I've been planning to write and publish a story here but there's a few questions bothering me. Since I've been only Reading web novels for over a month, i'd like to ask if there's certain guidelines is writing one such as what genres are covered, are there any that doesn't fit in web novels, does the characters name need to be Chinese (I feel stupid asking this one but I just want to make sure), how many words should there be in a chapter, and such. I want to know what makes web novel different from other novels as to fit what would I like to write.
Questions in Writing A Story
Hmm. I don’t think the names matter. I’m American and been using very generic names that are nowhere near Chinese. Most genres are listed before you start your book in inkstone. I started my book with 600 words a chapter, but the readers told me they would like it longer so now I do 1k a chapter and haven’t had any complaints recently. I don’t know if this helps...
half_empty Hahaha thanks for answering my questions
Ihsakak No problem! Let me know when it’s up and I’ll check it out!
half_empty Sure, but it won't be any time soon Hahaha. I've check you work, I'm starting to read it, but I noticed it's all free chapters?
Ihsakak Lol yes I’m just a poor original author. I’m not contracted by webnovel or anything.

half_empty heyy, I read something about being contracted, it seems that you need to have 3500 words every chapter.
