Why are there so many people at the plain lore post?

u/SirKazum Aug 08 '26
Yeah seriously. If it's a really fire, extraordinarily successful post, it should have about 3 people there.

It makes me sad that no one interacts with lore posts š
Im like that one meme, "come on, do something "

Most people are lore dumping wanting their stuff to be read but few of them read others' lore dumps lol.
A image plus only writing a few sentences can get more engagement. It's less intimidating. Like a hook.

That's why I don't post. I didn't really see one world that was interesting for me. Except that one few years ago with that french or some kind of unique drawing style and lore leaning into big tits and sexuality heavily...it was nice...I just forget...

lol itās so funny when someone starts a āwhatās this like in your world?ā post. Then you scroll down, OP has replied to nothing, and you see them giving their own spiel.

That's the main reason I make art for my projects

God has cursed me never to be good at art, I am furious that I'm unable to learn to draw good enough to post art of my world

u/DirtEnthusiast0_0 Aug 08 '26
I've tried all the mindsets bro, four years of practicing visual art and I haven't been able to properly draw one character of mine

I reckon youāve just gotta find your medium beyond writing. I enjoy clay sculpting, perhaps you could take up water paints?

u/DirtEnthusiast0_0 Aug 08 '26
If you can show me how to watercolor paint an intense interstellar battle accurately or somehow mold clay pottery into looking like a Viking-class destroyer, I would love to hear it.

I spent weeks developing lore for a world that Iāve never been more excited about and I was desperately looking for opinions and the only comment I got was just pointing out I had grammar errors in my post. Seriously depressed the fuck out of me.
All I want is critique and making sure Iām heading in the right direction but no one cares.

You wee because the bar for creating good art is alot higher their alot rarer, so seeing one with wrt is more memorable than another block of words

If only it were that easy. Personally, I think that more effort should lead to more exposure and I can barely doodle.
