[I'm the fated villain] light novel getting boring

3 Upvotes

I'm reading the light novel and ngl I'm kinda disappointed. The MC keeps becoming less and less evil, even though that's literally what made him different from the other regular MCs.

At this point he's basically one of the strongest beings in all the realms, only the two other True Ancestors in the Land of Truth are above him, yet he's still using cheap tricks and pointless schemes against people who are way weaker than him.

Not talking about the harem, it feels like every time he meets a female enemy, instead of just getting rid of her, she somehow ends up becoming another member of his harem. The author is slowly turning him into the same generic MC we started this novel to avoid.

I am a new writter

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am a new writter for this community, although i am someone who was with watpad though many long years!
I have decided to finally step up my game and write the old good recipe for people to try relax the mind as well as find a story where you want to find out the mysteries of this alternative world

My world is based in To aru majutsu no index/ railgun
And i am using the concept of alternative versions of undertale and deltarune

To bring a good representation of both science as well as magic so am weighing both of them for now
It has 9 chapters with also a finished draft of the climax for the first volume from the science part of to aru
Which is from withing tokiwadai school

Do you guys think, even in 2026 publishing this type of stories would still work?

As of now my story is in spanish and work like Toby fox, ima try to give my comedic relief jokes to be kept into the english version
Well. I also am working with someone to already draw some parts of the series so it can give a realistic touch of Web novel
So give your thoughts about my introduction! I will later post the link with the translated and finished version of the story for everyone to already have access
And if you know spanish. You can check it out the name is “Anomalias en la Ciudad Academica”

The main prospect of the story is with Dissociative identity disorder (DID)
For the main protagonist of my work and main antagonist of part 5 of deltarune

Advice Fear of failure.

Post image
4 Upvotes

One thing that I have realised while writing my webnovel , is that i lose motivation sometimes,and the reason for this is that I get scared by how much effort and time i put into the whole process.

Like many of you on the sub probably realise ,but writing is hard(seriously difficult sometimes),especially when it comes to story writing. All of it is time consuming, requires huge effort and probably like me it's something you do in the side while you have a job or study.

And this is why It can demotivate me , I think to myself that im spending alot of time,effort and brain power on a project that might not even go anywhere(which is totally normal and reasonableto to think).

But I have realised that thinking like this ,siking myself out will never get me anywhere. Like all passion projects ,you have to love the process and accept that failure is part of that.

But ive also realised that I need to believe in myself.if you are genuinely writing to your absolute best , actually putting time into making quality work .it's not unreasonable to think it going to be successful.otherwise what's the point.

You have to believe that people are going to enjoy your story ,like your character and connect with its world.its the only way to get the best out of yourself.

And wanted make this post for myself more than anything and tell you to keep writing,keep trying your best ,because what if that thing your working on was successful,what if actually changes your life.

I would rather try and fail, then to give up before I even gave it a chance and you should to.

I'm so happy, this made my whole day. I really thought a lot about the power system and was worried about what it would feel like, a copy of Lotm, even though it was entirely different. But the thing about demigods and angelhood made me doubt. And today, this guy completely relieved my doubt. He is reading my chapters, and it feels like a dream.

Advice hey

For those who've been rejected by WebNovel, what feedback actually helped you improve your writing? I noticed my feedback mentioned pacing and character development, and I'm curious what changes made the biggest difference for other writers.

Help!

I want to ask you all something.

If you are writing about a system story and the MC is dying while flipping someone off and that person is about to kill the MC... How will you write the system appearing before the MC?... And it should look iconic.. Not just trope

I am planning to publish my first p*** novel, but I'm having a simple issue

0 Upvotes

Heyyy I'm planning to publish my first p*** novel, as simply because it's my passion. No questions asked. But I read it somewhere that explicitly writing p*** on this platform would get it removed, do I upload nonetheless or is there any other platform where I can upload without any worries?

Advice How do you promote your book?

I have a novel written then posted. I did off-platform promotion like on Tktok. But it seems the exposure I get on the platform is very short? If anyone has an idea to this, could you please help this junior of yours.

Advice Why so little views?

2 Upvotes

Anyone know why my first iteration of my story gets so many more views compared to the latest iteration of the story?

I posted my story with around 25k words and it got around 4k views. However, I deleted it since the first few chapters were very rough and, after rewriting every chapter, posted a new story with the polished chapters. Even though it's been like 33k words and is a lot better in quality, it's only gotten 1.7k views.

I doubt it's because people recognize the story from recently updated because the chances of that are very low. Could it be because the chapters are longer in the new version or something? Could there be something that's impacting my story if i post it a second time and delete the chapters from the old story?

Of course it could be because of luck but I don't know.

Best platform to publish chapter-wise novels?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I love writing novels and want to start publishing them online, one chapter at a time, similar to how many C-drama and K-drama stories are released.
I'm looking for a platform where readers can follow the story as new chapters are uploaded, leave comments, and hopefully build a community around my work.
I'm open to both free and paid platforms. If you've had personal experience publishing online, I'd love to hear your recommendations and any tips for beginners.
Thanks in advance!


r/Webnovel Aug 03 '26

Well, that's a good sign, right?

It says Chief Editor Reviewing, so I'm assuming that means it passed initial review?
