    I just want to vent

    hmmmmmmmmmmm.... synopses are so hard.... people I talk about this story much more thoroughly seem to find my initial premise unique, but its hard to communicate so concisely. Too concisely - Irian farms merfolk, and it comes across as people are eating them as sushi. Not concise enough, and I...

    I just want to vent

    Alright, I have a new synopsis, what do you think? Irian is a scale farmer. He removes the colorful scales from imprisoned merfolk, and then the farm sells them to become jewelry. Despite the dire circumstances that led Irian there, it has become a somewhat peaceful life for him. His fellow...

    I just want to vent

    Thank you for the suggestions in both of your comments. The synopsis is something I've really been struggling to figure out, and I think I might try naming chapters like you mentioned. You mentioned in your first comment that my cover was one of the problem things - I know its not perfect, but...

    I just want to vent

    I haven't been very aware you were reading it - the annoying thing is that it's hard to know if someone is reading unless I'm getting comments - which is the thing I actually want. I want to hear what people think of characters, of plot points, or even just nitty gritty things I can work on in...

    I just want to vent

    I was clearly in a bad mood when I made my original post. So I've deleted it. I've gotten some useful advice and some needed humility. I just was frustrated that non - isekai fantasy has a harder time on this site. Despite this, I will continue with my work nonetheless, even if my methods...

    Wanna honest review swap?

    How much are you looking to do a review on? My story has four parts so far. I'll point out its also standard fantasy - being different from most content on the site, it may not be something you're a fan of. Also, that being my background, it will inform what I say in my own review.

    Age Ratings

    So, I saw the hint of this on a thread, but I'm not sure if a thread on this has been done before - But considering the copious amounts of stories with adult content on the site, I think it would benefit some readers to have a way to filter that so they can find stories that don't have sexual...

    Tag Implementation. State Here.

    I think that having a "no mature content tag" or something like you said (no-smut written in a better way) would be a great addition - perhaps even age rating tags. I consider my fantasy novel to be appropriate for high school and above, but it doesn't include any sexual content. I think it...

    Implemented Change order stories appear in on profile

    Maybe try changing the sorting, then waiting a bit, then going back and changing it to what you want. That's what worked for me.

    A fun little profile pic for my discord

    Made this for the main discord I use, surrounding the upcoming game Hytale. A simple Kweebec, from the upcoming game Hytale. This little guy has taken upon himself the name Treesinger. Normally among the Kweebecs, Treesingers are the elders who teach the young seedlings. However, this young...

    What words you always misspell?

    quite simply - Too and to. I understand obviously how to use these basic words, but I find myself accidentally mixing them up in just the flow of writing.

    Writing Should there be difficult situations in slice-of-life stories to make them more relatable to the readers?

    My concern is more with the genre than the tag. Yes there's modern day tags and such, but still that slice of life genre.

    Writing Should there be difficult situations in slice-of-life stories to make them more relatable to the readers?

    One of my problems with online writing sites is labeling it as "slice of life" rather than "realistic fiction," or "contemporary fiction." I think those labels are much more appropriate as genre distinctions.

    What's the Worst Premise?

    It is my least favorite book. I can't believe I read halfway into the second one.

    How to properly develop soft magic.

    That fan is here... First - hard or soft magic - one chooses hard magic because you probably want emphasis on things like combat and tension. You want a clear idea of how difficult a fight is - in Mistborn, you know Vin is having a difficult time because she has run out of pewter, the metal...
