I'm already #63 in the Survival Game tag

[PBJ_Time]

I never thought this would happen after my first week publishing. Maybe in three weeks if I'm lucky, sure, but everyone else below me has been writing for months and have more followers than I do. It's not like I'm writing smut, either, so this honestly quite an achievement for me.

I'm also #21 in the Precognition tag, but that tag seems to be pretty easy to break into the top. This is only because I'm gonna introduce a character who can see the future someday. Either way, it feels great. ?

Great job! Having four reviews with only 16k words is even better and a good sign of reader engagement! You're doing something right ^.^

And yet, my view count on RR is a meager 800+ views in comparison. ?

Oh, well. They never said breaking into that site was gonna be easy.

Not trying to be that guy, but those four reviews were probably swap reviews.

Either way, congratulations

Sometimes, things slip through the cracks and leave unexpected impressions.

Your novel is an isekai litRPG, which is RR's staple, yet you've found better success on SH which is GL central.
Mine is a GL, yet it's doing better on RR and is #140 all-time.

Even within a genre that is typically popular/unpopular on these sites you can always find that combination and balance of things that resonate with those who wouldn't otherwise read that genre. Regardless, you're off to a good start!

I guess you could say it's a matter of genre saturation on both sites. Posting my story in RR is probably like the Buzz Lightyear "yes, I do X" meme. Almost everyone there has been writing isekai LitRPGs longer than I have.

Try posting on Webnovel. Maybe they will appreciate your novel there better than RR.

I would, but there's been a lot of shady stuff going on there, and it seems even harder to break into than here.

It's not that bad, but it's also not good. I received quite well reception in there.

All right, but I'm not sure if they allow the "stat box" format like on RR and here. I would have to edit all my revised chapters.

RR shouldn't be base you should be comparing with.

As much as I like scribblehub, RR fields stories that are on different league when it comes to quality compared to this site, there is a reason almost all of the succesful stories in that site are already formally published or in theway of publishing, you need to go up and beyond to break through royalroad. You just need to look at top 15 of stories in any genre in both site to understand the quality difference

Though for some reason the guys there are suckers for litRpg

Congrats, I'm also there too Xd
