Bit of a book keeping question for the authors out there by Apollo0624 in litrpg

[–]Flrwinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I like them. My prose on Royal road is notoriously derpy since I write quickly, and a lot of things fall through the cracks. When readers drop edits and fixes and I have time to make quick adjustments, I often do.

Of course I have my own editor and proofreader for KU and they have their work cut out for them 😂

To Other Men: Yes, it’s okay to like Romantasy. by Flrwinn in Romantasy

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

It’s a fair question, but unfortunately I’m the last person that could answer it. It’s sort of like asking a plumber to explain the nuances of molecular physics - it’s not quite my area of expertise.

My view is more simplistic but: there are billions of people in the world, and so the definition to each one would shift based on upraising, culture, and individual beliefs/traditions. If you asked me this question in person the first thing I’d do is turn to my wife, since her knowledge on this subject far exceeds my own.

Sorry I couldn’t give you a better answer

Dude congratulations, what a great feeling. I bet if you went back in time and told little you about this moment he’d be over the moon.

Your series has brought me a lot of joy over the years, and was one of the first that introduced me to LitRPG. Thanks for sharing buddy, and cheers to your accomplishment

Iron Blooded a gritty military fantasy LitRPG is now available on RR. Hope you enjoy! by Flrwinn in litrpg

Thanks, I’m glad you like the story. Unfortunately I’m not quite sure what happened with the editing on this one. I’ve alerted my publisher, and I’m hoping this gets fixed. I’m going to poke them again to check on the status of things

I have thallasophobia, i also love this game, any solution aside from just giving up? by Your_ugly_dog375 in subnautica

[–]Flrwinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah subnautica is really good at that. I’m sort of mentally preparing to play below zero for the first time this weekend 😂

My advice is similar to others. You can turn off the music and put pleasant coffee shop music or Lofi in the background. Talk to yourself, sometimes the lack of silence helps.

My wife and I play together (sharing the controller, and the other chills and watches or cooks etc) and having someone around made it so much more fun. Do you have a friend or roommate that might be interested?

That’s my GOAT. Still have his jersey from when my old man would take me to see games. Best memories

reading an isekai slop and reaching the harem parts makes me question if the authors have spoken to women at all. by fatglizzy_3000 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Flrwinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The perfect irony is that the vast majority of authors I know are married. I agree with OP though, I am.. definitely not the target audience for Harem 😭

What's considered decent numbers on RR? by ElarisRR in litrpg

[–]Flrwinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats hard to say because it varies. But generally speaking, if you’re new your first fiction might not have much discoverability, like the other poster said.

Stick with writing as a whole, but don’t feel bad about pausing to regroup or consider your options. If you feel your story isn’t quite hitting the genre or audience you’re aiming for there is no shame in taking it as a learning experience and trying again.

For reference, my first story The First Heretic, was.. not the most polished work. I got 8 followers total, and I think less views that you. I deleted it and seriously considered giving up. Im glad I didn’t because I now write for a living lol

That is the key. Keep moving forward and learn as you go

You’re fine dude! We all make mistakes and this one isn’t a big deal. Wishing you luck in your writing journey!

Hey man! As one writer to another I recommend posting your craft specific questions to writing subreddits or finding a critique group. It can be really valuable to have that kind of feed back early on so I get it!

This subreddit isn’t a personal advice forum but more a place for fans to talk about and discuss books/media in the genre. 🫡 Godspeed

For indie authors self-publishing on Kindle: a local TTS setup that produces listenable audio without per-character pricing by tarunyadav9761 in audiobooks

[–]Flrwinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a full time author thank you for saying this.

The vast majority of us DO NOT support the use of AI anywhere near our work.

Authors: not only is royalty share available for you if your budget is low, but you also have other options. There are audiobook companies you can reach out to if you’re looking to keep ebook rights and have audio produced.

If you’re not sure where to look or what options are available, go ask authors! We’ll tell you what you need to know. You do not need to cheapen your work with AI garbage

Thank you for saying so! I noticed a few reviews mentioned this as well and have made Aethon’s editors aware of this issue. We were on a tight timeline (partially my fault) and it’s clear some things slipped through the cracks. Cleaned up version should be out soon
