    For female readers who read harem stories, why?

    Most complaints I've seen pretty much boiled down to "it's nothing new" or "lol Kirito clone protag with a harem in an LN adaptation again" which I frankly don't give a damn about. In fact, those Kirito clones bait me into watching a show :blobrofl: It helps that Alice is such waifu design...

    For female readers who read harem stories, why?

    Kimisen fan! ? Really love that show and was looking for someone to talk about it with. I think it counts since Sisbell starts getting into him too.

    First-time user starting a brand new series, please review it?

    Haha which is why I dropped the tag out of my series. I've had people ask me whether my work is an actual harem or not due to the things you stated. I don't want to get nitpicky with the specifics, but if you look at it, is something like Oregairu a harem? Or Index, if you've seen it? Re:Zero...

    First-time user starting a brand new series, please review it?

    I think what this means is that you shouldn't dump an encyclopedia entry of your world early on. Do not have walls of text detailing the state of the world down to its politics, culture, and all that. If you find the need to infodump, keep it to a line or two at most maybe. But feel free to...

    Got a 1 star rating and needing feedback.

    I like that idea, but not a lot of people would have the time or the motivation to do that though. I feel a lot of people would rather not rate at all if the ratings are review-locked, but I could be wrong.

    First-time user starting a brand new series, please review it?

    First thing I noticed is the formatting. I think it would be better to cut the line breaks in half so that there won't be as much white space between lines. I feel part of the story lacks "descriptive motion" though. I'm not sure if it's just a stylistic thing, but there's not a lot of prose...

    What is the best writing advice you’ve ever come across and take it to heart?

    @BlackKnightX It's likely my card game experience coming into play, I guess. Every competitive game has a "top tier" and if you want success, you should either a. Play it, b. Incorporate some of it in your own brew, or c. Learn how to counterplay it. C is obviously not possible in writing (you...

    Got a 1 star rating and needing feedback.

    If anything, you also got a random 5 star review for nothing ? It doesn't say anything in depth. Just a random 5 star as thanks, so I think it's as valid as the random 1s you get. And random 5s for no reason at all happen here, more often, I'd say. People are just binary in voting, as said in...

    What is the best writing advice you’ve ever come across and take it to heart?

    Seconded. Kinda reminds me of the meta/tier list idea in video games. Those genres really are at the top and the easiest track to success in terms of readership.

    Got a 1 star rating and needing feedback.

    Sorry you had to have such a welcome here. While I feel that the sudden 1 star voting (or the binary voting in general) is a thing, maybe there really was something you did to get someone mad. If it's a story twist, which it likely is, I'm afraid it falls into the category of "you can't please...

    What is the best writing advice you’ve ever come across and take it to heart?

    I'm not sure if I can contribute anything that hasn't been said already. I haven't actually had a lot of writer friends, too, so I don't really get advice personally. I think the best one that I learned is that dialogue and character lines should ideally bring out personality or even a...

    Covers I made for my book.

    It's pretty cute. I also like the coloring palette for the second one.

    Who is your favorite hentai artist in terms of art style?

    Possibly surprising for someone who spends half the time talking about being a weeb, as well as someone who emphasizes waifus and goes out of his way to include some fanservice and sexualized descriptions in his series, but I don't consume hentai. I guess Tosh wins by default since I did read...

    Writing [Tutorial] How to Make THE END

    This is by far my favorite in the series. Thanks. The "wrong direction" thing really helped me get some possible perspectives I could integrate.

    Anxiety about writing. Need advice

    I wouldn't worry about it that much. Because everyone starts out that way to an extent. Of course we all care about reader response. That's why we post stuff here. Otherwise, the stories will just be buried inside our MS Word or whatever processor program we have. Regardless, what's important...

    Is osu the best rhythm game?

    Absolute best is hard to say. I don't even know what I can claim to be the absolute best rhythm game out there. But I really love the game. The best part for me is that the possibility for maps is endless. Since it's so community-powered, you can technically get any song into the game as long...

    How long have y'all been writing? What have you improved on?

    Technically, somewhere around 2013, but I mostly provided input and worked with someone, doing the actual writing on and off. I wrote on and off from then until 2017ish when I tried writing my first major series. Got burnt out after writing myself into a hole before rebooting said series last...

    Descriptive prose or short and simple prose?

    I prefer having descriptions so that I can tell my readers how I perceive/visualize the scenes clearly. I can create something more concrete that they don't have to guess or infer.
