Reader Tolerance in Principle of "Show it, Don't Tell it" in Narrating Scene Elements In fiction writing, we are familiar with the principle of "show it, don't tell it", which involves the reader in the story (immersion). However, in practice, almost no fiction can apply this principle...

I just realized... your username is based on the name of your fictional world. Good job. Now I'm not alone. :blob_melt:

No, that's not what I meant, dude. The adult genre is usually used for fiction containing sexual content, just a level below the smut genre, NSFW. If you use it incorrectly, your fiction could lead readers to misunderstand the genre and be disappointed. If you want adult-rated content without...

Out of the question, but I haven't even considered a galactic government in a fantasy scenario. Something as simple as interstellar communication is nearly impossible. Radio waves take tens, even thousands of years to reach the nearest star. It doesn't make sense scientifically, at least not...

First, I will call @Zinless to move your thread to the feedback section. (Sorry troublesome, dude). Second, a short question ... Why do you use the Adult genre if it doesn't provide warning trigger? What is the meaning of the adult genre in your fiction?

The answer is yes, but I have different priorities. I prioritize the main series because it's the center of the story's universe.

Dude... you call 2.7k words a rough draft?! The average casual reader won't even be able to read your chapter to the end unless they're hooked from the start.

The Tapas market is pretty niche, dude. If you're aiming for a broader market, RR and WN are more open and exclusive with few restrictions.

I don't know. You know your work better. Personally, I always put myself in the reader's shoes when reading fiction. So, if I feel like I can't 'live' in the story, I'll ask why the narrative has a narrative distance? From there, I'll start analyzing and then criticizing the cause. Now...

I haven't released a new chapter for 10 days, not because I don't have a new draft. But the last time I released a new chapter, I received a low rating from random readers who happened to be passing by. Well, my new chapter is indeed entering the dark peak of the story... and it will get...

I mean, as an author, you might draw on real-world references for your character's bacground and physical appearance. What nationality would you use as your protagonist's identity?

Dude... are you going to pile up this concept in the digital space just to ask feedback for another fiction the next day?

I won’t beat around the bush, dude. Honestly, as a casual reader, I’m fairly convinced that your first chapter (the prologue?) suffers from what I’d call "diary syndrome". What is that? It’s the first POV where the narrator acts as a heavy exposition dump, explaining characters, worldbuilding...

Hmm... I feel this forum is getting quieter.

Well, you can take a break. Enjoy your time. I hope you find your inspiration and enthusiasm again. Best regards.

Thank you for your honest feedback. Yes, this chapter is more like a prologue. I did use in medias res to the main scene without a long build-up. Its function is to show FMC's character instead of providing a courtroom drama. Because the focus is not the fight against the fat nobleman but how...

Hmm... I see your chapter's POV leans more towards cinematic third-person perspective. This is demonstrated by the narrator describing events objectively as an outside observer. As a reader, I can see what's happening in the scene following the narrative camera that moves between scenes from...

I can type 2,500 words in 1-2 hours if I'm just writing about my daily life in a diary. But it might take me half a day or more to write 2,500 words for a chapter of immersive fiction. My writing speed really depends on how complex the story is.
