    Who's the Most OP Character You Created?

    I've written stories about deities and their successes and failures in world/universe creation. I've written about a world where the gods play in it like a 4x game, competing for territory and worshipers. I've written a cultivation story in which characters rose not just to the level of...

    What makes you drop a story?

    A lot of the stories I've dropped, were because the story changed and wasn't what I'd originally been reading it for anymore. There have been several isekai's that have fallen into the same trap of starting with an OP MC, then suddenly introducing foes strong enough that the MC isn't OP anymore...

    I'm not doing well

    Realizing this is why I started writing. I realized a lot of the works I was enjoying reading, were really badly written, and thought: I can probably write something as bad as that. If one wants to actively chase popularity, one method is to make a lot of short story starts, and see which ones...

    What if I gave an unfamiliar name to my character without explaining the meaning

    I started a very simple policy for my names: Something that I can do a ctrl+f for and not get a bunch of hits that aren't the intended character. Started that rule after accidentally getting annoyed by a name that wasn't as easy to search for. (handy for when I need to double check on what that...

    Mc deaths

    Personally, I'd advise making the new novel into a very long epilogue, instead of a short new story. Make it part of the story in which the MC dies, and it becomes a continuation of sorts, just a continuation that's now missing the main character, and provides some closure on the consequences of...

    Could you be satisfied with a non-conventional relationship?

    I remember seeing a show once talking about polyamory, and one set of interviews involved a few people in a rather large polyamorous relationship involving eight people. They mentioned that one issue which isn't often talked about when people discuss such relationships, is how incredibly...

    Why did you become the villain?

    To end all suffering in the most logical way: By ending existence (or some other absurd end of the world type scenario).

    Whichever motherf*cker

    So, your complaint is that the rules aren't strict enough?

    Between a story's plot and flow, which do you think is more important?

    I don't really consider either to be more important. I've read stories that were all flow, with nothing actually happening, and I've read stories with terrible flow that I could barely even read, but had interesting plots. I'd say they are equally important.

    Whichever motherf*cker

    There is a pretty big difference between a bedroom picture and a beach picture. Context matters.

    Whichever motherf*cker

    You are comparing images of men and women in bed together, with a beach photo.

    Is there a way to learn more about 1 star reviews

    Everything I've written with the gender bender tag has 1 star ratings. Everything I've written that doesn't have it, does not. I assume it's just people on a crusade, and ignore them. If anything, the number of them is a sign of how widely seen it is.

    Could you be satisfied with a non-conventional relationship?

    I suppose I'm actually in a non-conventional relationship. We're not really together, but we are really close, and I did confess at one point. It's more like: There's a bunch of problems that are deal breakers, but if they weren't there, we'd probably be together. So there's some fun pretend...

    Where does everyone get their cover art?

    Two of mine are my own personal "skill" in paint. One is a stock photo I cropped. Edit: Join the low quality paint cover users! :blob_paint: Edit2: Double checked... I actually used GIMP.

    Issue with ratings.

    I'd agree that the star rating system is broken, and probably not fixable. Personally I think it's better to have it than to not have it, but it's important to recognize how little it really matters. Personally, I consider the favorites, reader count, comments, and the rare written review, to be...

    Issue with ratings.

    I generally ignore 1 star ratings and would advise others to do the same. 1 stars generally don't have anything to do with story quality, and are simply a matter of personal preference. Same with 5 stars, except it's usually more important to pay attention to people who like your work than those...

    Need Suggestions

    I feel it needs to be said: There's nothing men won't put their dick into. Especially when alcohol gets added in. For more sensible ideas: Mythical beings might be good inspiration. Unicorns and Dragons are pretty classic, though many settings seem adverse to acknowledging the possibility of...

    Your take on a wimpy MC

    That actually sounds like a setup that would be perfect for a survivor type, who constantly displays their ability to get out alive (often at significant cost), except you're starting the story with someone who has no training for it, and would probably end up dead in most settings (were they...

    Your take on a wimpy MC

    Personally, I think the primary point of most systems is to provide a motivation to the main character. Any main character with a system, will inherently be given at least some motivation to try and make progress with their system. For a character to ignore it, would be very strange. If the...

    What do you think makes a good Mob Protagonist story?

    Best one I've seen is this one: Observation Record of a Self-proclaimed Villainess’ Fiance and it's not even a mob main character. It's just telling the story of the main character from the viewpoint of their love interest. All the stories I've read claiming to be starring a mob main character...
