I feel like someone lost a bet...

One isn't better than the other by broad strokes. It depends on what type of genre you are writing that will indicate on how good your audience engagement will be. Like, if you are a LiteRPG manhwa novel with decent writing skills. You will likely get good engagement with RR readers. Erotica on...

I will say that I do get more comments on my work here on SH over other platforms. But I feel like you get harsher commenters on RR. For Wattpad you have to deal with scam artists giving you copy-paste positive platitudes about how amazing your work is and if you pay them they will create...

On SH? I don't know. But I feel like there is a lot of newer commercially published books on contemporary fiction that have done well. I don't know any off the top of my head, but my partner usually loves reading them, along with historical fiction. It's not a definitive answer but I don't know...

What a deal! :blob_joy: they are literally giving it away! LITERALLY! Anyway, I'm glad you didn't get sucked in on their "services" even though it sounds nice to have someone, from a publishing company, try to tell you that your work has potential. I feel like it's a little bit of an...

Well the jokes on you @Corty they answered this question on their website https://www.holzerbooksllc.com/post/is-holzer-books-llc-a-scam Check and mate! Not a scam. Because they said they aren't. :blob_sir: But in all honesty, these guys are more of a, you pay us, we'll print your books, type...

I need a break.

There are a lot of factors. And it also depends on what site you're posting on. SH is better if you can post daily. That way if you have a popular tag readers will see the most recent upload for set tag.
