I only posted 3 chapters, but I have few views on my story, and that made me think about making a new cover and new title for the story, I want you to choose which of the 2 covers and 2 titles caught your attention the most, if You've been writing here for a while now, if you want to give me any tips on how to get more readers on my story, feel free.​

The Cursive font is a little eye-searing with the cyan+yellow, but the first cover is definitely more eye catching. Reminds me of those old scratch art pads.

Oh for Tips:
The most reliable method is the 'Latest Updates' tab. Your story will appear there every time you upload a chapter. To take advantage, you need to upload at various times so that different people will see the story. If you upload at the same time every day, then the same users will see it and either already have it on their list, or just ignore it like they ignored it last time.

There's also 'Similar Stories' and Tags. If you properly apply the 25 tags you're allowed to use, whenever somebody searches for those tags they will see your story. Other stories that have similar tags will link yours on their page as well, meaning if your story is similar to a popular story, it will get more views. It's good to have a mix of popular tags and uncommon tags since that will help people find you. However, you have to remember that any tags you add that don't describe the story will make readers who wanted those tags angry.

Lastly is the Signature on this forum. Anyone who sees your comments will see a link you post there and have the option of following it to your story.

Outside of the inbuilt functions, you can always advertise your story directly on social media sites.

Gosh, countless authors have asked and answered the same damn thing over and over again.

I hope this'll be the last one.

Generally, you just need to be consistent. Stock up backlogs so you always meet your upload schedule.

Finely, proofread your works and give some time to edit them all. A spell-checker app/extension will help you with fixing bad grammar.
(P.S: You don't need to buy the premium pass, use the basic pass to check on words that itch the readers.)

Specifically, aim your works for certain readers. You cannot satisfy everyone, which is why tags exist. In rare cases, people will always read your stories regardless of genre or tags as long as your story is good. In that moment, they're there not for the tags they choose, they're there for you.

That's all I could think of. Oh, also try not to leave any plot holes. Most readers (especially on this site) tend to pay attention to every single word plastered in each chapters. If you done well, they might still accept your stories albeit having plot holes. But, that would be another thing if your series are decent.
Readers use their imagination to fill in these plot holes often. You can exploit this kind of mistake since if done well would spice up your stories like a seasoned beef.

Be consistent,

Check your works,

Satisfy your target audiences,

And most of all, don't leave any plot holes.


Good luck.

If you want me to choose, then I'll be honest. In this case, I am a lore-loving reader. And between these two, I prefer the first one because it made me create a question, 'Who is Nadira and why is that girl crying?'. If I were an action-lover dude, I would pick the second one because the title sounds cool, and the cover's a nice-looking one.

It's preference-based. And if we were to delve into details, both can be well received on various websites.

Some people will prefer the deep meaning the title and the cover have in the first one. For the second one, several might jump onto it since the title felt badass and the cover supports that.

Don't know anything about your story, but thanks to that first title and cover art you should be fine getting readers. If you're going character centric with your plot that version rather than the second will probably draw in more readers. As the writer above me indicated it makes one question who Nadira is, and if it's a spy/thriller story even more so. Who doesn't want a woman with gun doing some form of revenge, mystery solving or criminal curtailing?
