Just posted my first story on this site last week, I read up on some of the tips posted here and tried my best to follow them (using a cover, popular genres etc) but I have a hard time gauging if my story is going to be a success or not. All of the comments I've received so far are also super generic, which isn't too helpful :sweating_profusely: so I would love to hear your opinion of my story and maybe some feedback on how I can improve my story's growth!

100 in five chapters sounds like it's doing well to me.

This thread has better tips for getting readers than I could ever give.

I don't know if it's good enough but it sounds pretty good
Why are you hitting your readers?


Jokes aside, that's good
must be smut

Idk. If corporate America has taught me anything, nothing but perpetual exponential growth counts. 5 days in and you don’t already have a merch store and tens of thousands of fans? You aren’t meeting the board’s arbitrarily set expectations. Also. We are going to need you to implement micro transactions. Into a webnovel. Somehow.

It's very good! :blobthumbsup: . Don't get discouraged if it slows down, however. That growth rate can only last so long. The next hundred might take twice as long, and then the next twice as long again. At this point, I get about 20 new readers a month. Which can feel discouraging, but on the other hand, it means I've reached most of my target audience (1200 readers on SH). Royal road is lagging behind though, so I'm considering doing another ad campaign there to bring potential patrons in. It has more readers, but ratio wise, it should be much higher. I read somewhere it's between 1-3% of readers who will sub to a patreon, so if things keep moving well, consider starting one up. The rewards have to be worth it though.
