Probably moderation reasons. Can't police what admin can't read. Google translate won't be reliable. Getting a German mod or something won't work for the same reason that the admin still can't understand what the German mod would be doing. SH is smut hub, though. Language learning is probably...

This applies to webnovel writing too, for example writing litrpg to get likes even if that writer doesn't even know about litrpg much. Or if here, then getting on with the latest smut trend. Many, many, many writers also sell their souls for likes, followers, etc. Just transpose that to doing it...

You shouldn't ask others to decide for you. Since you asked, you obviously don't want to continue your old fanfic. Otherwise, you would've just done it instead of going to the forums. Given that, it's going to be near impossible for you to revise because you want to write this new arc. You don't...

Here's the thing. A vast majority of readers treat the 1 and 5 stars as dislike and like respectively. Most people aren't going to be bothered to think about author's efforts and feelings and whatnot. And why should they be bothered? Who's paying them to put time and effort into writing an...

It's a generic-looking synopsis. Just change the characters, and it a can be the synopsis of another story. I suck at making synopsis, so I can't recomend how to fix it. Maybe add something more specific? When a curse turning people into toads befell the non-magical world of Elca, Amalia, a...

That is true, like Spy x Family's popularity is due to Yor's outfit getting cosplayed so much. But I don't think this applies to the popular webnovel tropes. Think of OP MC animes. I don't think any of them became popular because of design. Many of them aren't distinctive at all. Like I said...

Oh, you're also talking about design. What I said above extends to design too, that's way so many OP MC in anime/light novels look like Kirito clones. Or why in romance stories it's always the plain girl. If the MC design is plain, it's way easier to self-insert. Plain also signals thin personality

Since we're writing webnovels, then marketable characters are those that are "bland," and I'm putting quotes on that. Webnovels are for self-insert, so it's better not to have strong personality MCs. This "trick" is also very widely used in books, though more blatant in webnovels. Take Harry...

The problem is Lookism itself. Compare the early arcs to latest arcs. Those are completely different stories. Lookism wasn't supposed to be a multi pov story but was just one MC with side characters. The author wants to write other stories since it's been like almost a decade already? But he...

You need spacing between paragraphs. It's going to be either spacing or you indent. For webnovels, it's usually spacing. For books, it's indent. You can't evoke suspense or whatever feeling if the reader sees a wall of text. I only read the first three paragraphs, but my comment is that for...

I have zero knowledge of your history, but I found that SH people are really chill. I also find nothing controversial about the points you made, and it sounds like an interesting story based on those. But if you say you kept getting into fights, then there is something questionable going on...

$5 is the normal tier for webnovels on Patreon. It's another question if you'll have patrons. If you want to earn money, then treat it like you're planning a business. Like what do people like? What will set you apart while still giving the same thing that people want? Promotions, marketing...

You're already lucky at that. Thousands write meta, but only very few earn anything. Fewer even reach a hundred bucks a month.

1. Don't do anything related to Webnovels. You'll grow to hate writing if it becomes borderline slave labor via webnovel contract. Just offer part of your life to the gods of capitalism. Please keep a part of yourself to you. 2. Most people don't earn on Patreon. You have to plan it very well...

Webnovels are mainly focused on reader self-insert wish fulfillment. Communities tend to become more homogenized. Take those two together and you'll see that reading sites will eventually become homogenized around certain wish-fulfilment genres. A good example of this is Inkkit and Royalroadl...

This is just my hunch why review swaps aren't a thing on SH. Review swaps aren't really for reviews but for swapping high scores. Yeah, low scores sometimes crop up, but those lead to drama. Whether they like it or not, swappers will mostly give high scores. Now, in SH, people don't really care...

That's just another side of the same wish-fulfilment coin. On the "webnovely" side, the MC should probably be in jail, but gets the women. On the "wattpady" side, the female MC is chased by a guy who should probably be in jail, but his actions are considered romantic instead of creepy or even...

There's no reading site that has political thriller as its preferred genre. Years back, you could've started your own site for it, something simple like wordpress, but I don't think it's possible to draw attention to that now.

Yup, and that's a very small number. But also loud when it comes to complaining. You won't be even sure if they'll read if the full story had stayed. The actual readers would be mostly supportive of the author getting money to eat (I heard eating is important), as opposed to the story getting...

That's what the big earners do, with the added step of putting their story on KU (which means pulling off free sites) and doubling their income compared to if they just sold on Amazon KDP and other sites. Most readers on RR and SH won't or don't spend money on books. The overlap between free...
