Side question: what if it's your book that you're translating? (I'd assume you can prove it somehow)

Yup, there is. The slime monster is a water element, usually composed of oil, water, emulsion, and bacteria. Think amoeba/water elemental. A sludge monster is more an eart element, with silt, mud, and the occasional garbage. Think a compost monster.

Here, I have a few. If you dunno how to find them, many are translated on CD Romance. My favorites are RPGs, platformers, and puzzle games. I'll italicize ones that are really fun or really different.. NES - Crystalis, Castlevania II/III, Digger T Rock, Faxanadu, Ninja Gaiden I/II/III, Rygar...

If you are, it's like those dreams that everyone has together. My brian hurts.

Finish the story: He chuckled. "You silly little thing," he said, his steps exuding confidence as he approached you, a smirk that said 'I already won' on his face. "Don't you know?" "I have an army." His attacker looked around, "Oh really? And where is this army?" He...

It was possible that I needed to wait for it to work.

Urgh... Impulsivity ruins everything. I'll rewrite it. I figure if you actually hated it enough to mute it, then you would have read at least a few chapters and be like "I remember that! Yeah it sucked." Okay, it's back up (I always have hard copy when writing). You can see if it has issues or...

Oh my. Okay, okay, I'll contact him. Well, I could always repost the story if he tells me indeed there has been a mistake. ...His name is just Tony, right? There are like 8 Tony addresses on this site.

@SailusGebel Okay. @RepresentingEnvy I already deleted the story. Sorry I'm venting so much. It's just that contacting Tony wouldn't do anything after the book was deleted. I also can guess why it was muted so no need there.

Which is why I suggested a forum addition. More transparency, so people in the future are notified that the book has been muted, and can actually resolve the issue (like putting sisclaimers up, revising the section, or as directed by the mods). "Kinda glad this got reported lol" @Lloyd, and...

It's like this, hiding (muting) books is simply bad policy. IRL, suppose you gave a book manuscript to a publisher, and he pays you money and you have every reason to believe you should see your book on the shelves. Actually he hates your book, and wants it never to see the light of day (the...

See the description above. I am pretty sure that it passed the initial review stage (I had three readers, one who had read, two who planned to read, and three who dropped). It was pretty squarely on love or hate territory. Then midway through, I got a few nasty comments about the book. I told...

If Tony writes back saying it was the tag, I might re-upload it. Otherwise, I'm taking it elsewhere. As a former librarian, I don't put up with book-banning.

I decided the last one (A Hero Unmasked) was probably reported by the same jerk who gave me complete grief over my first and second chapter. I had a transphobic character (they were a villain ffs), I mentioned slavery (as a bad thing), and the main character decided they were non-op genderfluid...

Well, the book was really pushing boundaries. I'll see if I can get it published elsewhere. Meantime, I'll send you "Story So Far."

Mine was too. Forget that. Shadowbanning is the worst. I'd rather remove it than have a story nobody can read.

I updated my book with the new Superhero tag, and suddenly it doesn't seem to show up in the search engine for books. Nor in the updates. At least I think that's what happened. Maybe someone got offended enough by it to report it? Anyway. Yeah, it seems to have happened to someone else...

Uhhhhh, yeah. But it doesn't show up under the updated five hours ago. ...Wait, really? Aaaagh. Such an annoying feature. Well, it's probably a relief then. But it does mean nobody sees it update the latest one. I love your vamp's smile in the profile banner thing. It's so Oshi no Ko grin.

Like, I don't see it on updates, and I couldn't search for it (book name's A Hero Unmasked). I checked the others. Oracle of Tao, Tales from the Reaper, Town of Winter, and In The Moment all search (though the latter annoyingly has the same name as another book). Did I cross a line and got too...

I actually think the Show Don't Tell is crap. Like much of the other advice you get from people on how to write. In the end, if you want to exposition the heck out of something, go right ahead. If you want to leave the details vague, you can do that too. Lovecraft built a genre out of...
