Thank you! Wow, waking up to 150 readers overnight sounds like an absolute dream! But I definitely agree with you, discoverability feels like a real challenge for new authors nowadays. Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and the support. Thank you so much! ? Thank you! Keep...

Hi everyone! OP here with a quick update. It's been a little over two weeks since my first post (back when I had 65 readers), and I woke up today to see I finally hit the 100 readers milestone! Thank you so much. It really makes me happy to see people enjoying Yu's journey. For those of you who...

Thank you for your feedback! To be honest, I see my Patreon more as a way for readers to support my creative journey rather than just a place to buy content. Since this is a massive project with over 700 chapters completed in Japanese, my primary focus is to maintain a healthy, consistent daily...

Thank you for your honest feedback!

Actually, I am the original author! I am translating my own Japanese web novel into English using AI tools (Gemini) to share it with the world.

Hi everyone! I am the author of "FabL: The Blue Traveler and the Dual-Body Savior". As some of you might know, I am currently translating my completed Japanese web novel (over 700 chapters total!) into English on a daily basis. To support this long-term project, I am preparing to launch a...

It’s been about a month since I started posting "FabL" here. Thanks to your support, I have successfully completed Chapter 1 (Part 1) as planned! To all the readers who have been following Yu's journey—thank you so much. ■ Major Update Announcement Starting tomorrow (Feb 9th), I will be...

> LitRPG is probably the most popular here... seeing stuff like Vending Machine Isekai... instead of HakoMari... It is ironic, isn't it? In the Japanese market, "Catchy Title & Hook" often wins over "Deep Plot" because readers scroll through thousands of new novels per second. A "Vending...

(Adding to my previous reply regarding the Japanese Industry) I also wanted to touch on the numbers I mentioned in the thread title, as a real-life example of how "hard" the Japanese market can be. As I wrote in the title—"bringing my 3M+ views, 700-chapter saga"—this is not an exaggeration or...

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! It’s fascinating to hear your perspective on the Western industry. To answer your burning question: Is Syosetu a writer's holy grail? The honest answer is: Yes, but it is also a graveyard. While the "Web Novel -> Light Novel -> Anime" flowchart you...

Thanks everyone for the quick and reassuring replies! It’s a huge relief to know that this is just a common "plague" everywhere (as @writerwolf359 mentioned) and not just me doing something wrong. I see the consensus is basically "Report and Delete/Ignore". I'll follow your advice: I'll report...

I wanted to ask how you all handle spam/bot comments. Since I started posting, I've already received a few comments that seem suspicious. They usually try to lure me into joining a Discord server or contacting them immediately ("WebNovel Editor" etc.), without mentioning anything specific about...

Fighting against fate

Thanks everyone for the warm comments! @Eldoria Thanks for the detailed breakdown! My story is technically "Gender Bender", but it's also a "Nobledark / Serious" story with slow pacing, so I was worried it might be too niche. Hearing that 65 readers/month is a "solid" pace compared to your...

Hi everyone! Author Rest here. It's been exactly one month since I started posting my story "FabL" here on Scribble Hub. Looking at my stats today, I was surprised to see 65 Readers on my list! To be honest, I was really nervous. I was constantly worried about whether my story would be...
