Should i start again
I think you should take a step back, plan what you are writing, and make sure everything looks good. Hell, even your ':-' in the three chapter titles you do have are not spaced the same.

I bet you have a wonderful idea in your head of what you picture this being.

Now you need to work on your execution.

First, if you are writing by giving an AI an idea and letting it write your story, you will find zero support here from other writers. When you do that, you are no longer an author or a writer; you are just a prompter. (I have no idea what you are doing, just going by other comments.)

Second, fix your book title or your cover; they don't match.

Third, start writing yourself. I just read your first chapter when making this reply, and whatever AI program you are using is horrible. The EM- dashes are off putting and don't do the job you might think they are doing; they are trying to do the job of a semicolon without the supporting sentence structure.

Writing isn't a fast process. Take your time developing your story without using AI, then use a program like Grammarly to clean up your work. You seem to have a good idea, so don't rush it.

Writing isn't easy. It's a labour of love, hate, and whatever other emotions it generates for you. In the end, it will be yours, and you can be proud of that achievement.

Good luck on your journey.

I actually write entire chapters then asks ai to fix grammar and clarity}y so that prompting ?
bro... your cover doesn't even have the same name ?
that is because the anime anime is the blue dragon and the 1st arcs name is when the sea blades that’s why

If you plan to write, then I can help.

Planning involves plotting your novel from start to end, so this means, by the time you start writing, you already know the end for your novel. This may seem 'boring' or 'tedious' to pantser writers (those who don't plan much, and just write by chapter), but with proper self-discipline, routine and determination to end what you already began, you can finish what you already set out to do.

But first, the basics. You really should brush up on your English, and that includes proper use of punctuations, correct grammar, and capitalization. Don't hide behind the excuse "I'm not a native English speaker" (I'm not one as well, being a Filipino) because critics and readers can be brutal. If you can't find help here, there's always Google to help you search on the English writing rules. I mean, I committed the same mistake as you, writing before I properly learned grammar, and so I embarrassed myself with tense switching (that was back in Royal Road). I did all the things I advised you here.

You shouldn't feel sad and demotivated. Getting a 1 star is a rite of passage.

If that is the case, stop using that AI and switch to Grammarly... your writing won't look like it was written by an AI then.

Tis how it is. It sucks, really. But then, whenever I receive that, I just grit my teeth and carry on. Unless, you'll base your worth as an author on readers' opinions.

Look at my work. Lots of peeps here dropped it (about 20% of my total readers registered for most arcs), and I also received low ratings. But fuck them. I finished my work with a million words, 400+ chapters and 21 books. And I'm satisfied with what I did.

And really, you should've seen how many of SH readers back in 2020-2021 panned my work. Tis really demotivating, but I still came back to write because I want to tell a story, with readers or no readers.

This hobby is brutal, I'm telling you. You won't last long if you are not persistent in ignoring naysayers.

Honestly, I would. AI is a huge turn off to a lot of people.

But you are the writer; it is your work. We can only give you our thoughts; it is up to you to make the decision.

590 views is small, to be honest. But we all start small. Just be consistent, fix what you should fix, and carry on.
For my first 2 weeks , i really liked it ! But now i have 2 months of chapters planned dw, also I am more like an idea guy, if you need any ideas or plots ask me

Srry but the problem is I have a lot going in my life...I barely get time to make a single chaoter but i take time to write down chapters in tuitions. It woumd be very hard but i assure you i will start writing independently from chapter 11. Is that fine or shpuld I try ultra hard ?

Well, I already planned my work, so the ideas are already there. I just need concepts on how to execute, a.k.a. "weave" the narrative so it won't turn too tedious and boring.

Meanwhile, for you, try planning and don't let other ideas dilute your vision, no matter how cool those may be.

If your goal is attracting more readers, I think it'd be better to rewrite what you have already if you aren't satisfied with it

Me personally think you should start from scratch.

If you change your style completely after those 7000 words you have written (going by your current chapter lengths), it will look kind of weird to your readers, which has its own set of issues.

In the end, do whatever you want. It is your writing, not mine. You have the final say on what you do; we can only give you advice.

I will not change the style rather I would just imitate the style with my ideas
