authors, how do you attract viewer on scribble hub as a new author? I really don't see any method in which I can actually attract new readers other than asking them to come from other platforms
like for example royal road has ads and shoutout,
forums just show the latest post so there is no need there ,
but what about scribble hub? my webnovel didn't even appear in the latest novel section
if you have any methods please tell...

Novels take time to be fully approved and added to the latest novel section. My suggestions is to get a good cover, a good blurb, to post a lot of chapters and to post frequently. The latest updates are one of the key ways people find stories (at least according to my stories analytics).

A synopsis that teases more than it says
A slutty-looking woman on the cover, ideally anime style (note - this will LOSE you readers if no such character appears in the first ten chapters)
Word of mouth
Luck
Using popular tags (accurately - using them poorly will cost you readers)
Adult content
Having 20, 50 or 100+ chapters posted

Hashtags
Use proper hashtags. If you have to ask if a hashtag fits, don't use it. It should fit without thinking. Don't get in trouble.

Healthy updates.
Too short, and it won't be appealing, leaving readers starved to look for something more appetizing.
Too long and people will be looking to to the scrollbar to skip forward, eventually dropping it. Unless, it's a really well written, well done story.

Consistent Scheduling and Balancing.
Every 2 - 4 days about 1.5k - 2.5k words seems to be the consensus from what I've seen from forum posts.

Yep, or if you cannot pull a every 2-4 days update then set a shedule, put it in your synopsis and keep to it.

The you can also lenghten the shedule to once a week or once every two weeks but if you do that you have to deliver correspondingly well written content.

Update daily I guess, more exposure = views.

Follow other authors you really like, and gain some exposure when they post profile messages now and then. You might like to respond back to them, if the topic warrants it, and then other followers of theirs see your reply. I gained several followers doing just that, and naturally they look at my work too. I'm closing in on 400 readers. It just takes time.

If you're seeking more readers, and that's your main goal, a new story title might help.

People's attention span in this day and age is degrading by the minute. On top of that, your time in the spotlight, especially in Scribble Hub, is very limited. Whether you like it or not, you want to be as eye-catching as possible in the smallest amount of time, and to catch some eyes, you gotta be:

1. Simple to read and understand.
2. Jog interest instantly.
3. Be a little pandering.

You could achieve those things with several things, starting with your title. This is by no means an attack or a mockery of your story's title. But in terms of eye-catchy-ness, "Laureate Equisentia" is a bit too complex for the modern attention span. Sure, you could get readers who have the time and creativity to appreciate your title. But simpler titles tend to stick faster in a lot of other readers' minds, especially when they’re scrolling through dozens of others.

Also, I believe your synopsis is pretty good already, especially the first few lines. That said, you might want to simplify or shorten it a little. Synopses are one of the few places where it’s better to tell more than show, since the goal is to catch those eyes real quick. If you’d rather keep your current version though, I’d at least suggest breaking it into shorter paragraphs to make it easier to read.

Reminder that this tip is only for you to gather readers INSIDE Scribble Hub itself. However, I've utilized this method and gained over 2000 readers without outside promotion, though it still did require quite some time for me to reach where I am today.

Please take my advice with a grain of salt, by the way. If you would rather stick with your original title, then feel free to do so.

Nothing beats an interesting and original story. Or maybe just a blurb without any spelling mistake and chapters that have an actual format (with chapter numbers and Majuscules in titles, please dear God I beg of you make authors number their chapters, I'll die otherwise, it's so hard to know where you stopped reading without this, I simply won't start reading a story if there aren't numbers in chapter titles)

Okay, everyone's given great advice. I'll add one point that's often overlooked: Fill out your glossary! Don't overlook it. Providing concise information in a glossary can help potential new readers grasp the broad outline of your story, from characters, worldbuilding, lore, timeline to monster types, artifacts, and historical sites. This at least demonstrates your seriousness in developing your fiction and minimize the bias of new fiction being dismissed.

Also .., AI...
  • Use it to assist in translation if you must.
  • Use it to verify/clean grammar
  • Use it freely for your cover art if you have no other/better options.

Do NOT:
  • use it to write a post "selling" your work on the site.
  • Use it to write a blurb
  • Use it to comment on other's works.
  • Use it to write and then claim more than 50% credit (you are at BEST a collaborator at that point, not a writer)

I try to keep concise information about story elements in the glossary whenever possible. When I first started accessing SH, I often found a comprehensive glossary, but now this feature is almost ignored. Glossary is like a fandom feature in fiction. It's quite helpful, and not all fiction platforms offer it.

Especially if you do anthologies here. A glossary that contains each story you have, plus a very tiny one-sentence description to accompany it, does wonders.

I like all the advice you’ve given. I’m going to use as much of it as I can. Especially when it comes to the story cover.
Now, if I can just get Amish to put on those cat ears and that tail.
Again, thanks.

Simple, you use the shoulder touch method. You walk up to viewers, place a hand on their shoulder, and say "Hey." Works every time.
