    Need some Expert opinions...

    I’m not an expert, and I only read 8 chapters of your book. Firstly, I find your writing style very good ( much better than the average webnovel). You have great sentence structure with clear and easy to understand descriptions. You are also good at writing transitions (or scene changes? - I’m...

    Age Gap Question

    As long as they are two adults the age gap shouldn’t matter. irl it gets weird to see an 18-19yr old with a 40yr old because you have to consider if the younger person was ‘groomed’ (because most 18-19yr olds would have nothing in common with a 40yr old). After about 25 though it’s generally...

    I don't know where I'm going with my life anymore.

    You sound depressed… and not to sound harsh but it’s understandable especially if you’re in that situation as a man. For what it’s worth, a few years ago I was in the same boat. I worked at IHOP as a cook, then moved and got a job at Hardee’s - it sucked. The schedule sucked, the fact I always...

    Readers want you to "change" your story.

    Just as a reader, even if I was paying, I wouldn’t think to ‘demand’ any creator to radically alter the vision they had for their story. So for the people who do that, you just got to chalk it up to the few bad eggs. With that said though, if I take the time to read/comment I would like the...

    How to escape north korea

    If you’re a girl, get sold into sex slavery in China. If you’re a guy… god have mercy on you for trying. If you defect, and are found, they’ll send your family into prison labor camps. I’d imagine most people who defect are found out due to neighbors ratting each other out. Seriously, fuck the...

    Tips for finding more readers on SH?

    In my uninformed opinion, there are 2 kinds of novels that the majority of online readers will click on. Those are smut/isekai. It very well may be that you have a good story, but unless it’s REALLY GOOD it’s not going to draw the same reader base as the 100th naruto/system novel. This isn‘t...

    That one tag you avoid.

    Multiple protagonists, BL, and NTR are mine. I really dislike multiple POV also. It’s distracting to me, and imo there are only a few really great writers can pull it off.

    If you were forced to read an incest story, which would you rather?

    I think the only time I remember reading anything where this was touched on was Coiling Dragon… iirc in that book familial relations were only considered to the great-grandparent. so yeah… I don’t have strong feelings if 2nd cousins get married (I mean, ideally they wouldn’t but it happened all...

    Why grammarly hate "really" so much?

    Because 90% of the time using “really, actually, honestly” is how people talk, but doesn’t convey a clear message in written format. I guess the reason those programs do it is because the tendency for people to skip over long passages of text. If you’re writing some formal letter, you do not...

    How does the western powerset do "cultivation"

    Your idea basically answered the question, Western ‘Wizards’ study the magic system of their own worlds (sort of like cultivators). In many high-fantasy stories the amount of mana a person has is set in stone, but the way the character uses spells/etc can be unique. The same goes for physical...

    Do you bother favoriting a chapter

    I only think about it when I see a good novel that has relatively few views (this happens when I see a ’new’ title that has like 40-50 chapters and maybe 500 views per)… then I’ll want to ‘push‘ it to the websites front page.

    What does it mean to be an adult?

    I won’t reduce this question by saying ‘well legally….‘ I figure you are intelligent enough to know basic law. So while not giving an overly long explanation, being an adult is simple to state. First and foremost, be responsible for yourself. Being an adult does not mean you’re a good person...

    Is it selfish to have a child instead of adopting?

    I’d argue that most children are unplanned. Couples know there’s a chance of pregnancy, when the girl forgets taking a her birth control pill or the guy never pulls out in time, but family planning is high in wealthy families, while it’s low in middle income families. It’s almost nonexistent for...

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    Older animes make it seem like High School is optional and mandatory education stops at Middle School. Is that real? If it is, what job opportunities would someone who didn’t go to high school have? I mean specifically, could you have a trade skill (electrician/carpenter/etc) or would you...

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    In the United States, kids in high school are basically broken up into ‘cliques’. So there is really no single popular kid after middle school… like you will be popular in your group but a side note in someone else’s. Is it like that there too?

    Decline in moral standards in web novels

    I find this explanation to be a VERY simple. Most web novels today are written in a ‘video game’ style. They are high on action and low on emotions to keep the readers attention. The incentive for this is that there are literally thousands of other options for the reader to choose from, so...

    Cavalry is underrated

    In real life, Calvary was so powerful because a horse is so much more powerful than a person. In high fantasy settings, usually, humans are far and away the most powerful creatures. So much so that there aren’t even regular army formations since if there were, they would be blasted to bits by...

    What’s your take on nationalism in novels?

    The issue with nationalism in fantasy novels is that always dumbs down the story and makes it less enjoyable. National politics are rarely ever clean enough to be put in the ‘good’ or ‘evil’ camps. Yet, when nationalism comes into a story, the ‘others’ really are just causing problems because...

    Any of y’all been in a fight?

    Every year until 6th Grade I got into at least 2 fights at school. I was slightly short and chubby so certain kids thought they could bully/joke on me. What they didn’t know was I was the 3rd in 4 children, and my older brother CONSTANTLY messed with me. Which made me kind of assertive (aka I...
