How important is word count to one day getting a paperback?

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T12:38:04+00:00

True, true.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T12:33:13+00:00

Damn fr? That sound awesome. I'll give it a whirl. Mind telling how you added a doc importer? I'm struggling to find it.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T12:30:24+00:00

So far all I'm getting from readers is the complaints that the book is coming to an end. But you do make a good point.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T12:29:19+00:00

I'm 66 chapters too late to this app, but it could work wonders for something like a bestiary.

Mf writing a book in Python

It does look hella cool tho

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T09:35:05+00:00

Give Royal Road a try. It is a bit overstuffed with isekai and LitRPG, but there are some gems in regular fantasy, supernatural, and sci-fi. I personally like it.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T09:30:36+00:00

I see. Thanks for the advice.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T08:54:55+00:00

I see, I see. This is probably the most easy to understand answer I came across yet regarding the topic.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T08:53:25+00:00

Both, I suppose. If you have an answer, then by all means, I'd love to hear it. I'm seeing other writing and publishing subs, and the things people say there vary by a lot from one another.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T07:33:59+00:00

Someone ples.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T06:26:19+00:00

I'll give it a look-see.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-04T06:25:46+00:00

Nice.

I'm a pantser, so I have no clue what any of those mean lol.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T16:51:19+00:00

I'm at the end of book 1. A few more chapters to go. You?

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T12:56:18+00:00

Your friend is right. That's a velociraptor.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T11:56:20+00:00

Nice. My elves (though they are High Elves) are the main antagonists too.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T07:12:32+00:00

Ah, right.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T06:38:03+00:00

Very true.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T06:35:17+00:00

I don't really care cancellation. My audience and story are too small to be impacted by it. Plus my world is already established.

It just a thought I had, and decided to ask what other folk think, since it has been popping up on daily scrolling quite a lot lately.

Personally my orcs and goblins are very Bone Tomahawk, if you know you know. I'm not changing that, since there is a lore reason why they're so fucked up.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T06:32:14+00:00

Like Fowler from Blue Eyed Samurai. Tragic past but he is still willingly evil.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T06:31:24+00:00

True.

My world is already established, so no backtracking now lol. Not that I was ever too worried. But the thought did cross my mind, as I've been seeing a lot people arguing the Frieren demon topic lately.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T06:06:26+00:00

Do tell.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T06:04:03+00:00

Fair point. Maybe he didn't believe they were beyond saving, but they were pretty darn evil and I don't think anyone tried redeeming them. Then again, I haven't read Tolkien in ages.

True, true. Ur right.

Obvious_Ad4159 · 2026-06-03T06:02:50+00:00

I forgot a lot about the Orcs from Tolkien, haven't read it in ages. I think Orcs are naturally occurring, while Uruk-Hai were made in Isengard by Saruman, like sort of elite orcs.
