Various reasons. Out of principle for disliking a tag/premise/trope/genre etc. To troll and get a rise out of you without any repurcussions Because the first chapter was so offputting they felt strongly enough to one star it Because they dislike you personally Because you take it personally...

It happens. Just think of it as free advertising. You probably could do some legal stuff, but the investment probably isn't worth it for something you're doing as a hobby. Just be happy that people think your story is good enough to steal. It's probably healthier and less stressful that way.

Causation? The bottom line is good writing, but gearing a story towards trending premises/settings/tropes helps. Does it matter? If you're trying to monetize or aiming clout, yes. If you're just writing for fun, not at all. Tags... Oh. If you're talking about the "Famous Author" tag on the...

Tried this for a couple days once in summer vacation back in the day. Hated it. The write->exercise->write loop works, but it tears at your body without long conditioning. Not to mention the joint issues from typing so long. Much better to do five minute chunks spread throughout the day. The...

Five minutes at a time, around 150 words each. Repeat ad nauseum.

Decide whether you want to write for yourself or for others and then act accordingly.

Wake up. Turn on computer. Open word processor. Play a song in the background. Write until song finishes. Repeat as needed. Publish.

It isn't a fraud so much as it's a deal that gives a lot to Webnovel. Like, a lot. You really should talk to an IP lawyer to understand the full extent of what you're signing away. You probably get paid on a salary as well as on how much of your readers pay for advanced chapters. But that's a...

It's an excellent tutorial stage to grind out your skills as best as you can if you know how to optimize your time and resources. Especially if you follow the walkthrough and learn all the exploits to start the main story over leveled. Of course, if you don't know the exploits, it's a serious...

That depends. If it's something really hard to describe, it's probably better to toss in a picture and give the thing a name. That way you can just refer back to it and not waste time and space confusing yourself and the reader. In terms of writing flow in general, you should only ditch the...

In terms of grammar, nothing's horrifically wrong. But in terms of story telling mechanics, you're a bit off base. Your opening completely threw me off. I didn't know what the heck was going on. And the next sentence didn't help. Like, what the heck? A rod? 'Flaming' light? And now all of a...

Pretty much. From what I can see, you're going to be fighting an uphill battle on Mt. Tai to get noticed. Even if you drop a bunch of chapters every day for a while, it's still hard to get visibility. And from what I can see, even getting editor's choice for new novels isn't that big of a...

Well the users online aren't actually just the users on the forum. They include everyone online at the main Scribblehub website too.

To be perfectly honest, words and sentences go a long way in making a story good, but it doesn't stop a story from being boring. You can have pretty sentences and a smooth and buttery flow in how they run into each other, but if the underlying parts of the story aren't there then it's going to...

Probably? Most times when jumping to a next level, you tend to see your skills as plateauing or declining before suddenly leaping in quality (at least if I'm remembering my psychology of skill mastery correctly) so I would say yes. And you might as well tell yourself that to make it a...

Ahaha, I make those typos a lot too. For me, it's because I conceptually write line by line, kind of like transcribing a manuscript I play back in my head at the time. Because of that, I frequently end up typing words that sound close enough or skipping words that I thought I typed because I...

You forgot one: Get good.

I knew it. F.

You can always argue. You just won't change the objective truth. XD
