    Readers want you to "change" your story.

    Keep in mind I am a reader, not author. I think Sailus’ has the right idea. If they still complain then they just look dumb and feel free to call them out on it. And as an author posting publicly, allowing criticism is all you have to do. You don’t have to follow it or even read it. And...

    Scam or prank???

    See this is where my expertise in reading stuff on NU comes in. Scam, prank, lonely person, or weirdo are things that the average person might think but clearly don’t make sense for obvious reasons.

    What's the deal with wordpress?

    That has never happened to me. I’ve only run into a Wordpress site with redirect malware or something. That said I haven’t read every novel from NU on Wordpress, so I can’t say I know it all.

    Good site for reading manga?

    Try mangaupdates. It’s probably the closest to Novelupdates for manga. Less user friendly tho. Anime planet also exists for manga but it is objectively worse as tags are often missing/wrong and unhelpful. They can be nice for sorting by publisher tho.

    A lil English question

    I am a native English speaker. For writing, treat it as if Jemini is fully correct on #1 & #2. #3 works for me, but depending on the circumstances surrounding its use, it may need some tweaking. You could also add a "before" at the end of #3 if it fits the situation. This is the only part I...

    Zinless’ story. Haven’t read but I didn’t see a link. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/510651/reincarnated-into-two-bodies/

    Problems.

    So as someone who doesn't read fanfics and horny, I feel obligated to give my opinion on them. First of, I hate AO3. The concept is great. Its existence is nice. The search system and tag system is garbage. I don't even try to look at AO3 unless an author mentions they have more chapters there...

    Stay constant or go for a change

    I encourage such ventures but only when on a different story as I can just decide not to read from chapter 1. In the same story I’m way more strict. For a different stories, I’ve always thought just because an author consistently writes one style does not mean it’s the one that comes most...

    Believable Antagonist +motivation?

    I’m more curious as to why the antagonist didn’t kill or failed to kill the protagonist. I would think a large mountain could easily destroy a city. Especially when the antagonist should know the protagonists abilities and plans… As for how OP, I believe it depends on both what George above...

    Novel Villains and High Blood pressure

    Nope. Spent a whole year in english class learning about conflict in stories and one of the main ones is man vs nature. Also man vs society, self, and some others. There are also stories that don’t feature a type of conflict as a large part of the story. Stories that are all fluff are a decent...

    Monster protagonist you wanna see more of

    Not dungeon cores. I feel like I’ve seen so many and the all feel effectively the same. I’m not a smut fan. I’ll leave it at that. Same with harem. And I’m not a fan of monster evolution where the author decides that the main character needs a humanoid form and adds a path for one that the...

    review star posting confusion

    Huh. Never really bothered paying attention. And I'd say even having 1 review that you put thought into makes you better than most when it comes to being active in making reviews. Its honestly sad how hard it is to find a review from someone that actually read a decent chunk of the story story...

    When a random thought breaks your story immersion

    I’m not bothered by the pooping thing not being there. I don’t want to hear it. Paying depends. If money or restaurants in general are a big part, it may need to be there to give context. Even if it’s a “send it to the xxx estate” or “it was quite expensive”. It may not be needed if the food is...

    Need some Opinions!

    TLDR; While your story doesn't peg itself as the next big story to me, that doesn't mean its bad and people wont like it. In fact, I do think your story has the potential to do well. So if you want to write it, and have the time, I would recommend and encourage you to do so. Also, anyone know...

    what would you like to read in an isekaid country novel?

    TLDR; Countries and their populous work in our world because they are designed to and have adapted to it. When you take that away, what do you think will happen? Potentially, pandemonium. I have never and probably will never read one. That said, realism would be appreciate. What happens to the...

    How to write comedy?

    I don't know how to write funny stuff, so I'll tell you what annoys me most as a reader. This is just my opinion and as people have stated before me, everyone's sense of humor is different. TLDR; Like someone else said before, too much absurdity anywhere can ruin the comedic effect. 1. When...

    Mobile game ads

    I know this isn't helpful as I can't find the ad online, but the best one I've seen semi-recently, is a cat with gonads strutting around for Fantastic Beasts Legends.

    Tips for writing a medical emergency

    So if your looking for realism, its best to go with something your everyday person could theoretically deal with and is common enough that everyone has heard a story about it. For potentially fatal stuff, CPR or abdominal thrusts are relatively common. If you call 911 they can and will walk...

    How many updates should I do per day?

    I see stories doing 7+ chapters a week and it makes me pause for a bit. Personally, when I see that I associate it with lower quality, be it in plot or grammar, as well as shorter chapters that feel like they lack substance. It could be totally false, and one of those stories could be the best...
