I want reader-senpai to notice me.

Well crap. I guess I should track back and add a handful of tags per chapter

Ok, so I put in a blazing saddles reference in one of my stories fairly recently. Bonus points to whoever finds it.

The gate was being watched. But the reason you’re probably getting a leprechaun vibe is because I called her lass.

I would really appreciate it. I don’t know if there’s been a drop In quality or what? If you’re willing to put a fresh set of eyes on it I would be appreciative.

Is it though? I have no baseline to compare it to. If I go purely by numbers my likes on new chapters have been reduced by more than half. I feel like I’m losing it. It feels like none of my new stuff is getting as much attention as the old. Even when I start new threads with new characters? Is...

I was very diligent about my tagging at first and now I don’t bother. I figure if you’re sixty chapters deep you know what I’m about.

If they offer positive feedback it’s most likely in the hope that you keep writing. They like your stuff enough to want more, and that in and of itself is telling. Besides readers and writers have different goals and priorities. Readers first and foremost want to be entertained. If it does the...

Should I bother checking on here anymore? I really want to hear peoples opinions, and I’ve put out easily another 15 chapters since the last time anyone else has posted on here.

Yo I put out a short chapter on masochist mode.

I hadn’t seen it so thanks for the heads up.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

So I ran some math and about 3700 men would be assigned as alpha worldwide.

I would say anything more than six or seven and you start to dilute the formula. Honestly I think that after that point it gets harder for the reader to differentiate between them.

What other motivations, besides romance, might motivate a potential harem member to gravitate towards the main character? Does the snooty rich girl have a business deal to close that requires his cooperation? Does one share an outside interest that gives them mutual respect for each other? Give...

I love it when someone comes in and drops a dissertation in the comments, detailing what they think about each character and trying to figure out what is coming next. Just an absolute essay. Makes me feel cooler than a like.

Each nation should still have a organization that handles these things. So now you can have a whole bunch of characters that are spies but all serve different nations. The factions in one nation should work against rivals to consolidate power, but also band together to defend from other nations...

An easy way to break it up might be something like asking what each faction controls. Church- do they answer to the king? Polytheistic? Military - Army vs. Navy? City defense, Royal guard. Clear hierarchy. Trade - Money and finance can be included Artisans- building goods and supporting...

Maybe you can start not with the characters themselves but with factions and build down. You could then put the leaders of the different factions at the end based on what factions the reader chose. The sneaky part about doing it this way is that multiple people might fill the same roll, but...

The best advice that I ever got is that lore should be directly tied to the scene to drive drama. Example: you want to talk about boring court etiquette. Solution give the reader a flashback to a scene where the main character learned this in childhood. Something like “they were seated at the...
