    Here is the basic outline of my story. Thoughts and criticisms?

    This might just be me, but I feel simplifying how you present your lore would do wonders. Try not to use jargon/terms too much, it turns off a lot of potential readers. Use a more descriptive or at least simpler way to describe your setting. People will have a hard time imagining a scene based...

    "Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate motherfucker"

    Yes, it is very much possible, but most who rely on profanity don't do so. They just add Fuckity Fucks to look cool. Those who use it with actual purpose could make it work well. Either by using them in creative ways or just using them sparingly.

    "Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate motherfucker"

    I believe in the saying, 'Brevity is the soul of the fucking wit.' Relying on profanity just seems like a lazy way to add length and personality to dialogue. Unless used purposefully (like for a character who is an 'inarticulate motherfucker'), it just sours the experience for me. It lessens...

    Discussion on Writing Styles

    I'm not really qualified to take a look at your writing in a more critical sense. I still struggle a lot with my own writing, so I suggest checking out the countless feedback threads here instead. The things I said above were things taught to me by other writers in this forum. They have a much...

    Discussion on Writing Styles

    Hey! I'm an amateur writer, so please take my advice with a grain of salt. I've read the first chapter of your story and here are my thoughts: Light novels/Eastern novels often have short, basic descriptions and a heavy focus on dialogue. Your story definitely focuses a lot on dialogue, so...

    Don’t get down when someone takes your story off their bookmark

    You are never gonna keep me down! I get knocked down, but I get up again.

    You are not God. You are not the author of sin and virtue. What compelled thee to lay blame of sin upon me? That is strictly impossible, for I am the one and only... Zinless.

    Is there a spam thread? I need to test something, possibly no one can see hidden unless have links.

    You can start a private conversation with someone through the mail button right next to your username on the top right. It mostly functions the same as the threads.

    Reading apps

    There's Bookwalker for translated Light Novels, most of the light novels there charge the same price. Other than that, no idea.

    Is the amount of readers supposed to increase when someone drops a story?

    Someone could read your story without ever putting it in their library/reading list. You have tons of readers who are not counted as "total readers" due to that, mostly because people are often a bit too lazy to put stuff into their list (despite it being only 2 clicks). I assume this was from...

    The absurd concept of mecha vampires

    My only idea is that the mech can use blood for energy, be it from its pilot or enemies.

    Is the amount of readers supposed to increase when someone drops a story?

    You are way too worried about this; random people will drop your story all the time, you can't please everyone, so at least please those who stayed. Just continue writing as you always had and don't overthink about stuff like this. Otherwise, you'll end up like me with my 7 months of hiatus. If...
