Just give the character an objective value in millihelens, which is the amount of beauty needed to launch a single ship.

My goal is to keep a backlog of at least a few chapters, but I'm running on zero right now. On the one hand the pressure of not having anything ready to ship helps pressure me into being productive, but it can lead to problems when I might want to change something that happened a couple chapters...

Meh. My feeling is that readers aren't really waiting around for the stories that they're following to be posted at a particular time. In fact, posting your story at different times might help more people see it that otherwise wouldn't.

Well... I don't know about that. Stuart Grosse's books (Lewd Dungeon, Dark Fate) both explicitly include rape, so it must be allowed in some instances. But then I think that if it's only in a book, then everything should be allowed. In my personal opinion? Go as far as you're comfortable with...

For what it's worth my vote is for the second as well. I'm a big fan of smut myself, but boring vanilla smut seems pointless to me. Unless what you're trying to do is a serious romance or something, then I say go for the more interesting option. Mind flayers and dungeons sounds much spicier, but...

Oh dear, I'm only on volume 6 so it's a shame to hear that the quality drops.

I'm reading the Overlord light novels right now, and even though the English translation is pretty bad, I'd still recommend them. Overlord also uses this trope to great effect. It's one of the rare stories I've read where the curb stomps are told from the protagonists' point of view, but still...

Still no.

I feel like LibreOffice and other editors are too heavyweight for web novels. They come with a lot of options that you just can't use in when posting your novel, and they don't really do anything to help you organize. I'm using Reedsy, which I'm pretty happy with. It's mostly a website that's...

<Old Man Voice> Back in my day we read our porn on alt.sex.stories on Usenet, back before any of these fangled new webpages.

Slavery, even sexual slavery, is pretty common in my setting, so right away that would at least normalize what was happening. Azalon would find the situation unfortunate, but he wouldn't think it was evil. I can't see this situation happening in my setting though, mostly because of the whole...

And here my biggest complaint is that most books aren't furry enough.

I'm actually including something similar to this in the book I'm writing. The main character has the ability to recall pretty much anything he's read. It probably would have been overpowered if he had read bothered to read up on topics like survival or plant identification, but he was a...

My book isn't exactly YouTube friendly, but feel free to talk about mine if you don't mind being demonetized. :)

Yep, yep, I was just about to say that. I've had mixed results there as well. Part of the problem is that the answers that ChatGPT generates are very authoritative sounding. It sounds like it actually knows what it's talking about. The chapter I'm writing now has the MC firing a crossbow, so I...

Yeah, if I did art professionally I would be worried about Midjorney and technologies like it. They can crank out passably good art with little to no effort. Even if something is a bit wrong, there's always photoshop to clean it up. The cover I'm using for my book was AI generated. I wouldn't...

It's clear that a lot of people have a contentious view of AI. Various ethical concerns, and what not. But even outside of all that and just looking at AI language models as an available tool, has anyone actually had a good experience with one? I've been playing around a little with ChatGPT and...

So in my spare time, I'd been reading a lot of smutty harem-lit, fantasy adventure type books. They're entertaining, but I usually found myself hating the protagonist. (With a couple notable exceptions) They tend to be an edge lord, unusually whiny, or just completely insufferable, so part of...
