Well it's a writathon project getting 1-2 chapters a day, I'm just sad to see such pathetic view numbers compared to my more established long running title. I did NOT get much conversion from my established readers at all.

It could be the sharp tonal shift and different subject matter. I'm locking down my upcoming big project and that I'm going to aim more towards the big RR likes: isekai, progression, litrpg, staboxes, system autism, soft love interests, male mc, and a few other things. Only things I refuse to do are time loops and cultivation.

It's ok. There's an atmosphere, and the background is nice. The title and author name are clear and unobtrusive. Personally I feel her pose is a stiff, and while she's cute I feel like her expression could show more personality. She could be surprised like "whoa! This book is magic! I dont believe it!" or mischievous like "Hahaha, I'm gonna cause all sorts of trouble." I'm just not seeing a personality. Also, her ears should be bigger and fluffier.

Is medieval litRPG fantasy the only genre that sells and has the potential to last for hundreds of chapters? Beware of Chicken, Primal Hunter, He who fights with Monsters... all medieval sword&sandal fantasy.

>Genre?

>>24861342
Yes it is worth holding back. Two reasons.

>1 - Ads Are Already Annoying
Nobody likes ads. Ads are annoying by nature, even when it's for something we like, want, or even need. So when someone clicks on an ad, they're giving you a chance but they're already frowning. We stop hating the ad when the product advertised is actually good. In your case, that product is your wn. If I click an ad and see it has 3 chapters, I'm not going to read them and say "Hey, this is neat, I should keep an eye on this!" What I'm thinking is "You dragged me here to look at this? Why did I waste my fucking time, ugh! Time to scroll tiktok instead."

When someone clicks an ad, you have One Chance to make them stay. You need to pitch them a good product. That means quality, yes, but you need quantity too. Think of it like a dish; If you serve me the best food of my life, but all you have for me is a teeny tiny bite-sized sampling, I'm going to want more. And if I can't have it or have to wait for it, I'm not going to say "Well, what I had was good at least", I'll say "Well now I'm STILL hungry, so I guess I'll go somewhere else to eat my fill."

>2 - Sunk Cost Fallacy
Have you ever read something that's kind of mediocre, not bad but not amazing either, but it has potential so you keep reading and even if you run out of chapters, you STILL check in for the next release cause you're already 60 chapters in?

You want this effect when someone reads your wn.

If someone clicks on your ad, then ideally, you want them to get invested. Let them lay down their roots so they don't leave. If the soil's too shallow, they'll uproot themselves easily.

Give them enough to chew on when they arrive before you put an ad up. That way, they're more likely to stick around. They're already 30 chapters in, might as well keep going. If you're thinking "B-but my storytelling is amazing! They'll want to stick around even if they only have 15 chapters to read for now!", slap yourself. Firstly because your writing is never as good OR as bad as you think it is. But second, because this effect works even better if your story is actually good. Weak roots can still keep the tree upright in a storm if they're deep enough, but even the strongest roots in the world won't keep the tree anchored if they only go down a few inches.

Give them enough to get invested in, so they'll come back. If your story is mediocre to okay-ish, at least you got them to lay their roots down. If your story is amazing, congrats, they're DEFINITELY invested now. You gain more by waiting until you have a decent amount to show before you get eyes on your story than you do from rushing to get eyes on it before there's enough to show.

>>24863239
>Sunk Cost Fallacy
This is a completely foreign mentality to me. If I read something for 300 chapters and it's not paying off, then the pressure to stop wasting my time just gets higher.

>>24862946
>What do I call a robot skeleton covered in protrusions of high grade armor, specifically designed to fuck with bladed weapons? It's fast and has a boxer type stance cos it has small shields on its arms and spikes inside them (pilebunkers)

"bullshit"

I really like the bit at the start of some litrpg/progression novels where they're a really weak blank slate improving but most of them lose me once a "build" gets locked in

better a shoutout than a crashout

Shoutouts seem like a waste of time unless you get one from someone who already has a decently size fanbase. If you have 30 followers and swap with someone with 50 followers how many new readers do you think you're going to pick up?

>>24863641
>If you have 30 followers and swap with someone with 50 followers how many new readers do you think you're going to pick up?
maybe one or two, and if you do that 50 times that's not negligible for trying to get onto Rising Stars
but you're obviously right that if you get a shoutout from a 10k story, that's gonna do way more.
Sometimes you just have to settle for what you can get. Part of the hope is that one of those 50 smaller stories hits rising stars themselves and blows up, and then that shoutout will drive a lot more traffic

I got a pretty hefty boost by shouting out someone who was just starting out, then they suddenly exploded in popularity.

Thoughts on this harem composition?
>Main lead: human priestess, secretly leader of the thieves' guild, a robinhood type
>Dwarf: daughter of blacksmith, intelligent and skilled at mechanical contraptions
>Half-elf half-vampire: sexy (large breasts, not a loli), seductive, slightly haughty, but has a inferiority complex over being half-undead
>Panda beastkin: she is plain and has next to no sex drive, is lazy, but is skilled in calligraphy and martial arts

This bro is spending more time designing his pokemon than on his actual writing. Though I guess he knows his target audience.

raising a mistress is like raising a gu

that's why they say to discord dicksuck. there are a number of authors with decently sized fanbases who shove a new shotout to some literalwho at the top of every new chapter because they wanna help out the cute newbies. and you find those authors through discord.
