As someone with a career in science and Asian heritage, I personally won't read something that I don't find accurate enough in those areas. It's a subjective threshold depending on the individual expertise of the reader on the subject imo. Having some here and there is probably fine. But if the...

Here on SH, individual chapters are usually 1.5-2.5k on average I think. But don't let that be the sole reason to dictate your chapter length. It mostly depends on your writing style and your update schedule. You want the chapter lengths to best present your story and you also want to be as...

I'm here to retaliate against @tiaf by shamelessly promoting their novels. They also make good art to bless your eyes with. :blob_uwu: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/77274/bl-harem-denial-i-want-to-be-a-harem-god-but-there-is-only-me-left-on-earth-until/...

This is the most unselective open-minded 'I'm looking for' request I've seen here in a hot minute. :blob_joy: The ideal potential reader. I can feel our rabid authors salivating from a distance.

Oh no, I meant more like idk how complicated it would be for Tony to tweak the coding of this feature. From my perspective, it looks simple enough to change some definitions in the coding just to exclude 'dropped' from the total readers count. Or if people are upset about it enough (idc either...

idk, i'm not well-versed in coding or how the stats systems work it's a brand new feature so it may just need to go through some refining and tweaking? you can consider making a feature request about it if you feel strongly enough

Some people just don't want to read a certain genre/tag that often pairs with other genres/tags they like. I write Chinese BL. My current novel is xianxia BL and I just have to accept the fact that some people will place my novel in dropped because it's BL. Some will also avoid my novel because...

There is none really. Your current readers now get notifications every time you update, so they will see it regardless. If you are trying to target new readers, consider varying your upload time of day to get some exposure in all the time zones? Other than that, there is not much significance...

Welcome to SH. Good luck on your novel! It's got a lovely cover and title font design.

A variety of reasons. Writing a novel is like being in a romantic relationship. A lot of them don't work out for all sorts of reasons. It's pretty uncommon for someone to end up with their first love or get into a long-term relationship on the very first date right? Sometimes they are...

Aww, that's a shame for writers and readers of less popular genres then. If the trending list is set to a specific number and not a % of the total, that means as SH grows and the discrepancy in genre popularity naturally increases via the sheer number of novels, it becomes increasingly likely...

Oof darn that's annoying. Is this a new recent thing?? Because I have been on SH almost daily since April and I've never had this issue even when there were no BL novels in the top 50 (if we're talking about overall). I was always still shown trending novels within the BL genre. I hope this...

It doesn't work the opposite way either when I try to block genres instead of release filtering for them. I tried to block 'litRPG, 'harem' and 'isekai' one at a time to test but they still showed up in trending.

Yah, me too. My friend also has the same issue. 😔

I prefer numbered chapters with a name attached (i.e. ###. *insert chapter title*). Unnumbered chapters make it so hard to point out a certain scene to friends because it's such a pain to look for manually if there are 50+ chapters in that novel. Also, this is probably not considered a small...
