    Just a story Idea I want feedback on.

    It depends mostly on what kind of story you want to write. The premise of a lot of stories are promising, but the end result is often lacking. Let me just first say, I haven't read / watched MHA. If the premise that the characters are from MHA nulls what's below, then you can just ignore it...

    Are you in top 25% of inteligent people.Why do you think so.(experiences,otherCallingYouInteligent/dumb,habbits,intrests,success/failure in something)

    A dangerous topic you're bringing up there. First we should define it correctly. Intelligence is normally defined as 'the ability to aquire and apply knowledge'. Having knowledge itself doesn't make you smart, it makes you knowledgable. Being able to spot patterns doesn't make you smart, it...

    Perhaps I will go on hiatus and finish book one

    I'm not going to assume that you're trolling, and that you're serious. Sad to see an author drop a novel, but if that's how you feel then I suspect you've learnt something. However, I'm going to apologize in advance, because I'm going to be harsh and say that you missed the most important...

    Posted 2 word chapter on accident, stats borked. Is there a fix?

    Have you tried going into one of the old chapters, and simply updating it without making any changes? I suspect every time you press 'publish' and(?) 'update', it computes the total words and divides by number of chapters. Doing it that way might recalculate it for you, if it works when you...

    Recommendations Give me anything!

    Of course what is considered good, depends on what you're looking for in a story. Some I'd like to recommend however: - Overlord (mentioned) - So, I am a Spider, So what? (mentioned) - Adonis Reminiscence - Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter - The Girl Who Bore The Flame Ring Honorable mentions...

    Similar Series showing the exact same novels for most BL stories

    There were some recent changes, with stories that haven't been updated for 90 days becoming less apparent in recommendations. Feature request: Reduce prominence of long-inactive novels (without "finished" status) on similiar series As a result, the number of possible recommendations will drop...

    Implemented Reduce prominence of long-inactive novels (without "finished" status) on similiar series

    Does the changes also affect completed novels? Because I agree, that you feel bummed out when you find an interesting story and find out that it was dropped when it's incomplete. If the stories have been marked as completed by the author however, then I see no problem with it being recommended -...

    What if an illiterate person gets a LitRPG system (that doesn't come with text-to-speech)?

    Oh, the irony. You surprise me. You never had to say it, it's implied. Let me spell it out for you. The LitRPG genre is Lit-erally Lit-tered with stories revolving around the MC being unique (and overcoming their challenges, if such exist). Stories about being that 1%, that you're looking down...

    What if an illiterate person gets a LitRPG system (that doesn't come with text-to-speech)?

    How classy. It was never about pandering to the minority. It was about making a premise that can give you a consitent, long-term plot. But of course, some simply prefer to read and not care about the deeper meaning behind what is told. Which is ironic, because given your statement, the MC...

    What if an illiterate person gets a LitRPG system (that doesn't come with text-to-speech)?

    I actually didn't check where the post was, my bad. Perhaps I was a bit shortsighted on my first post as well, and didn't think deeper on the matter, other than the first apparent flaws. I suppose I'm mostly against this kind of story, as if that is the premise of the entire story, it would...

    What if an illiterate person gets a LitRPG system (that doesn't come with text-to-speech)?

    If the system depends on the users being able to read, then the system is flawed. If something is made with the purpose of being used by everyone, it needs to be able to be used by everyone, regardless of circumstances. Otherwise, you might as well ask 'what do you do, if you can read but you...

    A group name for "classic" fantasy races

    Nothing that I can find that is extensive. There is a site called babynameswizard.com, but it doesn't go further back than 1880s, and only limited to what appears to be handful of english names. Sadly, I can't provide better advice than the following. If you are looking for names from a...

    A group name for "classic" fantasy races

    The greatest insult is to be ignored. In some cases, it's simply deserved. On another note, I forgot to provide a suggestion. Normally when I look for names, I look for existing human names. They can provide a sort of familiar-yet-fresh meaning. For instance, High God's Children? My suggestion...

    How does it feel like looking at your past works

    Writing is often said to be formal thinking. This means that whatever our thoughts were at the time of writing, they have become a record of our past selves, that is far more intimate than any pictures or videoclips. And we humans have a tendency to look at our past selves with scorn. Because...

    More Default Covers

    That stories are given a default cover at all should be appreciated. It would make much more sense to not have one at all, and simply have an empty image or a question mark, yet someone has made the effort to create the cover to bring a little more life to the website. Especially when if you...

    What's the Worst Premise?

    - Any story where the plot is centered around a missunderstanding between two people, where the plot is supposed to continue once the missunderstanding is resolved. - The daily life of the gunk a of zit finds itself on a mirror. Every day, its gets new siblings, but danger is on the horizon, as...

    A group name for "classic" fantasy races

    There's nothing wrong with coming up with your entirely own name for races. For instance, as has been mentioned, the common race names are very human-centric. What humans named the races. (E.g. Beast-kin, Cat-kin. Do you really think, they would call themselves cat-kin, if given the choice...

    Is it normal for order of trending to be in flux?

    There's no such thing as bugs, only features. I've seen it happen previously, which is why I suspect it's not a one-time thing (I'll give you however, that they are indeed unlikely to change much). Which makes me believe that stories rising or falling in the rankings of trending might be...
