    What tags bring the most traffic to your story?

    I don't know how to check the overall but the one I see most when checking is Pregnancy. Slave Protagonist and Smut are close seconds. They are a very small percentage of the total views though. :blob_sweat:

    Using POV's in the plot

    If it's from a separate character, make sure to show it's not the main character. I make mine super obvious, since I do a lot of POVs in my novel. It might also be good to throw an Unreliable Narrator tag on the story if your MC's worldview isn't realistic.

    Have you ever wondered...

    When I had time to read, I would have a tab saved for each novel I was reading. This tab would be on the most recent chapter, and I would check to see if the next chapter button was working yet. I would check more often when I was excited for the next chapter. Perhaps other people do the same...

    [NSFW] Topics that you don’t want to get involve?

    I don't like going into any details with adult content. Most of the lewd or unfortunate stuff in my novel gets a blurred description. The real important parts are the emotions and how people deal with situations. At least for me. I never liked reading the detailed horribleness myself, so...

    Three things for me to learn as a writer!

    I'm pretty new myself, so the only real advise I could give is: 1. Ignore 1 star ratings and focus on the feedback of readers who actually like your story. Trying to figure out some salty people's thought process won't get you anywhere. 2. Don't be afraid to test out something new if you want...

    Steampunk tag please

    I think people can make their own tags somehow. I've seen a lot of novels where they're the only one tagged with something like narutoxfatexdigimon

    Justifying genocide

    There are plenty of real world examples though, so I find it hard to call unrealistic. People aren't saints and even saints do bad things for people they love. If you are seeing these things a lot, then it means others must enjoy reading them. Sometimes it lets people feel a bit of that...

    Cringe stories?

    Post it and see if other people cringe. If they do you can always edit your chapters to be more dignified, but if you never post it you'll never know.

    Sometimes I feel, what's the point of saying anything?

    This is what I wanted to say, but I can also add something. Making people happy makes me happy. So even if what I say isn't novel, my reactions could help the other person. If you're an introvert like me and it feels tedious, then push on and you might feel rewarded when it's all done. I know...

    Chekhov's sniper rifle

    If it's not okay then I'm screwed. I have side plots that can take over 100 chapters to conclude. I think if you put little reminders in between it should be fine... Maybe. :sweating_profusely:

    When is a 1star rating justified

    My novel has gotten number 1 on trending twice now, making it onto the top 9 a few times. I don't think I did anything special to get there though. I didn't get the most views, comments or even a high rating. I'm new to writing, having just started right before Christmas so my work can't be that...

    When is a 1star rating justified

    I believe 1's are only justified for novels that break site rules. Most unreadable novels are just poorly translated, and I don't think that's worth a 1. As it is, the best you can do is learn to ignore any ratings that don't also come with a constructive comment or review. From what I've seen...

    Horizon of War : The Gods Must be Crazy Isekai

    I don't have as much time to read as I used to, but I looked over your first chapter. It's pretty good except for a few parts where the sentences aren't quite right. The only real issue I noticed is that it doesn't do anything to hook someone browsing quickly enough. Adding something strange or...

    How do you structure your publishment?

    Mostly just regular numbered chapters for me, although I did recently finish my first non-numbered chapter. It's not numbered because it has a different format from my other chapters, mostly being written notes by one of the characters. I could probably number it like normal, but I was feeling...

    Is this too dark?

    Just needs some editing, but it's not really dark. Maybe if the elf was your protagonist or part of the main cast with history for the reader. As it is, there's no connection to the elf, there's no hope that gets snuffed out. It's just someone who did bad things dying in a war.

    I need someone review my work

    Well, improving your English will probably be a good first step. For the spelling errors and tables I would suggest a program like Libre. It will let you copy over tables made in it so you don't have to manually format every one and catch most spelling and spacing errors. The English in your...

    I need an opinion on a cover

    Was going to ask if he was single, but you write BL so he's probably not. I'd say the top part definitely catches attention though. :blob_hide:

    I Nearly Died

    For some people cheese before bed can worsen the effects of sleep paralysis. Everyone else already mentioned the other stuff. Hopefully you can get better rest.
