It took me a long time of try and error, but...

I now know what the audience in SH, AO3, and DeviantArt want!
Drumroll...
Smut.
Start the smut from the first chapter. The more twisted and filled with emotions it is, the better.
I can't imagine doing something like that with a female character, though.
Do you agree with that? What wisdom will you share with this BL Witch?
Happy writing, everyone!

Maybe write a book without smut too. It's important not to use it as a crutch in your writing.

Sex sells.

And I do enjoy first chapter porno to sell the work as porn

Oh, wow, nobody has ever reacted with the angry emoji to my post before. Can I ask what brought it about?

Because you're parroting the lie of smuthub being a thing when it's not.

And it gets bothersome to see it keep on being brought up time and time again when multiple people have already disproved it over multiple threads.

I linked the most recent moment where someone disproved it in the second post, but it's definitely not the first time someone did that.

I wasn't trying to insult someone with this post. Just to point out what I found out.

You didn't insult anyone. You just parroted a lie that I'm too tired of seeing.

You know what REALLY sells? Furry stuff. Only God know why, but furries have absolutely crazy amount of money. Well, maybe they don't have that much, but they spend a lot of money.

A quick google search. The baseline cost for fursuits will pretty much always be upwards of $2000

Do crab humanoids count as furry, Sailus? Asking for a friend. :p

Everyone dump your smut onto RR. It's time to knock them down a peg. :blob_cookie: :blob_cookie::blob_cookie:

Ok, lets just say it's really popular then? To have an idea for myself, i just checked all time top 50 novels, 35 of em are smut harem lol. And even for the monthly recent list, 27 out of 50. So not exactly smuthub, but certainly quite popular on that front. Personally can't say i see the appeal, it just seems boring to me for a novel to have too many sex scenes, but eh, people vote with their interactions i suppose.
