I think my biggest gripe with webnovels atm, is how the vast majority of them don’t have a direction. Read your average Chinese Webnovel and outside of the golden finger, genre, and the promise of power fantasy the genre gives, what is the story? Here on SH, it isn’t much different.
This is not to say you must plot the whole journey, but perhaps plotting the nearby character and/or plot arc would help.
