For pointers, you can read The Prince. It has all the philosophies on how to make a well-governed city-state, or become a highly efficient dictator. It's in the public domain now, you can get it for free.

Because the majority of authors in Scribblehub spilled over from RRL. RRL was where system novels got popularized, being the primary source for the translation of The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor that popularized the genre. Before that, most translated novels were Japanese shonen or contemporary...

Yes, gender-bender stories are hard to sell. Ai-chan would know. See that story Felicia's Second Life in Ai-chan's signature? That's gender bender. If not because Ai-chan did extensive promotion on it, probably nobody would buy it. So when it came out, the sales were pretty good for the first...

Sleep enough. Don't get any stress. Play with the dog. Play with the cat. Don't let your husband ruin your mood. Sleep. Keep low stress for a week. Then you're good to go.

Shitty ideas? Time for Ai-chan to promote Ai-chan's new anthology, Shitty Anthology! Thanks for the promotion opportunity, random person on the net. The first story is Every Morning The Most Popular Girl At School Shits Next to Me On The Train...

No, that just screams amateur. Sure you can do it if you want to, but doing that is like announcing to everyone, "Look, look! This is my first book. I don't know what I'm doing." The reader should be able to tell whose point of view it is from how you write the chapter. Especially so since you...

Depends on whether you write in first person or third person. Its much easier done in third person than a first person. For first person, just put a divider or triple line spacing in the chapter.

Maybe the new administration hates incest? Or maybe just that particular mod hated incest? Did the rules say anything about it? Ai-chan knows that back when Ai-chan was there, there was no rule against incest. The owner of the site, Wing, even liked 'Their Last Valentine', the incestuous...

Ai-chan hasn't been in RRL for a few years. So this was an experience from a few years ago. Don't know if Andur fans still do this. Does Andur not write anymore? What happened to him?

Instead of every week, what about daily? And instead of every genre, just feature the top 10 (maybe top 20?) genres with most numerous stories. Having it daily means more stories can get features. After all, you won't spend a week to read a story, so there's no point in having the same title...

@Flashwolf96 If you have the psd file, Ai-chan can help you make what Ai-chan thinks will look good. It won't be infinitely good since Ai-chwn will only spend like 10 minutes on photoshop, but even if it's not your preference, at least it could give you some reference to work with.

No, you can publish easily on RRL. The problem is the audience. They expect you to be as good as a traditionally published author from the get go, not understanding that traditionally published books went through an extensive process by several professionals instead of just the author. If your...

If you want to publish here, use whatever text format you want. If you want to publish on Amazon, follow Smashword's rules. Yes, you have to read it a little bit, but if you can make it work on Smashwords, you can make it everywhere. Smashwords' meat grinder is the most sensitive and probably...

Ai-chan would say the second one is better among the two. However, no offense, but that's just choosing between two evils. If you want to ask, "Which of these are good?" Ai-chan would say neither. Follow these rules when you make your book cover as an amateur: 1. If there is a face, do not...

*shrugs* It's because Ai-chan was editing a copy. So whatever issues the original copy has, will also appear in the copy. And since it's the editing of a copy of a copy, it looks worse.

It's fine, apart from the fact that the snake's body looks like a mebius ribbon. The colouring is strange, man. What's a mebius ribbon, you ask? This.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Ai-chan is waiting for a novel-writing competition that pays good money. Until then, it's all hidden in the corner of Ai-chan's google drive. Why not just share it? Because competitions require exclusivity, you know, those "never been posted anywhere before...

Yeah, it's too bad. :blobrofl: If Ai-chan has the psd, it wouldn't be a problem. But without it, it's faster to make it from scratch.

Unfortunately, converting the end file into another file type will make no difference. The layers and element is already stuck in place and can't be separated. Well, technically it's possible, but it's a pain in the ass and Ai-chan doesn't feel like doing that. Unfortunately, it doesn't work...

No, Ai-chan needs the photoshop element file, which is .psd. PNG is the end file, similar to GIF and JPG. With PSD, all the elements are separated. So you can remove the background and change the texts individually. Your cover artist would have the .psd file because they need it to make fine...
