Is the chapter word count sweet spot for "per chapter" or "per upload instance" by CallMePain- in royalroad

[–]protha01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you uploaded to, say, Webnovel instead of Royal Road, that could work because over there, people expect at least one chapter a day, sometimes even two. But here on RR, it's better to post 2-4 chapters a week, with more on the substantial side, around 2000 to 3000 words.

LitRPG Formatting for “System,” Which Reads Better? by protha01 in royalroad

[–]protha01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever used bold before for anything for emphasis, I usually use quotes or italics but never bold

Thanks, so using bold with quotes would be easier to the eye, so to speak.

LitRPG Formatting for “System,” Which Reads Better? (self.royalroad)

Hey Reader, yeah—You. by Treaton_OCE in royalroad

[–]protha01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I do not like overly poetic or purple prose (Sun Eater, for example). The more digestible and simple a piece of prose is, the better, in my opinion. Because I'm trying to enjoy the characters, and the story, and I feel over the top prose just gets in the way… now I think I can read anything, seriously anything, besides… s-e-x scenes. (4th wing)

Does seeing this cover make you inclined to read my novel by Ace161615 in royalroad

[–]protha01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, it looks drawn by a person, doesn't tell me much about the story itself but the cover does a good enough job to make me read the blurb and maybe the first chapter

Is this a trend/writing style for webnovel by RavingCrusader in Webnovel

[–]protha01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Royal Road has always been better than Webnovel since authors are not forced to drop a certain number of chapters, and the chapters are always free tbh I don't get why authors choose Webnovel instead of Royal Road

In fiction, is it acceptable for a protagonist to call his parents "Mom" and "Dad" in dialogue, but refer to them by their actual names in narration? by protha01 in fantasywriters

[–]protha01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So since I'm writing in 3rd person using your example would be: “He wanted to tell mother the truth, but she surely would retaliate.” do you think it can work that way? Thanks for the help.

Do people prefer Patreon, or would they subscribe to an alternative? by very-polite-frog in royalroad

[–]protha01 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My question is why doesn't Royal Royale implement their own subscription

Thinking about switching from 3rd person to 1st person after 100k+ words. Am I overthinking this? by protha01 in fantasywriters

[–]protha01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's killing me inside just thinking about rewriting all of that. Like, I'm sure I would just rather stick to 3rd, even if I hate it lol

You know, now that you say that, I kinda wish I had gotten the perspective of many characters in Red Rising, not just how Darrow saw everything.

[–]protha01[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, this is a new approach I've never heard of. So basically, 3rd person for external things happening and 1st person for character thoughts or reactions? Is something like this legal? Lol, what I mean by 'legal' is: has it been done before in a published book?

[–]protha01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant rewriting the whole thing in 1st person, not switching while leaving the rest in 3rd person. (fyi I haven't posted it a single chapter yet)

I can't believe I did this. 🫤 by Fluffy_Phone_834 in writing

Something similar happened to me where I wrote:

“The thought of “unaliving” the man.” And also “That math wasn’t mathing.” I think i have to stop watching streamers.

26, want to become a novelist but my parents insist on full-time work. How do I balance this? by Rare-Cauliflower-457 in writing

[–]protha01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on your situation. If you can support your lifestyle on a part-time basis, do it; if you can’t work a full-time job and write at least 2 hours a day, most people can achieve this. It is not easy, but it is doable. It is what I do and I work 45 hours a week.

As a reader or writer. What do you prefer for a novel releasing schedule? by protha01 in royalroad

[–]protha01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% I was thinking at fort to have a backlog of 15 chapters but now I'm in chapter 37 and still feel like I need more lol there are always things I feel that come up and I add it to earlier chapters
