    1. Re: Got a 1.5 rating

      I was expecting it, but it's a bit weird to have one rating be 5 on one series, and on the other series, it's 1.5. They only did the overall rating and rated nothing else, so I think I know what happened (...)


    2. Re: Got a 1.5 rating

      I just still don't even see why we need star reviews on a fee site. Like that criticism that @sensibleshroom  gave 2 posts ago to the OP is just as potent here on a forum as it would be plastered like (...)


    3. Re: Got a 1.5 rating

      Okay, i have read chapter 1, and there are some glaring issues from the get go: Your M.C is whiny about something that doesn't matter, because most people hate their jobs and they keep on going without (...)

    7. Re: Got a 1.5 rating

      Ah... Well, I really doubt that your work is actually 1-star material. Please don't take the ratings too seriously, especially when it's one with no explanation behind it. You could just chop it up to (...)


    8. Re: Got a 1.5 rating

      .5 and 1 ratings sometimes get canceled by the mods as trolls if you kiss their ass enough. 1.5 ratings never do. The 'new smarter trolls' thus use the 1.5 as their new way of hurting decent writers, (...)


    9. Re: Got a 1.5 rating

      Do you pay the couple of bucks a month to be a premium account? It's very worth it, IMO. As an author it lets you know at what chapter that rating was tossed.  A lot of people toss ratings out on what (...)


    10. Re: Got a 1.5 rating

      I read your first few chapters. Frankly, you are going to pick up more poor ratings. Readers form a certain expectation based on your synopsis. And they take your words and add their own interpretation (...)

    12. Re: How long does it take to gain a following?

      I can wholeheartedly recommend JF Brinks guide - https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/116847 It's what I've done and it's going great so far. Thanks for the guide! It helped a lot!


    13. Re: How long does it take to gain a following?

      Hey there. I've been on RR for two weeks (as of today) and have been uploading one or two chapters a day since. I currently have 25 followers, but I'm not sure how genre and all of the other variables (...)


    14. Re: How long does it take to gain a following?

      For a better start of your fiction it is around 1/day uploads for 2 weeks straight and then moving to your normal schedule after that. Don't miss any days and just wait it out. A lot of people typically (...)


    15. How long does it take to gain a following?

      Hi, guys. So, I'm pretty new to Royal Road, and I've seen on the forums that it is generally considered appropriate to upload 3-5 times a week. I currently only have three followers, which I'm pretty stoked (...)


    16. Re: Basic description or detailed?

      I like descriptive if it's important, and basic if it's not. The key to it is a good balance of the two in my opinion, but not everyone will agree with me.


    17. Re: LitRPG

      I both read and write litrpg, and i enjoy the stats when reading the novel or webcomic, as I'm a massive mmorpg fan. However, when it comes to writing it, I hate it. One thing I can assure you is that (...)


    18. Re: How do you motivate yourself to write?

      I think the main thing that motivates me is habit. It's just a habit at this point for me. I can't go a full day without at least getting 500 words out, and I feel like I'll go crazy without writing something. (...)


    19. Re: What's your absolute favorite sentence from your current wip?

      This is from a chapter near the end of Episode Three (which I haven't posted yet)... but it makes me happy every time I read it. Corva steps across the threshold and stumbles in, showing all the grace (...)


    20. Re: What's your absolute favorite sentence from your current wip?

      Not wordplay, really, but out of everything, I'm still really proud of this one sentence from the first chapter. There, past the ivory balustrade, past the canal shimmering in the lantern light, past (...)
