Do a review swap or find someone to give you feedback so you can get critical opinions on your work.
like introducing ntrits simply, you just have to piss them off
fuck it, i will now comment 'epiku' on all chapters i likeBut fine. I might as well leave a comment on the few stories I read for a while.
I'll take it as a challenge. Even if it's just a "thanks for the chapter".
I hope it doesn't end feeling annoying to those writers.
keep commenting "amazing..." (don't forget the three dots) under every chapter and see how the authors rage and think you're passive aggressivefuck it, i will now comment 'epiku' on all chapters i like
So what I'm getting is, this issue with such low responses is lack of people making accounts.Just as a sidenote, readers do need an account to vote in polls so 'guest' readers who aren't signed up on SH can create views but not poll responses =/
I never said it was a good idea. It’s obvious that would be a result. However, the reason I said X chapters is because it is a setting the author can choose to enable themself and they can set specifically how many X chapters is.a
There is your comment, I might mixed it up with some other letter once in a while too ~ As a bonus, this would make the comment section look increasingly garbage - removing any remaining possibility of a proper comment, not just from silent readers but also the talkative ones :)
If you make it any more annoying, well, most readers are gonna jist read something else.
Yeah it is not a good idea...
say what you will, but when they got an opinion they sure do share. When you can incite THOSE sensitive cunts, that's when you know you've done good.But of course. I wholeheartedly agree that I need more toxic readers. I didn't even understand that my novel is shit cause everyone was trying to be nice.
...Its a comment. You're telling us your thoughts, not writing a dissertation.it's too much work to comment on stuff in any meaningfull way so why bother
i made a new novel recently that i think will accomplish triggering people even more than just me being a lazy cunt. You know those "no one believed me, now its too late" type of novels where every heroine is kinda a bitch and jumped to conclusions, only to regret it later? That.Honestly he is correct, managing to get a copypasta level reply telling him to shove it up his ass coz he was too slow to update stuff is when you know you have some genuine fancults starting.
I think the word I was looking for is Apathy - I(as in your average reader) dont care enough - Get me something to care for - It can be through pissing me of, having a waifu/husbando/char I am really invested in, something unique, weird plot, idk.
i actually did read some dude's work recently, cuz i promised and so i had to. KInda regret it, cuz while its not bad in itself the guy isn't a native English speaker and it shows. Very simplistic writing style, and a lot of "he said, she said"s that got kinda annoying to see after a while and just irritated me every chapter.Nah, people won't read your novel. A fair share of users here would like to pitch in with advice or review, gloss over your chapter. They would love to flex their skill as an author or try to flex their sense of humor. They would try to encourage you with sweet words and all the other little things. Actually reading your work? Most probably, not gonna happen.
i hold myself to the highest standarts of stupidity...Its a comment. You're telling us your thoughts, not writing a dissertation.
thats fairi hold myself to the highest standarts of stupidity
You know what, fair enough, I didnt realize the ego point.I never said it was a good idea. It’s obvious that would be a result. However, the reason I said X chapters is because it is a setting the author can choose to enable themself and they can set specifically how many X chapters is.
What this does is it acts as an indicator to the author the people that actually care enough to continue reading the fiction based upon how low they set that X chapters at. It’s more of an ego thing for the author showing hey at least people want to read it enough to put in the energy to drop that “a” comment. And is it really much different than a eating cookie blob comment which is all too common?
Another option that could be implemented is if the comment was dropped on a ‘payment comment’ there could be a checkbox option to hide those comments directly above the comment area if people really want to. You could also go a bit further by simply running a grade level readability formula on the comments to sort them out in case there were genuine comments from the ‘paid comments.’ In such a way it would even be possible to nullify ‘paid comments’ from the trending algorithm.
The other benefit to this ego type system to an author is that it could potentially provide them motivation to continue their work. This is in the case where there are people who genuinely enjoy their work but they’re all silent readers. A lot of stories end up getting dropped just because the author becomes demotivated from the lack of interaction where it becomes like they’re talking to the void for tens of chapters without a single response. A comment goes a long way on a psychological level for an author, even nonsense or a single letter response to some is treasure to them. A single sound, even if just a grunt, is all it takes to make a person feel like they’re not alone in the world. As they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Authors are fickle creatures at their core.
One last benefit is that it can establish a mindset in readers who have become complacent to the fact that they’ve received everything absolutely free for all this time. Someone took time to write this, they aren’t asking you for money as a payment, but to at least say something that lets them know you’re there if you enjoy it enough. Being thankful should go both ways. Thanks for the reader for spending the short time to read the work and thanks for the author spending X times as many hours of their days to write it.
So naturally there are both pros and cons to every idea. To simply write it off without actually analyzing and exploring the idea to the full potential is short sighted.
