Okay so the edits turned to be a failure

Write in your language. For your readers. And if you have no readers, make some.

You can start by finding a person willing to be a reader. That's one. Make a baby with that person then teach the child to read. That's one more.

But why stop at one? The more the merrier!

There is no law against making more than one children with your readers.

Hope this help.

This isn't 1 April anymore. You can stop telling lies.

Or do what Mark Twain did. (Yeah... lots of words.... there's stuff in the middle......)

Had no readers. No book publishers. No book stores.

Wrote some books. Opened a publishing house. Sold books door to door. Expanded to mail order. Promoted literacy. Made readers, by encouraging people to read.

Hans, you say you're a teacher.

Write. And Teach.

Hans is a good teacher who did more to his students than anyone else in their life. I'm sure his students would be interested in reading his book.

All he need to do is ask.

But first, please consider this question: Why are you writing in a language that is not your own? Why not write in your native language, and stay there?

Wow.

Anyway.


@Hans.Trondheim My advice, having read through a chapter of your novel, is that you shouldn’t spend too much time on line editing. Refine selectively. Your prose is fine. It’s clear and readable. As a reader, I’m not particularly nitpicky about style or grammar unless it becomes jarring/ obvious.

What matters more to me is the plot, the structure, the characters. Go through your chapter and ask yourself: would I click “Next”? What compels me to keep reading? OR— Is my character likeable enough? OR—Is my concept fresh? AND—Is my hook strong enough to hold attention?

In the age of web novels, readers are spoiled for choice and impatient. Less is more. You don’t need to rely on AI to turn something functional and readable into something overly florid. Instead, take a step back and consider whether your chapter is structured in a way that leaves readers wanting more.

Yeah… that’s the problem with forum feedback. Its a double-edged sword.

You’ll run into authors who genuinely respond to help you, which is great (and thankfully, they still exist).

But you’ll also get the type who reply just to show off their “authority” (AI 100% bad blablabla), more interested in sounding superior than actually considering your situation.

Taking a break from forums is a solid move. Try exploring other sites where the audience is mostly readers (not authors), they tend to be a lot more genuine and engaged in comments (not only reading 1-3 chapters).
