Just write for yourself and learn to love what you write. If at start you get a good number of reads and then nobody reads in the following chapters, that simply means your content didn't appeal to your target audience.Sorry for being a bother, but I need guidance. I want to write at least one story in my life that can earn, in an honest way, 200 watchers on it and some comments. So far, no matter how hard I try, nothing works out in this direction, and each of my works is worse than the last. It feels awful, and I want to change it, but I don't know how to tackle this problem. What can I do to improve?
Here's how it goes: the opening chapters set what kind of readers you will get and the following chapters will determine how many of these readers stay with you.
If you promise one thing in the opening chapters, and then deliver something else completely in the following chapters, the readers you hooked in the opening chapters will leave. And since other potential readers aren't interested in your opening chapters (of course new readers would read from the start), then you're not going to do well.
It could also be the quality of your composition. If your opening chapters aren't all that good, a lot of readers would still give it a go if the premise interests them, for like 3 chapters maybe. But after that, quality matters.
tl:dr
Don't bait and switch.
Create quality content.
