Cobyboy okay... I need opinions about writing synopsis. How much of a spoiler should be in there? For now my synopsis is a little ambigous and you could say not interesting.
My story's a romance fiction. The plot is basically about a guy (mc) who is practically 'damsel in distress' and the girl is the 'prince charming' who will swoop in and save him and lead him back on track.
Should I write the synopsis like this? Is it wise to expose the plot to would-be readers?
Another question, should I post my story in other sites like wattpad or rrl? For now webnovel is the only place I post this story to.

LetThereBeMagic If this is not a plot twist you're trying to hide and shock readers with then go on and use it. Don't introduce too many characters or events in your synopsis, focus on key elements that are easy to grasp by reading your novel's 1-5 chapters and yet are interesting and may catch someone's attention right away. If you're writing a story with a 'cheat' or 'op system' that are available from the start and interesting them I would focus on introducing them in a funny/intriguing way. If you're writing a love story where the girl plays the part of a prince maybe your synopsis can introduce that character like a guy only to mention at the end something like 'If only she was a boy' etc.
As for posting on watapad ... give up. New stories don't have any exposure over there and drown in millions of others, you will get like one reader per month.
As for RoyalRoad that's a good idea, people over there are active, like to comment, the site gives you many tools that author's like (exact count of views per each chapter etc.) the exposure is fair and it's easy to gather some additional readers, but they tend to be a bit favorizing towards the litRPG genre and similar.
LetThereBeMagic Make your synopsis as clickbaity as possible, you could put a little exaggeration here and there but don't overdo it hahaha
Trako thank you very much! 
Actually the plot couldn't be a plot twist but still i want readers to figure it out themselves and be shocked. It's a romance story, there's only one way it could go. I realize the important part is how i write the process and make it interesting....
So what you're saying is it's okay to include a little plot in the synopsis? This is getting complicated 
.
You're right about wattpad.
I'll post it in rrl.
If you are curious my story is Not Prince Charming. No link coz I'm using app 
Put yourself in the reader's shoes. Remember those time when you were bored and scourged through tens or hundreds of novels, hoping to find an interesting one.
-it could be a genre you like
-it could be an interesting concept you've never came acrossed
-it could be two or more genres you like and imagined both of them crossed together in a novel, and then a novel that fulfills it or most probably close to it appears
Easiest one would be to open up your Novel Library and look at how your favorite authors/translator put up their synopsis
Hope that helps buddy. Maybe you can check out how I did my novel's sysnopsis
Surviving Apocalypse with Powers of Fictional Characters
Cobyboy right. Except I hate clickbait ads and avoided them like the plague lol. (Webnovel's ads is a necessary evil though
). Can't imagine myself peddling a romance story like that 
LetThereBeMagic heeyy gimme a insight on what you'd write for it
turtleboiii um... I don't get your question. What kind of insight?
I write it seriously for self-publishing or at least to accomplish something, like 'an enjoyable book that people could appreciate'. Also to prove that I can be as good as a first language writer.
(English is my second language)
(Hope this is the right answer)
LetThereBeMagic oohhh sorry realise my mistake in phrasing.
I meant like an example of what you'd write for the synopsis hehe sorry
turtleboiii gosh I'm so embarrassed
I don't know yet. Still a little muddled. Was thinking of taking my time to rewrite it 
anjeeriku u won't bite but lick and eat them!
azachy i followed your suggestion and went to look at your book's synopsis too. My favorite in my library is TKA (of course 
), and yours is also an action-packed story. I think they were too different in genre to mine. Maybe I'll have to visit NU. A little bit more research won't hurt
these guys 
how dare you accuse me of such things? This one is innocent and pure. Don't ruin my reputation.

Lol giving this a shot here
(Insee MCs name)'s life was not a fairytale. You know the 'knight in shining armour saved damsel in distress' story?
Yeah that didn't work with him.
In fact, his life was a bit of the reverse.
Idekkkkkkkkkkk
Yea nvm that
