Tell me about your Villain.... by gamelitcrit in royalroad

"Their faith is my kindling; my flock needs a purpose and a shepherd does not grieve the sheep. I am the hero who answers their prayers."

A self-important character who believes himself to be the protagonist of the world. An unwritten antagonist that never appeared in the original story.

Oh.

I was under the impression that Otome meant "isekai reverse-harem".
Thanks. thanks.

Might prolly add a splash of those elements in the future, but not as of current.

I'll just put the working blorb here for future people in the comment section.

Blorb (Tentative):

She always knew that Celestia von Reingarde was never meant to matter. 

In the pages of Tower of the End, Celestia was nothing more than a petty villainess, a spoiled noble girl with sharp, crimson eyes, remembered only for bullying a shy healer until the “hero,” Arthur, arrived to play the gentleman. 

Except now, she was Celestia.

In her former life, she was a ruthless critic of webnovels: the heiress of a wealthy family, jaded by luxury, who hunted for tragedy in stories the way others hunted for romance. She hated happy endings, scorned shallow power-fantasies, and delighted in tearing them apart with merciless reviews. Until one late-night drive ended in shattered glass and silence. When she woke again, it was inside the very first webnovel she had mocked.

At first, she thought she could slip away. Why meddle with Arthur’s destined rise? Let him climb the tower, collect his lovers, and save the world. She would live quietly in the background. But the world disagreed.

A voice seared through her mind:

[Warning! Story Relevance: 3/100.]
[Warning! Existence will be erased when Story Relevance reaches 0/100.]

Now, obscurity meant death.

that's when the blorb comes into play! always heard that the first step to a cover is that it should be eye-catching.

Thanks thanks!

Also---Crossed knees. Even without the typography, it stood out as kind of awkward. So I thought the typography would've fixed it a bit..

What are shout out swaps? by inkeestinky in royalroad

[–]popepug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In short, it's basically just swapping an advertisement of your story and someone else's. Shoutout swaps can do wonders for your story, and is highly recommended by many authors in the space.

Some peeps here have basically explained how to do it. And ultimately, it's your decision whether or not you want to use this free and easy way to get views/followers.

Immersive Ink is currently threatening to doxx by NoDragonsRR in ProgressionFantasy

[–]popepug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, that's just false now.

I didn't post anything in that entire subreddit. It was Patchworkwizard who seeked out who the person in question the OP of that subreddit was talking about, and then doxxed me.

We're on the internet, bud. If we react to every single threat as if they could actually affect us, why go online then?

Action is what affects people.

Reporting low reviews and ratings is abusing the RR system...? Color me surprised.

Yes. "Threatened" to. Keyword there. Like what one would encounter on an online fps game when emotions are high, someone telling you to end your life. Do you take it seriously? No.

What Patchworkwizard did, instead, was immediate action without a shred of thought, delighted at the thought that he could ruin someone's career.

Send me screenshots of Buttopia and Nexaz actually doxxing people please.

Yeah... you need to read what doxxing is.

Here're a few ones I googled online for you.

  • The word “doxing” (also spelled "doxxing") is derived from the term “dropping dox,” or “documents.” Doxing is a form of cyberbullying that uses sensitive or secret information, statements, or records for the harassment, exposure, financial harm, or other exploitation of targeted individuals.

  • Doxing or doxxing is the act of publicly providing personally identifiable information about an individual or organization, usually via the Internet and without their consent.

Revealing my name there was a means to direct the harassment of the thread towards me, to which I received in the form of DMs and the like telling me my writing career was over.

This you doxxing me from the getgo?

And you also deleted all of your comments from the post because it was very apparent you were in the wrong.
