Not sure how quickly or deep you want the romance aspect, but you could try "The Wanderblood Princess and Sir Try Hard". It's on another webnovel site, but easily searchable. But its prose and how well the plot and characters are constructed really stand out among webfiction I've seen lately.

There's a webnovel that I saw on Honeyfeed (they are having a writing contest) called "Wanderblood Princess and Sir Try Hard". Not sure if I can post a link to another site, but easily searchable title. MC is a princess with a dual personality of sorts, one that is cute and feminine, while the...

I think they were making an honest effort in making it a good contest. However, the whole "webnovel to manga adaptation" thing is still a BIG if. That's because all they plan to do is translate the winning novels and submit them to Kodansha. Supposedly, Kodansha is somewhat on board with it, but...

The west in general lacks an industrial equivalent to LN companies in Japan. LNs started off as pulp fiction that was often common in the convention space, which as you know, is super marketized in Japan (Comiket being the biggest one). The West simply didn't develop any parallel to that, so...

That happened to me. The dude gave me a 1 star literally right after I posted and sent me a DM about how stupid the title was. The only good thing was I got several 5 starts over the next day or two.

And if you name your novel with a really long dumb title that sounds too much like a Japanese light novel, then you'll get your first hater within 5 minutes of posting!

If I'm motivated, I can easily hit 50k in a month, even on top of having to work and take care of family. But I only do it for special occasions, like a contest that I'm going to enter. Actually writing for one right now. 36k in the first week.

You can give mine a try. My MC has iffy stats, so he ended up being a chef. He has to work to take advantage of opportunities. My Attack Stat is Negligible... | ScribbleHub

Ah, you're right. I meant GoodNovel, not Goodreads.

It happens automatically, free or not. Those sites try to pad their libraries to make themselves seem bigger.

Webnovel also gets hit by scrapper bots the hardest. That mean that any story that exceeds a certain length (probably ~40-50 chapters) will get picked up by them and automatically posted on dozens of pirate sites. Happened to me, but I didn't care about profiting off my story. Another point to...

I post there too. I was only pointing towards the signing the contract and joining the discord as a contracted author, which is where the toxicity comes in. If you don't come under their radar, then they don't bother.

Both Webnovel and Goodreads are known to aggressively give contracts to anything that reaches a certain length, no matter the quality. They have a mindset that they'll eventually make the money back because they force you to write so much. And if you don't, they just don't pay you. There's very...

Present tense stories are a bit rare, but they exist. Though the only things I can think of are the Danmachi and Shield Hero LNs if you want something to go by as an example of writing that has been polished to a publishable form.

I'll bite, for the sake of amusement. My second female lead for my novel seems to be the popular one. Description: The princess of the kingdom, Katalina Bastia de la Sisitina, who spends her free time tinkering and creating magic-based tools as the genius inventor, Katsys, for the MC. She has...
