Wait, I thought you were joking

I smell copium here. The one with "My fiction isn't popular because they're niche and the narrative quality is better than popular stories." Kind.

Basically just a reskin of people of the internet telling @Kurayami "Your fiction is popular because you're lucky."

lollllllllllllllll

im very confused. this has probably 3 levels of complexity with alts referencing each other. just useone goddamed account and stop changing your avatars and names

Just read this book if you're looking for stories with good narrative quality.

@Representing_Tromba have.

You won't find such stories easily in amateur writing sites.

Can someone explain all of this to me in a digestible manner? I need my drama slop delivered in a concise video, like any self-respecting zoomer.

Ask @Story_Marc or @zachycards
They make youtube videos

Ah yeah, I am lucky, @Rosica. None of it was through effort or good writing on my part. It was all luck and no skill. Thank you for your patronage, you little treasure goblin readers. I just beat the luck out of you and farmed you for stats and trendings.

The point is, don't go to a fast food restaurant expecting a Michelin dinner.

I don't know why you think that... I thought your writing was good, at least based on the few chapters I read earlier.

I followed El tips to make my narrative quality average, easier to understand and intentionally create MC who think everyone else is a chess piece. But my fiction is not popular.

You're kidding... your fiction often even makes it onto popular (niche) fiction lists if you filter by genre and tags.

You need clickbait cover. Show more skin.

No, just put a really big [HAT]. People can't resist witch hats.

My fiction is popular because of Eldoria!!!

I don't understand why people are offended by my statement. I apologize if my statement offended you.

Here, I'd like to clarify my statement... I'm simply saying that popularity is different from quality. Why is my statement being misinterpreted as meaning that a popular work is the same as a low-quality work?! It's possible for a work to be both popular and high-quality... very possible (see: LOTR). What's irrelevant is measuring popularity parameters against quality, and vice versa.

It's the internet.

If one's goal is to write (artistic) fiction, then study how established authors (Tolkien, et al) write fiction. If one's goal is to have widely known (popular) fiction, then study market research, promotion, and algorithms. If one wants both artistic and popular fiction, then study both.
