The world has been split in two.

As the sole survivor of his clan's massacre at the hands of the Elven Empire, Erink has the potential to surpass them all... if only he can survive.

Bound to a parasitic ring that grants him unnatural abilities, he is forced to pay a ruthless "Biological Tax" simply to live one more day.

But the true threat is that the Essence—the power he must unravel and harness to reach his goal—demands sacrifices, and is more than willing to devour him for it...

What to expect:

• A narrative that rewards the patient reader (Slow-burn) and respects their intellect.
• Unique Magic System (with LitRPG elements).
• Dark Fantasy (Grimdark) & deep worldbuilding.
• Realistic Weak-to-Strong Progression.
• One male and two female protagonists, all featuring a strong character development.
• Zero Wish-Fulfillment: No self-insert protagonists, no plot armor, and absolutely NO harem.
• Subtle Romance.

>(My novel is available on Royal Road! There are 22 chapters available, and three chapters are published consistently each week!)

Some pages and panels I liked from a recent 17 page submission for a Japanese manga publisher contest (Panels read right to left). Missed the deadline by an hour due to technical issues. It is what is it. Onto the next

Hey folks,

Big news. We've worked hard the past couple of months to deliver one of the biggest features we've been planning for a long time.

We now support publishing stories chapter by chapter!

This is the beginning of a new phase. Works published on Quibble have remained static as updating them required a lot of manual work, and we were relying almost exclusively on EPUBs.

With this release, authors can now publish new chapters for their stories and edit previously published ones. Yay!

This works for all types of content, be it regular novels, or web series.

What it means for published authors

Authors can now access their published work within their dashboard and rework past chapters, or release new ones. Much like submissions, this goes through a review process with our editorial team, but review time should be typically pretty fast compared to brand new submissions.

You can find a tutorial video that will help you navigate this feature at the end of this post

What we'll release soon

This is a large feature that took quite some fine-tuning to implement. It's in early version, and not everything is yet supported.

Here's what we're going to release within a few days to a couple of weeks:

👉 A reworked submission process

Our current submission process still relies on EPUBs. It's also too complex. We're going to release a new version at the beginning of next week.

This new version will let authors choose how they want to provide the content:

• as an EPUB
• or as individual chapters (by uploading files, or copy/pasting the content)

All in all, this should make it very easy to cross-post from or bring from work from other platforms.

👉 Edit the cover art and the metadata

Currently, authors can only rework their chapters. We're going to give more flexibility so more can be updated! The cover art, the metadata, the synopsis, the genres, and more.

👉 Email notifications

We'll let you know by email when your chapter is ready to be published, or if there's a revision needed. For now, it's still all happens within the web app. This will land in the coming days!

👉 Scheduling releases

You'll be able to either automatically publish once the review is accepted, or schedule a release at your convenience (with a provision of a few days to ensure our editors have time to review your work)

👉 Better discoverability

Newly updated work will appear more prominently on the home page. We know there's a lot of discussion around the "algorithmic" of other platforms. Remaining fair is not a trivial task, so we'll take the necessary time to do it well. This feature will deserve it's own post when it'll be ready to be released :)

👉 Some more ^^

We're listening to your feedback. If there's something we should add, fix, remove, rework, we'll also of course consider this as well. It's a new feature, after all!

--

That's it, we're so so so excited about this, this alone will literally transform Quibble into a much more dynamic space.

Authors can fully choose how they want to release their work, by chapter, by arc, or however they want. They can also improve their stories over time and as they see fit.

You can check how it works in this little video we prepared for you.

I’m looking for honest cover feedback for a grimdark/dark fantasy novel.

The book is about a feared warrior who once showed mercy, only for the boy he spared to grow into something far worse.

Does this cover clearly signal grimdark fantasy?
Would it make you stop scrolling?
What would you change before using it in ads?

Not looking to promote — just trying to improve the cover/marketing. Thank you

Hey everyone, I'm doing another free giveaway for my books on Amazon, feel free to check them out and as always would really appreciate a review on Amazon and Goodreads!

The Final Ruin is coming. The war to end all wars.

Eos is a realm on the brink of collapse. The nine kingdoms have long been shaped by uneasy alliances, blood-soaked conflicts, and ruthlessly ambitious courtiers, but the return of the bleeding star triggers chaos as the fabric of reality tears apart.

Katryna Bower, the vagabond princess of Camridia, is dragged back into the world of political intrigue she abandoned long ago after assassinations and conspiracy threaten to destroy her house. But Katryna cannot bring peace to her homeland without confronting her nightmares... and herself.

The noble houses of Blacktree and Seynard spiral into a savage conflict brought about by old rivalries and dynastic conspiracies. Personal demons consume King Emery and his troubled heir, Petir, as the merciless Seynards plot to destroy House Blacktree for good.

Tomas, a butcher's boy turned conscript, is swept into a harrowing journey of loss and discovery alongside the academic Lynn Jhono. Together, they fight to find the truth behind the approaching cataclysm as other-worldly horrors break loose across the world.

The Fables of Chaos is a grimdark series blending epic warfare, political intrigue, low medieval fantasy, and cosmic horror. Perfect for fans of Abercrombie and Martin, the series is defined by its exploration of trauma, morally fractured characters, and a world where survival often demands succumbing to the monsters within.

*Edit- holy shit, I wrote this blurb early this morning while still crazy drowsy from my meds, and there are so many mistakes. Fixed them now XD
