    When do you have to put a warning label on your work?

    My stance on any warning is that you should weigh the consequence. Say your story had a bunch of gore in it. A handful of people would be very disturbed when they find it, and would downrate. If warned in advance, they may not ever rate it. It's the same advice. If you feel like people will...

    Webnovel Contract

    Their contracts have a stipulation that you can't disparage them in any way, and that disputes will be mediated by a court in hong kong. Keep both of those in mind as well. That makes it hard to trust anyone who currently has a contract with them's comments on the matter, since the chinese are...

    So i am obsessed with science and fantasy so i had this idea to mix them to best of my knowledge

    My entire story is literally just me having done extensive work on magic is a physical law then writing a story around it. From biology to physics, I've got an internal fundamental level explanation for it. Will the story see all of it, probably not. Do I have it, yup. Mana particles have a...

    How many sites is your story on?

    SH, RR Then my personal Wordpress and Patreon. So 2 or 4 depending on how you count things.

    Would you review my novel?

    1. You need more chapters before any real review could be made. 2. Why does the chapter 0 (prologue) suddenly start and end in Spanish? This is what I think. Keep working and ask for reviews once you have like, 20+ chapters. I can't really be bothered to review the equivalent of the...

    RANT-Don't rewrite your story that has already progressed too far ?

    I do firmly sit in the camp that you should finish the story before you rewrite it. You *should* be improving as an author constantly through experience. If 300 chapters was enough that you felt the early stuff was so bad you *need* to rewrite it, in another 300 chapters of rewriting, you'll...

    When did your story start to pick up an audience?

    Ultimately, it's infinitely analyzable. The generalization I gave at the start was exactly that, a generalization. That is where I draw the line at you should consider dropping your own story at. We can make the analysis more deep by comparing all the different tags, or chapter length, or...

    When did your story start to pick up an audience?

    It was over six months before any real traction began for me. It seems that number varies by person, but it does generally float between 70 and 100 chapters. My hypothesis is that a large number of readers filter by greater than that number of chapters, especially ones who just read, and don't...

    Making an important edit to an earlier chapter, or work around it for now?

    It fully depends on how you treat your webnovel. I personally look at webnovel writing in a manner of how the Japanese market handles it. Your webnovel is essentially a draft. If you treat it that way, you should finish the whole draft before you go make edits. Earmark spots you want to make...

    NEW CHAPTER OF DARKER OBSESSION HAS BEEN RELEASED PLEASE DO GIVE YOUR VALUABLE FEDBACK WEATHER ITS HARSH TRUTH OR SUGGESTION.??

    First, this is the wrong subforum, so yeah. Second, I gave it a look, and the "stylization" makes it nearly impossible to read. Like, it's exceptionally hard to read something when a sentence occurs on different double spaced lines. I'm not sure if you've just got bad formatting, or you...

    Where should I get a good cover

    This is very true, though I've done a whole writeup before about how even a mediocre picture is far better than no picture at all. To really stand out you do need to put care into what you use though. I haven't made new novel covers in a while (and am now 4 novels behind on it), just because...

    Where should I get a good cover

    Civit is free-esque (get free generation daily through engagement). As Corty has mentioned, it's a great option. That said, it's really the best in the business for flexibility and options. Right now I think my favorite model I'm tinkering with is Citron. Outputs are really crisp. The...

    The Layman's Understanding of AI's Value is so Horrifically Bad

    Either your understanding of the limitations of transformer models is incomplete, or your writing is bad enough that it is already considered AI slop done by hand, because a single LoRA isn't going to fix the issue. The shortfalls of transformers models for longform writing and thinking are too...

    Writing The Art of Silence

    Six pages in a row with just "..." at the top. That's how you know that there is silence in a book.

    Do you mind real life physics when you create a "fantasy" world

    My entire novel started from the premise of "How would you actually integrate magic into physics?" So yes, yes I do. Outside of this novel though, I'm more than willing to say that as long as the internal consistency is maintained, you do you. A desert can have explanations within the world...

    Similar Climates And Their Housing

    Many factors go into it, but yes, to a degree it would be better than picking a building style at random.

    The Layman's Understanding of AI's Value is so Horrifically Bad

    What if these three people are each 200 years separated from each other and have never met anyone who knew the people who disappeared directly, having only heard stories each time? It isn't necessarily stupidity to test it, but nor is it anything more than blind trust from people without first...

    The Layman's Understanding of AI's Value is so Horrifically Bad

    The whole field of evolutionary biology (and specifically cognitive evolution) is a mire. The statistical outcome is what we have to go from. Young men are the most biologically disposable, and they just so happen to also get a concoction of hormones at that time that makes them the most...

    The Layman's Understanding of AI's Value is so Horrifically Bad

    You don't know what you don't know is the wisdom of tradition. Those people may have lived, sure. In the past though, ignoring the traditional folklore of the monster in the woods (and why we don't hunt over there) results in you being eaten by a tiger. Those who believe survive more often...
