As a whole, web novels are infamous for content sprawl and pacing issues. If you enjoy having millions of words to sink your teeth into to get to know the world and characters, though, you may be interested. Keeping up with other readers on a weekly basis to discuss the story's events unfolding is another perk, in the same way discussing an ongoing TV show might be.>Why write web novels?Ease of access & potential for Patreon earnings.

>>24949526I just put it on a list and look it up later on Anna's if it seems interesting enough.
>>24949526Here my bro, I would never stab my story.https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/119783/fff-class-unlucky-antagonist-villains-origin-story
>>24949526What would Fang Yuan do in this situation?
new cover art delivered this morning, I'm so happy bros
>>24949526change this from All
>>24949540Cute.I'm going to finish my first book soon, and I want some art to celebrate.Can you do it?My last bro died.
>>24949526Stub just means the story was written purely to milk dosh and was never meant to go anywhere beyond that, so you should be glad the author signaled clearly and saved your time.
>>24949540she cute
>>24949547Sure but that also applies to trad pub books and all books on kdp and ku
>>24949572yes
>>24949547>Stub just means the story was written purely to milk doshWhy?
>>24949620Seems pretty self-explanatory, no?People write WN's for all sorts of reasons, but if you're taking it to KU and removing your writing from any sort of community you're obviously more motivated by money than anything else.
>>24949498The title of that book makes it sound like rape oriented romantasy.
any reqs on a story where the MC is immortal (both age & invincible / effectively invincible)?
>>24949740Pilgrim by Findley. Not Wanted on the Voyage is better though.
>>24949744neither of those are web novels...
You can treat this as a hobby or treat it as a business sure.However if you want to reach the maximum amount of readers you stub and go to KU.It has more people than RR. Many of them don't use RR and have no reason to.From their point of view since they are subscribed to KU they already have more litrpg or whatever they're into than they could realistically read in any given month.The idea that there are free stories on RR is irrelevant to them. They read their buffet on KU, and if it's on KU that means it's higher quality than what's available on RR.
>>24949754He didn't ask for a web novel and I do what I want.
>>24949547>>24949744>>24949758/wg/ melty
>>24949756>and if it's on KU that means it's higher quality than what's available on RR.lol
>>24949763I didn't write the first one. Are you insecure about reading web novels or something?
>>24949765now now, KU spends at least $50 on a cover instead of AI genning something
