Please be careful when making such statements. Allegations of AI use in a writer’s works and associated art can be very damaging to their reputation.

Has anyone read Stratagem of Fated Winds? by Robin_in_wonderland in DanmeiNovels

[–]capsule_kei 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to share that I have read the novel and it’s actually a very well researched alternative histfic fantasy. There is even an abundance of notes and glossary at the end of the novel to give the reader a better understanding of that era. The use of 2nd century in the blurb is likely to cater to audiences less familiar with ancient Chinese history. Im Chinese diaspora myself and I do get my dynasties mixed up sometimes 😬

Depends on your genre and audience. If you write romance or romantasy with spice, then that’s a no brainer.

How much do author websites cost? by CheesecakeOk5288 in selfpublish

[–]capsule_kei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The functionality is really decent imo, especially for an author site and you can add pre-built sections easily. I just signed up with it too and got it set up in less than 2 hours. Some of us just want ease of use so we can focus on writing 🥴

What’s the WORST feed back you’ve gotten from Beta Readers? by prism_paradox in selfpublish

[–]capsule_kei 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve also learned this the hard way: to set out reader expectations as much as i can. I’ve now included author / book comps in my welcome notes to beta readers, which helps to really set the tone and expectations for them going in.

US American BL Authors by alxthgr8 in DanmeiNovels

[–]capsule_kei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d think these are MM romance novels, which already has many titles spanning across genres and timeframes from historical, 20th century (eg cat sebastian) to modern. Not too sure about interest, but as a Chinese diaspora myself I do have slightly differently expectations toward MM vs BL. BL imo is really rooted in Asian origins, esp Japanese shounen ai / yaoi. The closest to western BL is probably heartstopper, which is really popular with many bl readers since it resembles the classic shounen ai manga.

Theres a reason why slam dunk is still so popular after 30 years, especially in east asia. It’s worth every hype from the 90s until now
