>What is /wng/ — Web Novel General?
A general for readers and authors involved or interested in the growing phenomenon of 'web novels', serialized English fiction posted to websites such as: Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribblehub, Wattpad, Archive of Our Own, Spacebattles, HFY, various personal author websites, and more

>Why read web novels?
Not for prose or tight editing or deep themes, frankly. 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. See graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators/writing for an idea of what some are earning.
Also, once an author has earned a fanbase, transitioning into an Amazon self-publishing career is several orders of magnitude easier than starting 'dry'.

>have to refrain myself from using em dashes because its apparently a red flag from reading stuff thats been used with AI
Now I just replace it with commas now. It sucks that they've been popularized to the point where people dismiss it as AI. Parenthesis would look too out of place too.
>>
>>25180602
what's the point? if you aren't AI you won't actually pass as AI. and any nitwit can take 2 minutes to figure out the tells, and tell their ai to do whatever else. and that's what people have been doing for years now

I spam em dashes all the time and no one has suspected me of AI use. Except one retard, but he was whining about dialogue, not dashes, because he felt the MC was "too cool" whatever that means.

I wrote myself into a corner.
The scene is about two fighters and suggests that, in-universe, the veteran champion is going to win against the underdog.
But meta tropes essentially dictate that the underdog will win.
So, if the protagonist lampshades the outcome, does it leave the audience believing the trope will be played straight, or that the acknowledgement means it will be subverted with the underdog losing?

Maybe you wouldn't have this problem if you didn't dully explain everything to death before anything has even happened
>>
>>25180599
you completely missed the point. It wasn't that men can't exist on their own, it is that a world of only men has no straight men in it. Your ramblings are completely unrelated.
