Veronica8 Recognized your name, so I thought I'd pop in. :3
Kudos to you for writing a historical story set in WWII! Actually, I just died over writing a 10 page WWII paper, so not funny! But actually, in general, you have unique plots compared to the majority of stories here. Of course, I still love a good romance and game here and there.

Good luck with the promotion! I know it's hard as I've tried myself. :') Still don't know where are the views are coming from on mine when I've gained no collections or comments. :/ All these silent creepers, haha!

Anyway, I'll take a look at your stories and probably leave a review since you seem to be lacking in that area. Maybe go on one of the review swap threads to boost the reviews up to 10 total so the rating finally shows? Also, it might help you gain some insight on why the stories supposedly might not be people's cup of tea? Not that it really matters since it's not possible make everyone like it >< So just keep at it, okay? :) Struggling writers FTW

    Chryiss Thank you very much. I really appreciate the comment. Historical Fiction is no walk in the park that's for sure. Thanks to writing prompt #46, TMS came about and I just continued the story.

    I've been fortunate to receive some comments that pointed to things I needed to change or highlight. It's been a win there. I try my best to keep my readers in mind.

    I don't mind the creeper readers if they boost my views to 1M lol XD.
    I'll keep my stories up here, in case the low interest is a seasonal thing (fingers crossed).

    Cheers. :smile:

      Why I recommend it: This a realistic story which captures real emotions of what people go through when they have heartbreaks. The pain associated. It also captures the beauty of new love. The fluttering of butterflies in the stomach, the nervousness. It purely captures the emotions as it is. It will make you cry, laugh, go weak in your knees. Some part of it is true and based on real-life experience.

      Synopsis: Akira had a bad heartbreak and she thought that was the end. But then she had a chance encounter with a guy. But what will happen when she will be torn between her old flame and the new found love? What will happen when the person she loves, loves her as well but hates her more. How many hearts will be broken? Stay tuned to find out.

        Reinesse Royal Road?

        Does anything but litrpg with horribly OP (male) MC get any readers there?

        Maybe. I just haven't seen any such trends since I joined RR back in 2015.

        I'll agree on the quality as long as you comb through a lot of junk. On average much better English compared to Webnovel, but I still have to add half a star to my reviews to balance out the substandard requirements concerning grammar. Sure, I'm adding a full star here, so, well :D

          Reinesse thank you. I'll continue my work there and see how it goes. Cheers

            StenDuring I started RR but found the interface clunky that's why I stopped it. I'm active on Wattpad, but their rank and tag system is broken at the moment, so discovery is not good.

              Veronica8 Their interface is much better now. Among others you can no longer screw up your typesetting when you cut and paste from the WP of your choice.

              I'm back reviewing at RR again. The quality is distinctly better compared to two years ago, and conversely publishing schedules are more realistic with the really good stories maybe dumping a chapter a week, if even that often. So we're talking novels rather than webnovels, and as I definitely write a webnovel I happily went here where speed of uploads trumphs quality of writing ;)

              I only use Wattpad due to the feature you get a timestamp and are able to associate your writing with an 'all rights reserved' CR-note. I get exactly ONE read per chapter there, which is me uploading said chapter :D

                Haha. I have the same experience.

                StenDuring I'll give them ago again. I probably just have to be a bit more patient :smile_cat:

                  Honestly I don't believe this site is made for very detailed psychologically deep novels. This site is made particularly for the shonen loving minority of readers. This site is very unique in the way that you don't need to be well learnt or spoken to enjoy reading its novels (I'm not calling anybody stupid). Most of this sites readers come to this site because they've run out of Manga to read or anime to watch ( or at least that's how I got here). I think your novels are just too complicated to read just for mindless enjoyment.

                  Forgive me if I thought wrongly of your novels. I only read the synopsis.

                    Just finished chapter three of Zaldizko; I'll probably read a few at a time since the chapters are quite long, whew~!
                    I do suggest considering splicing the chapters (maybe in half) since-cough-you'll get more views, but more importantly, the flow of reading might be better in terms of processing the events. It'll also allow commenters to be more precise in their comments. Er, I guess this sounds weird. But for me anyway, when a chapter makes me want to comment on a lot of points, that usually indicates to me that the chapter had too much content, and I don't feel like taking all the time to comment, or only comment part of what I wanted. That might be a personal thing though. XD

                    On this note, it's interesting how the format/platform of the story changes how one reads it. With physical books, I can just read on and on without any concerns for length, but for mobile, I get bothered easily. On a larger screen like a laptop, length is a little less of an issue, but even then, the scrolling action tires the eyes after a while.
                    I guess this isn't unexpected though. While scrolling seems easier, the movement of the words after a while is jarring to the eyes. I could never read as much in one sitting on any kind of computer screen as I could with physical paper..

                    As for views, collections or whatever else, it seems to be more a cyclical thing on Webnovel. XD The time it takes to build up a large enough audience to rank on the powerstones and thereby possibly increase reader passerby volume, is very long. I can only imagine featuring and contracting would boost stats otherwise. It's a shame the support for originals isn't very high on here. But I suppose everywhere this is a problem. Maybe one day someone will figure out a better algorithm and structure.

                    (Wah it looks like I wrote an short essay x_x)

                      Wildbird I think you're right there. I thought to give this site a shot. Got to try all options. :smile_cat:
