This is one of the main reasons. Big numbers...and tangible numbers related to growth. This is a very strong fantasy, even if most people won't admit it. Grindling Lvl 1 to lvl 10 sword mastery has a visible effect. In real life, work hard for several years, and most people won't see growth...

You mean the displayed word count is bad? But that's what readers are looking for. SH doesn't say to writers that longer is better, readership demands just simply want long stories (on any site with serialized works). There have been experiments of that on RoyalRoad (not sure if any were done...

I got something like this before when I tried to post my story on Webnovel. I didn't know anything about the site's reputation back then. Good thing that comment made me stop publishing on that site.

How about rewrite it from the ground up? Or reboot it or something?

No worries. :blob_melt:

Hello! Awesome art. Is this offer still up? If so, I had commissioned art before in this chapter of my story. Just look at the image hidden by the spoiler tag. REND - 1.19 | Scribble Hub This is like a sort of evil god version of the main character. Can you sketch a normal human girl version of...

I tried posting to Webnovel a long time ago, but that place wasn't for my story. It was still kinda "decent" back then, although their tagging system was already bonkers. I was thinking to try posting there again now that I have more chapters, but I discovered that non-contract stories are just...

Pretty cool

As others mentioned, you still have low readers. I'd also add that SH readers are comparatively more silent than RR readers. So much more silent actually. It might be harsh, but I think you should go for a rewrite/new story. Your early chapters are not hooking in the readers. In my story, the...

Oh yeah, the Group back in ancient days of RR

I can't really think of any right now, and that's mostly because all class scenes I can recall in web/light novels, manga, anime etc. are all about the MC just showing off in class. Harry Potter books is good on the exposition side and worldbuilding side of classes though. And since this is a...

Since it's a Battle Academy genre, put in actual lessons. Tons of stories with school arcs (Battle Academy and not) kind of forget the lessons. Sure, there are a few lessons at the start, but eventually, the "school" aspect is forgotten. Have class scenes, and then the battle scenes will be the...

Hmmm, for a start I think can study how dialogue tag works. You're only three chapters in, so I think it's a pretty good investment to take the time to study it and then edit your chapters.

People are used to past tense. If you go present tense, have to written well enough that people won't notice it. Hunger Games for one is present tense, and it's a very popular book.

You should also take into account genres. Like if you're not writing a "mainstream" genre in SH, 100 followers might already be considered a huge deal.

Compared to RR? Yeah, like was mentioned, practically no review swap culture here. RR people are also more vocal. I find that many readers here at SH are just chill silent readers. (Just based on my own experience) a way bigger percentage of readers at RR are willing to write reviews compared...

Agree with this one. For example, Wildbow with Worm. He used tons of his earlier drafts of various stories to make as side characters in Worm.

Oh, sharing time! :blob_melt: Anyway, I'm writing a story with a psychopath MC. It gained traction quickly at RR because psychopath MC is a really popular trope. Unfortunately, what's actually popular is a psychopath MC that isn't really a psychopath, but more like a psychotic killer, usually...

Learn to laugh at your work. I have a couple of really old webnovels written 5-6 years ago that I dropped. My writing skills from back then compared to now have (hopefully) improved. I do plan to rewrite those old works of mine. And when I read them, I just laugh at my old writing then strive to...

I find RR more open now. It was super elitist when The Group was around like six years ago, and the effects are still felt to this day. But really, RR is now more open. I think it's because Wattpad people are migrating there that romance and other genres are starting to take hold, compared to...
