I am new here, and have been posting for around 20 days now, though despite the fact that i have got some views, no one have commented on any of my chapters until now whatsoever, so can any one here give me a review please.???

You may try promoting your work in threads where people offer free or swap reviews. It may gain more views if more people see it. Also don't worry about the lack of commentary, the SH audience is much quieter at this point than you may expect.

:blob_aww: I recommend you to put your story into your signature if you plan to post regularly. It might earn you some readers.

But aside from that, no comments is a sad fate that befalls many stories here on scribble.:blob_teary:

Also, don't get discouraged by no comments. A lot of people like to be lurkers here. I barely had any comments or didn't, until some more active people arrived at my story.

i know that it is no big deal, considering that it is still in the start, though sometimes frustration just can't help but get a hold of you.

Don't worry, it's normal. My story has been around for awhile and there is only one comment. I used to be a silent reader myself. People rarely comment on something unless it's really necessary.

I've found that asking for comments at the beginning of a chapter roughly doubles the number of comments you'll receive (that is, post a little |author| blurb at the start of the chapter saying something like, "If you like my story, please comment! I love feedback from my readers"). Of course, twice zero is still zero, but once you're getting 1-2 comments per chapter, asking for more usually gets a bit more reader interaction.

In my experience, in the beginning of your story there will be hardly any comments. Maybe because readers find the first arc predictable or expected, but once you write more and get deeper into the story, readers will start to comment and input their opinion on events or even their predication.

Course, the easiest way is to get more readers first. And to get more readers, the best method is to get into the top 9 of trending.

Agreed! I also think it's 'quiet' here. I rarely get comments and what not so don't worry, it seems to be quite normal.

From my experience I barely get any comments but when I do it's usually quite informative or when some readers feel they want to express their views on the current situation. But I guess it's all different depending on the type of story you're writing too. We've all been there though, wanting readers to express their feeling about your story. I know I have. :blob_aww:

Good luck, champ!

Hey, I am a reader of your novel :blob_cookie:
I rated the story and liked every chapter.
I am actually an active reader, but if I have food on my hand, I dont write a comment:blob_hide:

Err...must be the mistakes that needs fixing. But I didn't rate your work just yet; I'm waiting for the fix before giving my ratings.
