    Ongoing or Completed?

    I like series with multiple volumes, which can be read individually based on the arc.

    What little details irks you when reading?

    I hate it when authors keep villains lowly, disgusting, perverted, and stupid. Okay, if the villain is written to illustrate how corrupt the world is, but keeping them for tens or even hundreds of chapters, even providing plot armor for the rotten villain, is simply unreasonable. Writers like...

    First Chapter!

    One chapter is too early to ask for a review. That chapter only represents the prologue. You should add at least 10 more chapters to achieve a sufficient overview of your story, including characters, plot, world-building, and moral.

    No reviews

    My novel has been over 3 months old with over 70 chapters (over 100 chapters in unpublished drafts) but there are no reviews yet. Well, I'm not expecting any reviews either because I'm also refining and revising it repeatedly (even rewriting it to certain standards). Personally, I've almost...

    Ignoring content, what do you think is the minimum number of chapters in a novel to be considered worth reading?

    Well, I didn't provide the "other" or 1-1000 options because I wanted to find a 'minimum' standard for the number of chapters in a novel, which would serve as a starting point for new writers to reach a quantitatively readable standard. Answers like "other" and similar seem abstract and don't...

    What about this synopsis?

    That's fine if you want to write something worth reading (and in line with your author's ideals). We need more experimental novels that will enrich fiction literacy, instead of writing generic stories that simply repeat patterns, similar tropes with different names. This doesn't mean writing...

    What about this synopsis?

    Your synopsis is more like an info dump, leaving readers confused. A good synopsis answers the story's moral premise—what conflict are you planning to narrate in your novel? It's best to simply state the story's moral premise, concisely, clearly, and captivatingly. This way, potential readers...

    How long did it take before your first book gained traction?

    I once got over 50 bookmarks (readers) just from the latest series displayed for one day. The most influential factor in the number of readers for a new novel is a visually appealing cover. If you're releasing a new novel, you should make the cover as eye-catching as possible (an anime/light...

    I've conducted a mini-survey. Of over 40 respondents, the majority said novels are worth reading, with at least ten (20-99) chapters. You can access the survey thread here...

    Ignoring content, what do you think is the minimum number of chapters in a novel to be considered worth reading?

    I myself have never read thousands of web novels. My record is ~800 chapters for a web novel. And all the Chinese novels I've read are mostly high fantasy and sci-fi, some of which are: Game is Too Real, Game of the World Tree, Gospel of Blood, and The Knight and the Blood Princess. I haven't...

    Ignoring content, what do you think is the minimum number of chapters in a novel to be considered worth reading?

    If you've ever read a Chinese web novel, you'll find thousands of chapters. Yes, even though most Chinese web novels' plots are repetitive, with different name of antagonists, but the core problem is the same, like the young master in a cultivation novel. And, oddly enough, fans enjoy it.

    Do you think your story measures up?

    My novel has a similar vibe to Akame ga Kill. Akame and Marry El Rose aka Blood Rose Princess are both executioners of justice who don't hesitate to shed the blood of tyrannical criminals for the sake of justice. They both are calm, cool but have many wounds. However, my novel takes a different...

    How long did it take before your first book gained traction?

    My friend, if you get excessively complimentary comments and then end up asking for collaboration or something, be careful! They target new writers who are still innocent. Harsh comments that smell like criticism are more honest than empty and deceptive praise.

    I generally avoid novels with Romance in their genre

    My novel explicitly warns on the front page, Trigger Warning: "...It contains no fan service, light romance, or harem." Because I want my story to be driven by its central moral premise (the mother-daughter relationship and universal human values in a dark world), and I don't want to mislead...
