Well, reader-wise, I only got 61 bookmarks.
Ratings, I only got 4.3 stars out of 11 scorers.
As for comments, only four (4) comments since I first posted there way back in April 2021.
There is a complaint, yes, which is about my work written in English instead of Japanese. But the commenter still supported me.
My highest view count (per day) is 600+. Accumulated views amounted to 15k.
I don't look at the reception anyway. I just post and upload there (the story there has 300+ chapters, and 14 volumes including extra content). Whether or not they read it is on them. I never received any heckling for being a gaijin, if I may add. ?
I'd choose posting that novel in Syosetu anytime, rather than disturb my peace by posting here in ScribbleHub, because the vocal audience here hated harem.
Well, Harem already exist and encouraged in Syosetsu for very long time. Harem is kinda born and exist in the Japanese novel community like Syosetsu after all.
Like the culture of Beta Jap Male highscoler that can't even handholding, and others.
But,
Scribble hub readers usually comes from English reader who usually read too many japanese harem shitnovel from NovelUpdates or something like that.
And many creator here can't really write that much better and realistic harem dynamic. Most often, if they can't write harem with superb realism of Professional writer, it will be rejected.
Plus the existence of LGHDTV+ and Queer shitnovel due to people here leaning towards Western American and European culture. Blame it on English.
Not to mention those Fujo BL stories from Chinese that always make the females look like useless princess and the male as actual partner, and self insetting as the male ikemen while forgetting that in reality they're female themselves.
In my stereotype mind,
Harem is Hated here, unless :
-> It contain LGHDTV+ propaganda
-> It's all male and the harem owner is female (thus reverse harem)
-> it's hidden and not show clearly as Harem, but as friendship instead
or the hardest,
-> Realistic harem with real 3d depth character that have intelligence and deep lore. But people still hate it nonetheless because they're blinded by their hatred against harem.
And even with those measure, it's still going to be hated. Western culture usually hate harem and encourage cheating against your partner (NTR is hype).
--------------
to be safe, just write comedy romcom in Isekai for popularity.
