Intentionally giving your characters toxic traits and emotional flaws (share your links)

[Leyelle]

Well, I don't know what genres are most popular, but if people are reading translated novels perhaps they will enjoy yours? Perhaps it would be unwise to try making a physical book, but you could maybe post it online?

For Eliza: it's a comedy, so I didn't give anyone a lot of bad habits/traits to address, but Eliza is definitely to impulsive, with a tendency to follow her whims without really thinking about how they will effect others, even her own husband.

Online is such a good idea, thank you!

I was considering some websites/app to publish Eigria: Lume in Indonesian before decided to publish in Tapas. My main reason is simply I see my genre a lot in here. For me who don't have any prior publishing experience and no one I know writes, I rely on internet testimonies and forums like this. Then again, you reminded how my friend said that although I do the translation myself and she's fluent enough to read both version, she keep saying original and translated has 'different vibes'.

In the future, there might be, if not will, two versions of my novels, I think

Ahh, I get how you feel, I don't know many other authors, so there aren't a lot of people for me to talk to about writing other than on this forum. We should be friends, we can give each other writing advice and share what we learn.

Jinho has a pretty bad attitude, just in general. he gets angry when people inconvenience, or cost he and Andrew time and money, which is understandable, but he doesn't exactly control his temper very professionally.

Is your story completely written or are you still writing it now?

[lignorice]

Mine is still ongoing. It barely touches chapter 1 🤣 (it's going to be released on Fri 5.00 am)

I'm sticking it with the schedule, twice a week.

[Leyelle]

Ahh, so you're still writing it chapter by chapter? Do you already have the ending planned?

[lignorice]

I do (in Indonesian )

The overall story is already established (for paragraphs need some adjustments as I made it more than 7 years ago). My main concern is translating and rephrasing it into English and cutting them into Tapas episodes, so yes, I am still writing chapter by chapter for the release in Tapas. The original consists of kinda long chapters, which I cut into roughly 3 episodes here. I still have no idea if future chapters will be divided into more or less than 3 episodes, though
