I know how you feel. I wish people who would rate your story so low would leave a comment or review instead of radio silence. At least, then you would know what you are doing wrong if you are doing smthg wrong. Better than a virtual slap out of nowhere and without any explanation.

Thank you Alice-chan :blob_teary: :blob_hug:

Logically I know I shouldn't but getting a 0.5 rating out of nowhere hurts, sort of like a punch to the stomach, specially when you are putting your heart into your work. I'm actually learning to grow a thicker skin and pay attention only to constructive criticism, not to shit like this. It's a...

It did make me feel bad but not as bad as that random out of nowhere 0.5 rating someone gave me on there. That depressed me. They didn't even tell me why. I guessed it must be because my story was BL and they just happen to not like that. I dislike harem stories but I don't go out of my way to...

So today, I have learnt that sloths have retractable genitals, meaning you literally can't assume their gender.

Trying to get my lazy ass off of the bed so I can actually write something :blob_blank:

I salute you, good Sir :blob_salute: I wish all readers had your patience and legendary attention span :blob_teary: It would make life much easier for us, writers. I actually had someone roast me on a misplaced comma on RR. They then went on a long winded lecture about the difference between...

By suck, do you mean fail? Because they are not the same thing, at least not to me. After all, it is not the author who determines the success or the failure of their work, it is the reader. Personally, I think as long as you bother to brainstorm and put together a decent, coherent plot and...

Writing sex into your story doesn't make it cheap and it doesn't make you any less of an author. Sex is like salt to authors, when used in reasonable quantities, it gives flavor to your work. If used over the limit, it turns your work into one hell of a salty, nauseating mess. What pisses me...

Same with me as well. I have dropped stories before where the love interest is too problematic for my taste (borderline abusive or in some cases, misogynistic)

I have actually seen this way too often on SH. I thought at first it was a webnovel thing, maybe ? But then it just made me confused. I also noticed some writers who make their paragraphs way too short, almost two lines or a little more, like why? A good paragraph in my opinion shouldn't be...

@nani : promote your works. Us SH writers : It's Free Real Estate :blob_party: Well, here is mine if anyone cares. Genre(s) : BL/Fantasy/Drama/Romance Synopsis : Abused and murdered by the hands of his princely bonded, Yuer of the Ayaseen clan is given the chance to go back in time and exact...

We all do it sometimes. We pick a story, we read a chapter or two and then never feel like getting back to read the rest. What would make you drop or lose interest in a story? I have added a poll just to get a general idea. If your reason is not included in the poll, feel free to elaborate on it.

Characters that I can be emotionally invested in. At least if the plot is lacking, good characters can make up for that. I have dropped novels before for having shitty MCs.

The only MCs I have actually liked in an Isekai setting are Ainz Ooal Gown from Overlord (the novels), Kumuko from Kumo desu ga, nani ka? and Vandalieu from Death Mage. The slime guy, Rimuru, is meh to me personally. Overall, I think we need more female MC in Isekai works with slightly...

Hmm...is it okay if I mention my own story? Or is it too shameless? :sweat_smile: :blob_no: Revenge is its main theme among other things. It's BL however so I don't know if you are okay with that. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/65876/hearts-of-rust/

Yes, an omni narrator can be an unreliable one. Why? Because even an omni narrator has a distinctive voice. As long as there is voice, there can be narrative unreliability. Omni narrators can wrap the 'reality' of the story however they like and the characters as well as the readers would be...

Hemingway does this in several of his works. Here is a passage from Old Man in The Sea. Some people might say this is head-hopping, others might say it's third person omniscient. All in all, it has become a style of its own. Btw, I wanted to say head-hopping isn't a new/novice writer's...
