I know some of you guys have this kind of problem, It some time demotivate me to continue the story. I want ask others how do you overcome this kind of situation.
How to keep motivate, even the feedback or reaction is not that great
NewbieJimjim I don't know about that. In my case, I got quite a bit critique since my book feels difficult to read and many grammar mistakes. But with that, it makes me more motivated to improve. Tbh, I much more happy when I got critique. It means there are some people who actually read my book.
Good review sometimes make you more lazy because you thought your writing is already good. It makes author not improve much.
If you got bad comment or feedback. Don't think much of it and get your focus on how to improving your book instead.

BlueJeans i did not mean bad comment or critique but rather attention received from the reader. for example the view and collection is so low compare to the amount of chapter that already publish
NewbieJimjim oh, I see. It can't be helped since you compete with other author who released their chapter daily. Your book might get buried if you don't update that often.
Just make sure you keep your book release on your pace. Don't think much about views and collection, and focus on your book more.
You could promote your book if it feels lack of exposure. If you are beginner like mine, don't rush and try to enjoy more when you writing your book.
NewbieJimjim Keep writing. Just imagine that there is atleast one reader waiting for your story update everyday.
Well despite uploading daily, I hardly get any views or collections. I wonder if I'm just too bad at it or my story isn't up to the standard. Quite saddening but it's still fine. I'll continue to upload it.

Bloom07 Hello! I skimmed your story and I can say that it has a lot of potential but the when I go back to your synopsis, my excitement was lowered because mostly the plot of your story was written there(or it is just me). you just gained a fan, i don't have powerstones right now but i'll vote for your book.

NewbieJimjim I know how it feels. I came from another platform. And in that platform you can assess whether your book or chapter was read by anyone. But here I have no idea if my chapter was even read or not. The only means to know was thru reviews and votes that I rarely get. I am just happy if someone tried to read it and was able to understand it.
I do not even mind receiving criticism. It will allow me to grow as a writer
thank you for the info... I actually checked it just now. thanks
