SFFriday Weekly Issue 3

Every author wants their novels to have their own illustrations. And illustrators also want to receive artwork. Therefore, I suggest adding an illustrator section, allowing illustrators to showcase their work. Beautiful illustrations can also effectively promote the novel. Light novel authors can also filter illustrators. After all, in Japan, there's the joke about getting toilet paper free with the purchase of illustrations, which illustrates how much a good illustration can enhance the reader experience of a novel. A well-functioning illustration community can rival Paradox Interactive's. At the same time, granting illustrators author privileges would allow appreciative readers to tip and send monthly passes. However, I suggest that illustrators, who work hard, should receive a 100% return on their work...

With the rapid development of the internet age and the rise of social systems, negative aspects inevitably emerge. While the comment section of SF (Site of First Language) is meant to be a place for readers to freely express themselves, many comments have degenerated into a barrage of profanity, hurtful language, and even personal attacks. I personally believe this kind of language is extremely harmful, not only causing harm to others and authors, but more importantly, polluting the comment section. People are now overly indulgent, speaking without considering the consequences, the feelings of others, or even the validity of others' viewpoints...

A website's growth depends on new authors creating new books. Thousands upon thousands of readers flock to the site, each with their own tastes. They can't possibly read only bestsellers. It's the readers who support authors' passion for creation. Therefore, I hope to have a daily new book list, automatically recommended by the system. New books with over 50,000 words, continuously updated for more than ten days, and consistently updated will be eligible for the list. They'll be on the list for one day. This way, readers can find the new books they want to follow, and new authors will also have readers supporting them. It's a win-win situation.

I hope you can add a one-click option to separate novel chapters that require Fire Scrolls from those that don't. It feels wasteful to accidentally click the wrong button. Right now, you have to click each chapter individually. It's fine for novels divided into smaller volumes, but some volumes have hundreds of chapters, which is tiring and eventually becomes unbearable. I really love SF Light Novels. Thank you for your hard work and for listening to our suggestions.

Since visual novels exist, could websites consider a low-budget version of audio novels? I don't think pure text can truly immerse the reader. If possible, you could try selecting a book as an experiment. Before reading, readers could choose between two versions: one for normal reading, and the other where background music is suddenly added to each scene. This might be labor-intensive, but as reader demand increases, I think this model would be more cost-effective and convenient than fully voiced or purely audio novels. Alternatively, in the future, you could have the author choose the background music or readers vote on it...

Why does it seem like I can't collect monthly votes anymore in the app? Please fix this. Also... When will the app add a voting feature? It's on the website but not in the app... Is there not enough space? Maybe try adding another section... But that feels a bit strange. That's about all I wanted to say; the rest is satisfactory. One more thing... The app's manuscript storage system is terrible, and you can't see the author's backend. I have to go to the website every time, which is a bit of a hassle.
