Cope harder. Or lower your expectations. Your choice.
You do realize we are in SH and not RR right? SH don't have algorithms that punishes casual authors and newbies.
On the SH platform, engagement is largely determined by visibility. It means that readers' preferences are the most influential. They see stories they enjoy.
That's the best part about SH. The readers here have broad preference. There are audiences for stories of all kind here, not just limited to litRPG.
The latest updates is where you will get most of your readers from. Don't rely on trending because only the top three of trending give you a significant boost. It also attract trolls to your story who will mass downrate it.Therefore, beautiful cover + captivating synopsis + popular genres + and regular releases are common strategies for promoting fiction here.
The usual suspects
Forgot about the third kind of readers: people following the authors they worship moving from other platform to here. They won't interact with anyone else or anything else in the site unless commanded. You can ignore them.The usual suspects
Well, promotion is an activity to attract the attention of customers (potential readers). To make them loyal customers involves product service (story content and storytelling).

@Rosica What do you think?
Always put title and author name in your cover. Without that, readers will not take you seriously because they'll assume the worst of you. The logic is if you can't even be bothered to do something as simple as that, your story is low-effort too.@Rosica What do you think?

I don't want to be responsible for giving people diabetes. No sugar for you all.
The title and author name on the cover thing is a good point. I never thought about it that way but it makes sense. If someone is scrolling through latest updates and they see a cover with no title on it they have to read the actual listing to figure out what it is. Thats already one extra step. And most people wont take that extra step. They will just scroll past.
Bro really saw "no sugar for you all" and went full tsundere analysis mode. Respect the honesty though.

The synopsis is essentially “boy meets girl, but in space,” padded with abstract, dense purple prose that lose my attention very quickly. The narrative puts a great distance between the story and the reader. Take a step back and think about what really hooks readers in a sea of romance stories, and hint at that early. What are the stakes for the characters? Is this just a cosy space romance?
