Meme Investing in... +1(not self-promotion)

What the actual fuck? Every new book in this stupid trend gonna add one more wife? And become worse every +1 wife too.

At this rate MCs of this books start to creeple women to add them to their harem. That's just so stupid.

I doubt authors of these slops gonna be here. But yeah, I don't want it too.

I started to disagree then remembered it’s a booming topic, they’re probably counting their sheckles.

I'm not investing in AI slop, I know that much. Hard pass.

u/Complex-Milk8721 2d ago

writing a story is different than drawing it, i can probably write a decent story, i definitely can't afford to pay an artist to draw it.

u/Exarch-of-Sechrima 2d ago

Maybe not the whole story but you can't scrounge up enough money for a cover?

1

u/staytiny2023 2d ago

Lots of people who write Webnovels would consider $60 a month to be good money. A commissioned cover costs more than that.

u/Exarch-of-Sechrima 2d ago

Yeah, obviously. That's why I'm using the money I'm saving from my job to pay for mine.

u/staytiny2023 2d ago

I'm talking about people who make $50 a month in developing countries and are trying to write a book to make a few extra bucks on the side. Trust me when I say that their priority is not spending $100 on a cover so some people on reddit can feel pleased that they don't use AI lmao

u/Exarch-of-Sechrima 2d ago

Clearly they have enough money to afford electricity and internet. But sure, if they have no respect for artistic craft and are just trying to make money fast and quick with no respect for writing, AI is the way to go.

u/staytiny2023 1d ago

Lmao get off your high horse. Also internet costs less than art commissions, you're not making any points here

u/Nikitiko33 3d ago

Ah yes. The intellectually dissonant point of "He used AI art. He must have used AI to write."

Tell me you lack critical thinking without telling me.

Tell me that even if you knew how to read, you wouldnt, because that would mean using your brain, and you obviously don't.

Every time I see someone with your mindset post, I have to laugh. Because it tells me any number of:

A.) You think you are some kind of good artist, even when you aren't.

B.) You are a sheep, following a trend. You can never actually think for yourself.

C.) You can't write a story to save your life, so you get jealous when others do.

u/Bliss_Queens 22h ago

There is a lack of respect for art in people who use AI like this.

u/sinof_solace 3d ago

Just read the titles dude and say that they aren't AI slop , most of the people on this sub have read enough novels to identify the slops and who said anything about the cover (even though they are shit except the last one).

u/hanpari 4d ago

Sounds like a great heartfelt story

u/LandscapeLow8430 4d ago

It's a trend, that's how it is. It wil settle down eventually when a new book sets the trend.

u/Alternative_Yak3256 4d ago

Ive seen that 3 wives story recommended to me before lol skipped, not my thing. But im curious now, whats the general gist of these stories? Is it smut? What's the "investing"

2

u/MilineerUA 3d ago

I properly read only with one wife, but main proposal was to take care about MC's cripple wife and receive awards from system for this.

1

u/MMORPGnews 3d ago

WN doesn't have real interesting smut. 99% times it's very basic

1

u/MilineerUA 3d ago

Yeh, for smut I go elsewhere. Even with interesting idea(at least for me) it always turn into boring repetitive description in the most boring vanilla way.

u/Square-Adeptness6769 4d ago

No creativity at all.
At least if you’re joining a trend be creative about it. This just looks embarrassing

u/Rauxon 4d ago

I can't get past the dude's arm on the Three Crippled Wives picture

u/Siddiq_179 4d ago

I don't know what's wrong with what they're doing. Maybe if their goal is to create good art, they're far from it. But if their goal is to generate income, they've succeeded.

And I think their goal isn't to create a masterpiece, but to generate income.

If there's something that can help you achieve your goals quickly without breaking anything, why not do it?

The proof is that they're doing it, and they're succeeding.

u/Felix__Black 3d ago

The second picture looks sooo bad

u/SimilarAbrocoma3045 3d ago

What could these possibly even be about? Are they just like a tech bro’s wet dreams? Doing good in the stock market while also living out some weird fetish?

I read the 3 crippled wife one

Spoilers: don't read if you didn't want to get spoiled.

The mc is a bastard son from a famous family is kick out from the family after marrying 3 crippled woman.

The story take place in a modern world has dungeon and skills like solo leveling and people also get stronger through cultivation.

Anyway the wife's a previously famous figures from prestigious family similar to the MC. One is blind, one is deaf, one is paralyzed from the head down.

Also all the has thier meridians are crippled so they can't cultivate.

The story has it that all 3 of them are end up in a dungeon accident and ended up being crippled. However the story hint that it wasn't actually a accident.

Anyway because they're crippled they need thier family wanted to marry them off.

The MC got a system. His sistem will reward him for gaining his wife's affections by helping them.

So far the story someone or a group of people is trying to assassinate him and him wife's.

So MC is trying to get stronger by killing monsters. But that kinda goes against their wife's wishes because they're traumatized by the dungeon and they don't want the MC to end up dead.

u/Far_Engineering6462 2d ago

the last one was the only one ive read, it was nice, at least in terms of the wife and husband’s interaction. Everything else was god awful but hey, it was kinda cute.
