Yeah, the early draft had obvious AI skeletons—I won’t deny that. That’s why I went back and fully rewrote Ch.1–5 myself. It actually feels like a novel now. If you’re curious, give the revised chapters a shot. If not, no hard feelings. Yeah, fair enough—the early draft definitely leaned on an...

I get why you feel that way, and honestly I’ve seen how badly it can go when cliques try to dominate trending lists. That’s not what I want this to become. My idea was more about small authors helping each other survive the “cold start” stage—sharing feedback, giving each other a first handful...

[UPDATE] Chapters 1–5 Fully Rewritten – Looking for Fresh Eyes! I took the feedback seriously and rewrote the first 5 chapters to feel more like an actual novel—more scene detail, natural dialogue, and a slower build of intrigue. If you tried it before and found it too stiff or “AI-ish,” I’d...

Fair criticism—and I appreciate you taking the time to spell it out this bluntly. You’re right: this story started as a social simulation / what-if experiment, with AI-assisted drafting mainly to shape the ideas into a readable form. But I can see now that the lack of lived-in detail and...

Yeah, just to clarify—the story isn’t meant to “promote” any ideology. It’s more of a what-if social experiment: what would actually happen if someone tried to reshape Britain step by step—legally—into an Islamic state? It’s really about the political process, social manipulation, and...

Yeah, that makes sense. I can see why most readers wouldn’t commit to a story with only 3 chapters—it doesn’t give them much reason to invest yet. I guess I underestimated just how important backlog really is on SH. As for the premise, yeah—it’s definitely a risky one. I wanted to explore the...

Yeah, I’ve heard a few people say the same—that you need a huge backlog before anyone even considers investing time in your story. I guess I underestimated just how slow the initial traction can be here. Out of curiosity, did you just keep updating steadily until readers eventually showed up...

Oh, that’s really encouraging to hear—so it is possible to slowly build an audience for historical stories here? I wasn’t sure if anyone had actually managed it. I might try Tapas as well then, since you say it’s a bit friendlier for the genre. Do you cross-post everywhere at once, or do you...

Thanks, that actually helps a lot. I was wondering if it’s just me—or if it’s really more about the site’s audience. I might look into RoyalRoad or Tapas for this genre then. And thanks for mentioning @Tempokai! I’m totally fine with harsh/critical feedback—honestly, I’d prefer it. I’d rather...

Thanks for the honest insight! Yeah, I figured historical/political mystery isn’t exactly ScribbleHub’s main crowd—most people here want fast-paced fantasy or system power-ups, right? Do you think it’s still worth posting niche genres here for feedback, or better to aim at a different...

Hi everyone, I’m trying to write something that might—just might—reach a publishable level one day. But let’s be honest, that’s probably unrealistic, right? So I decided to post the first 3 chapters here on ScribbleHub. Well… the result? Almost no readers. So now I’m wondering: Is it...

Just launched your first ScribbleHub or Wattpad novel… and now stuck at the cold start wall? 50 views but 0 comments? 1 lonely favorite? Updating feels like shouting into the void? I've been experimenting with strategies (author’s note questions, chapter hooks, timing), but I’d love to **build...
