    When I post a new chapter, it doesn't show up on the home page (at all). Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    2nd Language English

    Probably prepositions (in, by, under, on) etc. but overall, I don't mind books by non-native speakers if the story is interesting. I've edited short stories of non-native speakers before if I really liked the story. btw, the pronunciation is 'grammer' but the spelling is 'grammar' and I don't...

    Does chapter size matter?

    Is there an ideal chapter size you aim for? Want to read? etc? Are big chapters deal breakers for you?

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    This depends on the school. Unless you have some sort severe illness that kept you out of school for one year, you're not repeating a year. It's compulsory so you MUST continue on to the next grade, no matter your scores. In Uni, you can repeat a year, but from first grade to the last year in...

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    Yes. This is true. Compulsory education stops at middle school and you can either go on to high school or go straight to work. Yes, and yes. It's going to be a vocation. There's also the option of going to a vocational school where you learn a trade. You would start at a low menial job and work...

    Life at a Japanese school AMA

    Nothing. So long as it's your natural hair color, you are fine. There are a number of Japanese people with STRIKING red hair. They stand out a mile away but it's their natural color do it's fine.

    How do you write a morally questionable character?

    Nah. That old person has already lived their lives. Besides, their karma was so bad that they ended up on the tracks. Save that kid. 😶😮😦😮😶 All characters are morally questionable. The only characters that aren't are boringly prefect Mary Sues. Even Ironman was an arms dealer. Make a flawed...

    Blurb feedback

    I'm not sure if we're able to ask this here. If there's a better category for it then please point me to it. I'm terrible at blurbs and I'm having a real problem with this one. Could I ask for some feedback? The book is called "The Me You Stole." And yes, I know the blurb is bad.

    How do I keep check on all my comments?!

    Whoa. This would be nice. I imagined it would look similar to the "notifications" page in the forum. You know, when you click on that bell, you can select "show all" and it takes you to a page that lists ALL notifications. Something like that.... Yeah. It's not always common. But usually if...

    How do I keep check on all my comments?!

    I would sincerely, and I mean this, sincerely love it if there was just a page for comments. Like you can go to that area and see all the comments and the chapters they are from and if there is a quote, then see that one, too. Having them all in one spot rather than having to jump around would...

    Question about prologue\chapter 1.

    Personally, when I'm reading and I'm into it and then it ends abruptly and I'm asked to go to the 'second part' then I'm less interested in doing that. I mean, sometimes I can, but usually it'll be hard. So I for one would rather a full SINGLE chapter but I know that's not the norm necessarily.

    New here. What's this 'Series' feature?

    Okay. Thank you. Would be pretty awesome though if they could fall under the same umbrella but I will try the latter.

    Should I continue Writing this?

    If you enjoy it, keep going. Don't worry about the quality. Just enjoy the process and when you're done enjoying it and feel like giving it a good polish, then edit.

    New here. What's this 'Series' feature?

    So when I add a new story, it says 'new series.' A series could have a lot of books. I wonder what's usual when a story ends. If there's a book 2, do we keep posting on that first book's chapters or do we 'complete' it and start yet another series even if they are literally from the same series...

    First Chapter Feedback

    Okay, I've finished your first chapter. That was a very smooth read. It was a lot of info to digest but I think it wasn't overwhelming. I now see that I overlooked some things that were definitely mentioned in the story. I'll list them here but I want to say beforehand that when I went back...

    Ability to see how many reviews makes up that score

    I only ask because if we go into the book info, our views are counted with the visitors' views so I literally can't get that info, even in the dashboard. I thought this was for any feature, not just critical ones. I'll be more careful in the future. 🚶🏽

    Ability to see how many reviews makes up that score

    Yes. At least on the dashboard. I saw that I had 5 stars for one book and was surprised to find it was by 5 different people. Then I had 5 stars on another story and realized it was only one rating. Even if on the dashboard, it would be useful to know how many people made that vote.

    First Chapter Feedback

    You're right. I'll go back and fix this. Okay. You have a point. I'll change this. I'll also clear up the bit about who said 'unhand me.' Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I found your story and I'll give you feedback shortly. Thank you so much for your thorough feedback. It was very helpful.

    Ability to see how many reviews makes up that score

    We see the reviews and we see the stars but unless we go into the book page, we can't see how many different users voted for that 5-star? example on the profile page we see: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5) can it look like...? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5) (22 ratings)
