Avidfan if that is her title than she wont be found at all unless she did the tags right.

But definitely a title issue.

Think about it,. Why else is the avarage title something like: Reincarnated in a fantasy world with/as blabla

Its because people look for reincarnated and fantasy a lot.

Single word novel titles dont work at all on webnovel.

The only reason 'the mech touch' isnt lost in the results is because Mech is a major popular tag to search for.

Likewise, you need to repeat your tags in your summary.

Example title: Reincarnated as a Mech Pilot.

Summary example:
Hero always wanted to be a mech pilot, upon reincarnation he gets his wish.

Follow Hero in this militairy Sci-fi as he makes his way through trials and ordeals to prove in the wars that follow... That HE is the best in this epic Science fiction space opera.

Example tags:
Reincarnation Mech Pilot Epic Militairy Sci-fi War Space Mecha wishfulfillment

Im not a star in tags but I recommended you look for the most popular tags used by other the nost popular authors of the same genre and test them out with searches of your own for maximum number of search results.

There are also people who do this as a gig on. freelance websites for a couple of bucks. It is indeed called SEO and there are free courses of availeble if you look for it

Daily posting and make sure you're consistent. But without promoting your work, how would people know that your book exist? Promote it, with all your strength. Put the pride aside, be full shameless but not annoying.

You can also consider posting on another website, the more you did the better. It actually help to attract more readers that normally would have not know that your novel exist.

And like some have said, trading review might works too. At least, get 10 reviews for your novel, this is important. People usually don't take a single glance at novel that don't have any rating, I for one unless I purposely look for it.

Hope the tips I provided help you and your journey ahead. That said, don't give up just yet even if you didn't achieve the success you hopes for. This line of work required patient, and most importantly experience. If your first novel didn't work out, start a new one.

Grind the shit out of it. I'm sure eventually you'll be to write a book good enough that would put a smile on people's faces. Or maybe you prefer to see them suffering? That works too.

    Wu_Shao_Ling I recommed the same things as before. Also beware the use of chinese names if you hope to reach a western audience.

    In my personal experience it is hard for me to differentiate them from each other because we never or very rarely hear such names in our daily lives which makes it really difficult to follow multiple novels with chinese names. We will confuse everything and everyone with eachother in our heads.

    This is why things like pokemon changed the mc's name from Satoshi to Ash for western exports.

    Likewise the Title, Image and Summary play a role.

    Your summary is using so many line breaks in it that it repels every bone in my body to look at the end of the expansion and see what you actually wrote at the bottom.

    It might well be a cultural diffrence in reading preferences and formatting that is at the root of your troubles.

    Your novel might well do fantastic on a chinese website instead of an international one like wn.

    So I recommend looking at popular novels in your category and see what they do diffrently from you in naming, image and summary to help you appeal to an english speaking audience.

    Generally if you do something based on a country and its naming conventions such as chinese or philipino or something like it. People from another country who find your work in english will not know a thing about yours and many references, jokes and nuances are lost on them.

    So make sure to keep that in mind too. That most of the sayings you know, most of the jokes, manner of speaking and concepts known to those of your culture wont know them nor recognise them on sight.

    Its why most American movies are so simplified, its so they bridge across those gaps in knowledge better to reach an international audience. That is also why the plot is usually reitterated in various ways throughout the movies too and why characters adress eachother by their names more than people do naturally irl.

    My first impression of your novel was that it was probably another chinese translation, one that used poor formatting and a dull picture, and that I wouldn't be able to follow the story anyway due to the names.

    This is not meant offensively. Its a cultural diffrence in what appeals to each of us. I recommend looking on freelance websites for book cover artists to see what sorts of covers they make, the ones on 5er for example tend to focus on a western audience and would likely appeal more to such readers whilst having the opposite effect on people from asian countries.

    Im sure you noticed a simular trend in design choices between Asian websites and European ones for example. The same level of difference exists between each form of media. Its why most large brands hire native commercial agencies to promote their wares instead just placing the same commercial with a voice over in each country

    Hope this helps

      Septic_Red no idea and I've been doing this site for 2 years.

      I suggest you don't bother with statistics. Just focus on writing the story and finish it how you want, if you still have the passion for it.

      To be honest, you can research trends and such until you're coughing blood and still might not get anywhere. Digital media is a fickle thing, attracting the shortest attention lifespan from people. So, you mind as well just enjoy the story writing journey.

      I think you need book marketing services from a reputable agency, I got my book marketed by amazon publishing central and they increased my book sales by 1200%.

        a month later

        There are multiple factors that play in this.
        As mention, the biggest ones are what ever your novel is being seen by people. The other is quality of your own work. The other things you got to keep in mind that, 100k words for 7 months might be considered low. In a personal experience a lot of bigger and medium size authors have 100k in 1-5 months give or take. Their chapters might be smaller but they probably upload more frequently.
        Besides all of that, they could had already established fans with their previous works (which would also mean they could take it easy).

        My suggestion to you is, the next time when you want to compare, check their previous works (if they have any), how frequent do they write and also try reading couple of chapters and the reviews if there is any.
        Do not worry to much either, and always keep in mind that it's not bad to check out other people's work. That's how you learn and expend your knowledge and can also get inspired.

        Best of luck to you o/

        I did a weekly updates - with more word count, and that didn't help much. When I posted daily, I got notified that I was recommended for "Congrats! Novel Recommended on <Fresh Stories>" At least I saw a slight difference when posting daily compare to weekly posting.
        I tried to do more review swaps too. But that's the extent of things.
        My book is Chinese - not sure whether it's niche so not a lot of ppl enjoy reading it, since there's no system, cultivation etc. The bit abt grammar too. I really hope to be better with it. Some authors point it out (which I am really thankful for it) but most just leave it at the review which I don't know where is the mistake. I use grammarly but there's still grammar and errors which I keep editing.
        Overall though, the statistics still look so flat like a dead fish. Haha ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧ yay me

        Promoting books is harder - not sure where to even start.

          Sereinchoo I am personally same as you. I am not fluent in English so I used to use Grammarly but now I use word tune, cuz it gives me option to decorate my words better while still does the same thing as Grammarly except with few errors. Few words are free on daily bases if you want to check out the program.
          The other thing I discovered is that not many actually mind few errors here and there as long as it's readable and the readers can understand your sentences.
          After all, these types of sites are not meant for professional writes. But, that said there are few.
          Also, the more you upload the more you will be seen, which is why you saw a jump in your views.
          You can also try taking a week break from posting your work and use that time in writing. Then, you can post 2-3 times daily and see how that will work for you.
          As someone also mentioned, you should get proof readers. You don't have to find professional proof readers (at least not for now when you are starting out), it can be anyone.
          It might be also beneficial to upload your work on other sites and ask for suggestions on their forums. The more u do research the better you will get, and obviously same goes for reading other's novels.

            KJDane Thank you so much for the suggestion. I will check out Word Tune, from what you mentioned, it sounds quite good. Yea I try to write on the weekends then post the chapters out daily. Posting daily really helps.

              MinxMean Thanks for your insightful comment.
              Please, what other websites do you recommend when it comes to novel promotion?

              For me, I started writing my first novel on this site about 2 months ago. I don't use much word building at the beginning, but it's a slice of life novel, so I can't tell if the beginning is considered too slow for that genre.
