    Question about the "Trap" tag

    Anyway I wanted to ask a question about the Trap tag. What I wanted to know is whether is means by traps as in like dungeon traps and so on or whether it meant as I trap that a male character looks like a female. I wanted to know because my story will have the latter at some point and I didn't...

    Looking for some helpful feedback...

    I've read a bit of what you put down and at the moment have time to really give a proper response other than I've been thinking for awhile about scrapping the first chapter and rewriting it. And English is my first language but grammar has never been my strong suit hence the reason I usually go...

    What’s the difference between the mature and adult tags.

    From my experience people associate Adult genre with things like gore and explicit sex scenes. Whereas Mature is more about dealing with problems such as relationships, hardships of adult life, mental health and so on

    Is all this just a waste of time?

    Sometimes it's worst to publish with companies as they'll try to make you change your concept to fit the current trend that sells in bookstores not what people want to read online. From my experience you're better off doing something like a Patreon or something similar nowadays for writers like...

    Transliteration of foreign titles, yay or nay?

    If we're talking about outside of Japan in real life then yeah depending on the person it could be cringe, however, in my experience of practicing Karate over the last 7 or so years using the term Sensei is very appropriate. I would only find it annoying in web novel made by a western author if...

    Transliteration of foreign titles, yay or nay?

    If you're writing a light novel you might as well do it. Japanese authors also do the same when it comes to foreign characters they create sometimes. And it's not cringe or weeby to address someone by sensei or -chan and so on. It's just people often associate Japan for anime and manga so they...

    Is there anything you have regretted writing?

    Don't know about pride, but I do agree with it relating to self-esteem when it comes to me writing other stories. I am happy that my prototype story got traction then again you could just that it was down to a lucky combination of genres and tags associated with the story giving it more success.

    Is there anything you have regretted writing?

    It's less about wanting similar success with my other stories as that's nearly impossible in most circumstances. I guess it's just that I didn't have the passion to write my popular story compared to others, but now that it is popular I feel like I'm obligated to see it through to the end. Then...

    Is there anything you have regretted writing?

    This can be for any reason, as for me a few months ago I started writing a web novel called Wish of the Cipher on here sort of regret it as it was only meant as a means to improve my writing over time for other stories I wanted to write. I never really planned to finish it like I said it was...

    Description vs. Dialogue

    I personally prefer dialogue most of the time because seeing it through the characters perspective is sometimes better than getting an info dump on what everything looks like. Then again there's also advantages to descriptive writing styles like in J.R.R Tolkien's works set in Middle Earth.

    Why do people hate NTR?

    But in general I'm not too bothered with NTR if the love interest is open about leaving the MC of their own free will. The type of NTR that I'm not comfortable with is when it involves brainwashing, mind control or mind break tactics by the antagonist. Personally that stuff sort of bothers me...

    Why do people hate NTR?

    Yes Netorare, Netori and Netorase all revolve around smut to a certain degree. What I meant is authors just implement it for shock value or simply to have a reason to include sex in their story when it clearly doesn't need it. I've read quite a few web novels where they have great premises at...

    Why do people hate NTR?

    Usually authors end up using it as a plot device to have hardcore smut in their stories instead of it actually revolving around logical thinking/scenarios.
