To edit an existing chapter on PC you just open up inkstone where you would normally start a new chapter. Click on Published. Find and select the chapter. Make your changes and click update. If you're using app then I have no idea.
Writing Prompts Contests #26 & #27
SnoozySloth
I understand :)
I'll try and put a fresh spin on the concept.
Thanks for the review.
I only describe people when they become relevant to the plot. Spending several paragraphs describing someone that will disappear for several dozen chapters is a waste of time IMO.
And I prefer using few words and letting readers filling in the blank with their imagination.
"He (the bartender) looks to be 50 years old, stout and strong. His arm muscles are bulging under the thin brown tunic. The thick mustache wiggles as he speaks."
"The man is in his mid-thirties, ruggedly handsome and confident. He extends his hands and gives a warm smile."
The MC's description is given when he created the character tho. His avatar looks exactly like him, until he changes it.
Second chapter of my first webnovel The Mage of the Millennium is now out. Thank you everyone that gave it a chance and I implore you to continue reading.
Please feel free to leave any comments and tips on anything I need to improve or am doing well. Thank you!
SnoozySloth I think it's pretty unfair to other writers if I win it, get featured...
But don't plan to commit to the novel... :crying_cat_face:
Probably the most I would do is 3 chapters a week of it...

I've decided not to leave a review for your novel. I didn't get far enough in the story or world to provide an accurate judgement. However, your grammar needs a lot of work. I would have likely given it a 2.5/5 at best. I could get the gist of what was going on, but a lot of the details were not understandable by me. I spent about 40 minutes rewriting/fixing 1/4th of your first chapter. I commented the fixed version on your first chapter so that you can use it as a reference for improvement in the future.
ImBloo
It depends. Several dozen chapters means the character definitely needs a name or nickname and some descriptors. One-chapter characters can be vaguely described and thrown away.
So the MC is described further in the story? =p. Fair enough, but I think it's better to describe MC as soon as possible. I might imagine a blond fatty American until you tell me he's a black haired Asian! Okay, probably not since you used an Asian name. Lol.
Ierrech
Hmm, I disagree. As long as you continue the story then I think it's fair. I've seen quite a few top authors that only do 3, 4, or 5 chapters a week instead of the standard 7 or more. Besides, the truly good novels will rise eventually or get featured on Trending Originals in the future. Now, if you plan on completely dropping the novel, then yeah, that would suck for your competitors and readers. I'm kind of surprised you won't be sticking with it though when your new novel is beating your old novel already even with your old novel featured. I can understand wanting to finish your older book first though.
On that note. It seems like you might lose anyways. Looks like Death Incarnate is rapidly catching up. https://www.webnovel.com/book/12016679805766705/Death-Incarnate
SnoozySloth
you misread my words (or am I being unclear?)
Say a character shows up for 2 chap and disappears for a few dozen chaps. When we see him again, readers will already have forgotten what he looks like anyway. So I only describe him in detail when he shows up again.
ImBloo
Ah, my bad. Sorry, I'm a bit tired/exhausted lol. I've been slacking on sleep to learn JavaScript and PHP for college. I hate web programming >.>
SinisterSmile
I presented a rewritten version where I corrected the English grammar mistakes. I did not repost your existing version. Note: Your novel was already in English when I read it and I did not use a translator. Your original novel had a lot of run-on sentences and read a bit like someone speaking broken English. I assumed you originally wrote it in English as your 2nd language? Or did you write it in Portuguese? If the latter then that explains our confusion. I've never heard of this website auto-translating novels from Portuguese to English though?

Also next part will be out in 25 minutes. No point dragging out the side quest. Stay tuned!!!
How much cliché.
Please read my story entry for #27 and give me reviews.

Blackvision
Hmm are you talking about my novel?
I'd say in the first 3 chapters or so, the cliche concentration is about 0.12 mc per word, a bit higher than average.
In later chapters, though, it will drop to a level of a bout 0.02 - 0.03 mc per word, way, way lower than average.
All in all, I'd say my novel has an acceptable level of cliche concentration and is safe for human consumption.
See for yourself here
SnoozySloth Hey I noticed your amazing review of the other webnovels in the contest and was wondering if you could review mine as well. I'm a rookie writer with this being my first time writing a novel of this sort and would appreciate any tips and advice I can get!

Hi! Here's my entry for the prompt Legendary Mage!
Any comments and reviews are much appreciated!
Title: Spirit Mages
Link: https://dynamic.webnovel.com/book/12031468906790005
Genres: female protagonist, slow romance, action, romantic subplot, hiding true abilities
Synopsis: Magic wasn't limited to just wielding the elements and training yourself to be the best mage. Here in this world, a person may be born with a Spirit, which are literal spirits that latches itself onto your soul, be it an animal or a plant, and inherently becomes one with you.
But you need immense luck to catch the fancy of a Spirit. Not everyone has the chance to be a Spirit Mage.
Now, knowing that, she wasn't sure if she had immense good luck, or immense bad luck.
Assassins had ambushed her family in the late hours of the day.
Together with her brother, they somehow escaped death and had ended up thousands of miles away from their home.
Thinking that they finally escaped such misfortune, they bathed in relief. Only to realise where they had ended up.
Not only did they fall right before a high school, they ended up right before a renowned high school that trained Spirit Mages: St. Snowdrop High School. And they had fallen in the middle of school assembly! Right on the stage!
Hello guys! This is my entry for Writing prompt 27. Hope you will enjoy. The biggest plot twist it about to happen

@SnoozySloth @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I would like to report the novel Death Incarnate and user TheOldFogey for author voting with 36 accounts to abuse the competition.
I monitor my ranking in the competition - here's the stats yesterday.
#1 Desolate Mage (mine) ~250 stones slowly increasing through the day
#2 Death Incarnate (TheOldFogey) - 149 stones until suddenly in 30 minutes it jumps to 233 stones instantly with 37 users voting all in the same window of time
36 accounts created around the same months, with their past 5-6 months only activity ever being on TheOldFogey's 2 novels for the past 6 months!

SinisterSmile winning is meaningless if you don't have quality, but if you are quite confident with your current quality, you can promote like on FB or ask all your friends to help! I asked my family and friends to vote hehe...
SinisterSmile Hey shameless self promotion here, I would love it if you checked out my novel, it's just started but I think you might like it.
SinisterSmile yeah... I had to write 17 chapters in 4 days to get 20k words to be on featured! Phew.
But once you have written enough words and are confident in your writing quality, you can head over to the Inkstone Discord channel and ask the curator of Featured to consider your novel to be promoted/ featured
Legend of the Gunslinger Mage.

no they don't. But it's weekend and the deadline is almost up.
I suggest u check the TGIF thread for next week's prompt, and prepare for that one if you're interested.

Nothing I can do about that. I'm just an author. It'd be up to Webnovel to determine if it's legit or not. I've heard that they've disqualified cheaters in the past, so if he really is cheating then I'd assume they'd do the same now. That's not up to me to decide nor determine though.
Here's my entry for the Legendary Mage prompt
