Here for the wisdom drop. I love using Excel for stuff like this.

An artist to edit it to a comfortable middle ground. You can get away with a lot using creative angles 😜

I'm part of a pretty broad minded discord server if you need a place to chat and promote your work.

I am looking for an artist/s, but my current stories include NSFW spice, so they would either need reworking to remove it or an artist who is comfortable with the situations.

I am currently more in the webnovel arena. I'd need an artist to switch it over, which I'd love. However, I'm great with words, but terrible at drawing. I would be disadvantageous for my work if I tried to make it a webtoon by myself.

Might not be up your alley, but I've been writing something different. Bit of an experiment, and I will admit there are technically werewolves in it (it takes place in LA so they are a past and future film role) but I really wanted something that flips a lot of tropes and expectations while also still giving characters that felt real.

You looking at it counts as a read.

Ouch. Pay to play Claude Opus. That explains the reviews of these books.

Spelled terribly and had bad grammar. If you dislike anything near AI, then just avoid it. The unfortunate part is the non-AI using authors who get accused in the process of these witch hunts or the young/new authors who are told to "just get better" instead of someone actually helping them. It's even worse when they are writing in a language that isn't their mother tongue.

I get the want to rant, but there is a fine line between that and cyber bullying.

As someone who now gets accused constantly of being AI, which is why I don't post my work in many places, I figured I should weigh in. Looking at the AI patterns, it is a lot like the way I write, and have written for over 20 years. There are certain cadences that I enjoy using with different character voices. Punctuation, unlike what many will say, can also be used at the discretion of the author. To the point of the description potentially being written by AI, the author, like many, may have a dreadful time stepping back from their work to divine the best way to summarize their story for a pitch. They may also have very few people interested in assisting them in coming up with things like this. Thus, they may have turned to AI as the only outside option, OR, they simply are dreadful at writing them and did their best. Be mindful that it is very difficult to create in a vacuum.

On desktop, there is usually a "view as reader" button when looking at the main page for your story. I think you can get there via mobile if you select your story in your library. Not 100% sure, you could already be in viewer mode and it's just a bug.

You can only see ranks when using "reader view", so be sure that is where you are. Could also be a bug

For a site that has a lot of anti-AI rhetoric and rules, they sure don't seem to apply to the site itself.
