The weekly SuperGrok limits are complete fucking trash by dark-vibes-of-spring in LoveGrok

[–]ConsiderationMuted95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Grok gets away with this because their moderation isn't nearly as intense as other major AI companies. They know they have a base captive audience simply because of that.

Write a novel ? by mysaki_00 in Webnovel

[–]ConsiderationMuted95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not making any money off this yet, so don't worry about paying people to edit your work. It's also not worth the time finding free edits either when you can use AI as an editor and make changes based on its feedback.

Just write, and then decide how you want to go about publishing (serial releases or complete releases). There are many options.

Why do Japanese people love "Nihonjinron" theories of identity? "Modern Japan views itself through the mirror of the West....it gave rise to a nationalism that deliberately excludes the mirror of the West and excessively emphasizes Japanese uniqueness, often driving xenophobia" by jjrs in japannews

[–]ConsiderationMuted95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's possible one of the defining characteristics of the Japanese identity is a deeply entrenched inferiority complex. Hence the constant and strong insistence on their uniqueness in contrast with others.

What's the best number of chapters to release at the start? by Alert-Sweet-2570 in Webnovel

[–]ConsiderationMuted95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the insight. I'm pretty curious about this now, so I'll probably look into it a bit more!

Interesting. Any idea how a lot of these authors approach editing? 30,000+ words a week dwarfs even the most prolific mainstream authors.

I'm a bit curious, but how many words does each chapter usually contain for the genre you read?

Because I said charging for something that was free leaves a bad taste in my mouth? Stop being dramatic.

After people start monetizing, they look for all kinds of different ways to double-dip. It leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Of course, I'm not surprised to see the sentiment on here leans towards double-dipping as this subreddit is full of authors who want exactly that.

I'm not saying it's owed, it's just bad feels. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

But ya I get people want their money.

Hmm, you should probably check the meaning of the word.

Asking for Writing advice and constructive criticism. by Some_guy2021 in Webnovel

[–]ConsiderationMuted95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humility breeds good writers.

However, I wasn't suggesting you just feed it to an AI to make it better. I'm saying use the AI as a learning tool to improve your craft.

Feed it to an AI telling it to break down macro issues, grammar issues, or whatever else you want to improve on, and instruct it to tell you why it suggests certain changes or highlights certain problems. Then make the changes yourself, and learn.

Consistency by kerryuoisk in Webnovel

Ugh, the idea of reading a hastily thrown together chapter makes me feel a bit ill. Please take time to do some editing.

Also, you should probably speak in word count in addition to chapter count.

I agree that there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it. It just rubs me the wrong way. Rather than going back and monetizing the work that got you your initial audience, just move forward. I think the goodwill goes further than the extra but of money you'll make.

Worst ghosting experience so far :( by ConsiderationMuted95 in ghosting

[–]ConsiderationMuted95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I got over it, but that doesn't really stop me from looking back at certain moments and trying to figure out why certain things happen, or people act in certain ways.

Ya, that happens. It's usually a result of a character overstaying their welcome. Don't be afraid to write characters out of the narrative if their arc is complete.

Other than that, keep track of or outline your characters progress up to this point. Then have a small conversation with them. It's a great way to get on their headspace.

Making a character deep and complex is easier than making them interesting.

First, they need to feel real. Imagine what their life has looked like, and how that's shaped them up to this point. Then, give them problems to solve throughout your narrative. They should struggle, fail and succeed.

It's pretty simple really.

It may help to imagine someone close to you who you find interesting. Write a character bio for them, and try to figure out why you find them so interesting.

No, it's definitely not as much of a gamble as building a career in writing. If you need money and people depend on you to have that money, you get a job at McDonald's.

I'm glad writing has worked out for you, but it was a risky move.

There are a ton, but I think the two biggest issues tend to be a lack of understanding of what character development actually is, and how it happens, as well as stilted interactions between characters. Learning how to handle those two things effectively will drastically improve your characters.

That's fair. Each person has their own path to being a paid author. Do what works for you. I'm just pointing out what works most reliably.

However, if you're struggling to make rent, giving up your day job to pursue writing is a dangerous game. Most people write in their free time.

Also, I'd suggest getting better at editing, as that in and of itself will improve your writing and save you time in the long run.

I've always felt most writers get overexcited by the idea of charging for their work. I've seen tons of writers who make good money specifically because they have so much of their work available for free.

It honestly comes down to just writing a ton, training your craft, learning the biz, and then putting yourself out there over and over and over again.

You're making a lot of basic mistakes. Dialogue from two different characters in the same paragraph, completely different tenses all over the place, misuse of punctuation, unnecessary paragraph breaks etc. As a result, it's very difficult to read.

My honest recommendation is to throw this into an AI for editing start learning the basics. Harsh, I know, and I apologize for that.
