the voice of society.
    Eldoria
    Eldoria
    But behind the applause, a figure has emerged who has shaken the kingdom—the Blood Rose Princess, a serial killer who has crucified nobles with roses and blood. She left a bloody message:

    "When the law is dead, I will be the law. Blood for blood."
    Eldoria
    Eldoria
    Dragged by her conscience, Clara tries to catch that serial killer, but catching her uncovers the darkest secrets the world has hidden.

    In the bitter truth, gifts come in the most honest form. Because not all justice is meant to be black and white... and justice sometimes also dances with roses and blood.

    I just learned that broiler chickens are one of humanity's greatest food revolutions for global animal protein needs.

    Efficient in production, affordable for customers, and the market is global. Without broiler chickens, we probably wouldn't be eating crispy fried chicken while watching YT.

    Thanks to the innovators who have made it possible for me to eat crispy chicken almost every week.
