Maybe not AI exactly, but they are scammers/bots. The only genuine one might be the one welcoming you to SH. The compliments are to hook you in, the scamming comes after. You can see this in your last screenshot: It's a common strategy from scammers. If you see this, report them...

"I think I forgot my wallet"

You should spare some that feedback for socks.

Depending on how far along you are, how telegraphed the darker part of the story was from the start and how you execute the shift, it runs the risk of alienating your readers. Considering your synopsis does not really say anything to that effect and your story is outright tagged as Comedy with...

Keep in mind, this is dependent on timezone. Even the days of a week, to a lesser extent.

Personally I generally agree with spreading them out. Reveal a backstory or context as it becomes relevant, or just introduce it gradually, rather than dumping it all in one go.

Most of the ones I read had at least a romantic subplot. This can tie into the characters getting used to their new body, discovering new feelings and such (both their feeling towards others, and others' feelings towards them), or their motivation to change back. if the feeling or even full-on...

You will probably lose the readers you have, or most of them, but if you did not get many readers to begin with, you don't have much to lose. In such a case, the fresh start might be worth it, if you can keep up the quality. Also, I suspect you would not be the first to do so. I have seen other...

1. Most of the broad Gender Bender genre I have read is not smut. If people jump into your story assuming it's smut, without it being tagged as such, it's on them, and not something you can actually prevent. Even if you put up a disclaimer about it right on the front page or even the cover, you...

There was a number of stories I have read that changed drastically in tone, direction and/or style, either abruptly or more gradually. It always leads to disappointment, even if the story is still good. There were even stories that barely touched on the stated premise before going completely off...

My own reading record is 77 completed stories, including one-shots and stories completed off-site, against 75 stories either with very slow and irregular updates, or, more often, in permanent hiatus, not including ones I stopped reading before the hiatus or that were deleted from both my list...

It actually baffles me how many authors seem to think reviews exists exclusively for their benefit, and get pissy when you write one aimed at potential readers. Though I'm noticing it's more prevalent among authors who can't handle criticism.

Part of it is laziness. Another part is, if I'm not sure what to say in the review, I just don't. Same if I think what I could write is too subjective, rather than addressing the objective qualities of the story. Also, I'm better at picking out the negative qualities of a story to talk about...

I have last checked this thread in 2021. Now it's 2031, but I could swear I was hardly gone for a day :blob_dizzy:
