WHY?

Lnoltaeb o

 

Hello.

Most of you here know me because I've been writing blogs for a while.

And yet, I don't have as many followers, comments and likes on my blogs and blog chapters.

 

Why is that? There are several plausible reasons, some perhaps more possible than others.

 

-I'm French. And I suck at English, so I use a translator (Deepl, Reverso). So my texts may be difficult for others to read.

 

"There's not much sex in your blogs? Why don't you put more?"

-I know, LL is a site that used to be about adult, pornographic content (sex mods of all kinds, stories etc).

I try to put some from time to time. I know that people come to see blogs for that reason alone for the most part.

It's not that I don't want to put in too much, it's just that I want to find the right context, the right moment, the right situation, the right characters.

For example, I'm not going to put Ayrana, my altmer princess, who's going to fuck a bandit, then a forsworn, then a wizard, then an orc, then an animal.

At that rate, the story wouldn't make any sense.

You might as well just put in images of sex, with nothing in them.

Also, I don't want my blogs to end up like others that no longer make any sense and look like nothing. I'm not interested!

But I'll try to put up as much as I can.

The new blog on Atanéa has a bit more and I'll try to put up a bit more often.

 

-Enbs/mods and hardware

 

Some of them, and I'd say most of them, use enbs and mods that make the characters look very pretty in pictures.

I use one too, but less powerful, Rudy Enb.

Most of them also have big machines, a gamer's computer.

Mine is a laptop. Although it's already a beautiful beast, I can't do what others do, play with 4k with greedy enbs and big mods for high resolutions.

 

 

So yes, I could put as much sex as I want in my blogs.

But I doubt it would change much, maybe 3 or 4 more followers but nothing more.

After that, I also write and post because I like sharing my stories. I do it because I enjoy it, not because I want to have 400 followers on a blog with lots of comments and likes.

I get comments, so much the better. I don't, too bad, it's not a big deal and I'll move on.

 

Then yes, I was talking about it with others to whom I often speak LL, where I said that Atanéa's new blog, Ayrana's blog would be my last two blogs, not forgetting the last part of Luxia's blog that I'm planning later.

So yes and no, of course, it's not just because I don't have any more comments and followers that I'm going to stop, it's mainly because afterwards I want to be able to stop and devote myself to my characters.

 

To conclude, yes, I'll put in sex, I'll try to do what I can while remaining coherent and not doing anything crazy!

 

Thanks for reading.

Being French shouldn't matter. There are plenty of native English speakers who can't string a coherant sentence together. Learn from the output of the translation software and you'll soon be speaking like and Americn. 

 

I have been reading some of your blogs, they're fine. Find your own style try not to become the same as everybody else. You can always put something in thats out of character just to take people by surprise.  An orgy, a gangbang ......

 

I don't comment very often. When I do I try to keep it neutral and boring. Don't realy want people to know what a realy exciting guy I am. 🙂

For me, it's writing captivating, fascinating stories with adventure, suspense, etc., that keep you on the edge of your seat and captivate you.

And, as I tried to explain in the article, I can have sex, but I don't think that's going to make much difference.

Most of the people here have been here for a long time, they're regulars, they've got their habits, their favorite blogs that they follow and won't go to others very often.

 

I know some bogs where there's nothing but sex all the time in the stories, and as a result the blog doesn't look like anything anymore. I won't say a name, but if you look, you'll see.

Anyway, there will be sex, but as I said, the content has to be right for it.

As a French blogger since 2023 here, let me share my LL experience with you (we could discuss it more deeply in French in private if you want to): 

 

I posted all my Fallout 4 character story in 2023 first on DeviantArt then a couple months later on LL. I didn't expect people to read it since I kinda saw what people likes/dislikes here. So I didn't care and went along until I ran out of ideas to work with.
Then in 2024, I went with Cyberpunk 2077 and the results were the same, even if I put more sex in it, not so much comments or likes but I get it, both of those games aren't the main course on LL. 

And finally, this year, 2025, I started my character's journey in the Skyrim universe. It's slowly advancing and I'm still loving to take screenshots. So far so good! 

Back to the subject now, why? I think overall, LL isn't suited (anymore) to host such stories. It's easier to meet LL's people's expectation: voluminous body shapes, nudity or sex, repeat. The thing is, sex scenes aren't a story. 
 

Anyway, I think you could have run your blogs better. Instead of doing several of them, you could have kept one and managed it with categories, that way you would have kept the views and comments!

From someone who doesn't mind reading, one issue is that your dialogues and the scene don't contrast that well, which doesn't really encourage the general audience who stumbled on your blog to read the dialogues all that much. For example, in a scene where two people are talking, you show the entire scene with both of them are present, or in separate pictures with each taking up the entire screen.

 

I'd suggest using a comic format which zooms in to the talking characters. This allows you to show more details about the outfit, or the character, without the environment distracting you from the dialogue. There's also the font, which looks stylish, but you want something that's really clear as well. A classic font is Digital Strip, which is the classic comic font. 

 

Second issue is that only the MC seems to have good clothes. Not saying the vanilla look is bad, but it's not flattering for other characters, which you need if you want to emphasize their importance to the plot. Another thing is that the men don't look good at all. It's okay with bandits, or some casual characters, but the recurring characters should be good looking.

 

The rest are small issues, for example, when Atanea sits on the throne, its a very ugly posture. I'd suggest you also look at small things like this. 

As for graphics and the rest, I'd suggest using reshade, as while lighter reshades don't cause too much fps drop, they help in enhancing the shadows which makes the environment and characters look more dynamic. If ENB is too demanding, you can also look at community shaders. Their performance is relatively better than ENB.

 

Finally, as others have said, you make good stories. I don't have any experience with blogs, so I can't advise you on how to improve, just tell you to talk with other bloggers too.

Your stories are fine as is, yes the translation thing does make it problematic at times, most of those translators are not good for RolePlay style texts. You could perhaps try a different one or even see if a good LLM works better for your particular texts.

Anyway I like your stories as they are, even if I'm not always following them in a timely manner the past couple months. It would be boring if anyone had the same style.

As for looks, as mentioned before community shaders might work, though I would likely concentrate on some good replacers for NPC's and clothing/armor first, if you stick to 2k textures, that should not tax your system to much and would go a long way. Your girls tend to be pretty, but the males tend to look a little Skyrim'esque. ;) 
(Though I think even that got a little better ... or I'm just slowly getting used to it.)

I could try Reshade.

I use Men of Winter in general for men.

I'll try to improve for the next time.

> No offense, but as for me, I have no problem with your English because I don't read texts. Not only yours, but anyone's. I watch the pictures and expect to see sex in them. That's all.

When I found this forum four years ago, I was already using an online translator integrated into my internet browser – otherwise, I wouldn't be able to read any posts on such sites because of my native German.

-

Such integrated translation tools should be standard by now – so why go to the trouble of translating a story text from your native language into English?

Translation programs aren't perfect – and if you don't have a very good command of the target language yourself -> well, then you can't proofread and finalize the text!

-

That may work well for native English speakers, and even those who speak English have good foreign language skills... but if you rely on a translation tool to understand English -> the translation of the translation... I think you'll understand what we call "Roman Post" in German.

-

I've observed this time and again myself in misunderstandings in forum discussions... which is why I ultimately decided to publish my own stories in "German" - I'll put an additional machine translation into "English" in a spoiler.

-

So if you were to publish your story here in your native French... thanks to my (free) browser translation tool, it would be displayed in German on my screen.

-

In today's world - which is now heavily influenced by the capabilities of "artificial intelligence," including linguistic translation - the language in which a story is written -> should no longer be an obstacle for a readership!

For an author, however, it is essential to write in their native language - only then can they fully realize their potential.

-

But writing this in a porn forum... is essentially "casting pearls before swine."

Some will understand it based on their intellect... for the majority of forum users, "ordinary" stories completely miss the mark for many reasons:

- They grew up with text-bubble comics anyway

- Their short attention span isn't long enough for a block of text with more than 100 letters... the children of the texting generation are already adults by now

- Even if the story could serve as a solution to a quest series in their game, any "baggage" (i.e., the actual plot) is unwelcome

- Feedback to the author is generally not given - they don't even thank people in the forum for help with requested problems

 

So you can adapt and produce the porn comics you supposedly want... and still get no feedback.

Or you can ultimately write the stories primarily for yourself!

:cool:

Bonjour encore. Oui, je suis Anglais, ne pas Americain. (Here endeth my schoolboy French.) 

 

I appreciate and understand your desire to express your creative thoughts. Over the years I have written a few short stories and started countless others. For me, too, the pleasure is in the creation. I don't really care what other people think. 

 

Leave your text in French, most people only look at the pictures anyway. There must be French speakers and people learning French who would appreciate something in the language here on LL.

Since I started blogging in English, I'm going to continue in English.

Changing and putting the texts in French would be weird.

I'll just improve the image format and not zoom in on a single character when he's talking.

I've just installed Reshade to go with rudy enb, it's not too bad with the presets.

I'll have to figure out which preset works best for screening and playing.

Hallo nochmal. Ja, ich bin Engländerin, keine Amerikanerin. (Hier endet mein Schulfranzösisch.) 

 

Ich schätze und verstehe Ihren Wunsch, Ihre kreativen Gedanken auszudrücken. Im Laufe der Jahre habe ich einige Kurzgeschichten geschrieben und unzählige weitere begonnen. Auch für mich liegt die Freude am Schaffen. Was andere denken, ist mir ziemlich egal. 

 

Belassen Sie Ihren Text auf Französisch, die meisten Leute schauen sich sowieso nur die Bilder an. Es gibt bestimmt auch Französischsprachige und Leute, die Französisch lernen und die etwas in der Sprache hier auf LL zu schätzen wissen. 

 

As I already wrote, I use an online translator integrated into my browser, which can translate more than 200 different languages into the "desired" language I set... I practically can't see any websites in their original language anymore.

:innocent:

 

I'm an engineer by profession.

One of the things that sets our profession apart is that we're pragmatists.

None of us today (in the age of computers and programming) would still do the calculations for the statics and dynamics of an iron or highway bridge by "written hand calculations" or with a slide rule... so why should I use various foreign languages?

If other people enjoy it, fine for them... but if it leads them to see themselves as "better/smarter" people, that's going too far for me!
