You're obviously not satisfied with it so go for a re write. Just tell your readers beforehand. I'm sure they'll support you if it's to improve the story. And you'll probably get more readers when you publish your improved story.

There's really a lot of this in RR. I think it's just a bad habit formed from how webnovels are usually written with infodumps up front. I've had a few comments that they can't understand the plot, ranging from polite to being an asshole. The funny thing is those comments are usually in like the...

But those stories are not following medieval Europe? They're emulating games. Specifically, they need a quest giver NPC and a ranking and so we have the Adventurer's guild as a literary shorthand to set this up. Its kind of like the truck became the literary shorthand to jumpstart an isekai...

The "modern" style of writing now in English is third-person limited - this is basically first-person written in third person, so it's the voice of the pov character in third person, including thoughts, mannerisms in speaking, world view, etc., and of course, he can't speak about things he don't...

Blame the readers, not authors. If there's demand from readers, the authors will supply. I've started reading webnovels from when it was mostly just machine translations in some random wordpress blogsites. I've been past my phase of isekai, op mc, rebirth, those kinds of stuff a long time ago...

Since your goal is to earn money, I think you already know the answer.

Urban fantasy, the usual superheroes anyway

hmmm...so this isn't about bestiality, but fucking insane people? That...sounds worse Need some clarity what this really is about lol

You'll have to write something out of the normal for the genre to signify a different sexual orientation. Take for example Harry Potter and JK Rowling turning everyone gay. Okay that's an exaggeration, but she confirmed Dumbledore is gay. Now, in the books, there's nothing there that shows...

Not sure how well that'll work in web novels because it's the opposite of web novel story telling style.

^ It's this. Isekai (in its present form) is for wish fulfillment fantasy. No one wants to get bothered. If you want isekai that dwells on religion, go back decades ago to Chronicles of Narnia. A bunch of kids get isekaied to a foreign world and became kings and queens. The difference with...

This is the internet (unless you use your real name). No one knows who you are. If people trash your story, then you can just rewrite it and come back under a different name and pretend nothing happened. If you want feedback and to improve, you need to get it out there.

I'm not sure if you're really a panster or a planner that don't know how to plan yet. A panster really sucks with planning. I'm a panster, I don't even have a backlog (although I'll probably need to make one if I want to make a patreon), 2 days before the next release, I sit down and write the...

Without any context that this is in SH, someone reading something like this will be very concerned. :blobrofl:

This is like shitting on Fifty Shades of Grey and Fifty Shades replying it's one of the best-selling books of all time. The simple truth is, isekai in its present form is for escapism and wish fulfillment. That's what sells. And there's nothing wrong with that. You go write a realistic isekai...

That's...pretty tame though. I mean, this is SH. Given what's on here, I don't think SH can comment on RR. :blob_hmm_two:

Too much litrpg content. Too stiff competition. Need to rise about the tons and tons of other litrpg stories.

A lot of things to describe SH. Haven't thought of playful. :blobrofl:

For the SH audience, definitely, the Japanese style works. If you're going to expand to RR, it might also work, but if you really want to spread in RR then better go with Western styles. Harry Potter is third person limited. In fact, compare the first chapter of first Harry Potter book with the...

You're going to use third person because you want to cover a whole battle? That means omniscient then. So that's probably why you're having trouble using third person. The preferred modern pov used now is third-person limited, it's a blend of third-person and first-person, essentially someone...
