Honestly, I would have tried another way to see the difference in results, not because I am dissatisfied with the current one. I already have decent reader retention. My page views did take a hit but recovered rather well in my opinion. Since it is unwise to compare them to each other -...

I did exactly that. I wrapped up my 1st book, labelled it complete, and started a new one. In my case, my 1st book had a very cyclic feel to it and I simply wouldn't allow myself to continue with the same book. I've certainly lost the reader # and a few readers as well, especially in the...

Your first chapter of the OoT is impossible to read, honestly speaking. It is absolutely dense infodump that is exacerbated by a whimsical yet confusing style. On the first attempt, I managed to digest 2 paragraphs, glanced at third and skipped the rest. On the second - I managed to get halfway...

That is why I specified that you don't actually need to start the grand goal of the story right in the first chapter. But you want readers to have some hints of what MC is doing right now. if the MC is not active - he isn't the protagonist of the plot. A good example of that would be a generic...

You need a hook. You introduced the characters, but there is nothing for the reader to expect. they dont know how and why the demon girl will help him (or if the MC is even planning on getting help at all) This begins as SoL but usually, such a slow pace SoL can work mostly in a setting of...

Your main issue is the lack of purpose as of now. Something that should have been addressed possibly as early as the first chapter. If not the main plot point but, at least, some immediate set of actions for what MC is trying to do/achieve/prevent. Something that would make your reader think "I...

Honestly speaking - that story would have a very specific audience. That is not very represented on SH. Beyond that, I would say the early chapters do hold up for themselves with the most obvious suggestions would be the rather obvious infodump about archons and the lack of some discrete plan of...

I was talking before signature. It doesn't really matter if you signed the contract already since the choice was made.

Conditioning and Addiction. I would actually say that emergence of current litRPGs coincides with WoW release. There were stories about being in a game before but I am unfamiliar with any that outright used numbers and statuses. This wasn't just about the emergence of MMORPG - it was about the...

Yes. This is why you are not allowed to use their contract as a replacement for your own if you needed to contract someone else. Or claim the contract as your own work.

Webnovel ToS only prevents you from the disclosure of settlement amounts from arbitration. It doesn't have blanket NDA

I wonder why no one actually posts the contract they are talking about?

Concentrate on things they do care about instead. No matter how stoic or uncaring they might be there still should have some things to care about. If there are none you are really writing some sort of robot or worse a cold wall and these require a completely different narration. If you want to...

Well, taking cover was used quite extensively for millennia. The issue was that until the emergence of rifled machine guns the battles were way, way less deadly. And armour had much better chances of stopping the attack. Roman scuta or Greek hoplons were that "take cover" - back then you didn't...

I believe the followers see it as notifications. In my case, I had a rather set schedule with weekly chapters on a specific day and hour. So when I was a few hours late I could easily post on my profile instead of dropping a fake chapter. So that when my readers would check for the expected...

Let me try to tackle this as well, if you don't mind. I feel like if one is to talk about the show and tell is better to start at what it is trying to achieve, rather than following it blindly. And it is trying to achieve immersion. It is about making the story feel like it is all around you...

To say something directly - Author Notes, and sometimes profile posts. But I tend to reply to most of the comments and discord convos as well. Especially If i need to talk to a specific reader instead of all of them

You also dont necessarily have to stick to rigid definitions of a tag too. Quite a few of my tags are rather loose on their definitions, and while technically correct many aren't exactly what do you expect when you read them. (Heck, I've gotten some comments because I chose to approach isekai...

Just practice enough so your stories catch up to your acceptable level.

This is why I haven't tackled any ancient entities myself yet lol. all my older characters are a few centuries old tops. Don't forget that self-perception is always normal. And they could have more physiological adaptations to such long lives. Yes, the amount of food and drink they had to...
