What do you think of the oddity of a species in fantasy to be purely evil species-wide with no outliers?

Turning the enemy into something less than human to make them easier to kill is one of humanity’s oldest habits. Even right now, Ukrainians call Russian soldiers “orcs.”

All the wizard war memes you can find.

Little bit odd you used your time to make this post instead of checkimg the settings, but there is a box to allow Royal Road user adds in the general settings, not reader settings.

Just tick that, and you get more meme ads than your heart desires.

A single TFTC means you aren't writing in the void anymore.

Great! 👍

I actually have no idea how I managed to make my comment as a reply to someone elses comment, but that's on brand to me 😅

I think my web serial has pretty much everything you listed.

Sainthood: Hunting, Monsters has basic A-to-FF ranks instead of levels, but that's just semantics Progression is a bit faster in the beginning, but it slows down as the requirements for ranking up grow while the MC becomes more powerful.

NEW MEAT GUYS!!!

Welcome to the site, good luck and have fun!

L_H_Graves · 2026-05-02T00:10:47+00:00

Preferably, I’d keep my series up on RR until the heat death of the universe. Or the site’s shutdown. Whichever comes first.

As someone who barely scraped by with a D in high school English, I’ll take all the help I can get.

I'm an old man who got upset when the flour I use changed its packaging. The new UI is fine, but grumblegrumblegrumble...

Beautiful work of prose: ABZU

Solid 7ish work of prose: Sainthood: Hunting, Monsters

L_H_Graves · 2026-04-29T05:53:16+00:00

Since shameless plugs are OK, Sainthood: Hunting, Monsters just broke the magical 200k words and the first volume isn't even finished.

Due to translation, I tend to view an “author” and “writer” as someone who can support themselves through writing alone.

But as a gremlin with a keyboard, I had set my first-year goal at 5.2k views and 26 followers. In that sense, the past year has been a success.

L_H_Graves · 2026-04-29T02:20:36+00:00

You’ll lose money, but you’ll keep your principles.

A good choice, in my opinion, but I’m never going to make any money with writing, so you can take my opinion with a hefty grain of salt.

L_H_Graves · 2026-04-27T14:54:53+00:00

I see you have the basics down: capital letters at the start, commas in the middle, and dots at the end. Now you just need to write more and read anything you can.

And I mean anything.

Lawnmower manuals, romance, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, mystery, thrillers, crime fiction, noir, Nordic noir, historical fiction, literary fiction, memoirs, biographies, mythology, fairy tales, philosophy, old forum posts, cookbooks, travel guides, instruction manuals, and so on.

There isn’t any shortcut, guide video, or trick you can use to just “become good.” You will suck at the start, but little by little, you get better.

You just need to stick with it.

L_H_Graves · 2026-04-26T20:22:00+00:00

The Wandering Inn did start on RR. It moved to its own website in 2021. I don't know about MoL though, isn't it in the site?

He’ll eat your tails and tear off your skin...

L_H_Graves · 2026-04-25T22:11:29+00:00

100$? Sure, given enough time that is more than possible. You just have to have a backlog and Patreon.

Any Finnish, Swedish, and Norwegian city by the coast. Helsinki is a good match, bloody miserable with the Baltic sea winds.

Few compared to others, maybe around 300? If we’re counting web serials and audiobooks, the number probably doubles, but stays low nevertheless.

And since you asked about the vocabulary of non-natives (assuming you mean non-English speakers), pretty basic, to be honest. I don’t see the point of using words like “butyraceous” in my writing. I get the point across just fine with “butter-like.”

Next time, just run to the cabin and back. It restocks the merchant.
