Innovation Thanks for the feedback. I definitely could’ve shortened the game explanation. That’s why I consigned myself in the end to just recommend stories and delete the thread when I’m tired of recommending on my own.
As for having a privilege to judge others novels, I don’t believe judging is a privilege; it’s just what everyone does. People might write nonsensical things, but that obviously doesn’t mean they’re right (or anyone else wrong for that matter). We are essentially putting up our writing for others to see, so it doesn’t matter whether that is an author or reader.
Also, it’s not just authors recommending. It’s anyone can recommend something, even if it’s not their writing. The forcing to read is on purpose since I stated that simply posting as a self promo does very little. I feel like there aren’t enough actual recommendations of stories by readers themselves.
