Don't take it down. 'You can't please everyone" -- at least that's what I tell myself when I focus on what I can do better for my story. There is a reason why so many creative people say: "Fuck the haters."

That's dedication, but it seems it was worth it.

I fear that once I start rewriting, it will never end and the actual story will stagnate. A few edits here and there are okay, but an overhaul on prose would be too much.

Hello folks, Being a novice author, I often wonder how much a rewrite of my initial chapters would benefit my story. At first, I thought it would be a great idea; having my current writing style be reflected across my work would definitely help with style continuity. However, as months...

You forgot how an MC with this character archetype usually surround themselves with sycophants, fanatics, and naive counterparts...just so the MC stands out as a "normal" person.

Honestly, I use all three: sound effects, descriptive writing, and onomatopoeias during conversations. Then again, I'm a novice.

I could use some criticism. Feel free to check out the story in my signature if you have the time. As for points of review: [1]plot, [2]characters, [3]flow, and [4]what I am doing right / wrong would be appreciated. Just a note, I haven't rewritten any of the early chapters so you may see...

I would appreciate honest answers here. I just received my first 1 star rating from another site, and honestly, I feel a bit disappointed in myself and my writing. I know it could simply be a troll, or just someone who doesn't particularly enjoy my style of writing. However, it does cause me...

Yea, I am aware of some pitfalls involved with my story. Most of which can be fixed as I grow as an author (release cycle, title cover, synopsis, etc.) It also doesn't help that my story isn't the typical wish fullfillment isekai / transmigration story, which would turn away most. Anyway...

Well, congratulations... ...but I can't help but get salty over posts like these.

I usually chop long chapters up into several parts. They don't necessarily need to all be the same length. Good places to divide chapters are where you do transitions or scene changes. Since applying this method, I've come to publish chapters between 1500 and 3000 words. Sometimes long...

If you got any more reading space, a review of my story would be appreciated. The Terran Traveller

My Story: The Terran Traveller Your honest opinion would be greatly appreciated.

For me, I normally can write between 600 and 1500 words a day of random BS that is coherent enough to work -- if I am in the mood for it. The problem lies in my editing where my storytelling is molded and polished. It isn't rare for me to start a chapter over from scratch if my word-flow and...

Many people write within a certain range of constraints. Personally, I changed my format to finish a chapter when I reach my goal for that part of the story. However, if I feel that the chapter goes-on for a little too long, I would then split the chapter in several digestible parts. So far...

I would be scared too, if I had an actual reader base or people willing to comment on my story. ?

I use it to keep track of characters, encounters, and lore. I like the convenience of the drop down menus, however I was not aware of the character limit. So I may need to revise my organization. Honestly, the glossary helps me as much as it does my readers. Make sure to use spoilers if you...

Haha, I haven't read all the responses yet, but based on the original post, this is very similar to how my own story on scribblehub will play out -- more focused of survival, horror, and psychosis. However, I will admit that there are still elements of traditional isekai/transmigration/portal...

Didn't the X-Men somewhat address this? Segregation, experimentation, exploitation (on all sides). Pretty obvious what would happen, given our own history of hording and abusing our own 'powers'.

Well the problem is, his criterion interferes with his own restrictions. Based on the genres he likes, he wants some sort of detective thriller story, but without much drama, much romance elements, or much horror elements. Even the military and school genres suffer from his heavy restrictions...
