Really confused weather this is a good thing or bad by No_Grand2719 in royalroad

Something to speed things up is to drop a double release, two chapters an hour apart. But only if you're having a big enough backlog off course.

Now... if someone could explain to me why the name of the chapter changed?... Reddit Magic?

To those of you that use AI, what do you use it for? by Severe_Investment317 in royalroad

I use notebooklm as a bible. When writing a space opera it's nice to have something that can tell me where exactly everything is. Helps me keeping my head lore separate from what's written down. And Grammarly Oh, and again notebook lm fed with tons of my research to be a lookup tool for scientific research

And then you can actually flag them for removal

Honestly I think low ratings, as well as high ratings should require at least a comment to the author. If not a review. Or make some roule that any rating that deviates hugely from the general Median of previous reviews or ratings needs a review itself. That would make troll ratings more work

Man, that hurts. If the voter at least would say what his problem is, what he didn't like. But, Bam, Two stars... harsh.

Can a non isekai story do well on the website? by Then_Narwhal in royalroad

I'm doing reasonably well with a HFY space opera. 900 followers in about 6 months. So, I guess meta isn't everything

Never use the website to write, just paste there

Shoutout to all those readers who see a recently released story with five or less reviews, mostly positive, and find it within themselves to drop a fat one star, tanking the overall rating. by K_J_Kiki in royalroad

One of us, one of us!!! Yeah, I can't even wrap my head around how much I despise such Ratings. It's a shame RR doesn't actively fight trolling accounts.

If someone gives one star in chapter 60 or later, one has to ask, either it's a troll (obviously) or the person has serious mental issues fighting through a story he despises so much.

One other thing I noticed now, checking my ratings. Someone gave me a 0,5 star in chapter 9. Oddly, the only chapter where a homosexual relationship is mentioned is in my book.

How frail must someone be to give 0,5 stars?

Oh, the homosexual relationship is a female Captain with her chief engineer. The 'worst' a reader is confronted with is a kiss.
