Very carefully, like treading through a mine-field.,

No just a page including a monstrous length post.

Well, I try on the humor. Sometimes hit, sometimes miss. Try on the world building. Descriptions are probably my weakest area - have trouble finding a balance between "too much" and "too little" Probably come closest to what you are looking for in Strange Awakening Sadly, my (I think) better...

Heh - like Tim Powers's Last Call I think it was - about a game of poker... played with a Tarot deck...

I stopped on the last one when it went from a kind of low key superhero thing to a "preaching about climate change" thing myself - and just found out there's a second season to Percy Jackson two days ago but haven't seen it.

Ah, then no idea unless you're exceeding some memory thing somehow.

So, in other words, yes, there IS a reason... :D (Much like in the two Kdramas I mentioned). My wife has been watching some odd Asian movies filmed in two-minute bursts, and they keep giving the characters English names, which feel so out of place it makes it hard to take the stories seriously...

How long is the document? I had one that kept messing up formatting, not showing text, etc. until I just moved the "problem section" (chapter 90+ IIRC) to a new tab and started working from there - then both sections behaved.

According to PocketFM, a chapter should be a minimum of 1000, maximum of 5000 words, with most falling between 1200 and 2500.

That's pretty typical unless you somehow hit Trending during those first weeks (that tends to double your current readers for a short while - at least given the three hours I was on the list for way back when). You should see a spike if you hit 20 chapters, another at 50, and another if you...

You've had time to read all of that and complete a story? I'm impressed - I've only finished three stories (and am almost caught up with another that may be winding down, or moving to a new phase).

Hybrid genres. I like to read things that play with the genres, mixing Slice of Life and System, or High Fantasy, Sports and Crime, or whatnot (and usually with a good deal of comedy but comedy is not the focus, just part of the story). Everything I write tends to migrate to either superheroes...

I would EMphasize random syllables JUST to be obnoxious

I would suggest replacing a few Isekai references with "regression" or "reborn" just to hit all of the tropes...

If you're open to print (or Kindle) novels, I've only read the first one but it was brilliant: The Simon Kirby-Jones Mysteries (4 books by Dean James) Amateur sleuth, Simon Kirby-Jones is looking forward to settling into his new home in the quaint British village of Snupperton – despite a few...

Why not all three - mix Warm Bodies, the Percy Jackson stories, and the Maximum Ride series?

If that's a new series, no clue. If it's been out for a while, I remember discussions about it (or something with a VERY similar ... like actionably close if not the same... title). If it is that series, then yes, the character does gain powers. Never read past the first two or three...

Usually I see it done for single words, not entire sentences. "GUARDS!" He cried at the top of his lungs, "Guards! Get in here NOW!" type stuff. And that's rare (I use it occasionally myself).

Is there a reason for the Latinate first names and clearly Korean family name of the MC? Or the Spanish name of his best friend? I mean, there are K-Dramas that pull this kind of mix off (Vincenzo comes to mind, though there was a coming-of-age series my wife watched where the girl grew up in...

Strange Awakening: Initial concept was: "What if a man woke up in another world where he'd been born female." It kind of morphed into something else quickly. The Jack Diamond stories: Overall: "Can a 'classic noir' story feature a superhero as the detective?" Book one is: "How does this...
