I can write 200 words in 5 minutes. But I need a hour break after that, so I don't do it. Lol

Just update unless you want to make changes to the old chapters. I revived an old story an it was almost a complete rewrite so I just started from chapter 1 again since it's almost a new story. If you're not touching the old chapters, just update.

or they got a criticism somewhere and decided it's not worth it for something they're not paid for anyway

If you do this, and an actual publisher comes along with an offer, they won't like that there's an audiobook of your work somewhere out there.

if you're going to choose only one, then it's litrpg

I think one thing to keep in mind is that his games are fan servicey. And since we're talking about web novel writing, especially we're in scribblehub, fan service is needed to shine. His stories have deeper meaning than usual (or is needed) in games. Most people won't dig that deep because...

No. Better cannibalize it. Take the good ideas and bring them to a new story that you'll hopefully finish.

There are two ways for litrpg systems. Just the light systems and the heavy systems. Light could be something like Overlord. Like is someone seriously keeping track of the numbers there? Does anyone even care? The point is that they're OP. You could slowly step above that with more skills that...

Boring to write parts are not the same as boring to read. At least for me.

A major factor why Game of Thrones became famous are the boobs, can't deny that. Not smut I'd say, but the sex sells expression covers it. If it didn't have any boobs, it would've attracted less people. Boobs and sex attracted many, then they stayed for the good story (of the early seasons)...

There are barely any game mechanics in Overlord. Just plenty of skill names and stat sheets, but zero clue about what's going on. Remove the [ ] and just use any other spell names and it's just like any other magic system. Stat sheets at the end of each volume are meaningless. There are no...

Right now, anything with numbers is litrpg. Those with game mechanics are heavy litrpg, or crunchy litrpg. There may be other terms for it. To gain the widest audience, best to just make a simple magic system with progression, add numbers with minimal math involved, and boom, litrpg for the...

I guess what I can just add are most (if not all) sites that do this fail or just don't grow. The very few ones that succeed are already huge sites to begin with and then they start monetizing heavily. Like Wattpad and Webnovel.com. So I'll be very cautious of any company that tries to do it...

Assuming this is actual psychological genre and not murder hobo type of revenge story or badass psycho assassin or something, it's not going to be popular. And that's fine. Actual psychological genre is just a niche and it will remain to be so.

It's normal there are many of them because they're an efficient way to start power fantasies. They're in the same vein as time travel, rebirth, and resurrection. The point is to have an easy clean slate to start a new life of being a badass in a fantasy setting. What's sellable are power...

I hope to aim for around 2k every day. And it was only recently that I pushed myself this hard (about a month and a half in). Before, I'm just writing 500-1000 words and also take break days. But I want to become a full-time writer someday so I'm pushing myself.

I think the problem here is that there's a need to be read. Most writers do want people to read their works. Take Lovecraft as you mentioned. His writings couldn't support him when he was alive. He's basically just some random author trying to make a living like thousands of others. All those...

I have written a few books in the past that I've dropped. I went back to writing after several years of disappearing. Been writing for a couple of years again, and only now, a couple of months in, that I started being a "serious" author (not just posting when I got the time), maintaining 2...

A vast majority of webnovels are for self-inserts, and so that's what we're used to. A long time ago, I wouldn't read female MCs too because I can't self-insert for the power fantasy/wish-fulfilment aspect. However, I eventually tried Worm (because it was very popular back then), which isn't a...

Well, I can say that changing things later in the story to be something more for general audiences usually won't work to pull in readers because they still have to go through the other parts to reach that. Can just write that story until its end and then begin a new one that will be more for...
