As a whole, web novels are infamous for content sprawl and pacing issues. If you enjoy having millions of words to sink your teeth into to get to know the world and characters, though, you may be interested. Keeping up with other readers on a weekly basis to discuss the story's events unfolding is another perk, in the same way discussing an ongoing TV show might be.>Why write web novels?Ease of access & potential for Patreon earnings. Many successful authors gain an audience on their website of choice and funnel their readers into a Patreon.

first for writing goon seshions with ai chat bots
When I get stuck writing I make the next paragraph a sex scene between the characters and write 500 words of fucking. Then I erase it all and get back to the real scene. I find this works well.
>>24797793You should save it, never know when it will come in handy. It's not like you need to ration storage.
>>24797721i live in literal third world country so something like 1k usd is already far above average wage. i wonder how hard it is to reach that kind of patreonbux
>>24797809Really hard. That doesn't mean it isn't worth trying though. $1k USD isn't beyond your grasp. I live in Canada so I'd need a lot more, which will never happen.
>>24797809>i live in literal third world countryThird worlders should just sign their rights away to the chinks at webnovel.com. Guaranteed few hundred dollars a month.
>>24797809doesn't need to be pure patreonbux, you can make quite a lot on amazon too. 500/500 a month is quite doable so long as you're writing to market, have high output, and are at least ok at writing sloppa
>>24797853>at least ok at writing sloppaThat should go without saying. Honestly we should rename it to web sloppa general since we keep getting people in here every thread who don't get it.
>>24797870Added to spreadsheet in OP.
>Ad looks like thisIs this the best way to get clicks? I like it.
>>24797888hurray!>>24797793one either loves writting sex scenes or dresds writting sex scenes. There's no inbetween.
>>24797870> Prince> Female Lead> No gender bender tagHuh? I sense a trap.
>>24797751I have exhausted all of my goonslop ideas that are AI compatible(remaining tastes are too esoteric). I hope that this will get me to start writing actual content again.
>>24797809And this is why third worlders will take over the art world.
I think my story just sucks and my attempts to go back and add things just makes it worse overall and snuffs out that spark of amateurish enthusiasm.
>>24797941Do I look like I would I ever lie to you, anon?
>>24797957Are you pubbing it or still editing it? Generally the best thing you can do for a story is finish it.
>>24797975Editing.
>>24797870nice saggy tits, who's the artist I like their saggy tits style
>>24797853>amazonQrd in making winnies on Amazon ?
>>24797983I draw these myself
>>24798011You'd have to ask Akaso, nobody else from ehre made it that far I think
>most successfull wng writer is making 4k/month>2nd most succesfull is making 250/monthgrimwhy is the gap so big between the 1st guy and everyone else
>>24798122He writes smut.
>>24798137>>24798122Yeah it's the smut, he writes smut. Same for wutosama's Metaworld Chronicles/Animecon Harem, you never hear about it but it makes bux because it's smut
>>24798122>grimAkaso had irl problems which hurt his growth. But the vast majority of /wng/ is just starting out. So keep that in mind when you look at FortySixtyFour, he's been posting consistently for six years when the market was nowhere near as tough as it was. Not wanting to downplay his achievements but it just is what it is, web novels are going mainstream now.
>>24798192ntaYou make a good point. I could add start and end dates on the spreadsheet.
>>24798203I think that's necessary so anons don't spiral out of control. If I bake the next bread I might add that Web Novels are going mainstream, and thus it's a lot more tough now.
I'm making a WN like Monster girl evolution but instead being the monster girl, you raise them from eggs->ducks/swans->monster girl. the main premise is slice of life usagi drop daughter raising simulator style in not-isekai world.picrelated are the two main heroines character designtop is the ugly duckling character, Odile (tentative name). - is very greedy, possessive and insecurebottom is the golden swan character, Odette (tentative name).- is very genki, airheaded and likes shiny/golden thingsthoughts? this is my attempt at making up something Japanese and i'm cringing already
>>24798209and yes they are very loosely based on swan lake
>>24797751i prefer to read fictionalized goon sessions created by actual human webnovel authors. no need for slopbots when there is more written smut on the internet than you can get through in a lifetime. unless you have super niche autistic fetishes
>>24798209So it's like digimon?
>>24798209will the daughterus be dicked?
>>24797904stick figure and meme ads are part of the RR meta. but generic AI generated images with words about OP MC are also meta (many authors even mention not especially liking ads like that but doing them anyways because they can see the referral stats and how well it works) because the median reader on this site is a fucking retard
>>24798144animecon harem was less famous and less patreonbux earning than re trailer trash from the same author. it's currently on hiatus though
>>24798122>>24798137>>24798144who's the 4k smut baron?
>>24798229>unless you have super niche autistic fetishesCan you really call yourself a true gooner if you haven't entered the Peerless Kink Realm?
>>24798209>usagi drop daughter raising simulatorin which volume do you plan to begin the daughtercest arc
>>24798037based
>>24798209Odile mating press
>>24798209How are you going to handle the wings getting in the way of everyday life
>>24798209Make sure to include lots of chapters where the characters have to pass massive eggs. Maybe a chapter where they hold hands and comfort one another as they each lay one. Thanks.
>MC's ai assistant lady constantly degrades the protag and is constantly talking about how much more attractive his best friend isIs the author just inserting his cuck fetish?
>>24798357>author just inserting his cuck fetishHow new are you?
>>24798122>>24798144That does it. I'm gonna start writing a smut magic college litrpg. Everyone's gonna love it.
Is the spreadsheet AI reviews anon still around? I'm still waiting for that sheet.
>>24798370Which sheet?
>>24798363You need an original hook to set it apart from all the others
>>24798229what about smut novels and not web ones? im trying to get into them but reading female perspective ones is aids, very gay coded desu
>>24798363Call it 'Dongmancy 101'
>>24798380iykyk
>>24798396>what about smut novels and not web ones?There's not much written for a male audience in the English market but you can read translated pornographic light novels.
>Read western harem story>The girls are all used goods and also bisexual with each otherReally?
>>24798410reading cumslut by b sojakken right now but its female perspective first person, scared it will turn me gay
>>24798421Well what kind of girl would want to be in a harem with some guy they just met?
>>24798421>I want a pure virgin girl who is also okay with marrying/hooking up with a guy who has three other girlfriends???
>>24798515t. sub 8 male.
>>24798526That's the blackpill, Jimmy.
>>24790858>>24790460Alright i'll bite, what are you two writing about?
>>24798570A whale that jumps out of it's tail.
I'm going to color code the durations of how long someone (has) worked on their story. What should the colors and divisions be? It could be as simple as less than a year and more than a year, or as much as a different color for each amount of years.
>>24798624I think the best divisions would be monthly and yearly. So if its under a year, it should be green (and this should be the big division, because there are so many fics that are like 2 months, a month or like a week old on /wng/). A year of work could be yellow, 2 years orange, 3 years red, 4 years purple, 5 years blue, 6 years gold, etc.
>>24797741Should the author spreadsheet be sorted by Followers or Status? It's currently sorted by Followers. Status would prioritize ongoing series (including stubbed) then by follower count.https://strawpoll.com/QrgewQV1ryp
>>24798673status prioritizing would be more convenient
Another Anonymous Amateur, The author of Glass Cannon — The wind blows me away but my spells destroy everything, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/132697, has deleted their story. They had 34 followers. They also deleted their profile. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/745943
>>24798766This was also deleted by them: Transmigrated as a mech, I now fight Kaiju Another Anonymous Amateur Completed 14 followersI could look in the archive to see when they posted about it first for a rough duration, but that's low priority.
>>24798766What?! Fucking why?! I didn't download it or read it yet.
>>24798776They mentioned that something bad happened irl before Glass Cannon started. Which destroyed their motivation to continue writing it.
>>24798776Shame because it was really, really good, and he was an exceptionally nice guy.
RRs ui is so bad. Why can't I see followers, views etc on the books own page?
Can someone explain me why ORV is this highly rated? I read approximately 230 chapters and it has been really bland with only a few moments that feel fresh...Will it get better? If yes why? Did I miss something?
>>24798766>>24798787Oh. That sucks. I hope they manage to get through whatever happened well enough.
>>24798808what the fuck is ORV? Why can't you niggas just type out the full name so we actually know what you're talking about?
>>24798766That's sad. I remember them being in the thread and asking for advice, and input. Hope they come out alright.
65 Amazon sales for Born Under a Black Sun. 35 of those from one day. Reddit advertising is the way
>>24798837Congrats man, very admirable.
>>24798837Yeah. There's not really any point advertising here, lol. This site is very niche.
>>24798209>monster girl evolution Yikes.
Does it get better or is MEOW just bad?It's popular enough on RR/highly rated enough to be in the bracket where the authors are usually competent but it's so dull.I get that it's being sold as "cozy slice of life" but there's very little actual life going on in what I've read. I've read plenty of SoL and know what makes the good ones tick and it's missing here.Maybe I should take literally no negative reviews as a warning from now on, idk.
>>24798794so you stop sperging out about numbers and just read
>>24798252Yeah with that author everyone's been begging them for years to drop everything and just write Trailer Trash and they won't do it lol
>>24798857>can see the numbers in serach results, latest updates and rising stars>can't see them on the books own pageHow does this help with sperging out or not sperging out. It's just inconsistent deisgn
>>24798888you can't see them in latest updates
>>24798766It was in my backlog...>>24798817>Will it get better?For me, it was good from the start, so idk what to tell you, anon. Sometimes there are novels you don't click with.>>24798808>What the fuck is ORV?How don't you know ORV? I'll tell you just this time, even if you didn't ask nicely, the novel is called "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint".>Why can't you niggas just type out the full name so we actually know what you're talking about?I agree with your statement though, even if typing every time the full name of "That one time I reincarnated as a black man in an NTR novel, but why does my mother look at me like that? ~This life I'll gather a harem, starting with my big sister~", its better to do it than to not do it imo.>>24798853>MEOWLike, how am I expected to know what the fuck MEOW is?
>>24798921Meow isn't an abbreviation
>>24798842Only retards advertise hereLeaving the fact that most of the userbase are zoomers who don't read, the chances of catching a sperg that will try to doxx or tank your story is very high
>>24798926See, if we didn't do abbreviations, I wouldn't have made that mistake because we just type the full title every time.
>>24798766Damn. Sad to see. I hope the author is doing alright
>>24798588Holy shit!
>>24798921I don't care or bother with Webnovel web novels.
>>24798817this is a general for web novel readers. if you don't know the acronyms of the major serials then go google it or at a very minimum shut the fuck upwhen did anons get so brazen and indignant about being newfags? sad state of affairs
