I've seen authors who work backwards from their endings, logically setting up what needs to happen in order for the ending to make sense.

Being a writer is 50% marketing. Bad title, bad blurb, bad cover, wrong genres, wrong tags = gg

Okay. I've showed your fiction to various other RR authors i personally know. It is unanimously a litrpg on RR. Maybe not on SH. Definitely not on JP LN, because they dont have such a genre as status screens are the norm. But you do you, you have your feedback. Being a writer is 50% marketing...

'There are things there that eventually serve a purpose'. The only purpose they serve right now is to actively discourage RR readers from reading any further. Foreshadowing is the death of many fictions on RoyalRoad, especially when the payoff comes much later. You want money? Action and...

Don't worry I read both the prologue and chapter 1 Title: Intriguing title, easy to get into. Very varying definitions of what 'screwed' means, but otherwise it fuels the curiosity of the readers. Blurb: What catches is the ordinary aspect of the main character, which is good for self-insert...

No, your thoughts were fine. I was noob then, I have learnt my lesson, senpai. Title: Brilliant, 10/10. Straight to the point. Blurb: Even better, set up the direct premise and existing conflicts in a split second. Being able to explain your story in a single line is a gift. Cover: Must...

Here's a part of dialogue that stood out to me. In order to show you the difference, lets use the words u used to write the dialogue in a completely different scenario, but in a faster pace with a bit more tension. Take note specifically of the 'pace' at which you are reading it. I tried my...

Title: Interesting premise set up from the get go. Good job. Blurb: Short and direct. No issues with misunderstanding. Cover: Pretty good, would click if I saw. First Chapter: The double first person POV swap would instantly kill your story if it had a less interesting premise. In that...

Title: Pretty short and catchy, but it doesn't seem to deliver an interesting premise from the get-go. Blurb: Short, sharp blurb. It is a bit too vague on the premise - would prefer if it was clearer that he has been having the dreams etc. 'Nightmares' is a word that can have many many...

My blackmarket does that, or is going to do that. Loansharking comes in chapter 49 onwards.

Chapter 1, formatting is bad for mobile, but otherwise pretty good. I don't see any major issues there. The flowery descriptions may throw off most readers, so I don't think it'll do particularly well on RoyalRoad. Readers there are a bit.... ehh.... well, if they like my blackmarket and its...

Yes

1. Title Zero explanation of what the story is. No one would click on such a title. 2. Blurb Too basic, it's really too basic. There's no tension, no action, no consequence to face. No mention of any overarching plot. Is it slice of life? It reads like it, yet doesn't feel like it...

1. Title Pretty good, will get clicks for sure. Explains about 33% of the story 2. Blurb Three characters are introduced in a blurb even before the first chapter began. That's a bit impressive. Would work for traditional publishing, and I don't see any issues if it was on Amazon. But on RR...

society isn't real

Wassup big boi 1. Title Great. Nothing else to say. Sells the setting/Premise of the story immediately. 2. Blurb You need to format it. Right now it's too 'timeline-sequenced' - like person a did this, then he did that, then he did this, so he did that, then he felt this, then he did that...

Ok lets start in sequence. 1. Title The title does not tell me anything about the book. This is okay for traditional publishing, but not for webnovel publishing. Consider putting the tags directly in the title. The title may mean something to you because of what you have written for the...
