I wonder if it'd be possible to have scribble hub automatically add an invisible watermark to chapters for bots to grab that readers would not even know is there.

One thing I realized from reading novels, was that many of my favorite authors wrote a ton of stories, and the great works they are famous for are a tiny fraction of the works they wrote. Thus, I concluded that the primary key to being a "good" author, is just being a prolific one. It's good to...

I generally do not consider 1* ratings to be actual ratings. A 2*? Sure, someone thought it was awful. A 1*? Probably just someone on a crusade against everything with a certain tag or genre (Both my GL stories have 1* ratings and they are the only ones with them).

Based on my own experiences trying to write such things, I've concluded that god game or dungeon master type stories are really hard to write well (and can even be hard to write badly). The basic issue is that there's a lot more planning required than there is for a number of other story types...

While the webcomic is far too long to recommend it as research material, one of the villains in Sluggy Freelance had an interesting motive: Paranoia. He was a mad genius who made amazing technologies, and used his genius to destroy or takeover anything that looked like a potential threat to him...

My 2 cents: I've written a bisexual protagonist, except I don't think anyone would know from reading the story. Their sexuality is never a topic, so all anyone has to work with is who they end up with. I think one of the biggest issues is that it's really easy to just leave out details that...

My general experience as a reader, is that mixing styles can be dangerous. Sometimes a story is entertaining to me, entirely due to how it is told, and having that change can drastically alter how much I enjoy the story. Personally, I'd expect that different stories work best with different...

I think the primary benefit of Weak to Strong as a tag, is that I know there are readers out there, who specifically look for stories about a character who rises up from the bottom to become powerful. It's a popular power fantasy. As for the primary reason I have so few tags on my stories: I...

Amusingly enough, I think judging a book by its cover would be more reliable than judging it by the tags.

All I know is that the meaning behind a genre label seems to vary a lot. Like Gender Bender seems to go on anything with even a hint of it, or people get offended. I've seen that genre label on manga that just had a minor character who's appearance made it easy to mistake their gender. The...

The main issue is that for people to have choice, they must have knowledge. Thus believing all people have choice is also believing all people have knowledge, and that's very optimistic from my point of view. I've given up on that. I've seen too much stupidity to believe in that anymore. Then...

All good. :blobthumbsup: I've had the unfortunate experience of people who struggle to grasp when there's a fundamental disagreement on axioms and keep trying argue, so I tend to just assume the worst. My basic argument is founded on how disappointed I've become with humanity. I've seen too much...

As I've said, we clearly disagree on this, and no amount of repeating yourself will change my opinion.

I'm not saying to not blame the person involved. I'm only saying to look at the big picture. There is far more involved in a persons behavior than just them. Also: You clearly think people raised in well off households are taught better. You'd be wrong. Lots of well off people are taught to...

I think you misunderstood me because I was saying quite clearly that some people are better than others. I'm also saying we should seek to help those who are inept instead of blaming them for their ineptitude.

This is something we clearly disagree on. From what I've seen and read, it's far from "Unlikely" and actually quite common. Especially in countries outside the US and Europe. You do realize that this applies to the very people writing stories full of shittiness too? Don't just ignore the...

I plead guilty:blob_hide: Though I suppose my biggest "villain" would actually be the god of my story (the one I'm currently working on anyway). There's a bit of a conflict between the god and the main character, and I probably have to resolve that to end the story. Otherwise it won't end...

There are people who literally don't know better. Insisting it's their fault for not knowing better is shifting blame away from society at large, and their parents specifically. No one enters the world knowing these things. They have to learn them.

This really is the entire issue. There are many people who will never be given positive examples. Expecting everyone to just know better, is expecting too much of humanity. The reason video games don't have meaningful influence on violence is very simple: People don't see video game levels of...

This makes you 35.89% Lighter than the average person. ... I was not expecting so many questions to be a direct "What? No." after seeing other people's results.
