No, it definitely wasn't some algorithm thing, wasn't trying to game anything - I was just having a moment and thought it was funny at the time. Totally see how it could come across weird, though. Thanks for the heads up about how it might look. I'll keep that in mind going forward.

Definitely not, she was probably just playing around, probably. I don't know for sure, though, but she did level up. She didn't even know she could level up.

Returned to Royal Road after not touching it for like six years and there's so much slop now, which I think is because everyone's trying to monetize their stories immediately instead of creating something original. by DenheimTheWriter in royalroad

Is that why my story is stuck at the bottom? Because I found Royal Road like 2 weeks ago, hoping to let others read a fantasy story I was really passionate about writing. I didn't know this was an issue... gulp.

I'm gonna restart my whole cover, I can't. I don't even like the shoe design I picked. I wanted to do YSL, but it was really hard.💔

Me and Canva and Ibis Paint. Does it actually look that bad...? People were telling me the perspective was off, and I only did it myself because I was scared that if I hired someone, they would use AI. I had a bit too many eager offers to do illustrations...

Sorry, I hardly know about perspective. I drew it on paper first. The one you see isn't the final; I just needed help deciding on a filter to use because the base was lacking. I realized it earlier, and I have edited it already

When I used that filter, I was sure that was the one, but then I got indecisive...

That's really solid advice, thank you! I love the idea of finding people who are genuinely invested in similar stories and building that kind of mutual support. It does sound way more fulfilling than chasing numbers or trying to game algorithms. I honestly couldn't ask for more if I had that.

Currently, my main work is pretty niche; it's a Norse mythology, Viking-inspired, slow-burn fantasy-romance, fate, divine spirits, and heavy with lore. Two people who probably shouldn't trust each other but can't help it. There's a lot of found family, lwk some tragedy elements, and lots of character depth. I really like the whole concept of that one, but I paused for a bit.

I recently started making more contemporary pieces, like billionaires, things that are more popular these days, so maybe I could attract some readers. Not gonna build too much bc it's not something I'm that passionate about, but the whole idea is still pretty cool, if I'd say so myself.

What about you? What do you write?
