I thought I might put up a Q&A for people, to get answers from readers. There were a lot of reasons for this.
Partly also I'm trying to hang on and people had misunderstandings on some things. I also want to develop trust with readers and listen to them.
So below you can put responses to some of these ideas. Or if you are more comfortable with it you can reply to me privately.
...
- What do you want to see in the sequel for Enchanter in A Monster Apocalypse for book 3? (Plz try to reply w/o revealing spoilers, etc.)
- Also what do you think of a story series where the whole planet is female? Would readers like this? And how would they like it set up?
- What do readers think about a space themed RPG world? (Not connected with question 2.) I'm interested in exploring some sci-fi themes, both with starships for one world, and androids for another world. What do you think?
- Also, what do you think of a cow udder tits harem world? A world where all the women had basketball sized tits pretty much, where flat chests didn't exist, and everyone had ranges from at least cantaloupe size minimim on all the way up until...yeah. This seemed like it would be really fun to try! I'd like to get reader feedback on this idea especially! (I think I could make it work, if I had it seem and feel logical and real, and not cartoony.)
- Someone asked why the releases slowed down....
So I'll explain that.
I'm trying to basically keep up and go as much as I can. Sorry for the slow down. I am trying to do a minimum 2 chapters a week at least. (Hopefully 3?) But there's a lot of things I'm worried about. First, I have to go through and check for anything that could get me banned again. Although this site is friendly, other sites can be hostile to themes like harem and mature themes. I have to also worry if this site's management would ever change. And one of the issues was that Royal Road stabbed me in the back terribly for nothing, even though I'd been compliant with them and had changed to meet their policies.
I basically reached a conclusion that its not possible to always predict if a site may listen to some jealous pricks wanting to sabotage rivals. This is also how I pay for groceries also. So when they hurt me, it really screwed up my life.
So I'm basically trying to keep up with writing new stuff every day, being balanced with getting old stuff up, and at the same time doing a part time day job, balanced with this and trying to keep it all juggled with also constant research into new ideas and what to put into chapters. (I can lose a lot of time just looking for inspiration and material on what to put into the new stuff. I have to always be looking for ideas for fresh content. This is one of my big worries and time wasters.) And then sometimes I need breaks, since my health is impaired.
So I'm trying to keep up.
And sorry for the slow down.
I am not trying to jerk readers around.
One thing I've found that works for me is that regardless of how behind I am in the other things, I have to always be writing new stuff to make sure I don't run out.
PS; very curious what readers would think of a world where all women were basketball sized tits? (Oh did I already mention that? :p)
Will answer as brief as possible on all five....
#1 Sorry did not read the first one so I cant give input...
#2 A big fat NO..an a-sexual planet has been done many times in the past and NONE of them ever pulled it off to be enjoyable..the closest thing is males as slaves and weaker than female...also an all girl planet is just for gay Yuri...
#3 A star-ship RPG like Buck Rodgers+RoboTech/Macross+Star Wars would be cool....and a big fat NO on android theme..
#4 The flying fock are you 13 with this one! Dumb as sh*t of the year award...already had my lifetime supply of milk fetish with this story alone let alone a whole story on it...lets just say the shelf life of that milk will go out of date fast lol.
#5 two times a week is still good considering how long the chapters are!
I hope this will help your direction a bit....
1) that is mean. ok, i like to see the next necromancer book when i start reading.
2) not really interested, but you sure will end with futas or strap-ons if you stay serious - shmaybe?
3) nope
4) no - but hell no! (still undecided if i am in awe or full of terror about BLuU´s suggestion)
5) editing is living hell
1) Haven't read it
2)questions that need to be answered for me would be how do they propagate?/ like if they use s*x for propagating where do they get the men and watnot
3)im not into space rpgs/ give me some time to think about it
4)same answer as BLuU
5)very saddened by the slow releases, also unfortunately got other stuff to do
1) I haven't read it yet so i can't give you a good opinion.
2) As others have said it's been kinda overused and no one has pulled off a good one yet, I wouldn't test my luck in that area if I were you.
3) I personally would like to see something were the mc is either the captain of a ship (has to be a frigate at least) or the admiral of a fleet.
4) Honestly, if almost anyone else were to say that I wouldn't support them in that decision, but i feel like with you might be able to do something that comes out as fairly decent or better. But if I'm being totally honest i think your time is better spent elsewhere.
5) I didn't really mind the drop too much, I'll miss the release rate, but I've been reading super minions since close to when it first started and I'm not sure if that stories going to be done in the next ten years. Point is, don't worry about the release rate to much as long as you keep it reasonable and don't post one chapter every month you'll do just fine.
Lastly I know this sounds corny, but I would like to say that i believe a story to be at its best when the author is wrighting what he truly wants to wright instead of what he's being told to wright. That doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to your readers though, some people offer really constructive advise.
1 - Haven't read yet, so no comment
2 - haven't seen a women only world pulled off well on a webnovel, but Wen Spencer successfully did something similar with Brother's Price. It all depends on how you structure it. That being said, there's enough of the sex-starved amazon and death by snu-snu tropes that something different could be refreshing
3 - It worked for captain Kirk. Not really my genre, but if you're feeling it, then do it
4 - Can't see how this would be anything other than BE/Lactation fetish material. Sure, you could pull the alternative anatomy trick and give them another function, say, helium sacs on a high gravity world, or loci for egg sacs or embryonal development
5 - #sigh. Oh well. I understand where you're coming from. I'd tried using the wayback machine to read ahead, but there were large gaps. I guess I'll have to just be patient
But yeah, to echo a point that was made: write what you want to write. As someone with a long to do list of crap I don't want to write, don't find yourself in my shoes. Deadlines drag out and you don't do your best work
Author in which chapter does the plotline with cat and witch start? That were i stopped reading. I wanted stack up chapter. Before I knew it I stopped reading from Royalroad.
i thought about this since i saw this posted, and i have not read through the comments but i buy each book and i like each one and really hope for all of your books to become long running series (i re read the
SYDTBAN since this post and so i was thinking of magitex, but maybe a system in one of these)
1 yes
2 no opinion this
3 sounds good but can it also be a hybrid of magic and technology
4 the dream
1) never read it
2) the over populated women world has been done so much. You might as well do a TRAP world where the women are dominant an alpha just to change sh*t up. But I don't think anyone would like that either.
3) space RPG as in heavy tech... a system.. no swords... but lightsabers an gravity magic?
4) add a twist like the vagina has a nipple instead of a clit and the clits are on the tits.... and I think that might open that world up.
5) I too was disheartened a little.
BTW.... if we did the nipple clit reversal... that would mean milk came out of the urethra... and she climaxed from nipples
@BLuU OMG! this reads sooo wrong. not sure if i should prepare a pyre 4 u or applaud u as a genius.
@Nymus I'm just a simple man, wanting to expand fetishes to new levels
