yunisao I'd say that's a very good ratio! :D Basically anything under 500 is good imo. Over a thousand, which I had for a long time, I would consider as atrocious XD

    So adding a new story to the list. Not going to attract much being infrequently updated since I have other story priorities. I added in a chapter for it today. I wrote this story years ago, even pitched it to a big brand publisher for fantasy genre and was given a response with fantasy potential, but no on the same-sex relationship. LGBT was not an element in fantasy stories. So, trying again in this day and age. Even still... sigh.

      Veronica8 That’s sad to hear. I wonder if they’d be okay with it now? The environment is a little better it seems; although, it’s still a little intolerant sadly.

      I mean I just had to read a story for history class narrated inside the minds/thinking of domestic terrorists, so if that flies, I don’t see why BL can’t.

          Chryiss I think these times are better since there is a lot more stuff being discussed out in the open thanks to social media. More people are wanting to be accepting and inclusive.

          Certainly places like Webnovel, Wattpad and RoyalRoad are giving writers the chance to write non mainstream stories.

          I feel more confident now that I can publish the works I want and give respect to my characters. So, it's all good. Just a bit more of a struggle to find an audience in comparison to your standard mainstream romances and genre stories.

            Today's batch.

            Done & dusted :grin:

              Veronica8 Holy cow 7 bookies! x_x
              And here it was an endeavor for me to try juggling 2.... :joy:

              TapReads.... *comes back after searching....

              Dang it! All the pretty art/book covers has me hooked! Now I feel compelled to read these stories too, UGH! What have you done to me, making me fall into another abyss!

                  It seems like a very small site though. Only one page in basically all genres, wut. And RSSG? That's...strange.

                  Chryiss hahaha. I be determined kitty writer. :smile_cat: I don't want to go back to my 12 year procrastinator self, so trying to make up for lost time.

                  TapReads are brand spanking new run by Zongheng Culture

                  Probably wouldn't recommend publishing there until they have a solid authoring platform where you can track stats. You can't promote within their site. You have to rely on twitter or other social media platforms to bring in an audience. It's another site with no html abilities, however you can delete your books. I like their clean format and distraction free reading. They don't have ads yet. I'm sure they will once they start being serious. At the moment I'm taking advantage. :smiley:

                      Veronica8 Hmm, I almost want to jump on the new little ship~
                      Yes, the lack of stats was surprising, but I do agree that the overall aesthetic of the format is very nice.
                      Clicked that link, and man, it's times like these that I badly want to know Chinese. T_T
                      The other time was when I saw a bootifuls arts website *cries
                      And then there was the original Naver Webtoons in Korean...
                      I wanna be multilingual already! >o<

                        195K / 425 = 458

                        Just left a boost from one day in daily updates so I'll bleed collections for a couple of weeks.

                          I just started a story 2 days ago... sadly since I'm joining contest 63 i can only keep reupdating that one singular chapter T-T
                          but this new novel is doing far better than my actual, well thought out of novel. Sigh
                          Ratio is 28:1 because of the chapter being literally one chapter, with 897 views.
                          Once this contest is over, I might just put the other one hiatus and work on this one. I can only juggle one novel at the time.

                          An update!

                          IEIWE- 29:1

                          It's been pretty stable since 2 days ago which was something I wasn't expecting. Def expecting a sharp decline soon
