Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own "sections" (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I don't know. It doesn't have to be fancy, and I apologize for not knowing how to describe this well. I've just been searching and searching and I don't know what to look up to find what I want, it's extremely frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is good advice. Learn about markdown syntax, try Obsidian to write notes that can be interrelated in a network, add drawings, and export selected notes to HTML. You can further stylize all of them with some custom CSS. There are many "content management system" (CMS) like Obsidian does. I'd self host ghostwriter. But just search for a CMS on awesome self hosted list and find something popular that's akin to you for whatever features or underlying tech (e.g. Wagtail for django web devs)
