    You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? (Author Rant)

    As a reader, I try and avoid such comments as they are nonconstructive and needlessly harsh. However, I believe there is a reason (although bad) why they do it. Many readers will get attached and connected to MCs, and thus will expect the characters to follow the same logic and mindset as...

    Is family important to you?

    I put C4 before reading the question and realizing this wasn't some abstract psychology survey. Alas, I must change my answer.

    As a proud friend of all hats, I believe it is.

    Writing I NEEED your opinions. 。゚(*´□`)゚。

    I feel like the most enjoyable 'villains' are those who are smart, charismatic, and loyal. There's something fun about having a really likable, reasonable villain. The type of villain that still opposes the main character and provides conflict, but does it due to good intentions rather than bad...

    Brainstorming to make a few things fresh or at least make sense in context.

    In my time reading, I've found that the best stories that have a spin on tropes don't actually have worlds that function that differently from what they are 'parodying' (for lack of a better word). I've found that the best trope-benders are those who create some narrative twist rather than a...

    What to call these guys

    The Promised Ones as a play on the promised land? Since this is based on Hinduism, arhats/arahant? An arhat/arahant is somebody who has reached nirvana, or the concept of godliness. This implies divinity without implying anything higher than a true god. Edit: This is more of a Buddhist thing I...

    Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe Assassinated

    Anybody angry with Biden knows his VP will probably be much worse. And Trump is an anomaly beyond anything I've seen before.

    Monster protagonist you wanna see more of

    I love stories in the perspective of eldritch beings, chimeras, and other such abominations, but for some reason they're almost always just harems/smut. I guess spooky tentacles = horny for some people. I find the threads and tentacles these monsters often use to be cool weapons, yet most people...

    Forgotten Title Bored Goddess or Something

    Was it a relatively new novel or did it already have like 30 chapters?

    Sad

    America houses many acres of land, and with that comes many town, villages, and cities. Some of these places' names are quite unique. We've got Satan's Kingdom, Massachusetts, a scenic village. We've also got the humble trio of Buttfuck, Nebraska, Dildo, Newfoundland, and Bumblefuck, New York...

    Guys - long hair or short?

    Ever since I grew out my hair, I've been getting compliments on it. These small hits of dopamine are all that keep me going. I physically require long hair to function.

    posting time advice

    As Agentt said, pander to your target demographic. If you have a lot of a specific timezone's readers, I'd suggest posting at different times in that demographic's day and finding out when your largest group of readers is most active.
