Synopsis
A guideline for authors who are new to the business, written by a fan and veteran webnovel reader. These tips are what I think shows the basic quality of a novel, apart from its story.
Recently, lots of originals have been popping up, and I have noticed that while they have great potential and exciting storylines and settings, the good aspects are buried in errors that could easily be corrected.
Authors, please give it a read. Of course, you will have your own thoughts and difficulties following these guidelines, but I feel that by following as many as you can, your novel will be more liked. Thank you!
Fellow readers as well as Authors, please feel free to mention other tips I can add to this guide to make it more detailed. I am happy to listen to your opinions on changes that can be made to my current guide.

I've written too many prologues that I forgot one crucial thing: My actual novel. I needed to finally check a decent writing guideline. To me the best advice is: To practice;To write.(you have an idea? write it down,always) In this guideline,(knowing that it was short) I was hoping for accurate&detailed informations at least since I'm new to web novels' writing structures (although they aren't that diffrent from the classical ones "rules") yet, I couldn't find any decent advice when it came to worldbuilding (again I shall stress on the word "accurate", since the author simply stated general rules), chapters' length (as in "word count")--well the web novel structure itself is changeable/not consitent compared to its classical counterpart (Or so I noticed)--but still, there are few unchangeable principales that I may have skipped and wanted to know so I was kind of disappointed to find the stuff I already knew. However, This simple eye-opening guide,in my opinion, was meant for "absolute" beginners. I may have expected a lot from the title itself but that didn't mean that it deserved less than 5 stars (since this is my own/personal opinion) Why? Because everything that was written here,IS IMPORTANT! YES!, and its easy-to read! what do you want more?! A reader can become an author if they simply "start" (so stop looking for excuses and WRITE!) but also, a reader's opinion is one of the key pillars in improving one's writing. So Author-kun thank you for taking your time to write such a good guideline, I'm glad that at least someone wrote a decent one <3 <3 I need a sequel! hahah **: I pour my feelings in my words so I apologize if I was too subjective! <3 <3
I already knew most of the thinks, but these few points will help me a lot. Thanks. ........ ..............
This is a great help to anyone who wanted to write a novel. But sadly, ot only has 8.8k views. Well anyway, I hope some writers will discover this good guidelines and start writing their own novel. *Thumbs up*
I'm lazy to write a review but man, that's great what's written here. I think it merits much more view and this is sad that it has only 5000 views.
Hey guys! I don't know how I was shameless enough to give myself five stars but readers, please use the reviews section to help me add points to this guide. Authors, take a look at the guide, and please feel free to tell me your thoughts too. Hopefully, this guide will help improve the quality of some of the struggling original novels.
