MasterRabbink This is very helpful, thank you! I have to say, Webnovel's approach to getting people to make content is very... novel. Almost like a competitive game. I'm not a fast writer (as you might have guessed from my Wattpad profile, although I wrote those years ago) so I think doing dailies is gonna be tough. It's going to take me a while to stock up on chapters as well.
Well, I'm not really looking to be popular. I just want to get people reading my work. I already somehow got more views here in a day than actual years on Wattpad, which is nice.
SnoozySloth ah, well. If it's for the sheer joy of writing then that's fine.
SnoozySloth Thanks for the info! I'll probably pass on the daily updates thing, haha. Sounds like too much work for my small pea brain.
How often do the writing contests change? The current ones don't really fit my current novel, although I guess I could just write a short story.
I migrated here from Wattpad since it seems like I'll find more of my target audience here. It's pretty cool so far (although I just joined literally an hour ago so uh my opinion will probably change dramatically in the next few days), but the whole gamification of writing a novel still leaves me a bit confused.
I'm mostly confused about the power stones. Do I just vote for my own novel everyday until the algorithm gets me more readers? Like, I want to advertise it here, but it seems a bit needy. Engaging with the systems is probably the way to go, but I mostly want to focus on writing.
Also, how often do writers here post their work? I'm used to posting one chapter a week, but it seems like most people here are pretty prolific.
