SweetsTomato haha! Yeah! Trying to get to that point. Another 5 chapters for the first one :)
Really glad for the tips!
Questions on Writing
@SweetsTomato @ImBloo @Misguided_Rooster @BabyTanuki Thanks for your feedback! What are your Webnovels...? Maybe I can read and learn ;) and leave a review in exchange for your taking the trouble to guide me.

Ierrech First Novel is a good novel to 'practice' to learn your style. This is why I use comedy to 'wrap' the bad style while getting better. Gwahahaha. (My Second Novel (not yet published) is my focused work).
Back to yours:
The cover is good.
The Title is WORST. Rebellion Against Fate is your title, that is not selling, but that is your brand. Feel proud of it. I use Endless Universes (and that 2 words didn't sell).
However, instead you add something not selling Magicless in Magic World.... Fist are enough. That is Synopsis.
What is selling in here is Naruto (or any other famous name), SEX (yes, this is the key to Top Rank), System (it is outdate...).
Unless you have the keywords, you will not get 'bonus' readers. So if you write your title as just "Rebellion Against Fate" you will get no benefit or no loss than current title.
Is the MC OP? Overpowered MC is popular. That is a better keyword to put on title, if after the MC got the power, she would become very very powerful. Like one punch man? If she isn't OP, do not use that keyword tho.
Perhaps "Magicless? I have my Fist!" "Magicless? I have OP Fist! - A Story of Overpowered Woman for example. (OP story is hard.)
The title is too long without selling keyword except "Magicless". <= This is unique but the rest isn't.
You have a good style with description better than me (I admit that). The problem is niche market, but your first readers and follower, must be you. Yourself, so write what you like else, you will be disappointed.

MasterRabbink Thanks so much...! I do have alot of confidence in what I'm writing, and enjoy reading myself what I write.
I struggle with continuing because I recognise: my work is not "trendy". Gonna experiment like what you suggested! And just keep learning! And will add your novel and review it :)
I have another work that I have in my backpocket... Titled "Please Let Me Die!" About... Needing to find out how to die ;) probably would be more trendy...
But I feel the same. If I don't write what I desire to write, I'm just doing it for money... :(
Ierrech Ooh free review! Nice :).
My novel's called The Expandables - A Post-Apocalypse Cyberpunk Adventure (The title's a mouthful, but that's the point - for da keywords)
OR you can click my name / icon for a profile description. There's a link to my novel there. @MasterRabbink's the same. You can do the same too. More advertisement doesn't hurt. ;)
MasterRabbink trying this out, with a slightly more click-baity synopsis...
"Magicless? No problem! But it's hard to get a date when you're stronger than titans! (Rebellion Against Fate)"

Ierrech Please Let Me Die
Yep. That title alone is already selling.
Try to check your title on Mobile Phone. Reader couldn't read more than 3~4 words.
Ierrech
I can tell you your biggest problem without reading it. You don't update daily. You need to consistently update daily for a chance to appear on front page in daily update section. That's where all of a novels followers will usually come early on unless they win a writing contest. Also, make sure you update daily based on Beijing time.
MasterRabbink yeah... very hard to get a title that works to draw people and on mobile...
Some ideas:
Dating's Hard for OP Girls
It's hard for OP girls to get a date when you're stronger than titans!
Magicless? No problem! But it's hard to get a date when you're stronger than titans!
Being OP & Romance don't mix well!
SnoozySloth that's interesting... I post only 6 days in a week usually. Now traveling, didn't post... will try to post 7 days a week for 2 weeks and see what happens!
Ierrech
Good luck. I've had my novel's appear under daily updates after a week or two, but I've heard it take around a month for some other authors. Consistency is important. You can always use the publish timer to. I'm usually asleep when my chapters release lol.
Ierrech That is roughly what I had when I first started out. I had about 1k per 1 chapter and about 10 new collections per day

Willing to do a review swap with you, I don't mind.

Ierrech The trick is never write at your full speed.
For example: Your full speed is 2k/day. Your chapter should be 1.5k. So you have 500 words storage per day.
If you speed is 1.3k/day. Make your chapter 1k per day. You will have stockpile for when you have 'writer block', sick, etc..
MasterRabbink ah. I can write about 3.5k a day, or 2 chaps. But work and married life is busy + traveling... :(
BabyTanuki let me read it now :) A good break after agonising over what to do about my WN for the last few days...
Ierrech Your prologue is really confusing. A lot of world term bombs all at once. I opted to skip it and jump into Chapter 1. Still reading
MasterRabbink
My full speed is around 15K words a day. Do not recommend. No bueno lol. I managed 5k a day for a while and could have stuck with that, but college got in the way =(. 2,000 - 2,500 is fairly easy for me at the moment though. Takes 2 hours on a good day and 4 on a bad one.
BabyTanuki that's true. I have been thinking to delete the prologue... it's too wordy even for my taste.
