Do you read your webnovels?

[ElliePorter]

After writing or completing your works. Do you read them and say "Man, this MC is trash. I hope he dies" or "this woman is so damn beautiful"

Or do you proofread them and get done with it and read other peoples works?

I only have a single novel that I'm currently writing, and I'm writing it for almost a year now. Recently I was rereading it to re-edit everything and freshen up my memories so that there won't be too many plotholes. I don't read them as if they are written by someone else, as it happens in the process of writing.

 

[AliceShiki]

Not really. If I go re-read, it's because I need to remember something that isn't in my notes.

On rare times I go back to reading something I wrote years back for a roleplay, but that's just because the roleplay had sentimental value to me~

When I'm writing a novel, I will read it an un-countable amount of times. Afterwards, maybe once a year I may skim through it. But if I look too hard I will just wind up editing it more, instead of enjoying it.

 

[MarekSusicky]

Yes. A lot. Sadly, sometimes I hate how stupid MC can be. Even though from MC point of view everything makes perfect sense, haha.

 

[LordAstrea]

Yes, I do reread my story, but not necessarily for my own entertainment. Mostly to find mistakes, stuff for continuity, character development, pacing, etc.
But I will let out the occassional fanboy cry of, "I love mah catgirls so merch."

 

[KoyukiMegumi]

I always read my stories multiple times before I even publish the chapter. Every time it is for errors/editing. Though I always enjoy it too. BUT there is always a mistake to find as well.

 

[morhamza]

It is impossible to reread what I wrote and be struck by wonder the way my readers would. It is my story, I wrote it, that takes away any sort of entertainment I might've gotten had someone else wrote it.

When I reread my story, only technical errors appear out of ordinary. Just today I reread an earlier chapter and found out I'd called my MC by his friend's name. Things like that.

Why's the text green? Is it an... error that you need to edit...?

*Gasp* It probably is! Save me!

 

[K5Rakitan]

I don't usually re-read, but I think I may have to when my baby lets me start writing again. I worry about getting too far out of the zone.

would probably proofread or read so can think of how to rewrite/reddit it better. then go on read other people stories.

 

[skillet]

there are a few works of mine floating out there (not on this site) that I wrote a long, long time ago, and sometimes I do like to go back and reread them, just because it's surprisingly fun to. But that has to take about 2 years of not looking at it for me to be able to just enjoy them lol :D

I do, for the one I collab'd with someone with. It's on another site.

I do get irked with the grammar errors or the typos and stuff that I find like 3 or 4 years after the whole story's done. Still, I generally find myself contented with the story that my friend and I spat out and unironically like some parts of it very much. My only regret is that I wished we could have finished that story as a whole and not left it hanging after the arc that functions as the midway point of the story.

 

[Derin_Edala]

I read once after updloading as a final error check, and occasionally have to go reread chapters for details that I forgot to record elsewhere. I don't read my own works for enjoyment, I've already gotten everything out of them that I can.

I get the feeling! >.<

Re-reading collabs just has a nice charm to it, even after you realize how bad you were at the time you were doing that collab and how you're much better now... >.>

But yeah, a proper ending is always nicer than a rushed ending... At least you were able to get some sort of ending to it, that's always nice~

 

[gaylolis]

only once in a while, when i feel like it.

sometimes it made me surprised when it's actually a lot better than it was in my memories.

 

[BenJepheneT]

i'm still trying not to cringe whenever I read my old shit. I'm working on it, though.

Well, I won't say it's a proper ending, but I consider it more of a "one-season anime" ending with closure.

Wherein there is still potential for more plot points later, and we left it on a slight cliffhanger. However, the conflict at hand and all related plot points got wrapped up normally and I'd like to say decently enough.

I toss them into the garbage bin as soon as I'm finished
