I've read some chapters.It looks fine to me just that chapters are a tad bit too short, maybe write it a little bit longer I suppose!

    I've read the first few chapters. It's definitely not the writing and dialogues. Those are pretty good. Honestly, it might just be the readers preference. Many readers on here like systems and transmigration novels (dont know why), so that might be why your novel isn't getting the attention it deserves. Maybe change the synopsis? It's good but for me it doesn't scream, "Eye catching"

      If I write longer daily chapters then I will go mad dude. (I got a full-time job...)

      I am super glad that my writing style is good enough.
      Perhaps it is as what you have said, that readers are not used to this genre.

            You can maybe try adding a comment at the end of each chapter in the Author's thoughts to increase some feedback. Daily post is great, since it allows the readers to find you, but you can also try scheduling your releases at different times to attract new readers. I have tried it and it seems to work a little. I have done no real advertising for my own novel and the views tend to tally at about 1000 views average for a chapter.

              MagnusPhoenix1 from @MasterRabbink 's tips in another thread - what about the title can be "trendy" or unique enough to draw readers to click in?

              For example my novel (not very successful) used to get about 1k views per day with the title "Rebellion Against Fate".

              Then on Rabbinks guidance, I changed it to "Magicless? No problem!.." and started getting 2-4k views a day - with pretty much the same content...

              Also the synopsis - when I used an informative, clear synopsis explaining the story, I got less than 500 views a day and my collections stopped growing.

              When I reverted to a click-baity, cheesy joke, it went back up to 1k-2k.

              Lastly - realising that my book is NOT a trending topic. It would probably be a better for publish or RRL.

              But I like Webnovel and I'll just finish my novel here first :)

                  MagnusPhoenix1 Your novel is good, I like it but the problem is it's missing something. Not sure what but it's missing something that could make it exciting to read... How about trying to end your chapters with cliffhangers. Add a character that's so out of this world he/she is interesting enough to keep your audience happy. These are but a few suggestions of not worthy writer, well basically that's my opinion. Hope this helps. :)

                      MagnusPhoenix1 I don't read too many chapter but I notice.

                      • Good flow of story which made the story enjoyable to read.

                      • The problem is tenses you move between past and present during naration. I think past is your pick.

                      Not a + or -, Just preference... First person is abit harder to chew since most people accustomed to 3rd person view for a story. So I can't read to far... Because I fell strange.

                          [unknown] I think it should start by changing the synopsis.
                          At least you should mention who the main character of your story. And maybe change the cover too. The current cover didn't bring any interest to read, if the salamanders is the cause of djinn kingdom destruction, make cover a knight fighting giant salamanders for example.
                          And last, use the author thought on the bottom of chapter to interact with reader. You can ask comments or review there.

                            Simple Tips-

                            1.) Change your cover: Find something that would match WN's overall atmosphere.

                            2.) Write a better synopsis: Better yet, don't write a synopsis- write a blurb. It does not matter if you exaggerate it, just sell your novel through the use of the synopsis space.

                            3.) End your first few chapters in INTERESTING cliffs: Cliffs = Readers wait for the next chapters = more views.

                            4.) A secret tip that no one seems to point out- Make use of the ability to put Tags in your own novel: whispers Use those tags in the front page of the apps page. It brings a lot of lost souls into your novel. Trust me

                                Here's my overall impression:

                                • The cover: Not indicative of the setting. Looks like Europe rather than Persia / Middle East.

                                • The title: Is he really gonna do that or is it supposed to be figurative?

                                • The synopsis: Doesn't have anything to do with the title. Except for the world "Kingdom." In the synopsis, you're implying he'll save his kingdom, not burn it down, right?

                                • The protagonist: Kinda bland. How can you describe him besides "king" and "trying to be better than his father?"
                                  Give him some distinctive traits. Flaws are even better: they help humanize him, give him room for development, and give you ways to get him into trouble.

                                • The protagonist's goal/ motivation: Also kinda meh. Ask yourself "If the protagonist doesn't act, what happens?" If the answer is NOT something personal and immediate like "He's gonna die / Someone he loves is gonna die / etc" then the reader will lose interest.
