So, it's been a while since I joined this site but I still feel like no one is reading my work. Can I get some suggestions in order to attract an audience?

What is the procedure for that?
...I meant that linking the story here so we can have a look... There could be many reasons, so I think we have to read the story to asses. Personally, I did nothing substantial for my mediocre story to explode (when i was writing it).

Aaaalright, since OP didn't deliver, this is the latest updated story on this profile:

And the last update before the 19th of oct was august 24th... If you want to get popular here, you need to post at least twice a week. I don't know if there is an issue with your writing style since I haven't read it yet.

nigga first you gotta fix your synopsis
here:
After the second Angel-Demon war, a place was created where the benevolent souls, Angels, and the malevolent beings, Demons, coexisted. But the war had severe side effects and the offspring produced were regarded as mutants or cripples. They were devoid of spiritual powers and made outcasts by the spiritual realm. One of them was devoid of wings too and was therefore considered extremely unlucky. But one day his fate was finally decided and a new life awaited him.

I fixed the one spelling error for you and cleaned it up. We didn't need it explained what an angel demon war is, dude. You telling us when its so self-explanatory makes it seem like you think we're stupid. Just how it looks, just letting you know. Again, its self-explanatory so you don't got to take the time to spell it out for us. Also I took out the other parentheses because there's no reason for you to sound so apologetic. LIke, why say sorry? Its just the setting of the story. It also breaks immersion when we're reading the synopsis.

I could've also rewritten a phrase or two to make it sound better, least to me, but decided not to cuz I think that'd be a bit too much.

Anyway it sounds interesting. Best way to gain readers is just to update more often. Then people will notice it. They'd have to if you update often enough. Your story has a decent premise. Not anything very unique and eye-catching right now, but thats not at all a bad thing and hell maybe you can evenexpand it or change it later as your story goes on. Authors normally change their synopses a couple times throughout their story's lifetime. Either cuz it changes, or its more fleshed out and they have more to work with. But yeah it's definitely a sorta mainstream kind of story that can get a fair number of views if done well.

Like as long as the synopsis looks good and the premise is decent, thats all you usually need....along with an okay cover, which you have. People who don't have those three things wont get views. Regardless of how good or shit their story is, the first part is all about making it look nice so that people click on it.

Anything other than wish fulfillment, isekai, litrpg, smut, genderbender, yuri/shoujo ai, and I may be forgetting a few other tags and genres, will have a difficult time gaining traction on SH. That isn't to say fringe stories can't get popular, but you will have to put in a lot more work, e.g pump out chapters on a regular, find threads in "Looking For"/"Recommendations" that might be searching for the one story you happen to be writing, attractive covers, a good hook of a synopsis.

I see you write BL, which this site sorely needs but unfortunately has a small audience for. The novelupdates forums has a wealth of people constantly craving and looking for BL stories. You can suggest your stories there if it fits what OPs are looking for. Scribblehub isn't the only webserial site either. Try Webnovel, Royal Road, Tapas, Wattpad, Honeyfeed, etc. I would even dare suggest niche subreddit writing communities.
