I was kind of trying to become an author, in my case a writer, and I spent a lot of time perfecting my style and polishing my chapters, and studying the novels I read to write well and interestingly. But a month ago I finally gave up when, after studying the material and asking other people, I realized that I had no chance.

And if there is a chance, then for a year or several to become the author of AI, and I did not want to stoop to such a level, for me it is the greatest shame and insult. Alas, soon there will be much more real art in the comments than in these generated empty shells.

Yeah, I’m damn offended, and yeah, I think I’ve made a post like this before, but now I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk, and now I’m damn hurt, and I keep writing, and I don’t even know why, but I feel like I have to.

Yes, unfortunately, in addition, I am not a native English speaker, so this post may read strangely or stupidly, alas, but I apologize.

      Oh, it’s the harsh truth, there’s nothing to say about it. There used to be a tiny chance, on a miracle level, and now there’s not even that.

      Either you work for free, like a [BAD WORD], or you’ll be thrown out in the trash like a mongrel.

          Well, there’s nothing particularly surprising about that, I’ve already learned the hard way what a hell it is, if anything, I write light novels because I’ve received information that regular books or just novels are a very bad idea and few people can make money from them, and with light novels the chances are higher, but they’re still shitty, and because of AI people have become suspicious now, so you have to be damn unique and talented to get noticed by even a few people.

          In short, it looks like I’ll have to find my niche instead of chasing money and popularity.

              Yes, I think everyone who wants to do art in our time simply has to know how business works, otherwise, alas, most likely nothing will come of it.

              And you are also right about creating a niche, I forgot that proverb, if you want to shine among the bright stars, to be noticed, you will have to at least change your color to a unique.

              And let’s give a bonus excerpt: an experienced mercenary was walking through an overgrown forest, he had not been able to find an exit to any path for several days, although he was warned not to go deep into the forest on Monday, but he didn’t care because he heard that the same dryad milker had finally woken up and he, as a brave warrior, could not miss such a rare opportunity…
