    I have read BL manga and it scarred me.

    Just so you guys know, Novelupdates used to have only a little BL. Used to. :LOL: Check the front page - the place is nove BLupdates. I see SH is getting more and more BL content. Once it starts, it never stops until it takes over. Welcome to the newly emerging BLhub.

    Seeking some tips because I'm new

    The formal is serial writing so you should do shorter chapters. Not like 10k words in one chapter.(y)

    No, I was wrong. They said in discord that the RR contest doesn't really help promote stories. It's more of a Nanowrimo type of challenge.

    If you wanna win a contest you could join the RoyalRoad writathon. Apparently the winners get on the leaderboard, but the rank is determined purely by number of words. You have 61,601 already so you could probably rank quite high.

    I checked it myself and overalls is the correct term.

    I just want to vent

    I apologize. In retrospect, my replies were a little too heated. It's all good, let's get along.

    Hmm. Which part of RI? If you can be content with just a Villain Protagonist, you can try: Jade City by Fonda Lee - the main characters are presented as "good" but they are all mafia so, IMO, it counts. Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman - great fun story about a villain in a...

    Release Schedule Opinions and Debates

    I did daily for a while then slowed to 3x a week. However, I might go back to 5x. ?‍? It depends on the story arc I'm on. Sometimes it's slice of life (slower paced) so I like to release more chapters. Other times, a 3x a week release schedule is fine. For example, I had two chapters that were...

    Publishing chapters without an outline horrifies me, now.

    I completed my novel and I am publishing it as I rewrite and edit the chapters. (y) Uh, except the smut story of mine, but that was a just a forum joke story. I wing it with that one.

    Undo publishing

    Thank you very much! Gosh, I actually hit the publish button by mistake twice. This will be enormously helpful if I hit it again with my clumsy fingers, lol.

    I just want to vent

    I didn't say it didn't hook me. In fact, I said several times I liked the MC. (y) I read fantasy, not LitRPG or smut. For the rest, your choice what you want to think. You think unique merfolk is a selling point while I do not. Whatever, your posts are a little hostile now and personally...

    I just want to vent

    Then that's good. You should think a bit more about the title and synopsis. You might not like my advice and you don't have to use it, but it 100% works. :sneaky: Again, your signature is emphasizing the merfolk setting, which in my opinion is weaker than your actual hook which is a great MC...

    I just want to vent

    It doesn't matter. What matters is getting people hooked. :er_what_s: Just like scale farming won't do a thing, neither will strict accuracy unless it's interesting. It doesn't matter if it's Reluctant Lawbreaker or whatever. The point is that Rip Tide does absolutely nothing and turns people...

    :unsure: His main character is a reluctant protagonist. I was just trying to suggest something.

    Oh, my bad. Yes, I meant OP.

    Hey, just thought of another title suggestion; Reluctant Lawbreaker I just read your five chapters, btw. Good job. I believe you can easily attract readers. Just fix your title and synopsis and you're golden.
