Can I be honest? The words are not responsible for reviews... readers are. You got 40.
If you don't engage in "Review swaps," a practice as natural as breathing on RR and relatively common on SH as well, you usually don't get a review with such a low number of readers.
Frankly speaking, my...
The silliest scammers are those posting on the last chapter of the story claiming, "I really enjoyed your story, but I have a few suggestions."
Then I check their account, brand new. So they read 440 chapters in 1 day... along with 30 other stories... sure. ?
I have like barely over 2k readers on this platform, and maybe another 10-15k on other sites.
I don't take my writing and myself too seriously.
Talking about artistic integrity feels a little bit too much for me. I want to write interesting stories, battles, and include a lot of worldbuilding...
I am just joking here... everyone who is asking for feedback at this point should know that he or she is about to get roasted.
Still, it would be hilarious if someone turned the tables on him.
I don't remember Dragon Ball permanently killing off protagonists (permanently at least)... most Anime don't. It's always supporting characters only. There are rarely any real MC deaths because Japanese Mangaka know the heavy reactions from their fans.
Also, you can't compare Anime with web...
I haven't played Genealogy... that's why I mentioned it in response to your plan... *AAAAHEM Spoiler*
Do whatever you want. I always think it's important that you write for yourself.
However, I can tell you that if people love your story, you will lose readers... a lot of them. Better warn...
Do you have any readers left? That sounds like torture. It might be funny in theory, but if you really pull out something like that, you'll lose half your readers, and your reputation is ruined ;)
If I'd go blind and a story pulls something like that out of its ass, I would rage. Even if the...
I think people who request a review are either too lazy to check out his earlier reviews or are simply masochists.
Maybe one day someone else will review Tempokai's own works and put him in his place :blob_evil:
Some websites punish you for shorter chapters. Other websites encourage it.
In my experience:
WN: 1,5k+ is required. Otherwise, your updates won't really show up.
RR: 1,5k+ or people will complain... ESPECIALLY if you do shoutouts. Slightly shorter chapters are acceptable, though, but really...
Most people won't like it... I wouldn't do it.
If it's important for your story, go ahead... but don't expect invested readers to take it silently.
If their favorite character dies, they'll quit, and they'll do it loudly and leave you a gift of a 1-star rating behind.
Most people want a...
Well... It's been done before. Some people just open more stories at once, others name their chapters: A1, A2, B1, A3, C1, C2, D1, A4 (for example).
Usually, it just overcomplicates things.
Not trying to be mean, but why did you go by that format in the first place? Usually, trying to be special fails... There is a reason why most people release chronological stories. Or at least segment different stories into prequels/sequels.
Especially as a first story, I think that's like the...
Might as well create a new story then.... with a few edits and tweaks, and then upload them in chronological order.
That way, people can read the story like you initially intended it to be or choose the chronological order.
Not that I believe people are into this, in fact, I can almost...
Some people upload like 4 to 5k-word chapters, and I always tell them it's okay to stretch them out a little.
You, on the other hand, have done the opposite. 650-word average? This is going waaay too far.
I love your drawings, though; they look awesome.
Meanwhile, I sleep on my arm, and it hurts like weeks for no reason :(
I'd wish things worked like that for me as well. Honestly jealous. Feeling a little sick before sleeping, I wake up, and I'm feeling worse instead of better.
Sounds like Anime bullshit to me... You are lucky if your body works like that.
Maybe try to hypercharge your abilities while eating a lot of Meat and alcohol. You might even be able to regrow an arm.
