Hey, So I translated what you wrote to English so I might have missed something in the translation. I think there were a lot of things I didn't really consider when writing this novel. I don't think it's that I can't write a strong story, I think I chose the wrong story to write for this platform. Right now there are three storylines happening at the same time. Although they will intertwine at the end of the arc and have it carry over to the next one, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to read it when the updates are so sporadic. I think as an author because I know where the story is going it distorts my ability to see the novel from the perspective of the reader. This was my first serious attempt to write a fanfiction and like most first tries there are problems that you can't forsee.
This whole novel could have been solved with two minor wishes. Wish One: Turn Issei into the hottest women ever. Wish Two: Have female Issei fall in love with the main character. Let the situation play out. The main character would have been the only male on the whole planet. Good job author.
Yeah, I agree with a lot of your points. Just from my point of view: I read a lot of the fanfics on this site and some of the most popular fanfics seem to be written by one handed eleven-year-olds with three fingers. I could copy their story and post it into an editing software and every word would have a red squiggly line under it. I think I put around twenty hours this month into what I produced, part of it is me being a slow amateur writer. Another part is editing it and everything else. Looking at the statistics compared to the time I took to write it doesn't make me feel like it was time well spent. If I had to choose between reading and writing I would choose to read, I write because I feel like I owe this community something back for all it has given me. At some point, you just have to take a failure for what it is, and start something new. Perhaps this storyline wasn't good enough, maybe I should have focused on a self insert pokemon novel, or a harry potter game of thrones crossover. I guess long story short so I can end this awful rant, I just don't like to fail or to continue to fail and this story just doesn't scream success to me.
Yeah but you misspelled it, it's tampon.
Bro. If I could change one way about how I write, I would learn how people on this site can do one-sentence paragraphs. It just isn't me, I will try to find better ways to split up my larger chapters, I think my paragraphs are too long as well. Just remember I am an ******* writer, so I am learning as I go.
Is this just to get the 15,000 words so you can go on the ranking board?
Man, you ask questions I have a hard time answering. This is going to sound like a weird answer at the start but bear with me. When I think of where I want to take this story I see snapshots of what I want to happen. So I'll write snapshot (a) and then I'll write until I hit snapshot (b), what I write in between snapshots (a) and (b) will sometimes change snapshots (c, d, e, f, etc.). As I write what I'm writing currently in this comment, Batman won't appear until the main character's age is somewhere in the ballpark of fifteen years old, plus or minus three years. This age is subject to change depending on future snapshots.
Hey, This is a really hard question to answer truthfully, not because I'm trying to deceive you, but because I am not sure of the answer myself. This story to me in its rawest form is a hobby and I just don't see that changing anytime soon. In my list of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly priorities, hobbies fall rather low on that list. Instead of giving you an affirmation on constant updates, the best I can give you is my goal. I would like to hit six chapters a month at the minimum, it might be three chapters one week and than a chapter a week after that or it could be two chapters every week except for the third week. I think this is the best answer I can give you today.
Thanks Miguel, Writing these chapters takes a pretty significant amount of time between outlining, writing, and proofing. I remember when I finished everything for chapter three I was really excited to post it. I clicked the post button and checked over the stats on inkstone and I was like "wow great, three hours of my time, and only 46 people are going to read it." As the story grew, the novel itself not the following it had, I came to enjoy being in the shadows as the story is still in the beginning phase. I don't know if my story is big enough to be fed to the wolves on the ranking board.
